Not only is its orbit highly elliptical, but it is tilted 44.187 degrees relative to the plane of the solar system. Pluto's orbit is only inclined 17 degrees.

How big is it? The latest size estimate, as of February 2006, is a diameter of 3000 km. To put that in perspective, our Moon is 3500 km, Pluto is 2300 km, and Pluto's moon Charon only 1200 km.

It takes 557 years for the newly-discovered body to orbit the Sun. Right now, it is on the far side of the Solar System, not too far from its farthest point from the Sun.

On September 10, 2005, astronomers discovered that Eris has a moon, and this was provisionally designated S/2005 (2003 UB313). Some mouthful to say! So, since they nicknamed the main body Xena, they decided to nickname its companion Gabrielle (after the TV warrior's constant companion.)

Here is an excellent website for (mostly) astronomical information and updates on 136199: ERIS

MYTHOLOGY

The goddess Hesiod describes who 'fosters evil war and battle' is described as being the sister of Ares (Mars, to the Romans), with Zeus (Jupiter) and Hera (Ceres) as her parents.

Eris, as daughter of Nyx, has some quite interesting siblings, although the list varies depending upon the author.

And Eris herself has been listed of the mother of several other interesting beings, called the Kakodaimones, who were the evil spirits which plagued mankind. The moon of the body Eris has been named after the one listed in bold in the following paragraph from Hesiod:

There are many stories of Eris in literature, but probably the most famous took place at the marriage of Peleus to Thetis. Eris was not invited to the wedding. (Would you invite Strife to your wedding?) When she found out that she had been snubbed, but Hera (Juno), Athena (Pallas), and Aphrodite (Venus) had been sent invitations (by Chiron, in fact), but she had not been invited, she was enraged, and sought revenge. She decided to go to the wedding anyway. Colluthus wrote:

Zeus saw the quarrel heating up, and called to Hermes (Mercury) to give escort the goddesses to a shepherd named Paris, and instruct him to give the apple to the goddess he saw as the most beautiful. In this way, he sought to resolve the argument. (Some say that Zeus knew what would happen, and planned the whole thing.)

When Paris was told of his honor by Hermes, each of the goddesses tried to sway his decision by offering him a gift. (Bribing the judge?) Hera said if she were chosen fairest of all women, she would make him king of all men; Athena promised him victory in war; and Aphrodite promised him Helene in marriage.

Paris chose Aphrodite, for Helene was one of the most beautiful, desirable of all women. With Aphrodite's aid Paris seduced queen Helene and abducted her to Troy, and this led to the Trojan War.

There are many, many stories of Eris accompanying her brother Ares onto the battlefield. She is often described as having an insatiable desire for bloodshed. Even after all the other gods had withdrawn from battle, she remained, rejoicing over the slaughter.

But she was also mentioned as responsible for other 'battles.' On more than one occasion, for example, she is listed as the cause of marital strife.

Aesop retold one of the Eris stories which may indeed show us one aspect of Eris' meaning to us:

And yet, with all of this, there is another side to Eris. As Hesiod wrote:

The ancient astrologers associated war, as well as healthy competition, with the 7th house, and the 7th sign (Libra). Could Eris, therefore, be associated with Libra?

MODERN MYTHOLOGY

What is the Discordian view of Eris? For that, I'd like to quote from their 'bible', the Principia Discordia:

"...It was not until they traced the Greek writing on the apple that they discovered the ancient Goddess known to the Greeks as Eris and to the Romans as Discordia. This was on the fifth night, and when they slept that night each had a vivid dream of a splendid woman whose eyes were as soft as feather and as deep as eternity itself, and whose body was the spectacular dance of atoms and universes. Pyrotechnics of pure energy formed her flowing hair, and rainbows manifested and dissolved as she spoke in a warm and gentle voice:

"I have come to tell you that you are free. Many ages ago, My consciousness left man, that he might develop himself. I return to find this development approaching completion, but hindered by fear and by misunderstanding.

"You have built for yourselves psychic suits of armor, and clad in them, your vision is restricted, your movements are clumsy and painful, your skin is bruised, and your spirit is broiled in the sun.

"I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free.""

ASTROLOGY

It was at its furthest point from the Sun (aphelion) on March 16, 1977, at 13 Aries 36. (1977 was an interesting year. Six days earlier, rings were discovered around the planet Uranus, shaking up our reality, letting us know Saturn wasn't the only ringed planet. And later in the year, November 1, Chiron was discovered, right between Saturn and Uranus.)

Going back in time, it was closest to the Sun (perihelion) on July 7, 1699, at 8 Libra 53. A planet's perihelion is, in many ways, the beginning of its orbital cycle. What shift took place int he world at the end of the 17th Century, as we entered into the 18th Century? Why have some called the 1700's "The Age of Reason and Change"? Could this be related to the perihelion in Libra, sign of the scales of balance, fairness, law and justice?

Obviously, it is way too soon to list meanings for this planet, but it is not too soon to begin studying it astrologically. Here are a few significant positions for Eris:
Discovery position: 19 Aries 45 R
Position when announced to the world: 21 Aries 05 R

The dialectic is a branch of logic in the art of reasoning and\or disputing. Through the use of it Socrates would lead his adversary to make clear his position on the subject, then, often with the introduction of an absolutely contrary theory, the discussion would end with an admission, on the other side, of an inaccuracy. It was employed to set one theory in opposition with another, and thus to develop a subject in a comprehensive manner. First an idea (a Thesis) was thrown up against another theory (an Antithesis); from this, it was thought, one would advance to a third stage, and the truth would emerge. Often, - though not necessarily - there would come about a combination of both the ideas (a synthesis). From this process, it is thought, one would arrive at the truth of a proposition; this is not to be confused with a negotiation process whereby, usually, a compromise is wrought out.

Henry Alphern wrote (in An Outline History of Philosophy):

Hesiod wrote that there were two different Eris goddesses. One of them, the daugher of Nyx (Night) stirred up healthy competiton. Think about the last good, stirring debate you watched. A discussion involving opposing viewpoints, first one side, then the other, at times perhaps getting quite heated. Didn't you come away mentally stimulated, perhaps with your own thoughts galvanized?

Competition comes from the Latin word competere, which means: to strive together, to coincide. The very basis of healthy competition is not to create enmity, but to strive together to come up with something better than existed previously. In a healthy competition, everyone benefits, no matter whoo wins.

President William McKinley was an indefatigable campaigner. He helped rebuild the Republican Party in 1896 by rejecting divisive ethnic issues and promoting pluralism--whereby every group in the nation would prosper and none would be singled out for attack. He once wrote:

He was born on January 29, 1843, with Mercury approximately 27 Aquarius 18, closely conjunct Eris at 27 Aquarius 53.

Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey had a mind that quickly grasped complicated issues. He was instrumental in merging two opposing political parties (the Democratic and the Farmer-Labor party), and with their combined backing he was elected Mayor of Minneapolis. He gained a national reputation by his strong stand for civil rights. In fact, in one of the most renowned speeches in American political history, Humphrey told the 1948 Democratic National Convention: "To those who say, my friends, to those who say, that we are rushing this issue of civil rights, I say to them we are 172 years too late! To those who say, this civil rights program is an infringement on states' rights, I say this: the time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights!" Humphrey and his allies succeeded; the pro-civil-rights plank was narrowly adopted. But not without causing strife! As a result of the Convention's vote, the Mississippi and one half of the Alabama delegation walked out of the hall. Many Southern Democrats were so enraged that they formed the "Dixiecrat" party and nominated their own presidential candidate.

