Thank you for your kindness, compliments and your condolence. You are sweet.
I agree, ModCleopatra, that the richness of the myths must be fully explored to gain a deeper understanding of the asteroid's function and meaning. But the Fates are just one of those mythological anomalies that's only briefly mentioned or discussed - their functions are never explored in depth. But their roles are definitely clear-cut. Clotho spins the thread, Lakhesis measures the thread and Atropos cuts the thread of each individual life. So, I believe that astrological Atropos is just as simple as our understanding of the mythological Atropos as well.
I do not have any references in use of this, but I am an avid reader of mythology - been so since I was 12 or 13 - and of astrology (since 18 as mentioned b4). However, I've had a natural attraction to the stars and the moon ever since I was a child. My grandfather would bring over his telescope and show us all the planets and stars that were visible at various times of year. He also got us a regular subscription to Omni magazine so we could keep up with the movements of the stars and planets. When I was barely able to speak or read, my aunts took me to breakfast at IHOP one morning after church and I threw a fit over this Starscroll that I wanted. They finally let me have it and I pulled my sign out immediately - Gemini. My aunts looked at each other in amazement. They read the thing laughing on the way home, I don't remember what they said. But both of them still talk about it to this day. One of these aunts is also the one that told me when I was little that "The Moon is always watching you with her changing look." I very much rely on my well-sought-out astrology books, intelligence, knowledge, experience and intuition when it comes to the asteroids.

1. She's entitled to her opinions.
2. However entitled though - we must understand one essential thing. That everything is connected. Nothing is separate or left without a string. From the stuff that keeps the earth together to human relationships to ideas on abundance to the very particles that make up the universe. To think otherwise is foolish and only keeps everyone at odds and at war. If we saw each other more as family than foes, we wouldn't need to be so judgmental or cruel to strangers who we speak to through computers.
