Haumea is a RECENTLY DISCOVERED dwarf planet about the size of Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. It was named in 2008. It is one of the most remarkable objects in our solar system for two reasons – firstly, it is egg shaped and spins extremely rapidly end-over-end at a rate of 3.9 earth hours. This rapid rotation enables it to maintain a state of equilibrium. Secondly, it is made of pure stone covered in crystalline water , with one red spot– this is incredibly strange as it is technically is not warm enough to have water in crystal form on its surface, due to its great distance from the sun. Yet it does.

Haumea is named after the Hawaiian creatrix goddess of fertility. Her many chidren sprang from different parts of her body (including her brain). The planet has 8 moons which correspond to her 8 children which are represented by the 8 Hawaiian islands Haumea birthed from various points on her body. Haumea herself takes many different forms and has experienced many different rebirths. Her name means “sacred birth”. In astrology, Haumea represents the ability to give birth in a special way – in essence - the ability to produce a pure, clear, fresh , new state of consciousness; and the ability to birth soul awareness of an unadulterated nature. The purity element is derived from the fact that Haumea is made up of smooth pure rock and pure ice – unadulterated, fundamental elements in a rapidly spinning state of equilibrium. The “birthing” aspect is derived not only from Haumea herself, but also due to the egg-shape of the planet.

Haumea is also associated with the incarnation of souls over many lifetimes and through this, represents the continuance of the soul as well as the ability to maintain awareness of one’s soul nature from lifetime to lifetime. Haumea teaches a wholistic view of life – integrating biological and ecological awareness with the sacredness of life and an attunement to embracing our sojourn on earth with the awareness of being an evolving soul. In this way she represents a re-birth in consciousness for humanity, which supports greater spiritual awareness about the fundamental primordial forces of life. Heumea supports action to reorient the world’s militaristic and destructive use of power and resources into a nurturing force that protects life, home and family and aids humanity’s emergence into a spiritually and primordial aware state of being. It symbolizes a new world view, particularly in relation to spiritual and religious beliefs. At a personal level, Haumea inspires the application of our personal attributes and resources for the same principles. She is a focus point through which we connect wit the Mother Focus in the Divine energy, the point where spiritual birth or rebirth can be accessed and experienced, bringing greater spiritual awareness and attunement. She opens doors within us.

Where Haumea is strong you will find :

• Searching for spiritual answers, greater spiritual understanding
• Willingness to change religion if the path leads that way
• Extraordinary versatility
• Insight and quickness, innovation
• A sense of the ideal, and worshipping nature as revealing the divine
• Fantasy and mythology as a vehicle
• A dislike of irony and skepticism
• Mystical awareness
• Pantheism
• Seeking to understand the spirit within/ underlying human beings
• Celebration of the divine, the creator
• Earnest, vivid nature, alive with spirit.
• Nurturer and supporter of genius.
• Interest in classical and metaphysical studies.
• Having a sense of the unseen, a type of knowing
• The Divine mother
• Knowing that all religions lead to the same realization of the divine.

Personally, I reasonate a lot with this energy as Haumea falls exactly on my Sun/Moon midpoint (where I integrate heart and soul, point of inner marriage) and is also within 1 degree conjunct my Mars and Uranus and the asteroid "Spirit" in my Natal chart.

From what I noticed, I'm not sure I agree with the mainly spiritual aspect that I found bestowed upon her everywhere. First of all, Hawaii is a volcanic archipelago and Haumea is associated by the locals with volcanic power. Therefore to me it seems that she is the Hawaiian version of Hephaestus/Vulcano. I guess we can confer her more earth-awareness than Hephaestus/Vulcano has, but Haumea still seems to point out to tremendous power used to create or reshape the world.

I tried to find Haumea on some personalities' ASC or MH (people who don't have any other planets around) in order to get a better understanding of its nature. I found only two (a person and a nation), but they create a pretty strong picture in my opinion: both on Mark Zuckerberg's chart and on the U.S. chart, Haumea is conjunct the ASC (orb around 1) with no other planets close by. Both Zuckerberg and the U.S. as a nation can be seen as immense forces which changed the world and created a new "dimension" to the old ways of life.

