During a relatively rare interval in which all the classical planets are direct - about 9 per cent of the time last century - astronomical discoveries in the Kuiper Belt registered a special ping in my mind about our changing realizations of our solar system. Astronomers are busy checking out the far edge of our known solar system. This year so far six previously unknown objects have been posted on the Minor Planet Centers listing of centaurs and scattered disk objects. Half of these bodies fall into a most unusual category that likely deserves our attention.
Nearby at the Kitt Peak Astronomical Observatory the local natives refer to the astronomers as “long eyes.” (There’s a nice photo tour of Kitt Peak on my website) The name implies the ability to look deep into the sky with their telescopes. Not only look and see, but comprehend that which is remarkable. With long eyes new Kuiper objects appear... and many of these objects could change collective perceptions in a big way.
Three of the scattered Kuiper objects first consciously observed this year are orbitally remarkable, and there are a bunch more of them. The discoveries in recent years of Eris and Sedna have blown us away in terms of how far planets can range and still be in gravitational capture by our Sun. Some of the Kuiper Belt Objects with their extreme distances from the Sun have demolished our limited conceptions of the boundaries of our solar system. Several of these have been reported in these posts over the years. But it occurred to me that a most unusual subset of these objects requires our more detailed attention - especially as the people of the world struggle to include vast new social complexities and mind-boggling technologies and make sense of them in soulfully significant ways.
In the Kuiper Belt there are objects that not only possess vast orbital periods and extend deep into space, scratching into profound dimensions of consciousness; there are objects with a deep reach into the inner realms of our solar system and come well inside the boundaries of classical planets.
It would appear that these objects stimulate the influences of the classical planets they intersect - long associated with traditional real world circumstances and the psychological unfoldment of a person dealing with the mundane. And they do this while encouraging the psyche and spirit to follow their lead and retreat into what can only be surmised to be the great collective unconscious that lies beyond what the previous perceptions of solar system breadth. How exciting! We now have a set of messenger-like ambassadors aiding us to keep perspective about the demands of life while insisting we stretch out to use previously unknown dimensions of consciousness. While keeping real world priorities at the top of the list, these bodies introduce us to the edge of galactic consciousness. Is this cool or what?
Hundreds of pages likely could be written on this topic, but this is a cyber-post and the polls indicate attention to this is short and life is busy. So following is a bullet point listing of these galactic ambassadors. To qualify for this list, the object must come into our solar system not further from the Sun than Uranus, plus or minus a slight margin of error. If the realms of Pluto and Eris are included, this list significantly expands.
To add meaning to these bodies, I am noting the inner solar system planetary range the body achieves. As well, I am including the position of the body’s heliocentric node and a summary sentence to define a mission statement of sorts. While much of the orbital data for these objects is preliminary, the nodal positions tend to remain stable. And since this is something that has just come to my attention, the summary of meaning is new and subject to increasing development and clarity.
While coming to influence our classical planets (and Uranus), all of the following bodies exceed the orbit of Eris and her 557-year period. Four of these objects retreat past the depth of Sedna, leaving her 12,642 year orbit in the dust!
Here we go (Object Name, Planet Range, Heliocentric Node, Insight)
2013 CV82: Comes in between Jupiter - Saturn / 17 Leo 18 - Apply leadership based upon experience and cultivated competence. Be confident exploring that which is yet unknown. Others expect leadership beyond talking points.
2013 BL76: Comes in between Jupiter - Saturn, extends beyond Sedna / 0 Libra 12 - Sort out disparities between relationships reality and expectations. Use the “disappointment” gap to create plans for creating additional contentment that inspires impeccable commitment.
2013 AZ60: Comes in between Jupiter - Saturn / 17 Pisces 42 - Use compassion when addressing the hardships of others, maintaining clarity that circumstances sometimes are overpowering. Apply a “do unto others” attitude when aiding others through hardships and downtrodden times.
2012 LP26: Comes in between Jupiter - Saturn extends beyond Sedna / 4 Virgo 6 - Focus on the idea that others may not know the “job description” you have in your mind for them. Execute impeccable plans for all activities, merging details with the big picture. Keep in mind ebb and flow, systolic-diastolic properties.
