I just looked at your natal Ixion. Ixion in 29'01 Libra
oppose Moon in 27'18 Aries
semisquare Pluto - '11
sesquiquadrate Saturn - '30
sesquiquadrate/semisquare Lunar Nodes - '08
So Ixion is prominent in your natal chart.
You have a prominent Ixion transit going on right now.
Therefore, I am going go post stuff on Ixion for you. As a person is very prominent in Ixion myself with mine conjunct the Sun with 5 minutes of arc and trine Moon with 2'15 orb as well as Heliocentric Ixion Nodal axis on my Midheaven/Imum Coeli axis, I am very familiar with this energy. Transiting Ixion is squaring my Ascnedant/Descendant axis less than 1 degree now. Scrappydog has her Ixion on her Descendant,oppose her Ascendant. Transiting Ixion is squaring her Venus right now.
Here is stuff about Ixion

The following is from Philip Sedgwick's book, THE SOUL OF THE SKY
Ixion (28978/2001 KX76)
Orbital Period: 246.78 y Distance at Perihelion (AU): 29.751
Perihelion: 11 A 47 Distance at Aphelion (AU): 48.936
Node: 11 C 01 Size (km): 1065 +/- 165
Date of Discovery: 05/22/2001 Semi-Major Axis: 39.343 AU
Eccentricity: 0.244 Inclination: 19.7º
The Kuiper Belt object 28978 recently received a number indicating the
astronomers’ confidence in their assessment of its orbit. The most noteworthy characteristic of this object is its size. Current estimates indicate that 28978 possesses a diameter of more than 1,200 km. At the time (pre-Quaoar) it was the largest of the known Kuiper Belt Objects and larger than the asteroid Ceres. Some astronomical suggestions offer that an object more than 1,000 km in diameter could be considered a planet! Ceres, by the way, the largest non-Kuiper Belt minor planet object, is less than 1000 km in diameter, though very close to the suggested magical planet limit. Presently, a new proposal rests on the table of astronomical consideration. This suggests a lesser diameter the definition of a lanet. If accepted, Ceres, Ixion and Quaoar, would all become “instant”
planets.
(This was written before astronomers came to the decision about Pluto,Eris,and Ceres classed as dwarf planets)
Ixion bears the dubious distinction of being the individual to first to shed kindred blood. When his father-in-law to be arrived to collect the obliged dowry, Ixion led him to a pit of concealed coals into which the father-in-law fell and died a scorching death. Since this crime was as heinous as it was, no earthly healer would work with Ixion. Zeus took pity upon him and offered the healing resources of Olympus for his purification.
While there, Ixion took a fancy to Hera, Zeus’ wife. It was said that Ixion loved Hera and attempted to establish sexual relations with her. Hera informed Zeus of the indiscretion. Zeus determined that a test of Ixion’s efforts of seducing Hera seemed necessary. Zeus conjured a cloud in the image of Hera placing it next to Ixion, which Ixion promptly impregnated. When Ixion boasted of his time with Hera, Zeus bound him to a wheel (often claimed to be a wheel of fire) sending Ixion careening with the winds into Tartarus, the lowest level of hell. But the clouds
through which the wheel turned gave birth to Centaurus and from him (Centaurus), the rest of the centaurs were born. Thus, Ixion became the father of the centaurs, excepting Chiron.
It’s hard to take a liking to this bad boy. The prized Greek concept of showing gratitude to the benefactor was clearly ignored. Then, Ixion blew a second chance for redemption. Aware of the consequences of playing out of his league, Ixion proceeded to play with fire. And the entire Ixion dilemma arose from reluctance to pay one’s dowry for a long term relational bliss.
For us today, Ixion calls our attention to the need to remain vigilant of our position in life, it’s consequence and based upon personal past, how might we implement better choices in this present go round. The need to uphold fiscal responsibilities in relationships appears. Avoiding a covetous manner, especially toward the number one God’s wife, would be a good thing to keep in mind. And when in Mount Olympus, do as the Mount Olympians do. Behave like an immortal one, shunning frail, mortal instincts.