He once wrote:

Humphrey was born May 27, 1911. This gave him a Mars (25 Pisces 19) conjunct Eris (26 Pisces 39), both square Pluto (26 Gemini 53.)

• Research in history should reflect an interesting transition from 1922-1927. Eris was straddling the cusp between Pisces and Aries that whole period:
  
  • Enters Aries June 3, 1922
  • Retrogrades back into Pisces July 21, 1922
  • Enters Aries April 27, 1923
  • Retrogrades back into Pisces August 28, 1923
  • Enters Aries April 1, 1924
  • Retrogrades back into Pisces September 24, 1924
  • Enters Aries March 9, 1925
  • Retrogrades back into Pisces October 22, 1925
  • Enters Aries February 12, 1926
  • Retrogrades back into Pisces December 5, 1926
  • Enters Aries January 1, 1927 (where it still is to this day)
• Look especially to 1924 & 1925, when the Spring Equinox occurred only hours away from the Sun/Eris conjunction.
  
  • 1924: Only a few days after the conjunction in 1924, Greece proclaims itself a Republic. Less than a week after that, Adolf Hitler was sentenced to five years in jail for his participation in the Beer Hall Putsch.
  • 1925: Shortly before the conjunction, a law was passed in Tennessee that, in effect, forbade the teaching of evolution in schools, or "any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible." This sparked a major furor, putting on trial a teacher (John T. Scopes) in what was to become one of the most famous trials in history. William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow locked horns in what has become known as the Scopes Monkey Trial.

  ERIS ASPECTING MAJOR PLANETS

  Of course, not only Eris/Sun conjunctions should be significant, but any major aspect between a planet and this body.

  ERIS AND PLUTO

  My first thought was to look for a conjunction between Eris and Pluto, since they are both long-range influences. But I couldn't find one during the whole 20th Century, or even the 19th. Since 1700, these two bodies have only had one conjuction, on December 16, 1756 (at 18 Sagittarius 33.) I've disovered that a remarkable artist was born while these two bodies were only about a degree apart, and invite you to read look at the chart of William Blake.

  Due to the the extreme eccentricities of these two planets, other aspects between them are rare as well. The only times the two planets were in exact opposition between 1700 and the present were in the 20th Century. (The first position in the list is that of Pluto, the second, Eris):

  • Nov 20, 1976 - 13 Lib 17 to 13 Ari 17
  • Mar 7, 1977 - 13 Lib 31 to 13 Ari 31
  • Oct 4, 1977 - 13 Lib 58 to 13 Ari 58
  • May 10, 1978 - 14 Lib 26 to 14 Ari 26
  • Aug 15, 1978 - 14 Lib 38 to 14 Ari 38

  Three major discoveries in astronomy were made during this period which forever changed our picture of the solar system. All three of these discoveries would have a Pluto/Eris opposition in their charts.:

  • March 10, 1977, Uranus was discovered to have rings. Up until that time, Saturn was the only planet thought to have rings.
  • Nov 1, 1977, Chiron was discovered. Nothing of note was thought to be in that part of the system, and it opened up a whole new category of bodies called Centaurs.
  • July 2, 1978, Pluto was discovered to have a moon, which was named Charon. This discovery led to the conclusion that Pluto was much smaller than previously supposed.

  And the only times they were square since 1700 were also in the 20th Century:

  Sep 20, 1907	-	24 Gem 48 to 24 Pis 48
  Nov 24, 1907	-	24 Gem 13 to 24 Pis 13
  Aug 14, 1908	-	25 Gem 31 to 25 Pis 31
  Jan 1, 1909	-	24 Gem 32 to 24 Pis 32
  Jul 17, 1909	-	26 Gem 02 to 26 Pis 02
  Feb 2, 1910	-	25 Gem 05 to 25 Pis 05
  Jun 19, 1910	-	26 Gem 25 to 26 Pis 25
  Mar 16, 1911	-	25 Gem 54 to 25 Pis 54
  Oct 5, 1911	-	26 Gem 32 to 26 Pis 32

  This grouping is especially intriguing because the Galactic Center during this period was 25 Sag 34 to 25 Sag 37, with Pluto opposing it (unlike now when Pluto is conjunct the GC) and Eris squaring it.

  ERIS AND OTHER PLANETS

  Eris conjunct Mercury should shape a person's manner of speaking, and thinking; Eris conjunct Mars should shape a person's method of attacking problems, etc. Here are all the conjunctions (1900-2006) of Eris to the major planets plus Chiron. (Note: there were no Neptune or Pluto conjunctions during this period.) Do you know anyone born on or near any of these dates?

  ERIS CONJUNCT MARS AND SATURN

  On March 2, 1968, there was an exact Mars/Saturn/Eris conjunction at 11 Aries 17. If Eris does have a major astrological influence, one would expect some very intense news stories at this time:
  • On March 2, 1968, the men of Company C, 4th Batalion, 9th Infantry "Manchus" walked into what was to become one of the worst single encounter loss of life incidents in the history of the Vietnam war. Their loss occurred during an ambush by a large communist force near the small village of Quoi Xuan.
    
  • Two weeks later, the Mỹ Lai Massacre occurred in Vietnam. This was a massacre by U.S. soldiers of hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children. It prompted widespread outrage around the world and reduced public support for the war in the United States.
    
  • Perhaps April 4 is too far to be considered part of this conjunction, but James Earl Ray's shooting of Dr. Martin Luther King may tie in to this aspect. James began plotting his crime some time before, including making arrangements in advance to rent a room where he would get a good shot at Dr. King.
    
  • The Polish 1968 political crisis reached a head in March, and involved a state-organized anti-Semitic campaign in the People's Republic of Poland, under pretense of anti-Zionism, that drove out most of Poland's remaining Jewish population.
  • Recently taking over the reigns of power in Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek set out to reform all aspects of life in the country. The government platform criticized the policies of the past, proclaimed the legitimacy of basic human rights and liberties in Czechoslovakia, and objected to the persecution of people for their political convictions. This led to the people seeking more and more reforms, more freedoms, and came to be known as the "Prague Spring." The Soviet Union, however, saw all this as a threat, and tried to reign in Czechoslovakia and put and end to this break from the party line. When they could not stop what was occurring, they eventually invaded Czechoslovakia to reassert control.

  Also, born on that date is British actor Daniel Craig, who will be the latest James Bond.
  "A commanding, powerful actor. Seen back to back, his film roles show off an extraordinary range, and an exceptional grasp of rawness and complication." Gaby Wood, The Observer

  ERIS CONJUNCT JUPITER AND URANUS

  On January 25, 1928, there was an exact Jupiter/Uranus/Eris conjunction at 0 Aries 25. While there is a Jupiter/Uranus conjunction every 13-14 years, this would have been the first time all three of these bodies were conjunct for many hundreds of years. So whatever Eris represents, it should have been very represented in events around this time period, as well as in the lives of people born during this conjunction.

  Some interesting people were born on or near this date. What we need to do is try to figure out how the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in their charts was modified (if it was modified) by the added presence of Eris. Here are the people I have found so far born at this time.

