Historical character

The asteroid (532) Herculina was discovered by Max Wolf (1863-1932), whose father strove to inculcate interest in science, building a small observatory in the garden of his family home. After completing his postgraduate studies, he accepted a teaching post at Heidelberg University, rejecting positions at other institutions for several years. He participated actively in the supervision of the construction of the observatory Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl, where he worked as a director, once inaugurated and until his death.

(532) Herculina is related to education and teaching (11:8 resonance with Cybele). It has the capacity to transmit patterns of behavior and norms of coexistence to children, like in the movie "Superman" (1978); or procedures and company policy to workers who have just joined into the company, like in the movie "Unstoppable" (2010).

"Unstoppable" (2010)

Cesar Millán, canine trainer and instructor in the TV series "The Dog Whisperer" (2004), has Herculina in Sagittarius and in the 4th Moon-Node House, in conjunction with Mars and the Great Attractor.

Greek mythology

Dike was the goddess of moral justice, as the basis of orderly and legitimate family. 

(99) Dike is related with correct relationships between the different members of a family and between each of them with the social outside.

Stephenie Meyer, author of the books of the saga "Twilight" (2005-2008), has Dike in Pisces (10th-11th Moon-Node Houses) in trine with Saturn in cancer (6th-7th Moon-Node Houses), and in sextile with the Sun and the Moon in capricorio (12th-1st Moon-Node Houses), which are in trine with Mars in Taurus (8th-9th Moon-Node Houses).

Kristen Stewart, actress of the saga of movies "Twilight" (2008-2012) has Dike in Sagittarius (10th-11th Moon-Node Houses) in trine with the Sun in Aries (2nd-3rd Moon-Node Houses).   

Chris Noth, actor of the movies "The Perfect Man" (2005) and the TV series "The Good Wife" (2009), has Dike in Libra (4th Moon-Node House) in septile with the Venus-Ceres conjunction. The beginning of the filming of "The Good Wife" (2009) clashed with the opposition in the Moon-Node Horoscope between the Age Progression and Dike.

(96189) Pygmalion, the touching moments of 'Venus in square'

Greek mythology

For a long time, Pygmalion, King of Cyprus, was searching, without finding her, a woman whose beauty corresponded to his ideal of woman. In the end, he decided to build a statue that reflected those ideals of beauty.

Pygmalion eventually fell in love with the statue, which he called Galatea. Thanks to Aphrodite, one night he dreamed that Galatea had came to life. And when he woke up, Pygmalion met Aphrodite, who was very touched and said: "You deserve that happiness, the one you have made. Here you have the queen you have been looking for. Love her and defend her".

The discovery of (96189) Pygmalion clashed with the release of the movie "The Beauty and the Beast" (Disney, 1991).

(96189) Pygmalion is related with the touching moments of dramatic tension, typical of 'Venus in square', in which the solution for love demands to take the most difficult path.

"Prince of Persia - Sands of Time" (2010)

The effort to overcome the resistances of the situation, leads to decisive actions that consolidate the love relationship (1:4 resonance with Venus), like in the romantic novels of Nicholas Sparks: "The Notebook" (1996) , "Message in a Bottle" (1998), "A Walk to Remember" (1999), "Nights in Rodanthe" (2002), "Dear John" (2006), "The Choice" (2008), "The Last Song" (2009), "Safe Heaven" (2010), "The Best of Me" (2011) and "The Longest Ride" (2013).

"Safe Heaven" (2013)

Nicholas Spark, author of romantic novels, has Pygmalion in Gemini and in the 12th Moon-Node House, near Jupiter; in square with Uranus-Pluto in Virgo and the 9th Moon-Node House; In square with Quiron and Sylvia in Pisces and in the 3rd Moon-Node House; And near the opposition with Mercury in Sagittarius and in the 6th Moon-Node House.

It has a diameter of about 61 km.

Phthometric observations were carried out in the year 2010.

Geographical place

The town Phocea (name derived from the word 'seal') was founded in the 8th century by Greek settlers in present-day Turkey. Thanks to its ports, it developed an important maritime economy along the western Mediterranean (Masalia, Nice, Tartessos, Ampurias, Alalia, Corsica and Velia). 

The asteroid Phocae is related with all kinds of techniques of food preservation.

In ancient times, the most common were by dehydration, such as drying in the sun, adding salt, sugar or smoke; modifying the pH by adding vinegar; or, through fermentation, like the manufacture of cheeses made from milk.

During the discovery of the asteroid Phocaea, sterilization techniques were invented, such as Pasteurization; and subsequently refrigeration, freezing, vacuum packaging or in a protected atmosphere, and the addition of chemical preservatives.
