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).
