Antikleia

Asteroid 651, Antikleia, was discovered on October 4, 1907 by August Kopff at Heidelberg, Germany. It has a period of 5 years, 95 days and is a little less than 24 2/3 miles in diameter.

It was named for Antikleia, the queen of the western Greek island of Ithaca, wife of Laertes and mother of Odysseus in Greek mythology. She died from missing her son during the Trojan War.

Astrologically, Antikleia seems to indicate dealing with loss, bereavement or being deprived of something.

Cheyenne Brando, who suffered from mental illness and killed herself after her brother Christian acted on her false statements and killed her boyfriend, had Antikleia conjunct Venus, trine Jupiter, and quincunx Uranus.

Christian Brando has Antikleia in the second house, sextile Jupiter and Chiron, sesquiquadrate Uranus, and opposite Uranus.

Lori Berenson, who spent many years in a Peruvian prison for allegedly aiding Peru's Shining Path terrorist movement, has Antikleia sextile Neptune.

Tina Turner has Antikleia in the eleventh house, sextile Ceres and the Midheaven.

Andrei Sakharov, who spent years in internal exile in Soviet Russia for opposing the Soviet regime, had Antikleia sesquiquadrate Ceres and Vesta.

Argentinian journalist and political prisoner Jacobo Timerman had Antikleia conjunct Uranus and trine Pluto.
