Asteroid 8992 Magnanimity was discovered on October 14, 1980 at Purple Mountain Observatory near Nanjing(Nanking), Jiangsu, China. It has a period of 3 years, 253 days. Credit for the asteroid's discovery has been assigned to the observatory.
The asteroid gets its name from the generosity shown by the world toward the victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
Astrologically, Magnanimity indicates magnanimity, generosity, being blessed or benefited materially or spiritually.
Mother Teresa had Magnanimity prominent—conjunct the Moon, in the sixth house; and also trine the Midheaven and Mercury and square the Sun, Chiron, Pallas and Juno. Albert Schweitzer had Magnanimity sextile Jupiter and Ceres, trine Neptune, Pallas and the Vertex, square Vesta, and sesquiquadrate Chiron and the Part of Fortune.
Britney Spears has Magnanimity quincunx Venus(singing, beauty), sextile Neptune(music, dance) and sextile Pluto and Ceres. Tori Spelling, whose father, TV producer Aaron Spelling has been instrumental in developing her career(some might say essential), and who has been chronically unlucky in relationships, has Magnanimity in the third house, opposite Pallas, sextile Mars and Vesta, semisquare Saturn, quindecile Uranus, square the Part of Fortune and sesquiquadrate Juno and the Part of Fortune.
Bill Gates, America's richest citizen, has Magnanimity in the second house, square the Sun, trine the Moon, sextile Mars, semisquare the East Point, and sesquiquadrate the East Point.
The glyph for Magnanimity is my own conception; I was inspired by the legend of St. Nicholas(not Santa Claus, but the third-century saint he's based on) throwing bags of money through the poor aristocrat's window so he could pay for his daughters' weddings.