Some suggest a Christ-like attribute to Ixion. He acted as the purified progenitor of guilt in the blood line. Perhaps Ixion offers the antidote to shaking family curses, dna-linked clan behaviours
and the malady of turning out just like dear old mom and dad. How would this take place? Well, let’s hope that Ixion suffered for our sins. Meanwhile, stop inventing new ones.
First, any fire based (as in the fires of Hell) ceremony of purification would work. And redefining the commitment too good, once it is in place. Dealing with God, as in, “I’ll be good. I promise, if you get me out of this,” mind-sets must go by the wayside.
And for an easy life solution, how about chilling out on a hillside and watching the clouds drift overhead making puffy shapes of this symbol and that? Many an insight, oracle and inspiration have been derived in such a way; or so the rumour goes.
One final note. Personally, one must not tempt fates, nor mess with Mother Nature, the laws of nature and Universal Forces. Cloud seeding, as done by Ixion, comes to obvious consideration.
During droughts should clouds be seeded with ice crystals? Does nature have her own balance in mind? Does this really work? Tough questions. Sometimes allowing the Universe to work things out might be more of what Ixion would have benefitted from having in mind.
Once the size of Ixion became known, then minor planet 28978, the Planet X/Niburu proponents jumped on the band wagon. Is Ixion their Planet X? Unlikely. The alleged orbit of the supposed Planet X would be about 3,600 years. None of the best Kuiper candidates we have so far match that specified and highly-touted period. More significantly, the object would need to be substantially larger than any of these to induce the gravitational calamity suggested. Clyde Tombaugh, discovering astronomer of Pluto, once said if there were a substantially larger object than Pluto out there, he would have found it. Meanwhile, new technology makes it hard to imagine that such a large body has not been detected. Enter the cover-up theory. The government knows and they are concealing this object from us. If that were the case, before you know it, some bumbling amateur will find the allegedly massive object and unveil the cosmic clandestine
The only other factor could be time, space and money. If the search budget has not afforded adequate viewing of all sectors of space, then it might still be lurking. If the astronomers have not yet looked in the right direction, it could remain unseen. This is unlikely at this point. The killer
XKBO theory is not founded in solid Kuiper Belt knowledge, but in poorly informed speculation.
Meanwhile, as an aside, many of the other buckshot theories (we’re bound to hit something!) have no basis in science as we know it. Then again, maybe science is lacking and the doomsday theorists are actually correct. For me, I’m planning on living past May of 2003. And if you’re
reading these worlds after that time, send those websites an e-mail for me. Tell them to study the factuality of the deep realms of our solar system and the Universe.
However, I must also say that I have visited the impressive meteor crater in Arizona. It makes an impression on your psyche sporting its 550 foot depth with the circumference of 2.4 miles.
Sooner or later, the Earth will be hit by another space object. That object is not Ixion, nor is it likely to lie in the distant Kuiper Belt. It is more likely a smaller, more immediate in distance,
threat.
And within the true Ixion theme, once you know better, stop it. Should the facts you promulgate be flawed, cease spewing false seeds of insight.
Should all of the bodies, especially those of Underworld symbolism within our solar system are understood, then any of these events would be of no concern. Given that you might be like Ixion and have blown a recent chance for penance, then perhaps look around for a form of repentance
consistent the Aries-Gemini perihelion-node collection of Ixion. This time when you say you’re sorry and you’ll behave, mean it.
Positive - understands the karmic wheel, gives and uses second chances, impeccably discerning in life’s choices
Negative - lustful, inconsiderate, inclined to repeat errors, learns nothing from experience
Mundane - second efforts and chances, reset buttons, cloud seeding, study of weather, watching clouds, lust or coveting of another's mate
Ceremonial - rain dances, purging fires, seeking master healers

“It is absolutely the perfect name,” Dr. Brown said, given the continuing discord among astronomers and the public over whether Pluto should have retained its planetary status.
In mythology, Eris ignited discord that led to the Trojan War.
“She causes strife by causing arguments among men, by making them think their opinions are right and everyone else’s is wrong,” Dr. Brown said. “It really is just perfect.”