  January 23, 1928: Jeanne Moreau. French actress (Going Places, Jules & Jim) and successful recording artist; considered by Orson Welles as "the greatest actress in the world"; a close friend of major literary figures, like Jean Cocteau, Jean Genet, Henry Miller, Anais Nin and Marguerite Duras; became world famous, when she starred in Louis Malle's controversial hit Amants, Les (1958), as a provincial wife who abandons her family for a man she has just met; the film had a lot of censorship problems all over the world because of its erotic scenes and Moreau instantly became an international sex symbol; n 1948, when she was only 20 years old, she became the youngest full-time member in the history of Comédie Française, France's most prestigious theatrical company.
  Quotes: "I am open to what is irrational. I open doors to intuition, because rationality is really death."
  "I am a woman with absolutely no sense of nostalgia"
  "While you work, while you create, you have doubts, and this is essential."

  January 24, 1928: Desmond Morris. English zoologist, ethologist, Surrealist painter, author of many books but the most controversial is probably "The Naked Ape" (n unabashed look at the human species. The book is notable for its focus on humanity's animal-like qualities and our similarity with apes.). Official website: www.desmond-morris.com/
  Quotes: "This unusual and highly successful species spends a great deal of time examining his higher motives and an equal amount of time ignoring his fundamental ones."
  "There are 193 species of monkeys and apes, 192 of them are covered with hair. The exception is a naked ape self-named Homo sapiens."
  "We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species."

  January 25, 1928: Eduard Shevardnadze. He served under Mikhail Gorbachev as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1990 and was the President of Georgia from 1995 until 23 November 2003, when he resigned in the midst of mounting criticism following disputed parliamentary elections. His political career was filled with contradictions. He was a product of the Soviet system, but played a central role in dismantling that system. He built his reputation on fighting political corruption, but came to be seen as using corrupt methods to shore up his own position. He achieved worldwide renown as possibly the most liberal foreign minister in the history of the Soviet Union, but was never nearly as popular in his own country. He succeeded in maintaining Georgia's territorial integrity in the face of strong separatist pressures, but was unable to restore his government's authority in large areas of the country. He helped to establish a viable civil society in Georgia, but resorted to rigging elections to maintain his powerbase.
  Quotes: "You know, to address crowds and make promises does not require very much brains."
  "In my life I have always found ways of dealing with a situation."
  "To sum up, what has been our policy? We looked for and found friends all throughout the world."

  January 26, 1928: Eartha Kitt . American singer/actress. Perhaps most widely known for playing Catwoman in the old Batman TV show. She was born in the cotton fields of South Carolina, the daughter of a white dirt farmer and a black Cherokee mother. Given away by her mother, she arrived in Harlem at age nine, and at 15 she quit high school to work in a Brooklyn factory. As a teenager, Kitt lived in friends' homes and in the subways. By the 1950s, however, she had sung and danced her way out of poverty and into the spotlight. Orson Welles called her "the most exciting girl in the world". She was virtually exiled from the United States after making anti-war statements during a White House luncheon in 1968. The statements were so negative that Lady Bird Johnson began to weep uncontrollably.
  Quotes: The White House, 1968: "I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut. I have a baby and then you send him off to war. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot."
  "I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma."
  "My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions."

  Roger Vadim. French director of such movies as "And God Created Women" and "Barbarella". He tantalized audiences of the 1950s and 60s with some of the raciest films of the time. An auteur with an eye for sensuality, Vadim pushed the bounds of eroticism and used his movies to showcase some of the era's most striking starlets. In his own life, he was known for seducing, marrying or simply establishing the careers of his gorgeous leading ladies. In fact, one of his autobiographies is entitled "Bardot, Denueve, Fonda: My Life with the Three Most Beautiful Women in the World."
  Quotes: "The only thing I love in love is all the feelings, the imaginations, the orgasms of the woman. For this reason I'm not a good libertine."
  "You wouldn't ask Rodin to make an ugly sculpture, or me to make a film with an ugly woman."
  Talking about Brigette Bardot in "And God Created Women", and the scene of her dancing barefoot on a table (which remains one of the most erotic scenes in French cinema), "There was really nothing shocking in what Brigitte did, what was provocative was her natural sensuality."

  Gene Snyder, US House of Representative representing Kentucky (1963-65, and 1967-87).. He was not only a politician and graduate of law school, but also engaged in farming, real estate, insurance, and the residential construction business.

  Philip Jose Farmer. American science fiction novelist, is noteworthy for his Riverworld saga (in which dead notables like Mark Twain and British explorer Sir Robert Burton all pop back into existence in a strange land laid out along seemingly endless river), and his copious infusions of sexuality into a previously chaste genre. Farmer has authored roughly seventy-five books. His short piece entitled "Night of Light" sparked Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze". Phillip Jose Farmer is also noted for his fascination with trickster characters and his penchant for sly literary references and allusions. He has been described by some as the most anarchist of science fiction writers.
  Quotes: "Human beings are part of nature. Anything they do is natural. It's impossible for anything in nature to do anything unnatural."
  "If they give you lined paper, write the other way"

  January 27, 1928: Jean-Michel Damase. French composer, musician, music teacher and prodigy (began composing at age 9). chezdamase.tripod.com/biography.htm

  Let me know if you see any common threads. For example, Desmond Morris is, among other things, a noted Surrealist Painter, while Philip Jose Farmer creates a fictional world filled with real life historical figures, but in a very surreal setting, and Jeanne Moreau is a very big fan of 'irrationality'.
  Another example...most of these people seem to be talented in many different fields, rather than only one main focus.

  While the above may not be the Tenth Planet astrologers have been seeking for years, it is still an important astrological tool. And there are many other new tools in the astrology toolbox, as well. Here is a taste of the major new bodies out past Pluto. The next two are Dwarf Planets, like Eris:

  HAUMEA
  136108 (2003 EL61)

  Haumea was discovered December 28, 2004 by a team led by Michael Brown.

  On September 17, 2008,it was officially classified as a dwarf planet, and named Haumea after the Hawaiian goddess of fertility and childbirth. According to most accounts, she mated with the god Kane Milohai and gave birth to many children, including Hawaii's most famous goddess, Pele. Thus, she is often referred to as the mother of the Hawaiian people as well as the Great Earth Mother, and was the patron goddess of that island. Here is a page dedicated to the Hawaiin goddess: Haumea the Earth Mother. She has two moons, named after two of Haumea's daughters, Hi'iaka and Namaka.

  

  Michael Brown has a blog about Haumea's discovery and naming: Haumea blog

  (Interestingly, it had at first been given the nickname "Santa" because it was discovered just after Christmas.)

  Her orbit is 285 years, which is only a little more than that of Pluto, her eccentricity is 0.188 and her inclination is 28.19. It's discovery position is 12 Libra 27.

  Just what will Haumean tell us, astrologically? Obviously, we need to do a lot of research before we can answer that, but a good place to start might be its conjunctions with major planets.

  On June 18, 1903, Haumean was exactly conjunct Neptune at 3 Cancer 08. How did this aspect manifest in the lives of these totally unrelated individuals all born around that date: Jeanette MacDonald, Lou Gehrig, Al Hirschfield and John Dillinger.

  The mid-Fifties saw a 3-time Haumean/Pluto conjunction. The dates were September 30, 1954, 25 Leo 59; Feb 19 1955, 25 Leo 28 R; and July 1, 1955, 25 Leo 00.

