Historical character

 

The asteroid Alexandra is named after the naturalist and astronomer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), especially recognized for setting the foundations of the discipline 'biogeography', which studies the distribution of species and ecosystems throughout geographic space and geological time.

 

Distribution of the world population today

The asteroid Alexandra is related with the ability to assess the social environment of a determined urban, rural or geographical area, depending on the moment of the diurnal and annual cycle.

 

Shore of a beach during the summer season

The asteroid Alexandra pays special attention not only to the amount of people that may be in a certain place, but also to their individual characteristics that predominate in the population group, such as age, gender, etc...

Dian Fossey, zoologist recognized for her scientific work and for the protection and conservation of gorillas in the Virunga Mountains, in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has Alexandra in Cancer (9th Moon-Node House, cusp), in opposition to Mars; in quincunx with Vesta in Aquarius (2nd Moon-Node House, cusp) [which is in conjunction with Venus]; and in trine with the Moon Node in Pisces and with the Crossing Point of Age Progressions in Pisces [which are in conjunction with the Aries point].

 

Sigourney Weaver, actress of the movie "Gorillas in the Mist" (1988), has Alexandra in Leo (9th Moon-Node House), in trine/sextile with the Crossing Axis of Age Progressions in Aries/Libra [which is conjunct Mercury in Libra (7th Moon-Node House) and in square with Uranus in Cancer (10th Moon-Node House)].

Greek mythology

 

Echo was a nymph who entertained Hera through long conversations, in order to facilitate Zeus's sexual encounters with other nymphs.

 

When Hera realized what was happening, she punished Echo by making her unable to speak; she only could repeat the last word of each other's sentence.

 

She became interested in Narcissus, a young man who lived in love with himself, after having observed her own reflection on a lake.

 

The asteroid Echo is related with the ability to reinforce conversation through words, sounds or gestures, which express emotions of approval, surprise, etc ... indicating that one is active listening (Aha... Aha...). Which can generate security, disinhibition or good humor in the other person, depending on the case, and significantly modify the rhythm of the conversation.

 

In certain cases, such as children or foreigners who are not fluent enough with the language, the asteroid Echo also allows to correct or rectify the communication of the other person.

Greek mythology

 

Arachne was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon, a dyer who dyed wool with the purple of Tire. She lived in Hipepa, where she had her workshop. Her ability to knit and embroider was extraordinary, but the praise she received ended going up to the head of the young woman, to the point of affirming that her abilities were superior to those of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and also of crafts. The goddess was angry, but gave the young Arachne a chance to redeem herself:

 

Athena assumed the form of an old woman and warned Arachne not to offend the gods. The mortal scoffed and proposed a weaving contest in which she could prove her superiority. Athena took off her disguise and the contest began. Athena wove the scene of her victory over Poseidon, which inspired the citizens of Athens to name the city in her honor. The Arachne tapestry, on the other hand, represented twenty-two episodes of infidelities of Zeus to Hera with Leda, Europa, Danae and others, in which he participated disguised as different animals. 

 

At first, Athena recognized that the young woman's dexterity had been perfect, but then she realized how disrespectful the subject she had chosen had been. Her anger led her to destroy the tapestry and turn Arachne into a spider.

 

The asteroid Arachne is related with the ability to direct resources and personal skills towards a positive and beneficial aim.

Hera reacted in a jealous and revengeful way towards the lovers of her husband Zeus and towards the children who were born from those relationships. She was the goddess of marriage and protector of married women.

Due to the interaction between the parts of a relationship, and of this as a unit in the social environment, everything is in a certain way interconnected. So, sooner or later, the relationship may have to deal with aspects that had been left out until then.
