Greek mythology

Clotho and her sisters (Lachesis and Atropos), formed the group of Three Moiras, responsible for controlling the birth and death of each individual human being through the thread of life: Clotho manufactured the thread from textile fiber, Lachesis determined its length, and Atropos cut the thread.


The asteroid Klotho is related with the ability to finish what is started, fulfilling until the date indicated in the contract or until the completion of the task specified in the agreement.

Dustin Hoffman, actor of the movie "Straw Dogs" (1971), has Klotho in Leo (4th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Sun; and in semisextile with the Moon and Neptune in Virgo (3rd Moon-Node House).