  I know that the USS Nautilus was comissioned. This submarine was the first atomic powered vessel. Also during this period, the Viet Minh took over North Viet Nam, setting the stage for the war to come, President Eisenhower sends the first 'advisors' to South Viet Nam, and the US 7th Fleet helps the Nationalists evacuate Mainland China and go to Taiwan.

  What do these individuals have in common, born near these dates? Musician Stevie Ray Vaughan, Reverend Al Sharpton, actor Scott Bakula.

  On September 25, 1962, Uranus and Haumea met at 2 Virgo 49.

  A border conflict between India and China broke out which led to the Sino-Indian War, and civil war broke out in Yemen. The Environmentalist Movement arose in great part because of the book Rachel Carson published at this time, "Silent Spring". And James Meredith, the first black student to register at the Univ of Mississippi accompanied by Federal Marshals. (Oh, and the Beatles released their first single, "Love Me Do".)

  MAKEMAKE
  136472 (2005 FY9)

  Makemake is the third-largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System. It was discovered on March 31, 2005 by a team led by Michael Brown. In July 2008, it was officially classified as a Plutoid, which is a sub class of Dwarf Planets which have orits beyond Neptune, joining Pluto and Eris.

  Prior to its official naming, it had been lovingly nicknamed "Easterbunny", since it was found right before Easter. In officially naming it Makemake, the astronomers were kind of paying homage to the earlier nickname, because Makemake was the creator of humanity in the myths of the native people of Easter Island.

  Michael Brown has a blog about the discovery and naming of Makemake: What's In A Name

  Its orbital period is 310 years (compared to Pluto's 248 years). The eccentricity is 0.159, and the inclination is 28.96. It's discovery position is 20 Virgo 16 R

  The above symbol was based on traditional petroglyphs of the face of Makemake, and was designed by Denis Moskowitz in collaboration with John T Whelan.

  It is of course too early to define Makemake's astrological meanings, but a good place to start would be studying major aspects it has made.

  On July 1, 1955, Makemake was exactly conjunct Uranus at 26 Cancer 46, so events near that date should be colored by this aspect, and it should have some influence over people born around this time. How does it manifest in the lives of actress Isabelle Adjani, Novelist Lisa Scottoline, or actor Jimmy Smits, all born close to this date? And does Disneyland in any way reflect Makemake conjunct Uranus, since it officially opened very close to this aspect?

  SALACIA 120347 (2004 SB60)

  Salacia was discovered on September 22, 2004 by the team of Michael E. Brown, Henry G. Roe and Kristina M. Barkume. While in general her orbit is slightly farther out then Pluto's, Pluto does get further at aphelion, and closer at perihelion. Salcia's aphelion is 46.547 AU, and her perihelion 37.392 AU, with an orbital eccentricity of 0.109071. The orbital inclination is 23.92.

  She takes 271.9 years for one cycle.

  Salacia has a moon, Actaea.

  Mythology

  The Greek god Neptune fell totally in love with Salacia, and wanted to marry her, but she was so overwhelmed by his presence initially that she swam away when he approached. The god of the sea was too smitten to let her go, and sent the dolphin Delphinus after her to try and get her to change her mind, come back, and marry him. Delphinus must have been very persuasive, for she agreed, and became Neptune's wife. (Neptune, so greatful to Delphinus, awarded him by putting him in the heavens as a constellation.) They had three children, one named Actaea.

  It may be totally coincidental, but Salacia was discovered in the sign of Pisces, and Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune. As Neptune is associated by the Romans with Poseidon, Salacia became associated with Ampitrite.

  She was described as goddess of the sea, goddess of salt water, and is usually pictured as a lovely nymph, a crown made of seaweed upon her hair. Sometimes alone, sometimes alongside Neptune, she is often pictured driving a chariot drawn by sea creatures such as dolphins or sea horses.

  In addition to the oceans, you may also find it written that she was goddess of mineral springs.

  Plant Species

  The name Salacia has been given to a species of plants, at least two of which are used in herbal medicine and which are being studied by medical researchers:
  • Salacia, or Saptrangi (Salacia oblonga): Bark contains two potent a-Glucosidase inhibitors, Salicinol and Kotalanol, which shows promise in helping diabetes.
  • Chinese Salacia (Salacia chinesis) : The roots of this species have medicinal uses, including normalizing menstruation and invigorating circulation.

  Astrology

  SALACIA AND THE ECLIPSE

  June 15, 2011, 8:13:34 PM UT, there was a total eclipse of the Moon at 24 Sagittarius 23. Salacia was 24 Pis 32 (9' away from exact square.) We'll watch the news for glimmerings of Salacia's influence.

  SALACIA AND URANUS

  The planet Uranus has a reputation for shaking things up, even breaking things up. In 2007, Salacia and Uranus began to move near each other, and on March 15, 2008, they were exactly conjunct at 19 Pisces 02. Ten days later, when they had only separated by 17', a 156 square mile chunk of the Wilkins Ice Shelf disintegrated. This huge shelf, 5400 square miles of ice, is located in Antarctica. Sciences start looking more closely at the area, and were surprised to discover the the whole shelf was beginning to break away from the continent, and they watched as, at the end of May, another 62 square miles broke off. By the end of November it was announced that in 2008 alone, the shelf had lost 770 square miles, and in January 2009 that the shelf was only held up by a very thin strip of ice that. If that strip were to break, and the entire shelf (about the size of Jamaica) were to break away, it would be the largest such breakup of artic ice so far, and would result and numerous icebergs with their potential danger to shipping, and the melting giving further rise to the water levels. All during this period, Uranus and Salacia moved in and out of orb of conjunction.

  Salacia first moved into Pisces in 1993. That was the year that Professor David Vaughan, a scientist working with the British Antarctic Survey, predicted that the northern part of the Wilkins ice shelf was likely to be lost within 30 years if climate warming on the Peninsula were to continue at the same rate. In 2008 David conceded that his predictions were too conservative, as changes were occurring much more quickly than he had ever imagined.

  Interestingly, an article was published in the journal Science, on August 8, 1975, entitled, "Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?". This is probably the first use of that term in its modern sense. Salacia was about 5 Aquarius 30, which would make her semi-square to her position later when the scientific community's attention was drawn to the breaking up of the above ice shelf.

  SALACIA'S DISCOVERY DEGREE

  When she was discovered in 2004 she was at 13 Pisces 58. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is fitting for a beautiful queen: A young lady from top of coiffure to tip of toes is regal. She displays soft beauty of face above fox furs.

  One is tempted to wonder if her name, Salacia, has any connection to the word salacious which is used to describe someone with an excessive interest in sex, as well as books, magazines, and photos of an erotic, bawdy or lewd nature.
  

  • In 2004, the year of Salacia's discovery, Peter Borg created something he named "Simply Salacious Parties" to provide, as he puts it, "an environment for beautiful souls to come together under the shelter of soulful vocal underground house." Peter says that when you come to his parties, you should "leave your attitude at the door, get ready to dance all night long and make new friends on the dancefloor." They've held parties at many of the 'in' places like Studio 33, and the Ministry of Sound.
  • Also that year, Andrew Read and Micahel Jason started "Salacious Records". Initially created to produce their own music, it evolved into a business to showcase a number of new Indie groups.

