the point of the centaurs article post was about astronomical,orbital features of an object can give clues to its astrological meaning.

astronomically oriented astrologers like Philip Sedgwick,Juan Revilla do that with not just centaurs but also the transneptunian objects.

astronomers name objects according to their astronomical,orbital features too
I already gave examples about the plutinos,cubewanos as well as Sedna and Haumea.

Haumea is a very unique object,and so it has astrological significance
It's not only a dwarf planet,and so it's a large transneptunian object.

It spins far rapidly than any object ever known even though it's large.
It looks like a spinning football


From Michael Brown's site:
"2003 EL61 -- now known as Haumea -- is one of the strangest known objects in the solar system. It is a big across as Pluto, but shaped like a cigar. Or perhaps like a football [American-style]. Or, most accurately, a football that has too little air in it and has been stepped on. It spins end over end every 4 hours like a football that has been kicked. It appears to be made almost entirely of rock, but with a glaze of ice over the surface. It is surrounded by two tiny satellites (Hi'iaka and Namaka) and is followed in its orbit by a swarm of other small icy bodies. Everything that we know about this body appears to tell us that in its past another object slammed into it at high speed and cracked it into pieces which flew all around the outer solar system and left what we see today. "

"Why is Haumea spinning fast, shaped like a football, made out of ice-covered rock, and surrounded by tiny satellites?
Good question. We have constructed a hypothesis which attempts to explain everything going on on Haumea. The hypothesis goes like this: 4.5 billion years ago, when the solar system was in the process of forming, the object that is now Haumea was a ball made half of ice and half of rock and about the size of Pluto (much like what we think Pluto is today). Sometime early in its history, another large Kuiper belt object collided with Haumea obliquely. This collision knocked away most of the ice (which would have been on the outside) of Haumea, leaving just a rock covered in a thin film of ice. The oblique impact caused Haumea to spin rapidly. The rapid spin elongated Haumea into the football shape we see today. Some of the debris from the impact coalesced into the satellites, which would have been initially much closer but which have been evolving outward with time."

"This story contains some elements of how we think the Earth and Moon formed: a Mars-sized body hit the proto-earth and the moon coalesced from the debris following the impact. There is also an analogy to the formation of Charon around Pluto which was thought to have been from a Kuiper belt impact at a similar time. Finally there is an analogy to the planet Mercury, which was once thought to be much larger but was smashed by a huge object early in its history which removed much of the rocky outer layer and left mostly the iron core that we see today."

"One of the interesting predictions of this hypothesis is that the debris from the collision, from which the satellites formed, should have been composed predominantly of ice, rather than rock. The satellites themselves, then, should be almost purely ice. The best way to determine the composition of the satellites would be if we could determine their density. Unfortunately, the satellites are too small to measure the densities any time soon. We can, however, measure the composition of the surface of Hi'iaka. We find that it, like Haumea itself, is composed of water ice. On Hi'iaka the water ice appears perhaps 100% pure. While we don't know for certain that there is not rock under the surface, we think that such pure water ice is a likely indication that there is water ice all the way down, which is consistent with our hypothesis."

"The family of Haumea
While the odd characteristics of Haumea and its moons initially led us to the hypothesis of a giant impact, the smoking gun came when we found the other icy debris left over from the collision in orbits similar to Haumea itself. In a paper just published in Nature we show the existence of five small objects in the Kuiper belt which look just like the moons of Haumea and appear to be additional chunks of the icy outer layer of Haumea that got blasted off the surface. These chunks appear to be about 10% of the total amount of material blasted off the surface. Some of the rest probably evaporated into space, but some smaller ones are probably still in the vicinity waiting to be found. We recognized these chunks as debris from Haumea because we first noticed that a small number of Kuiper belt objects appeared to have unique surfaces composed of almost pure ice. Most of the other Kuiper belt objects have much more complex surfaces that are difficult to understand, but Haumea, its satellites, and these five new objects all appeared unique. While trying to understand why these we different it suddenly became glaringly obvious that all of these objects were on very similar orbits, and that if you traced those orbits back in time you would be able to connect them to a single location where they were once part of a larger body (this is an oversimplification, but gets the main point)."

"This is pretty exciting stuff! We had never before had evidence for such catastrophic disruptions in the outer solar system, though they appear moderately common within the asteroid belt in the inner solar system. What is even more interesting is that the collision occurred near a region of space where Kuiper belt objects don't live for long without having their orbits become unstable (for the curious: the orbits become unstable because they go around the sun precisely 7 times for every 12 times that Neptune goes around the sun, and, over time, the fact that this pattern repeats gives the Kuiper belt objects slight perturbations every orbit which eventually build up enough to cause the object to be unstable). When the orbits become unstable, the objects can eventually work their way in towards the inner solar system where we would call them comments. It is clear that the giant impact that made the Haumea family must have created many many tiny fragments that have lit up the earth's skies in the past. Even more interesting, Haumea is on an unstable orbit and will possibly become a comet itself. When it does it will probably be 10,000 times brighter than the spectacular comet Hale-Bopp, making it something like the brightness of the full moon and easily visible in the daytime sky. The only catch is that all of this will happen in perhaps 1 billion years, so you have a little bit of waiting to do to see it!"

