Sappho in Scorpio in the 8th house? Asks the lesbian :)

I'm amused to find Sappho in my 8th house in Scorpio. I know not all asteroids are very significant, but is Sappho?

I'm of course well aware that not all women with aspects to Sappho or Sappho in the 8th/Scorpio will be gay (!), but if anyone has any take on this or can offer any insight into the significance of this configuration and/or Sappho's importance in general, I'm all ears (or eyes)

My question would be: who named the asteroid and why?

I'm not sure but here is an article about this asteroid and female love for women: http://mysticmedusa.com/2011/11/a-girl-like-sappho/

P.s. sappho in my chart aspects my moon and venus.

I am shocked! It is conjunct Venus at one degree orb! I'm only into women now but with this Gemini vibe maybe I'll be with men someday? It makes all the aspects that Venus makes. It is part of a Grand Cross, it's been very hard to accept this part of myself. The only harmonious aspect is with Pluto and it's been a "transforming" thing for me.
Do you know other "very interesting" asteroids to check? I was definitely surprised to see that "this" is written in my chart and it so accurate!

Interesting no?

I don't know of other asteroids specifically pertaining to bi/homosexuality (though there are many sexual asteroids).

Want to post your chart? I've been thinking a lot lately about astrological indicators for homosexuality (there's a thread on it here too: http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10735&highlight=homosexuality)

I seem to have a number of these indicators, so it's quite a learning curve for me!

Here it is. It is in the albums also.