  Because of the similarity of orbit to Pluto, I wanted to see how many times Salacia was in hard aspect to Pluto. I had to the Fourteenth Century to find a conjunction between them. But look how many squares they made after the opposition:

  PLUTINOS

  The named Plutino's, so far, include Ixion (discussed elsewhere on this site), Rhadamanthus and Huya. Orcus may also be a Plutino, so for now we will include it here as well. What exactly is a Plutino?

  First, let's mention what it isn't. Pluto is not a Plutino according to David Jewitt, the astronomer who coined the term. "Plutino" means "little Pluto", and since Pluto is a standard-sized Pluto, it couldn't be a "little Pluto."

  A reasonable definition of plutino is "a minor planet in 3:2 resonance with Neptune".

  Rhadamanthus

  Designated 1999 HX11, this body was discovered April 18, 1999, and has an orbit of 295.5395 years. (Let's say 295-1/2 years for convenience.)

  In mythology, he was the brother of Minos (King of Crete), son of Jupiter and Europa. However, he was raised by Asterion, not Jupiter. Minos became extremely jealous of his brother's popularity, and drove him out of Crete, so Rhadamanthus fled to Boeotia where he married Alcmene. (Homer represents him as dwelling in the Elysian fields.)

  On account of his inflexible integrity he was made one of the judges of the dead in the lower world, together with Aeacus and Minos. He was supposed to judge the souls of Asians, Aeacus those of Europeans, while Minos had the deciding vote. Rhadamanthus would decide upon cruel punishments for sinners; first, rebuking them, then trying their case, finally forcing them to confess.

  Dante makes Rhadamanthus one of the judges of the damned in the Inferno section of Divine Comedy. "Rhadamanthine" has since come to describe any just but inflexible judgment.

  Mark Andrew Holmes designed the symbol for Rhadamanthus, and has written about it at markandrewholmes.com/rhadamanthus.html

  When Rhadamanthus was discovered, it was at 1 Libra 48 R.

  Huya

  .

  Minor planet 38628 has been given the name Huya (Spanish: Juyá, pronounced "hoo YAH") is the name of the rain god of the Wayuu Indians of Venezuela and Colombia.

  Provisionally called 2000 EB173, it was discovered March 10, 2000 by Ignacio Ferrin, and has an orbit of 250.3576 years (let's call it 250-1/3 years for convenience.) It gets as close as 28.5591 AU to the Sun at perihelion, while its aphelion reaches 50.8856 AU.

  At discovery, it was located at 18 Libra 39 R.

  Sandy Turnbull has designed the symbol for Huya that is on the left, writing that it is "A modification of the meterological symbol for rain showers utilizing the symbols for the element water and a variation of Pluto to indicate its orbit."

  Mark Andrew Holmes has designed the Huya symbol that is on the right, and has written a bit about it at markandrewholmes.com/huya.html

  Orcus

  . D R

  Orcus, minor planet #90482, is pretty big. With a diameter of 995 miles, it's 1-1/2 times the size of Ixion. It, too, was discovered by a team of astrologers including M. Brown, C. Trujillo and D. Rabinowitz, on February 17, 2004. At that time it was provisionally called 2004 DW. The official announcement to the world occurred November 22, 2004.

  It appears to travel an elliptical orbit around the Sun, bringing it as close as 2.7 billion miles from the Sun and sending it as far out as 4.7 billion miles from the Sun.

  Pluto takes 248.09 years to circle the Sun while Orcus takes 247.94. This produces an interesting relationship. I calculated all the way back to the year 1000, and forwards to the year 2510, and not once were these two ever in conjunction or opposition. However, there were numerous squares, sextiles, trines, and even quincunxes between them. Most recently, they made 9 exact trines between 2006-2009, and before that, 5 exact squares in 1986-1987.

  Since it shares a similar size and orbit to that of Pluto, it was decided that it, too must be named after a deity of the underworld. In accordance with IAU rules, the discoverers' suggested name of Orcus was approved and published November 22, 2004.

  In Roman mythology, Orcus was a god of the underworld, punisher of broken oaths, more equivalent to Pluto than to the Greek Hades. The origins of Orcus may have lain in Etruscan religion. Orcus was a name used by Roman writers to identify a Gaulish god of the underworld.

  In modern day mythology, it is a popular name for providing an instant "demonic" atmosphere. This is in good part because Orcus' name is the origin of the words "orca" and "orc"; the latter popularized by J.R.R. Tolkien in his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The former designates not only the killer whale but also a monster in Ariosto's Orlando furioso.

  Orcus also appears as the Lord of Demons in Fred Saberhagen's Empire of the East series (the precursor to his more popular Book of Swords/Book of Lost Swords series), in which magic has replaced technology as the dominant force in the world, and what technology remains has often been transformed into something more than it once was.

  In Dungeons & Dragons, Orcus is a demon prince, and lord of the undead. Killed after a string of successful wars with Graz'zt and Demogorgon, he was restored as the undead demon Teneborous by Quah-Nomag the Skull King, one of his most devout followers. Rising against his murderers, Orcus reclaimed his layer of Hell Thanatos and his original name, proclaiming himself 'Prince of the Undead'. In this context, he typically is shown as having the head and legs of a ram, a bloated body, bat-like wings and a long tail.

  When Orcus was discovered, it was at 24 Leo 53 R.
  The announcement to the world was made when it was at 26 Leo 58.

  Sandy Turnbull designed the Orcus symbol that is on the left. She writes, "Derived from a little-used glyph for Pluto to represent the staff of Orcus, Prince of the Underworld.

  CUBEWANO

  OK, Plutino as a little Pluto makes sense. But I KNOW there is no body out there called Cubo, or even Cubewan. (Help me, Cubewan, you're my only hope?) So where the heck did this category get it's name?

  Quite simple, really. The very first body ever discovered out past Neptune & Pluto was designated 1992 QB1. Later, when other bodies were found with similar characteristics, they were called "QB1-o's", or cubewanos.

  Anyway, a cubewano is any substantial Kuiper belt object, orbiting beyond about 41 AU and not controlled by resonances with the outer planets. This category now also includes Borasisi, Chaos, Deucalion, Varuna and Quaoar.

  QB1 was discovered by David C. Jewitt and Jane X. Luu at the Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii. The discoverers suggested the name Smiley for the object, but as there is already another asteroid with that name (1613 Smiley, named after an American astronomer) the name couldn't be used. The asteroid has received the number 15760, and remains unnamed; it is normally referred to simply as QB1. QB1 has it's own page on this site: 1992 QB1.

  Borasisi

  Minor planet 66652, originally designated 1999 RZ253, was discovered on September 8, 1999. It takes about 292.6 years to circle the Sun, at perihelion getting as close as 39.982 AU, and as far away at aphelion as 48.164 AU. It has an orbital eccentricity of 0.0928, and an inclination of 0.5629.

  The other bodies on this page were named after deities at the center of mythological tales told by various cultures around the world. Borasisi's name, however, is unique, as it came from the mythology of a culture invented by novelist named Kurt Vonnegut. In his book, Cat's Cradle, Vonnegut takes us to a little island called San Lorenzo where a man, having adopted the name Bokonon, invents a religion based, as he describes it, completely on lies. His followers are called Bokononists, and they teach their children a creation myth about the sun god Borasisi:
  

  "Borasisi, the sun, held Pabu, the moon, in his arms, and hoped Pabu would bear him a fiery child. But poor Pabu gave birth to children that were cold, that did not burn; and Borasisi threw them away in disgust. Those were the planets who circled their terrible father at a safe distance. Then poor Pabu herself was cast away, and she went to live with her favourite child, which was Earth. Earth was Pabu’s favorite because it had people on it; and the people looked up to her and loved her and sympathised." So unlike Varuna, or Sedna, or Deucalion, central figures in myths handed down generation to generation, the myth of the Sun God Borasisi was created in the Twentieth Century in the mind of a man who also created the people who believed in him. I'll have more to say about Vonnegut's mind in a moment.

