4946 Askalaphus is a Trojan asteroid associated with Jupiter. It was discovered on January 21, 1988, at Palomar Observatory near Pauma Valley, California by Carolyn S. Shoemaker and Eugene M. Shoemaker 1. The asteroid is named after a son of the war-god Ares who went to fight the Trojans 1.
In astrology, Askalaphus seems to have to do with the ability to be silent or discreet, being indiscreet, informing, making trouble, bringing about transformations, being looked upon with dismay, apprehension or revulsion, and also medical attention and things pertaining to doctors or medicine 1. Health-care workers are required to keep their dealings with their patients confidential, and medical records—psychiatric records in particular—are very sensitive. Informants are valuable law-enforcement tools, but basically nobody likes a “rat,” unless by informing you save lives (by preventing a school shooting or a terrorist attack, for instance) 1.