To me (as I mentioned mine is in an otherwise empty house 10, 8 degrees away from my Virgo Midheaven), Haumea feels extremely driven, though more flexible and less dark than Pluto. I would most definitely not step on bodies to get ahead in my career, but I do have a very strong need for professional recognition.

Any thoughts?

Involved with Human Baby Birthing Experiences?

HAUMEA was active during the forceps-delivery of my first-born, who came into this world as a frank Breech. She had been in correct position until a last minute flip during the night just-before going into Labor. Had a midwife, who then transported us to the hospital for delivery. We very narrowly escaped a C-section!

In 1900, Haumea was at 29Gem00. Presently it's at 20Lib35, so it's not possible for you to have it in Sagittarius in your natal chart.

This are the Pluto-Haumea comparative sizes and orbits: Haumea (yellow orbit) and Pluto (red orbit), relative to that of Neptune (grey orbit), as of May 2009. Almost no one discounts Pluto's influence and I find hard to believe that Haumea's isn't somewhat similar in magnitude, if not character.

I don't have the desire to check asteroids right now, but Haumea is sesquiquadrate my Sun, sextile Moon, and trine Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter.

What does "release of my Jupiter Yod" mean? Sorry, not only I don't have any yod, I don't even have a quincunx in my chart, so I have no idea how it feels.

I'd be curious how you experience Haumea, because there isn't much written about it.

Haumea Retrograde technically opposes my Mars too. I have a bunch of aspects to my Mars that assume it's in Pisces, because my Mars is only 7 minutes into Aries.

Hi Gabby,

That's very interesting. I've never seen this aspect before, but Moon in 12th should make you extremely emphatic, possibly psychic. Haumea conjunct would strengthen these qualities to extreme. I also think that while the Moon would make difficult for you to cope with real life, Haumea would give you the energy to do it. I think, all in all, this is a positive aspect, especially since I read that an unaspected Moon can be difficult, to say the very least. So, I don't think your Moon is lonely anymore.

Dejanira conj. Moon should make you prone to abuse, but I believe Haumea would help you fight back. I'm not very familiar with the other asteroids.

It would be interesting to check Haumea out in progressions when it crosses an angle and see what happens then. That should shine more light on its true nature.

So, according to my chart, I have to have some experience with Haumea. I'm not sure what the experience I have with it is. Before I became a Christian, however, I did experience a spiritual emptiness that led me onto the path for spiritual understanding and answers.

Hi Lerena,

The Moon square should bring conflict between your emotions and how you use your energy--you feel like you want you do one thing, but for some reason you end up doing something conflicting... at least until you find your true path

The Mars opposition may bring some level of conflict between your raw/physical energy and a more nuanced creative energy.

I do feel ppl and know them without them telling me anything. I can feel where ppl are vulnerable and in pain, usually because they are denying or ignoring their truest needs.
I can feel the holes in ppl. If they grew up without a dad or whatever it was in their childhood that has left them limping along emotionally.

I used to test this to see if what I felt was correct...I'd meet someone and let myself feel them. Then I'd ask them about their childhood...I couldn't believe how my instincts where always dead on. I started trusting myself after that.

What kind of things do you think we would see in transits? I'll check for transits in my chart.

posted August 04, 2015 04:28 PM            

Btw...Huamea doesn't move much in progression, slower than Pluto, so transits are better!

Awe, I just looked up my guys Huamea, it's exact on my Juno.

posted August 04, 2015 05:16 PM            

Yes, I believe Haumea in the 1st house should be very powerful. Alas, that won't happen to me for another 40 years or so.

t-Haumea + ASC = children Haumea was a creation and birth goddess so this fits perfectly!!

t-Haumea + n-Venus should bring a renewal of your love for others. But careful not to put too much stress on what other people believe about how you look. I think Haumea would exacerbate the need to be regarded as "beautiful." Just love yourself more.

About Haumea vs. Pluto: I feel Haumea is more optimistic than Pluto, and less dark. Pluto feels to me very overbearing; Haumea seems maybe more "considerate," though also more energetic.

Likely you won't see Haumea in regular progressions, but try to see what happened in tertiary progressions (I'm a HUGE fan of tertiary progressions). Check out what happened when Haumea was exactly (within 1 degree) conjunct your angles in TP. You probably have experienced this once or twice, at least.

Thank you for sharing, Gabby! This is fascinating.
