Nemesis
Nemesis, an asteroid named for the goddess of retribution and balance, is read in modern astrology as the asteroid of retribution and the restoring of balance, the comeuppance that follows excess or hubris, and the leveling of what has grown out of proportion. Read Nemesis by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Nemesis's theme of retribution, balance, and comeuppance where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Nemesis as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
