Asteroid 17627, Humptydumpty, was discovered 1996 January 27, 1996 by Takeshi Urata at the Oohira unit of Nihondaira Observatory near Shimizu, Shizuoka, Japan. Its period is 5 years, 258 days. Humptydumpty was named for a character in a well-known English nursery rhyme, who is also a character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland: Humpty Dumpty. This egg-shaped creature tells Alice a lot about the meaning of words, including the strange ones in the poem "Jabberwocky".
The nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" goes:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Humpty Dumpty
This seems to describe the astrological meaning of asteroid Humptydumpty quite well: irretrievable change.
Julie Andrews, whose magnificent singing voice was silenced by botched surgery to remove vocal-chord nodes, has Humptydumpty in the fourth house, on the IC, and consequently opposite the Midheaven.
Joseph McCarthy, whose brand of dirty politics is a shameful chapter in American history, had Humptydumpty in the twelfth house of secrets and investigations, quintile Pluto (tyranny, transformation, power lust, mass movements, terror, investigations); square Uranus (liberalism); and opposite Venus (values, indignation, getting along). McCarthy did more to harm the cause of anti-communism, as triumphant as it eventually was, than the Soviet propaganda machine ever did.
O.J. Simpson has Humptydumpty in the sixth house, conjunct 1992 QB1 (ordeals, to bear witness). He once had a thriving career as an actor, broadcaster and commercial endorser and his employment prospects are now virtually nonexistent.
Harvey Milk, a former San Francisco camera-shop owner who became the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in America when he won election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1978, had Humptydumpty in the twelfth house of secrets, sextile Uranus, biquintile Ceres, and opposite Vesta.
The glyph for Humptydumpty is mine.
