When everything suddenly matters
An extra marker, another aspect, a name with a beautiful story: it is easy to keep zooming into a chart. Eventually almost any thought can find a matching symbol. That is when I become cautious.
Not because asteroids are inherently uninteresting, but because an interpretation that can explain everything hardly lets us see what actually made the difference.
The structure first, the details later
I would start with the Sun, Moon, ascendant and prominent planetary connections. Only then would I add individual bodies, with a question already in mind. In a symbolic reading, Ceres might direct attention towards care; Juno towards ideas about commitment. These are interpretive traditions, not demonstrated properties of those celestial bodies.
A close contact with a personal factor would interest me more than ten loose connections. “Close” should be defined beforehand, not when a story happens to sound good.
A small countercheck
Hide the additional body for a moment. Does the essential interpretation remain? Perhaps it adds a nuance. If the entire reading collapses, I would reconsider the weight I gave it.
And one terminology trap: the commonly intended Black Moon Lilith is a calculated point, not an asteroid. There is also an asteroid named Lilith. A familiar name does not replace checking what the calculator actually displays.
