#346889 Rhiphonos

One of the most recently named Centaur objects, I think it was discovered in 2009 and named for the first time last year. Correct me if I'm wrong. Does anyone have a clue to it's meaning?

As far as the name goes, it means "casting" or
"throwing" but I could not find too much information about the mythology. Mostly general Centaur info, pulling the Chariot, friendly forest dweller, etc. the name is also spelled Rhiponus.

Please check your charts and see if there is any meaning that fits. Thanks.

I'm guessing you've seen this from Zane, yes?

http://www.zanestein.com/Rhiphonos.htm

And this:

'Positive attitude when faced with a situation of conflict.'
http://transneptunian-astrology.blogspot.com/p/other-interesting-objects.html

And this from Sedgwick:


Rhiphonos - A protector of Dionysis, sprite turned into centaur by Hera. Orbital Period 35.73 yr.

Positive - self affirming, confident, self reliant, always willing to lend a hand, shoulder the load

Negative - afraid of one’s shadow, what’s under the bed, boogymen, selfish and unhelpful, lack of cooperation

Mundane - designated drivers, perimeters, boundaries, security protection, exercise

Ceremonial - “I Am” exercises, affirmation ceremonies, displays of spiritual prowess activities

thanks aubyanne

from the transneptunian site for reference:

" http://transneptunian-astrology.blogspot.com/2014/08/346889-rhiphonos-broad-minded-and.html
"
Greek mythology

The name Rhiphonos (Riphonus) means 'throwing'. He was one of the commanders of the centaurs who joined Dionysus in his campaign against India.

According to I-Ching, the conflict (6th hexagram) occurs when, believing that one has the right, meets resistance. This leads to an open lawsuit infront of an impartial authority that establishs rights and duties with out doubt.

(346889) Rhiphonos combines the impacts and antagonistic conflicts of 15 AU, with the broad-minded and positive attitude of Jupiter.

In front of a situation of conflict, the first thing is to keep calm and listen to the other part with an open mind, and later offer, with positive attitude, smart solutions to solve the conflict, remaining all the time ready to reach an agreement at half way.

I was hoping for personal experience relating to this asteroid, but I did check out the transneptunian site and found some helpful info that to give me a better understanding of Rhiphonos exact conjunct Neptune in my chart and trine AC.

I seem to question everything that is established when it comes to spirituality and our existence. I even question our new age and spiritualist "doctrines" of how we are "supposed to" rethink our own existence. I throw out all imposed methods, new and old, of thinking and challenge my own imagination to come up with a more meaningful logic

('Logos' is conjunct my ascendant).
(58534) Logos, the rational discourse, the mystery of life. the Greek word for 'word' or 'reason' when discovered was conjunct 'zoe', the Greek word for 'life'. The sophists used the term 'logos' to mean discourse, and Aristotle applied the term to rational discourse.

Also, I stumbled across another centaur making a grand trine with Logos/AC and Rhiphonos in my chart, the unnamed #33128 http://transneptunian-astrology.blogspot.com/search/label/%2858534%29%20Logos
"The creative thinking of (33128) 1998 BU48"
It all ties in, so thanks again, aubyanne
