Greek mythology

Eurydice was a dryad, a nymph of trees, especially of oaks. She lived in Thrace in love with Orpheus.

On her wedding day, Aristeo --a rival pastor from Orpheus-- tried to kidnap her. She managed to get rid of him, but during the escape she accidentally stepped on a poisonous snake, which fatally bit her foot.

Desperated, Orpheus decided to descend into the underground world to search for her. Thanks to his charm with the lyre, he got Charon to take him in his boat to the other shore of the Styx lagoon, that the Cerberus guardian opened the doors of the underworld to him, and also that Hades allowed him to take his beloved back.

Peneus, official name of the satellite of the asteroid (41) Daphne

The satellite of the asteroid (41) Daphne was discovered in March 2008 and oficially named Peneus in March 2019.

Peneus, son of the titans Oceanus and Thetis, was a river god in Greek mythology. He had a son and three daughters with the nymph Creusa.

When Eros, god of passionate love, became angry with Apollo for having mocked about his skill with the bow, he shot an arrow to make him fall in love with Daphne, one of Peneus' daughters, knowing in advance that she would reject him. 


When Daphne saw that Apollo was about to reach her, she asked her father for help and he turned her into a laurel tree. For Apollo, that tree was sacred.


Damian Lewis, actor of the TV series "Life" (2007), has Daphne in Virgo (6th Moon-Node House), near the Black Moon; in trine with Saturn in Taurus (10th Moon-Node House).

A stellar occultation occurred in January 2007 and September 2008.

It has the following orbital resonances:

Semi-major axis:
  • 1:1 with Hygiea (99.7)
  • 10:13 with Eunomia (99.9)
  • 1:1 with Euphrosyne (99.7)

Perihelion:

  • 3:2 with Jupiter (%100.0)


Geographical place

Palma is a port city located on the Island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain).

In the 18th century the city recovered the name 'Palma', whose origin is Roman (1st century BC), after the Muslim period ('Madina Mayurqa', from the 10th century) and the Catalan period ('Ciutat de Mallorca', from the 13th century). 

The asteroid (372) Palma was discovered by Auguste Charlois at the end of the 19th century in Nice (France).


The asteroid Palma is related with the ability to communicate in situations where it is difficult for other person to be able to understand us and it is necessary to make an effort to believe that the other person really can do it if we propose it.

In this way, the asteroid Palma has the ability to explain technical or scientific concepts in a simple and easy way to understand by people without specific training in these fields; or to communicate with foreign people, who do not know the local language well, using a very basic vocabulary.

Paula Patton, actress of the movie "Deja Vu" (2006), has Palma in Sagittarius (12th Moon-Node House), in conjunction with Mercury --which is in conjunction with the Sun, which is in conjunction with Neptune--; and in square with Pallas in Pisces (9th Moon-Node House).

Denzel Washington, actor of the movie "Deja Vu" (2006), has Palma in Aquarius (11th Moon-Node House), near the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Sign Horoscope).

Asghar Farhadi, Iranian, screenwriter and director of the movie "Todos lo saben" (2018) --shot in Spanish-- has Palma in Aries (10th Moon-Node House), in opposition to Juno; and in trine with Neptune in Sagittarius (2nd Moon-Node House).
