Makemake, formally designated (136472) Makemake, is the third-largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System and one of the two largest Kuiper belt objects (KBO) in the classical KBO population.[b] Its diameter is roughly three-quarters that of Pluto.[8] Makemake has no known satellites, which makes it unique among the largest KBOs. Its extremely low average temperature (about 30 K (−243.2 °C)) means its surface is covered with methane, ethane, and possibly nitrogen ices.[9]

Initially known as 2005 FY9 and later given the minor planet number 136472, it was discovered on March 31, 2005, by a team led by Michael Brown, and announced on July 29, 2005. Its name derives from the Rapanui god Makemake. On June 11, 2008, the IAU included Makemake in its list of potential candidates to be given "plutoid" status, a term for dwarf planets beyond the orbit of Neptune that would place the object alongside Pluto, Haumea and Eris. Makemake was formally classified as a plutoid in July 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makemake_(dwarf_planet)

Makemake (also written as Make-make or MakeMake; pronounced en-us-Makemake.ogg [ˈmakeˈmake] (help·info) in Rapanui[1]) in the Rapa Nui mythology of Easter Island, was the creator of humanity, the god of fertility and the chief god of the "Tangata manu" or bird-man cult (this cult succeeded the island's more famous Moai era).

He is a frequent subject of the island's Petroglyphs.

The trans-Neptunian dwarf planet, originally designated 2005 FY9, is named Makemake in an allusion to the shared connection of the dwarf planet and Easter Island with Easter. (The dwarf planet was discovered shortly after Easter 2005; the first European contact with Easter Island was on Easter Sunday 1722.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makemake_(mythology)

Philip Sedgwick referred to the big transneptunian objects as being evolutionary intensified objects. Evolutionary suggests that emotional and spiritual crisis induced by the presence and passage of these bodies intends to enhance the insight, inspiration, creativity and consciousness of a person on Earth and through events on Earth containing these bodies in significant locations.

“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.”

I am glad someone brought this dreadful horoscope. I read my sun (scorpio) and my moon and rising (taurus), my honey's sun and moon (virgo) and his rising sign (capricorn).

Yikes!

I am freaking out more about his forecast than anything else. He does not even care about astrology at all.

I am very concerned about the fact he found the house already but he has not signed the papers yet...and my intuition is telling me that the paper dealings will take place during Mercury retrograde. But oh well, I want to have more faith in hope and optimism than astrology itself.

After all, it is not as if I can just say, "hey hun, why don't you forget about that house until October, there is this thing called Mercury retrograde. Here, let me explain it to you". He will look at me as if I had grown bunny ears.

Funny that he has been telling me that something has to go downhill since everything has been going very well with him in terms of job, house-hunting, etc.

Anyways, I am looking forward to the full moon in Pisces this friday. His b-day is on Labor day and I have a bunch of surprises for him. I am positive that everything will turn out all right with this date.

But, I am wary of September 15, 17, 18, 22 and 23. I am so glad that these days fall on the weekdays instead of the weekend. We tend to spend time on the weekends and if we get to see each other on any of these days, I shall keep in mind to remain calm and in peace.

The good thing....saturn is moving out of virgo pretty soon.
I am excited about this. I have seen the way that saturn and the saturn-uranus opposition has affected the Virgos I know and I can't wait to see their lives returning to normalcy again.

Note to self for the month of September: support your Virgo.

Unmoved, just seen your chart on your Solar Return posting and I am surprised how many trines we have between our natals. I imagine you are really sweet person to know and with your Sun in 11th, a bit of a rebel too :-)

I'm probably only sweet to you because I have all those trines with you. The Sun in 11th does make me march to the beat of my very own eccentric drummer. Yes.

exactly.....many things in Astrology are relative because there is great deal of diversity and divergent views. Many things in Astrology can be questioned,challenged,and debated.

I do that a lot with mainstream Western Astrology. Imho I think that a lot of its outdated, and many astrologers approach new things in Astrology like many vedic astrologers approach mainstream Western Astrology.

a matter of fact, I am actually going to post about dogmatic vedic astrologer about his views about the use of objects beyond Saturn. He even talks about how mainstream astrologers have the same attitudes about the use of asteroids like he has about outer planets.

It's no wonder I think that Eris could be co-ruler of Astrology because of the "I am right and I am wrong" stuff that tends to go in the astrological community and the diversity that is in the community with so much intolerance of other astrological systems. Steven Forrest even pointed out the Tower of Babel situation that is in the astrological community.

to me, controversial tends to something that is said that others don't like nor agree with because it challenges the status quo or the idea of what is right and wrong and what is true and false.

Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader):
"If you are not with me, you are my enemy"

Obiwan Kenobi
"Only the Sith Speaks in Absolutes"

seems like Eris to me.
