Quaoar discovery
The
actual discovery of Quaoar
According
to Chad Trujillo, the discoverer of Quaoar, the first discovery image
was taken at 2002 June 04 05:41:40 (Universal Time = Greenwich, England)
from the Palomar Observatory 48-inch Oschin telescope. view

He continues: "I identified Quaoar in the image at 2002 Jun 04
10:48:08 (Pacific Daylight Time)." view

The most
important of these two charts is the one when Quaoar was identified
from the image, rather than when the image was taken. This identification
was the first contact, or so to speak, the first time that Quaoar
was conciously registered by humanity.
AstroCartography
chart of Quaoar discovery
AstroCartography
is a way of seeing how astrological influences may be focussed in
specific areas on the earth globe. The astrological influences show
up as lines on the maps and there is a tendency for those activated
areas on the maps to somehow bring out the particular energy indicated
by the lines. I made the maps for 2002 Jun 04 10:48:08 (Pacific Daylight
Time)." view

The wonderful
software used is the new Solar Maps version 3. You can buy Solar Maps
v.3 here. It now also comes
with a free learning CD, which with sound and color, describe different
techniques and show you how to use the program.
In the
graphics, for the Quaoar discovery you will note how the line where
Mars is setting (Mars ds), is moving right through the country Iraq.
Mars being the 'God of War', therefore focusses aggression in this
area of the world. In addition to the Mars energy we also find the
presence of Chiron there. Chiron rose over the horizon in Iraq (Chiron
As), at the time when Quaoar was discovered.
Interpreting
the AstroCartography chart
This
Mars/Chiron paran relationship to Iraq can be a very painful experience.
The wounds inflicted may not be easy to handle. This can be a relentless
combination of aggressive pursuit or hunting. The combination may
activate a rather separative or individualistic streak which may break
with earlier alliances or associations, while going its own way and
doing its own thing. It is indeed a warrior combination. It is a combination
that may seek to render impotent the forces of Iraq. It can indicate
a ditch stand by the 6th Ray fanatical and religious energies, which
are leaving us on a grand scale as the 6th ray is being replaced and
superseded by the 7th ray of Ceremonial, Order, Magic and Creative
Manifestation.
Through
the actions taken in relation to this line, the pain may become so
acute and symbolically clear that it eventually will bring deep understanding
as a result and attract and bring forth the healing powers. Esoterically,
there may be found a spiritualisation of the aggressive and warring
nature, but usually only after the difficult experiences gone through.
| From
this may be born a new and higher level of martian expression,
where combat, conflict and ego assertion are becoming a thing
of the past or at last re-oriented. |
Mars
may orient its energies in a different way because of this. Fighting
injustice and becoming a force on the side of human rights. Much may
also come through the extra-terrestrial discoveries that are awaiting
us as we pioneer our solar neighbourhood.
It is
interesting to see how the Mars line is actually going through the
northern part of Iraq, where we find Kurdistan. The Kurds will most
likely play a major part in events, and what I have written above
may apply to them as well. In addition these lines are moving up through
the Kaukasus...
The same
two planetary energies (Mars MC and Chiron IC) are found moving through
South America, hitting the coast line of Venezuela and then moving
through the rest of the continent. Venezuela experience a crisis as
a strike is cutting their oil production. The strike is a protest
against the economic politics of President Chavez. Chavez is using
the army and marines to try to end the strike and get the oil industry
going again.
Oil seem
to be a major factor in the world issues around this time. Maybe nothing
is new in that regard. Oil can be associated to Quaoar because it
is made up of fossile remains from an earlier epoch of time, but is
still very much present in the world affairs of today. Actually the
handling of oil represent how we are still responding to the vibration
of the earlier system. Not until we have finished our contacts with
the principles represented by the oil, will we be able to move on
and rid ourselves of many conflicts that are of past origin. It seems
that humanity have to move through this phase, unable to simply let
it go and drop it under the threshold of consciousness. Maybe this
is also necessary to lift the remains of the earlier system, and make
it possible of re-moulding into the new cycle. Maybe there is another
way to do it, but at this stage of humanity's development, this is
the method employed it seems.
Another
interesting thing is that New York is found at the exact midpoint
of the Mars and Saturn Culminating points (Mars MC and Saturn MC).
These are very severe energies reflecting events in this area. The
Anti-culminating lines of Pluto and Chiron (Pluto IC and Chiron IC)
are also part of this configuration. The correspondingly opposite
lines involving these same planets are found moving through Indonesia...
Let me
add from Solar Maps v.3, what some of these planetary lines can mean
on a personal level:
Mars Setting (Mars Ds); Relationships
become a challenge along this line. The trouble is that your competitive
spirit and self-assertion will be directed into the arena of relationships,
which require more of the spirit of compromise and co-operation. Therefore,
at best, relationships will be marked with a sense of competition.
For instance you may form partnerships which further your sporting