  The body in our solar system we now call Borasisi was found to be a binary system on 23 April 2003, like the Earth and Moon, and it's companion was named Pabu from the same story.

  I wondered where Borasisi fell in the chart of Kurt Vonnegut, since it was his creation, so I searched AstroDatabank and found that he was born on Nov 11, 1922 at 8:00 AM in Indianapolis, Indiana (39N46, 86W09.) Setting up his chart, I could easiy see why I liked his books (my moon is closely conjunct his Ascendant and Venus), but I almost fell out of my seat when I learned how significant Borasisi was in his chart!
  

  In his 11th house he has a close conjunction of Jupiter 3 Scorpio 25 to Mercury 4 Scorpio 03, and right between them sits Borasisi at 3 Scorpio 55! The closeness to his mental planets, Mercury and Jupiter, is significant enough. But if you've read Cat's Cradle, you too may find Borasisi's location in the 11th house of friends, groups, teams and associations quite amazing. Let me again quote from this book:
  "We Bokononists believe that humanity is organized into teams, teams that do God's Will without ever discovering what they are doing. Such a team is called a karass by Bokonon ... "If you find your life tangled up with somebody else's life for no very logical reasons," writes Bokonon,"that person may be a member of your karass."
  and about a world full of false karasses which are man-made groups that turn out to be, "a seeming team that was meaningless in terms of the ways God gets things done, a textbook example of what Bokonon calls a granfalloon. Other examples are the Communist party, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the General Electric Company, the International Order of Odd Fellows - and any nation, anytime, anywhere." So Vonnegut, having Borasisi in the house of associations, writes about a clear distinction between those people we are associated with because we share some common destiny, and those we associate with because of some invented, fictitious purpose.

  At discovery, Borasisi was 25 Aquarius 32. The Sabian symbol for this degree is "A Garage Man Testing A Car's Battery With A Hydrometer". I've seen a mechanic do just this, deducing how much charge is still left in the battery by the density of the remaining sulphuric acid. The battery is a place where a dangerous, poisonous substance has been tamed and put to work for us, and if the density of the acid is too great it can damage the battery, while too little will keep the battery from holding a charge. In the human body, our stomach also has a dangerous poison put to good use. Too much hydrochloric acid will eat away at the stomach lining, too little will not allow us to break down the foods to enable us to convert them into energy for the body's use. As a metaphor, one could apply this on many levels. For example, using certain words in just the right context, with just the right emphasis, can stir people on to great heights. The same words, without any feeling behind them, could be totally useless, while too much intensity backing the words can cause them to be biting, even destructive.

  Going back to Vonnegut's book for a moment, Bokonon states that his religion is built on 'harmless untruths', and that the essence of his religion is that one should live by the lies "that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy." Lies can be like sulfuric acid, burning everything they touch, but there are also times when telling a lie is the best thing to do in a situation. We even have the terms "White lie" and "Noble lie" as part of our vocabulary, both often reference to situations where a lie is told for good or noble reasons.

  Chaos

  

  I love the name of this one! Wonder if it has anything to do with Chaos theory?

  Minor planet 19521 was discovered on November 19, 1998 and was originally designated 1998 WH24. It has an orbit of 309.1006 years, reaches perihelion at 40.9264 AU, and aphelion at 50.5041. (Funny, you'd think with a name like Chaos it would have a more elliptical orbit!)

  Chaos derives from the Greek language and typically refers to unpredictability. In the metaphysical sense, it is the opposite of Law: unrestrictive, both creative and destructive.

  However, the original Greek worder did not mean "disorder" in classical-period Ancient Greece. It meant "the primal emptiness, Space". It is derived from the Indo-European root ghn or ghen meaning "gape, be wide open": compare "chasm" (from Greek), and Anglo-Saxon gānian (= "yawn"), geanian, ginian (= "gape wide"); see also Old Norse Ginnunga gap. Due to people misunderstanding early Christian uses of the word, the meaning of the word changed to "disorder".

  An oft-made assumption is that the metaphysical Chaos is Evil and that Law is Good, however it should be noted these are different concepts, and it is quite possible for Chaos to be Good and Law be Evil. One example of this would be the story of Robin Hood, or the real-life world examples of oppressive governments and dictatorships being thrown off by freedom fighters.

  Chaos (also 'Khaos')is also the primordial substance from which the universe sprang in Greek mythology.

  Mark Andrew Holmes has some thoughts on Chaos: markandrewholmes.com/chaos.html

  At its discovery, Chaos was located at 26 Taurus 34 R.

  Deucalion

  Minor planet 53311, Deucalion, was discovered April 18, 1999, and was originally designated 1999 HU11. It has an orbit of 295.5395 years, and its orbit is more round than that of Chaos, with perihelion at 41.5791 AU and aphelion at 44.3683 AU.

  In Greek mythology, Deucalion, or Deukalion ("new-wine sailor") was the son of Prometheus and Clymene or Celaeno.

  When the wrath of Zeus was ignited against the whole of the Pelasgians, the original pre-Hellenic inhabitants of Greece, Zeus decided to bring an end to the Golden Age with the Great Deluge. Zeus was appalled that these people were practicing cannibalism, and sacrificing humans to him, especially young boys. So Zeus was set upon loosing a deluge which would wash everything clean.

  Deucalion had been forewarned by his father Prometheus (who, being the god who took a particular liking to man, had a penchant for trying to help mankind avoid destruction), and so Deucalion's plan to build an ark and provision it carefully (no animals are rescued in this version of the Flood myth), so that when the waters receded after nine days, he and his wife Pyrrha, daughter of Epimetheus, were the one surviving pair of humans. Their ark touched solid ground on Mount Parnassus or Mount Etna or Mount Athos or Mount Othrys in Thessaly -- it depends whose version one is reading.

  Once the deluge was over and the couple had given thanks to Zeus, Deucalion consulted an oracle of Themis about how to repopulate the earth. He was told to cover your head and throw the bones of your mother behind your shoulder. Deucalion and Pyrrha understood that "mother" is Gaia, the mother of all living things, and the "bones" to be rocks. They threw the rocks behind their shoulders and the stones formed people. Pyrrha's became women; Deucalion's became men. Deucalion and Pyrrha had at least two children, Hellen and Protogenea, and possibly a third, Amphictyon (who is autochthonous in other traditions). Deucalion's parallels with Noah and with Utnapishtim, the survivor of the Sumerian Flood that is told in the Epic of Gilgamesh, are even clearer in the wine subtext in this myth. Though Deucalion is no longer allowed to be the inventor of wine as Noah still is, his name gives away his secret: deucos + halieus "new wine sailor". His wife, named "wine-red", just happens to be the sister of Ariadne who mothered with Dionysus, several wine-making progenitors of Aegean tribes.

