Lachesis
Lachesis, an asteroid named for the Fate who measures the thread of life, is read in modern astrology as the asteroid of the measuring and allotment of the thread of life, the span and duration given to things, and the sense of how long and how much. Read Lachesis by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Lachesis's theme of the measure, span, and allotment of things where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Lachesis as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