achievements or help you in conflicts with others. It is also possible
that you form and benefit from partnerships if you are a business
such as weapons manufacturing or adventure sports equipment. However
this line is also likely to indicate anger and possibly violence in
your associations with other people. Arguments with other people will
abound. Also your own anger and frustration will be unfairly directed
into your relationship prompting the other person to react. Business
partnerships and legal affairs could also be fraught with aggression.
You would do best to avoid this line unless you are involved in aggressive
or adventurous enterprises.
Chiron
rising (Chiron As); A time of both pain and self-healing can occur
when moving to this line. On the one hand you may experience a painful
situation that triggers memories of childhood wounds. This may be
a memory of a physical wound or of emotional hurts. On the other you
may have the chance to heal a painful situation that has haunted you
for some time? An important relationship in this location may offer
a chance to rekindle the hopes and dreams that you have held close
to your heart since childhood. The significance of this location is
that travelling here gives you a chance to turn around your life,
as long as you remain open to the possibilities. You will be asked
to be honest and fearless in exchange for the opportunity to heal
wounds from the past. Forgiveness of a loved one's actions or self-
forgiveness, may feature strongly. Whatever the circumstances, moving
to this line will help you come to a greater understanding of yourself,
which in itself is a very healing experience.
Mars
Culminate Line (Mars MC); Your ambition peeks along this line.
If you seek more drive and purpose in your professional life then
this is the line to follow, however; if you are wanting to spend more
time in quiet reflection then you would do well to move elsewhere.
This location seems to bring out your personal drive for worldly success.
You have more energy for pursuing your career goals. On a positive
note you are able to achieve your goals and your leadership abilities
coming to the fore. You are forced to take the initiative in your
professional life. You may find yourself drawn to a more dynamic career,
perhaps even a military one. You will meet career challenges head
on with an air of self-confidence. This is a good location for discovering
allies who can help further your career. However, Mars is the planet
of war and moving along this line also has some drawbacks. You may
attract more conflict in your public life. In your efforts to pursue
your goals you may lack patience and understanding for others. You
need to be wary of riding roughshod over colleagues, friends and loved
ones. Otherwise there is a strong possibility of alienating potential
allies and gaining your career ambitions at the expense of your personal
needs. In some cases this line can also indicate meeting an influential
male, perhaps a teacher, leader or colleague. Strong alliances can
be formed when moving along this line.
Saturn
Culminate Line (Saturn MC); If you are wanting to achieve more
in your career through hard work and attention to detail then this
is place for you. However, if you wanting to shrug off your responsibilities
and have a slower pace in life then you would be wise to avoid this
location. Here you will find extra responsibilities and duties in
your chosen profession. In fact your career will relentlessly demand
hard work in order for you to achieve your ambitions. If you try to
escape the requirements of long hours and attention to detail then
you will find yourself living with the consequences. There is no escape.
The good news is that your hard work pays off. Your efforts are recognised
by those in authority in your profession, as well as by your colleagues.
You are able to form worthy connections with influential people and
respected colleagues. Your business investments pay good dividends,
but only those made in solid, long-term business enterprises. This
location is not conducive to overnight success in the business world.
In some cases the extra responsibilities may come in the form of children.
In other words you may become a parent or form a relationship with
stepchildren along this line. If you shoulder your responsibilities
then you are likely to see this line a playing a major positive role
in your life. If, however; you feel overwhelmed by the burdens of
your chosen profession then you would do well to move or to make serious
career choices.
Pluto
Anticulminate Line (Pluto IC); Your personal life undergoes a
significant change when making connections along this line. If you
are simply travelling to this location then an event or person could
change your personal life forever. This could have positive results,
freeing you to express yourself in powerful new ways. However, it
could also have a devastating role in your life. Therefore travelling
to this vicinity is a risk. If you settle in this vicinity then you
can expect upheavals in your domestic life. Family and home affairs
will be a constant challenge. You may even find yourself embroiled
with battles with family members, who stir up deep feelings. You may
be surprised at the intensity of the emotions. Any illness, such as
skin rashes and tooth abscesses, should be viewed in the light of
suppressed emotions fighting their way to the surface. Do not expect
to keep any skeletons hidden in the closet when moving in this direction.
The challenge presented here is to delve deep within you for ways
of approaching domestic affairs with integrity. Real estate purchases
may also be fraught with unforeseen challenges. In some cases you
may discover a strong personal commitment to a form of politics along
this line, one that reflects your own personal convictions.