  Sila-Nunam

  

  On the 3rd of February 1997, a team of astronomers working together in Hawaii discovered a new body that was initially designated 1997 CS29, and eventually given the number 79360. But it was not until several years later, at the beginning of 2012, that it was officially named Sila-Nunam.

  The hyphen in its name is there because this is not a single body, but a pair of objects orbiting around a common center, or what is now called a Binary System. One of these was named Sila and the other Nunam.

  MYTHOLOGY

  The Inuit (also called Eskimo) are people living in the far northern regions of Canada, the US state of Alaska, and on the other side of what might once have been the Bering Strait Land Bridge, Siberia and Greenland.

  Sedna was their sea-goddess. But they also believed deeply in another pair of beings.

  They believed the earth-goddess Nunam created the land animals and, some say, humans as well. She is often pictured as wearing a coat that reaches to her knees and from which hang living miniatures of all land animals she has created. She is a goddess of fertility, gestation and childbirth. The Musk-Ox, a very important creature for the Inuit's survival, was said to have been born from eggs that were deep inside Nunam's body.

  Her husband, Sila, was the god of weather, especially the winds, and also the god of the life-force, which he breathed into Nunam's creations to bring them to life. (The life force was said to come from Sila and flow back into Sila after death.) Since telling tales, and making music with one's voice, also required breathing, Sila was also seen as the god of music (especially singing), storytelling, and other creative inspiration. Edmond Carpenter wrote, in his book "Eskimo Realities", "In Eskimo, the word 'to make poetry' is the word 'to breathe', both are derivatives of anerca - the soul, that which is eternal, the breath of life." Shamans received their creative inspiration and abilities from Sila as well.

  ASTRONOMY

  Sila-Nunam has an orbit of about 288.1713 years, which is just a little longer than Pluto's. The two bodies in fact can seem to keep pace with each other for centuries. I ran the aspects between Pluto and Sila-Nunam all the way back to the year 1400, and they were never in conjunction. They were in opposition 3 times during 1478-1479, and have not opposed each other since. But between 1761 and 1765 they exactly squared each other 11 times; between 1867 and 1877 they made 23 exact squares; and then another 11 squares from 1960 to 1965.

  It has an orbital eccentricity of 0.00837059. That's pretty circular, considering a circle would be 0 and a straight line would be 1. For this reason its perihelion of 43.449 AU is not much different to its aphelion of 44.43. The inclination to the ecliptic is 2.25612.

  On 9 January 2012 the pair was officially named Sila-Nunam.

  The two bodies are almost identical in size. Sila is approximately 243 km in diameter and Nunam is 230 km. Sila-Nunam is very red in visible light, by the way.

  ASTROLOGY

  I didn’t catch it at first….the fact that Sila and Nunam were a couple. But when I read that it is a binary system with one body masculine, the other feminine, I realized that whatever influence Sila-Nunam has, one can probably expect some type of duality....a yin yang.

  I was thinking of Sila’s connection to the ‘breath of life’, when he breathed into Nunam’s creations, the animals. And I could not help thinking of the ‘chi’ or ‘ki’, the life force that is so much a part of Asian philosophies, and how proper breathing is necessary to balance the Yin and Yang within. Tao Yin is the name of a Taoist Respiration Therapy. Respiration therapy has long been a well-known art in ancient China, and it was adopted by the Taoists, not only for its therapeutic qualities, but also because it was realized that everything within nature has to breathe to survive, so truly 'breath is life'. Perhaps there is a strong Sila-Nunam who excel at playing the aboriginal musical instrument, the Didgeridoo, that requires a form of circular breathing.

  Sila-Nunam's discovery degree was 23 Cancer 34 R. The Sabian Symbol for that degree is "A Woman And Two Men Castaways On A Small Island Of The South Seas."

  Varuna

  . D The 2000th minor Planet, Varuna, was originally designated 2000 WR106 when it was discovered on November 28, 2000. It has an orbit of 283.20 years, a perihelion of 40.915 AU, and an aphelion of 45.335 AU. It has a diameter of about 560 miles.

  Varuna was discovered in the year 2000, but it was seen in 1953, although it was not recognized at the time.

  Russian astrologer Denis Kutalyov indicates that the Kuiper Belt may be seen as a sort of boundary of what is knowable; the multiplicity of objects in this region therefore suggests that the doors to the mystery beyond are legion. He further states that Varuna in particular may be seen as conferring notoriety, not to say infamy, and immortality in the sense of renown.

  Interestingly, it was discovered during a very strange event in US history: a US election where the results where hotly contested, and where no one knew for sure who was going to be president for days past the election. (Astrologer Jerome Armstrong has noted that the GOP has its natal Varuna at 19 Sagittarius, conjunct George W. Bush's South Node, which Pluto is currently transiting).

  It is named after the Hindu god Varuna, the oldest of the vedic (Hindu) deities, the maker and upholder of heaven and the earth. (In Vedism, god of the night sky who with his thousand eyes watches over human conduct and judges good and evil and punishes evildoers; often considered king of the Hindu gods and frequently paired with Mitra as an upholder of the world.) "He knows the pathway of the wind" (Rig Veda, the oldest of the Vedas and the oldest book in Sanskrit). Varuna is the merciful, supportive, and heavenly king of both the gods and humans who controls the physical order of the universe....Keeper of Divine Order, Lord of the Cosmos. He expresses physical power in battle and pro-creative vigor as he upholds cosmic law and a path of order. Omnipotent and omniscient, an enforcer of contracts who punished mortals who did not keep their word, he was also a Lord of the Dead who could confer immortality.

  When Varuna was discovered, it was at 10 Cancer 29 R

  Quaoar

  D . The 5000th minor planet, Quaoar (pronounced kwah-o-wahr), was discovered June 4, 2002, and was originally classified as 2002 LM60. The discovery was announced to the world on October 7, 2002. It has an orbit of 285.97 years, reaches perihelion at 41.914 AU, and aphelion at 44.896 AU.) The wonder of this is that it actually does have a nearly circular orbit...a rarity in this solar system. It is over half the diameter of Pluto....800 miles.

  Quaoar was named for a Native American god worshipped by the Tongva people as a creation deity of the Tongva people. (The Tongva are native to the area around Los Angeles, California.) According to legend, Quaoar "came down from heaven; and, after reducing chaos to order, laid out the world on the back of seven giants. He then created the lower animals, and then mankind."

  According to Tongva mythology, Quaoar sings and dances the world and other deities into existence.

  At the time of its discovery, Quaoar was conjunct the fixed star Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio. DeVore states that this star has the name Watcher of the West, and can be malevolent, destructive, subject to rash impulses, headtrong obtinancy.......but can also be a sign of honor and good fortune. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as we learn the nature of Quaoar.

  Mark Andrew Holmes has designed the Quaoar symbol on the right, and has written about it at markandrewholmes.com/quaoar.html

  Lynn Koiner has written an article well worth reading on this body: Quaoar, the Centaur of Transformation

  Discovery position was 10 Sagittarius 10 R.
  It was announced to the world when it was 9 Sagittarius 35.

  OORT OBJECT

  OK, what exactly is an Oort Object? Well, first, you need to understand what the Oort Cloud is.