2012 DR30: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus extends beyond Sedna / 11 Pisces 24 - Appreciative inner rebelliousness, weirdness, love of the avant garde, and apply uniquely creative talents to assuage concerns that the apple cart is being upset.
2011 FY9: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus / 4 Scorpio 12 - Dogged determination to invoke change fails to serve if dogmatic or evangelical. True progress is evolution that exceeds expectations.
2010 JJ124: Comes to the orbit of Uranus / 28 Sagittarius 48 - Originality and abstract thought overlay upon linear logic templates to produce brilliant innovation. Those templates may need to be turned to some angle or twisted just a bit.
2010 GW147: Comes to the orbit of Jupiter / 13 Aquarius 18 - Concepts that further must include consideration of all long range consequences, the broadest spectrum of human kind possible, and unlimited humanitarianism.
2010 BK118: Comes in between Jupiter - Saturn / 26 Virgo 00 - Realize the limits of conscientiousness, apply impeccable time management and shun no detail, especially the last bit of spit and polish. There’s a lot to be said for sheen and brilliant luster.
2009 MS9: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus / 10 Scorpio 18 - A fixity of purpose must blend flexibility and the ability to deal with life’s knuckle balls, and also with the will of those with opposing agendas.
2007 TU431: Comes to the orbit of Uranus / 15 Libra 42 - The generous appreciation of strangeness and uniqueness is best applied equally to others and oneself.
2004 VM131 Comes to the orbit of Uranus / 15 Scorpio 54 - When appreciating oddballs and eccentrics, emulate their positive qualities to ensure the urge to change them can be resisted.
2003 QM112: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus / 28 Leo 19 - Courage and confidence become cornerstones of shifting consciousness by example, by innovation, and the ability to withstand the tests of time. The best light bulbs of innovation could take a decade to turn on.
2000 SQ331: Comes to the orbit of Uranus / 26 Gemini 00 - The urge for objectivity can not be afforded the luxury of persisting in derailing duplicities.
(353222) 2009 YD7: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus / 6 Leo 06 - Bold strokes may paint pictures with greater ferocity, but cannot be swiped with contempt, disrespect or disregard. Bold and brilliant overrides bold and defiant.
(336756) 2010 NV1: Comes to the orbit of Saturn / 16 Leo 12 - Stating the facts of accomplishment is not boastful. When ego urges transform into soulful confidence, the strongest results appear.
(241097) 2007 DU112: Comes to the orbit of Saturn / 7 Libra 06 - Every interaction is a relationship. There are relationships between people - personal, impersonal and professional. and relationships between each person and every thing, including trees, the sky and the waters and all creatures. Nothing is inert. Every thing is connected.
(127546) 2002 XU93: Comes to the orbit of Uranus / 0 Cancer 18 - Adjusting the aura to energetically match changing surroundings creates a sensation of always being home on the planet and no longer a stranger in a strange land (or undesirable planet).
(87269) 2000 OO67: Comes to the orbit of Uranus and extends beyond Sedna / 22 Leo 24 - Far-fetched is far-reaching, however the fetching of that which was once out of reach by a fearless innovator, improves the grasp of everyone.
(65489) Ceto 2003 FX128: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus / 22 Virgo 00 - While it is said the devil is in the details, actually the creation of heavenly manifestations requires attention to all considerations and each dastardly detail. It is better to maintain oversight than to shift responsibility and attention and in so doing, lose impeccability.
(29981) 1999 TD10: Comes in between Saturn - Uranus / 4 Libra 24 - All’s fair in love and innovation. Cooperation, inclusion, fairness and respect for the participation, talent and time of all involved create the ultimate in team building.
Again, the above are collective thoughts that do not include the current positions of these objects, nor natal locations of these bodies.
As time allows, I’ll develop details about the far-reaching Kuiper bodies that reach in between Neptune, Pluto and Eris as well. As noted, that list is significantly longer and both lists continue to grow with new discoveries. Hopefully this introduction sends a sort of galactic text message that the ambassadors of deeper consciousness are reaching in. Stay on the lookout. Plan to download the galactic mental links.
