Celtic literature

Excalibur was the name of the legendary sword of King Arthur. The sword was magically embedded in a rock with an inscription that announced that whoever managed to extract it would become king. Despite the efforts, nobody managed to extract it. When everyone had given it as impossible, Arthur, being very young, managed to get it out almost effortlessly.


(9499) Excalibur is related with the interaction moments were a demonstration of masculine strength is shown (8:3 resonance with Mars), like in the movies "Straw Dogs" (2011) and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes "(2011); or in the movie "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), with the typical humor of the '80s.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011)

Harrison Ford, actor of the movie "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), has Excalibur in Aquarius (8th Mon-Node House), in quincunx with Mercury in Cancer (3rd Moon-Node House), and in golden aspect (137.5º) with Venus in Gemini (3rd Moon-Node House), wich is in the 2nd Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / Moon-Node Horoscope).

(142) Polana, self-defense through hand-to-hand fighting

(142) Polana is a main belt asteroid (inner zone II) discovered in January of 1875. It was spotted without being identified in November of 1923, January of 1954, December of 1956 and September of 1963.

It has a perihelion of 2.09 AU and an aphelion of 2.74 AU. The semimajor axis is at 2.41 AU. It has an orbital period of 3 years and 278 days. It has an inclination of 2.2º. It has a diameter of about 55 km.


It has the following orbital resonances:

Semi-major axis:
  • 1:2 with Mars (%100.0)

Perihelion:

  • 6:5 with Vesta (99.8)

Aphelion:

  • 4:5 with Vesta (99.8)


Geographical location

Pola is the Roman name for Pula, a coastal city located on the Istrian peninsula in northwestern Croatia.



The city stands out for having a very large and excellently preserved Roman amphitheater, used by the Roman civilization for fighting shows of beasts and gladiators.



The asteroid Polana combines the opposition quality of the number 2 with the fight and escape capacity of Mars, along with a great ability to focus on key points (Vesta).

"Money Heist" (2017)

It is related with self-defense, through hand-to-hand fight, aimed at protecting the ecosystem of the main belt (food, relationships and work).

"The Host" (2013) 

Al Pacino, actor in the film "Esencia de mujer" (1990), has Polana in Aquarius (9th Moon-Node House) square with Sun-Saturn in Taurus (6th Moon-Node House).

Denzel Washington, actor in the movies "The Equalizer" (2014) and "The Equalizer 2" (2018), has Polana in Sagittarius (2nd Moon-Node House, cusp) in conjunction with the Black Moon; and in semisextile with the Sun in Capricorn (1st Moon-Node House, cusp).

Saoirse Ronan, actress of the movie "The Host" (2013), has Polana in Aries (7th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Vesta in Taurus; and in square with the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope) in Capricorn --which is in conjunction with Uranus and sextile with Mars--.

Roman mythology

Lucifer was the god 'light-bearer', representing the stars or planets that shine at dawn (morning stars).


(1930) Lucifer is related with changes in attitude and behavior as a result of correction of the personal way of seeing things (9:7 resonance with Cybele), like in the movies "An Unfinished Life" (2005), "North Contry" (2005) and "Pride and Prejudice" (2005).


By positively assessing a source of nutrition (food, relationships or work), a surprising self-organization of mood happens (12:5 resonance with Jupiter), like at the end of the movie "Mary Poppins" (1964).
