Doris
Doris, an asteroid named for the sea-nymph mother of the Nereids, her name meaning bounty, is read in modern astrology as the asteroid of the bounty and generosity of the waters, fertility and the mothering of many, and the abundance that flows and is shared. Read Doris by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Doris's theme of the bounty of the waters and the mother of many where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Doris as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
