Planet X and another object dubbed "Planet Y," are among 13 "extreme trans-Neptunian objects" (ETNOs) orbiting the sun at great distances, according to a report in Space, which quoted a new research paper.

They are believed to follow elliptical paths averaging about 200 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. Earth is 1 AU, or 93 million miles, from the sun.

"This excess of objects with unexpected orbital parameters makes us believe that some invisible forces are altering the distribution of the orbital elements of the ETNOs, and we consider that the most probable explanation is that other unknown planets exist beyond Neptune and Pluto," lead author Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, of the Complutense University of Madrid, said in a statement.

"The exact number is uncertain, given that the data that we have is limited, but our calculations suggest that there are at least two planets, and probably more, within the confines of our solar system," he added.

They are far enough away to be nearly impossible to spot with current instruments, according to Space.

Planet X was previously hypothesized in a 2014 research paper.

Called 2012 VP113, researchers Chadwick Trujillo and Scott Sheppard claimed that the object never came closer to the sun than 80 AU, according to Space.

The newly-found ETNO joins Sedna, another planet believed to be 10-times the size of Earth and lying 250 AU from the sun, as objects residing outside the Kuiper Belt, where Pluto resides, according to Space.

I think our astrology is just fine. 😊

I consider the planets no more than symbols we use to track the energy that makes all of us what we are.

Astrology's been the same for many years. I don't think it'll change because new planets are discovered. It'll take another thousand (dramatic much lol) years to make the newly discovered planets make sense astrologically for people.

Maybe she meant Ceres and Eris?

Or Haumea, Sedna, Makemake and the other dwarf planets?

The one closer to the Sun than Mercury that she predicted is Vulcan, other astrologers have predicted it too. Vulcan is predicted to be discovered next and apparently already has been in a way (by scientists) but they are keeping in under wraps and find it hard to accept because it doesn't have the same type of physical body as the other planets and is more akin to an "energy field" so they don't know what to call it. They will come round eventually. Astrologers predicted Pluto before it was found as well. So funny how science always "discovers" things that were already there, and that visionaries and others already predicted.

Science: "Ooh ooh look what *I* "discovered!!"

...Actually, that thing (species, element, planet..) always existed, you just came along, recognized it for what it was, named it and described it's physical characteristics and call that "discovered." Hahahaha oh science you crack me up.

And I'm sure you know this Randall, but the other planet Linda predicted was Pan-Horus for Taurus.

I don't think it will change astrology "forever" because nothing lasts forever. Or you could look at it as Astrology is changed forever all the time.

But it's not the first time the planets have been discovered either, making a 12 house, 12 planet, 12 sign system, but as per Linda's writings we often screw it up immensely after the 12th has been discovered and start the wheel all over again from the beginning, oh how quickly we forget...

"Sometimes I laugh, but sometimes I get mad, cause history repeats and it's the same damn plan..."

You know lots more than you often let on.

Yes, it is disconcerting that every sign does not have it's ruler.

And who knows, maybe we'll discover more signs too. I'm not exactly a fan of the 13th sign, Ophiucus, but there is a possibility future astrologers would incorporate it into the current astrological system. In the same way, these new planets could be incorporated into our current astrological system.

I think maybe some more "advanced" characters slip through that filter and that as we get closer to "discovering" it, more begin to feel it, subtly or not. Just personal thoughts.

This, I agree. We need to evolve and develop senses to feel the energy that is surrounding us. However, I don't know if it make sense that we will only be able to feel the energy when we have the evidence of the "physical matter"...?
