New (Dwarf) Planets, Eris, Sedna, Centaurs & Kuiper Belt Objects

" The International Astronomical Union reclassified our solar system and it's bodies. Pluto and Ceres now lead a grouping of "dwarf planets." Larger bodies similar to Pluto (minor planet 134340) in nature can be classified as Plutinos. More details to come and changes to be updated below. For now, consider Ceres, Pluto's companion, Charon, and the newcomer Eris, minor planet 136199 and formerly known as 2003 UB313, to be dwarf planets. Given strict interpretation of the guidelines, later, Pallas, Vesta, Hygeia, Ixion, Varuna, Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, 136108 (2003 EL61), 136472 (2005 FY9), 55565 (2002 AW197), 55636 (2002 TX300) and several others could also be granted dwarf planet status."

Before we set to explain the principle underlying the truthfulness of astrology, we have to state clearly: planets do not influence man on the premises of Newtonian mechanics!

  • Trans-Saturn planets - the initiates of success -

    'Many contemporary astrologers today mostly agree with the concept that the outer planets affect them in both their birth chart and by transits to sensitive points in the birth chart. However, it is my opinion that this cannot be so. The reason behind my thinking is quite simple. Who among the many readers of this page can readily fly an airliner? Or control a multinational organization? Successfully lead an army of soldiers into battle? The point is these feats are possible but unless you have had the training and experience the probability of simply doing so is beyond your reach.'
