Im sure you all are well aware of the new planet discovered a few months ago, temporarily knicknamed Xena! Does anyone know if this planet is going to be included astrologically soon....AND, if no one has defined its meaning, what do you think the planet will represent in spiritual terms?

1.consider the planets revolution time.
2.observe its effects in various signs durings its sojourn and decide what events on earth conincide with the important dates of the planets sojourn (like when it changes a sign or when it is conjunct sun or moon)

thus we shall understand the effects and energies of the planets.

which sign it belongs to...

1.consider the default behaviour of various signs.
2. consider the nature of the events (outlined as being associated to the planet) in each sign. example...lets say xena is found to be associated to event A. now study how event A occours during planet's motion in each sign.
3.conclude where planets energy (whether good or eveil) is at its best and where worst. example...jupiter is most masculine and expansive when it blends with the emotions of cancer and least expansive and fancy when it blends (or rather meets with) down to earth and structured unflighty capricorn.

Its revolution time is 665 years.

Proserpine/Persefone (daughter of Ceres) was kidnapped by Pluto, god of the underworld while she sat in a field with a lap full of daffodils. Some think that she was immobilized or entranced by the toxic aroma of the daffodils. Proserpine became queen of the underworld for half the year, and returned to her mother for the other half. The festival was completed with [fiery] entreaties to Ceres, goddess of the Earth and its fruits, for successful crops.

If the name Xena sticks, then this new planet will represent the female archetype of sacred warrior. Chiron represents the male archetype of sacred warrior. Both archetypes are now discovered in the cosmos and are available to each person on this planet. This would be a call to each of us to balance the yin and yang, male and female within. The era of matriarchal or patriarchal dominance is over. We enter a period where both are celebrated together, and not one at the expense of the other.

Because of her slow orbit, everyone alive today has Xena in either Pisces or Aries. Thus her house placement rather than sign placement will be the significant factor in determining Xena's meaning in a natal chart. In addition, if the name Xena sticks, I expect any aspecting between Xena and Chiron will be significant, although it may be generational rather than individual.

Good work Peri, great depth as always

"Nonetheless, for a brief few days in August, 2005, the media proved it was the summer silly season and jumped on the idea of a new planet named Xena, but by summer's end, it had become clear: the name Xena would only be a bit of whimsy, and the real "serious" name of the planet would be determined in bureaucratic due course, which likely would be sometime in 2007 at the earliest."

That article, BTW, was called "UB313: not to be named Xena." Astrologers who have been following these developments are very aware that UB313 is not going to be called Xena, and that the name's only temporary as Betelgeuse said. I don't think Peri was trying to mislead people, but only quoting the section from the article that offers a kind of interpretation. Traditionally in astrology, new bodies are interpreted in part by the events surrounding by their discovery, so there's the possiblity that in the future we'll be interpreting UB313 with an acknowledgement to its former nickname.
