HELLO & WELCOME to another episode of Primordial Threads! This week we are thrilled to welcome Ell the Asteroid Astrologer (known in the twittersphere as @stellarsanctum) on for a discussion about using asteroids not only in astrology, but in synastry as well! Join us for a revelatory exploration of the stories hidden not only in the stars, but in the corners of our very own charts.

Ell is an astrological force to be reckoned with, pioneering the relatively modern practice of asteroid astrology alongside practitioners such as Empress Atlantis & Michael J. Morris. This Aquarius sun, Scorpio moon, Leo rising describes herself as a “student of the stars; Maiden of magick, alchemy and anarchy,” and will simply not “settle for anything less than total embodiment of inner agency and free will.” This perspective of radical agency permeates all they do, from providing deeply reflective workshops & readings to their recently released Approaching the Asteroids Guidebook, which makes asteroid astrology accessible for all curious practitioners.
An excerpt from Ell’s website:
“One of my deepest fascinations lies with mythology and the archetypal wisdom these ancient tales have to offer. This, combined with a sentiment for childhood and all of it’s psychological residue, has brought me into practice with the asteroids in astrology.
Through my exploration of the asteroids (which tend to be named after key figures in mythology) it has been revealed to me just how connected we are to these stories.
As often is the case, this alignment we have with archetypal energy can be somewhat unconscious in nature. It’s as if we are being driven by an invisible force, playing out stories that have been played out time and time again by humans, as portrayed by the gods and goddesses in mythology. Mythology is, after all, simply a collection of stories constructed with the purpose of conveying these very fundamental aspects of the human psyche.”