Here are the keywords that Philip Sedgwick came up with.
He didn't take the mythology into account but also the astronomical,orbital features as well as the placement of its heliocentric north node in 2'02 Leo and perihelion in 1'04 Aries at the time of discovery.


From Philip Sedgwick's THE SOUL OF THE SKY

"The 3rd brightest KBO (Pluto #1) locked into an orbital period with its moon of 4 hours, this interesting KBO possesses a cigar shape because of fast rotational period. It is, in fact, the fastest spinning object known in the solar system. Like other centaurs and KBO’s, 136108 serves to cultivate a stronger sense of soulful self due to its Aries/Leo orbital elements. Likely this body encourages us all to shine brightly even though our body might not be perfectly shaped. The need to overcome perceived liabilities of personal appearance runs strong - a theme which supports the healing attributes of co-dwarf planet, Eris.
Mike Brown, tri-discoverer of this body (as well as Eris and 2005 FY9 and many others) declares this object a “smoking gun.” While EL61 consists of nearly solid rock, most of the surrounding bodies are purely ice in formation, except for a notable, unique EL61 family of rocky objects. EL61 and its two moons and five other nearby objects of similar composition (quite unlike most of the
bodies in the Kuiper belt) maintain an orbital ratio of 12:7 with Neptune; for every seven orbits of the EL61 clan, Neptune passes through a dozen solar revolutions. The conclusion derived from this observation suggests that at some point long ago a massive collision took place in what is now known as the Kuiper Belt. EL61 is hypothesized to have been a rocky body, likely larger than
Pluto, surrounded by ice. During the violent collision, the icy core fractured, becoming other Kuiper Objects and leaving the rocky center of EL61 crunched into a new shape and seen for what it is on the inside with no refracting icy veneer."

"Given the instability of the orbits, this group of objects, ultimately they probably shall evolve into comets. For EL61, the process should take about a billion years."

"Brown reported in an interview that he and his co-discoverers proposed a name for EL61 and the two accompanying moons according to Hawaiian lore to honor the geographic location of discovery of these bodies."

"The node and perihelion degree of EL61 both fall in self-referential signs. Given that the object’s aphelion aligns with a cluster of supermassive black holes near the core of the super-galaxy, honoring the process of retreat, reflection and repose stands out as the most important tool in the body’s transformation-rendering skill set. Simply, stealing away from the masses to a place of
extraordinary beauty and calm, inspires the ability to literally fall into oneself. There all is seen for what it is. The core is rock solid and without the need for any illusion producing cover or hype, such as how the appearance of objects distorts when seen through an icy exterior. Simply, a new spin comes about. This is the “it is what it is” object, but aligned more with the realization
reached by the animated character, Popeye,28 after his pilgrimages at sea: “I yam what I yam.”

"Self acceptance without embarrassment relieves the psyche of the need to protect, disguise or mask. In such a non-defended state, one can embrace the idyllic state of personal paradise,whether visiting the location of this body’s discovery or not."

That's an example of how Philip Sedgwick gets his astrological insights into an object from its astronomical,orbital features that include its heliocentric north node and perihelion at the time of discovery. Philip Sedgwick is an astrologer that does Heliocentric Astrology as well as Deep Space Astrology.
He has written SUN AT THE EARTH CENTER (Heliocentric Astrology) and THE SOUL OF SKY (Deep Space Objects,Centaurs,and Transneptunians). He has written ASTRONOMY FOR ASTROLOGERS. It's all on his Galactic Trilogy CD which I have. I love his stuff. He's my favorite astrologer because of his astronomically orientation and his work on transneptunians and centaurs.


I find it interesting that Michael Brown discovered an object in Hawaii, and that the object happened to fit the mythological Haumea in regards to fragments of it were broken off to become other orbiting bodies.


in my natal:
using whole sign house system:

Haumea in 11'16 Virgo in 1st
conjunct Ascendant in 13'26 Virgo in 1st
square Midheaven in 11'14 Gemini in 10th

also oppose Eris/Node midpoint in 11'22 Pisces
so I have Haumea = Eris/Node = Midheaven


In my next Solar Return on October 28th

using whole sign house system:
Haumea in 16'27 Libra in 12th
