alice (asteroid 291)

Alice is the main character of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. She is a young girl from a rich Victorian English family, who finds herself accidentally or perhaps on purpose in Wonderland. It is Alice's curiosity and wish to understand the world around her no matter how complex or confusing it is. Her manners remain true despite Wonderland's lackluster etiquette (or lack thereof); though it is her manners that Wonderland seems to target as it aims to teach her individuality and how to speak up for what she believes and wants most. Wonderland forces Alice to question everything she knows about the world and even herself. IN MY OPINION Alice in your chart can represent a) where you experience curiosity, b) where you experience a lot of self growth, c) where you tend to be very naive and are forced to mature, and/or d) where you are most resilient.

The Jubjub Bird is a mysterious yet dangerous creature from Lewis Carroll's literary universe, appearing in a couple of his works. While not as famous as the Jabberwock, it is equally unsettling. It's described as "frumious" (furious & fuming) in "Jabberwocky", suggesting it is both aggressive and temperamental.

Lewis Carroll - who's name was actually Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - was an English writer, mathematician, and logician. He is best known for his iconic works in the genre of nonsense literature: Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, etc. These works help to redefine children literature - it doesn't have to just be imaginative, it could also be thought provoking.

He himself is jittery and unpredictable, often speaking or acting in sudden outbursts. He frequently interrupts and dismisses Alice, which reflects Wonderland's lack of conventional manners which Alice has. His often pointless conversations and refusal to follow logic are meant to be satire of Victorian society's rigid thinking and meaningless social rituals.

mockturtle (asteroid 8889)

The Mock Turtle is another character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. He is described as a depressive creature who constantly reminisces about his past and weeps for no understandable reason. I believe Carroll is mocking (excuse my pun) the Victorian tendency to be overly sentimental.

IN MY OPINION Mockturtle in your chart can represent a) where you tend to be reminiscent for no real reason at all, b) where your memory can fail you, and/or c) how your personal stories can be unreliable.

tweedledee (asteroid 9387)

Tweedledee and Tweedledum are portrayed as nearly identical in appearance, speech, and behavior. Lewis Carroll does not give them distinct personalities, and they mostly function as a unit, finishing each other’s thoughts and acting in unison. However, there are some subtle differences that emerge over time. Tweedledee is sometimes portrayed as the slightly kinder or calmer of the two. Tweedledee is often ever so slightly more excitable.

tweedledum (asteroid 17681)

Tweedledee's twin, Tweedledum, is slightly more aggressive as he is the one who typically declares they must battle... Though they never actually fight because they get distracted.

IN MY OPINION Tweedledum in your chart can represent a) where you might struggle for individuality, b) where your aggression and argumentativeness overshadows other's, and/or c) where being impulsive presents you with new opportunities.

whiterabbit (asteroid 17942)

The White Rabbit is a key character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

IN MY OPINION Whiterabbit in your chart can represent a) anxiety energy in your life, b) where you are constantly stressed about time, and/or c) where you catch the attention of many people (got to remember the white rabbit is also the Queen of Heart's herald).