  The Oort Cloud is a spherical cloud of comets situated about 50,000 to 100,000 AU from the Sun. This is approximately 1000 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto or roughly one light year, almost a quarter of the distance from the Sun to Proxima Centauri, the star nearest the Sun. The Oort cloud has its inner disk at the ecliptic from the Kuiper belt. It is believed to be the source of most or all comets entering the inner solar system (some short-period comets may come from the Kuiper belt), based on observations of the orbits of comets. The Oort cloud is believed to be a remnant of the original nebula that collapsed to form the Sun and planets five billion years ago, and is loosely bound to the solar system.

  Oort Objects are also known as Detached Objects, Extended Scattered Disk Objects (E-SDO), Distant Detached Objects (DDO) or Scattered-Extended. These are bodies with a perihelion too far away from Neptune to be significantly influenced by it, and so appear to be "detached" from the solar system. Eight other bodies have so far been placed in this classification, but only Sedna so far has been named. Sedna is most likely the largest of these, and for awhile was the one known to go the furthest out. But at least one other, as yet unnamed, goes even further outward: #87269. (2000 OO67). More on this in a bit. Here are a few of the other known Oort Objects:
  

  • 148209 (2000 CR105)
  • 48639 (1995 TL8)
  • 82075 (2000 YW134)

  Sedna

  . D . B Sedna, minor planet #90377, is totally amazing. Its orbit (76 AU at perihelion, 928 AU at aphelion), have led some to speculate that it is the planet Nibiru spoken of by author Zechariah Sitchen. It may belong to an "inner" Oort cloud.

  If Sedna indeed belongs to the Oort cloud, this may mean that the Oort cloud is both denser and closer to the Sun than previously thought. This has been proposed as possible evidence that the Sun initially formed as part of a dense cluster of stars; with closer neighbors during Oort cloud formation, objects ejected by gas giants would have their orbits circularized closer to the Sun than was predicted for situations with more distant neighbors.

  We don't know the size yet, because it is too far out to be able to deduce. But its diameter should be approximately 995 miles. One thing they can tell us is that it is red in color and very shiny. It is said to be the reddest object in the Solar System after the planet Mars.

  Sedna was discovered by Mike Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz on Nov. 14, 2003. (There's that Rabinowitz guy again!) The discovery was announced on March 15, 2004, and was originally designated 2003 VB12.

  Its discovery was the farthest distance at which any natural object in solar system has ever been observed. And...are you ready for this? Sedna's orbit takes about 10,706 years!!!!

  Sedna was named after the mythical Inuit goddess of the sea. It is said she was thrown into very cold Arctic waters by her father. Naming the faraway body Sedna seemed appropriate to its discoverers as the planetoid may be the coldest object in the Solar System.

  The Inuit are an aboriginal people on Earth living on fish and animals in northern Canada above the tree line in the Northwest Territories, and in Northern Quebec and Labrador.

  In Inuit mythology, Sedna is a sea goddess and master of the animals, especially mammals such as seals, of the ocean. She lives in and rules over Adlivun, the Inuit underworld.

  According to one myth, Sedna, similar to a mermaid, was the daughter of the creator-god Anguta and his wife. She is said to have been so huge and hungry that she ate everything in her parents' home, and even gnawed off one of her father's arms as he slept. According to some versions of the myth, she took a dog for her husband.

  Anguta was so angry that he threw her over the side of his canoe. She clung to its sides, whereupon he chopped her fingers off one by one until she let go. She sank to the underworld, becoming the queen of the monsters of the deep, and her huge fingers became the seals, sea-lions and whales hunted by the Inuit.

  Other tales assert that Sedna was a beautiful and chaste maiden who was innocently lured into marriage by an evil bird spirit. When her father tried to rescue her, the spirit became angry and caused a terrible storm which threatened the very survival of her people. In desperation, Sedna's father threw her into the raging sea.

  The varying legends each give different rationales for her death at the hands of her father. Sometimes she is the innocent victim, and sometimes she appears to deserve death as punishment for greed or some other evil. But all tales agree that she descended into the depths of the ocean and became the Goddess of Sea Creatures. As such she became a vital deity, eagerly worshipped by hunters who depended on her goodwill to supply food.

  At its discovery, Sedna was at 17 Tau 58 R
  And when it was announced to the world, its postion was 17 Tau 40

  #87269 (2000 OO67)

  Sedna's discovery was amazing. Imagine a body that takes over 11,000 years to orbit the Sun. I thought I'd seen everything! That is, until the Cerro Tololo Observatory in Chile discovered, on July 29, 2000 , one with a 12,705 year orbit! If any body fits Sitchen's idea of Nibiru, it's got to be #87269. So I've nicknamed it Nibiru, at least until it gets an official name.

  Nibiru travels out more than 1068 AU from the Sun at aphelion. That's more than twice the distance Pluto gets when it is furthest out. But get this: when it is at its perihelion, it gets as close as 20.766 AU! That closer than Neptune or Pluto ever gets.....in fact, that is almost to the orbit of Uranus, which at furthest out can reach 20.09 AU. One could even say that once one has stepped beyond the walls (Saturn) to explore the new and different (Uranus), this body is waiting as a bridge to take us to the furthest reaches of reality!

  We just recently witnessed its Perihelion April 18-19, 2005, approximately 24 Pisces 36. Pluto at that time was about 24 Sagittarius 22.

  Since it moves, relatively, so close to the Sun, and crosses the orbits of Neptune and Pluto, some astronomers have classed it as a Centaur. If it is a Centaur, it is a truly remarkable one! Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.962. To put that in perspective, 0.0 would be a perfect circle, and 1.0 would be a straight line!

  Francesco Schiavinotto has been exploring this little body, and has found some intriguing people who had it in very close conjunction with their Sun:

  • Alfred Wegener had Sun 9 Scorpio 26 conjunct #87269 at 9 Scorpio 23. He is known for his theory of continental drift, and his book discussing earth's geological evolution led to the now well-established theory of plate tectonics. Imagine the type of mind that has no difficulty visualizing changes over perhaps hundreds of millions of years. He also was known for introducing the idea that the craters on the moon were not of volcanic origin, but rather, the result of meteor impact.
  • Giovanni Arduino (Caprino Veronese had it at 21 Libra 56, conjunct the Sun at 22 Libra 42. This gentleman was known as the "Father of Italian Geology." He is known for developing the first classification of the geological history of this planet, dividing it into four periods: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary.
  • Oskar Barnack had it at 9 Scorpio 10, Sun 8 Scorpio 41. A mechancial genius, he also spearheaded the making of the first 35 millimeter camera for the general publc.

  I've collected a number of people with close conjunctions from Nibiru to one or more personal planets. I've grouped them according to the body that is in conjunction, or if they have multiple points in conjunction, the closest aspect decides which group. I've allowed a maximum orb of 1-1/2 degrees, although in a few cases wider orbs are included if the conjunctions are a part of a group or stellium. Click on their names and it will take you to biographical page for the person. If no house is listed, the time was unknown and I used Noon positions:

  It moved back and forth over the border between Libra and Scorpio from 1810-1816, and between Scorpio and Sagittarius from 1946-1948. 1979 saw it moving into Capricorn, 1992-1993 into Aquarius, 2000-2001 into Pisces (it was discovered at 0 Pisces 58 R), and 2006-2007 into Aries, where it is right now. On May 13, 2012, it crosses briefly into Taurus, returning to Aries on November 24. On February 11, 2013 it moves into Taurus again where it will stay until 2020. Clearly it's in the faster part of its orbit
