Madonna (2144 words)
In fact, the concept of beginnings are changing too, and a connection between the births of Eva Peron, Madonna, her daughter Lola, and the astronomers calculating asteroid orbits and naming them is not as far fetched now as it used to be.
Shortly before Eva Peron's death in 1952, Argentine astronomer Miguel Itzigsohn's admiration for the social and humanitarian activities of Evita, as she was called, moved him to name all five asteroids in her honor.
Whatever vibrational energy inspired Itzigsohn to name those asteroids for Evita, was apparently transferred to Madonna at her birth when those same asteroids were directly overhead.
