ack in the last Dark Age, and bythat I mean before everyone got

computers and an Internetconnection, would-be astrologers who

wished to see celebrity birthcharts mightbuy a large white book at their local occuit

bookstore called A Circle Book of Charts.'

Those were hard times, when you

couldn't google a celebrity birthdate or go

to astro.com and get the wheel displayed

in seconds - you had to trudge to a libraryor own an encyclopedia, and do all the

math yourself. Much easier to have Circle

Book, or so I thought.I recall being sorely disappointed in

Shakespeare's chart as portrayed there. Itseemed so sparse. Then I noticed thatwhoever edited Circle Book for unknovm

reasons decided to include in the chart

only planets known in 1564. That's right,Shakespeare lacked Uranus, Neptune,

and Pluto! So anyone whojudgedShakespeare's genius by that chart could

be forgiven ifthey started looking at Sir

Francis Bacon or Edward de Vere as the

real author of Shakespeare's plays.

Do we really think Shakespeare could

be accurately analyzed without Uranus,

the higher octave of Mercury? 2 At the

time I had no ephemeris for the r5oos, so

I could not look up what was missing, butit should be no surprise to learn thatShakespeare had a near-exact T / V,with the Neptune end conjunctVenus.

The man who understood Human Nature

so well and portrayed it so astonishingly

in play after play would have thatopposition. It didn't matter that Uranus

and Neptune were not yet known.

Nowfast-forward to this century, the

century of Pluto's Disenfranchisement byScience. I bet no astrologers on Earth

have stopped using Pluto in their charts.

What weL,ld you say if ! toLd

yeu there are mCIre Flutos?

rrsrLaa Ysrt rrJ Iru.rLrrruNL.

Perhaps some felt a little less enthusiasm

to find out what Eris meant, but isn'tPluto safely entrenched in your planetary

toolbox?

What would you say if I told you there

are more Plutos? And that any celestial

object approaching Pluto's size must be

taken into account as highly meaningful

and useful - maybe even critical for a

total picture of our psychological makeup,

the roles we play in society, and the

Earth's unfolding history of events?

Just as Eris must be a key player insolar system business since it is virtuallythe same size if not slightly bigger thanPluto, so too we must pay attention tosomething considered the third-largestobject in the Kuiper Belt. I'm talkingabout Makemake, a moonless world

orbiting the sun every 31o years. Tocompare, Pluto orbits the sun in 248years and is z,3o6km in diameter.

Makemake's diameter is alound r,5ookm.Co-discoverer Dr. Mike Brorvn of Caltech

and his team spotted Makemake onphotographic plates on March 3r, 2oo5, aferv days after Easter. When the discoverylvas announced the following July, itsprovisional name rvas zoo5FY9, itsnickname Easterbunny. After the hooplaof Eris's failure to be judged a planet inAugust 2006 and the distastefi:I creationof the Dwarf Planet category, it lvas timeto name this large Drvarf. Brown wishedto rctain the Easter-ness of the discoverydate in his choice of a name, and limitedin nomenclature to creation gods, he

selected the Easter Island creator god

Makemake.

So what can Makemake do for us?

What does it mean? Some have

attempted plumbing the meaning ofMakemakethrough its mythologr. Such a

tack hasn't always proved fruitfirl. Whereare machines, technolory, and intellect inthe myth of Uranus? Where is theconnection to all living things in the

stories of Neptune? You must stretch and

use Neptune's sea rulership to puli in thatgreat synbol ofthe collective unconscious.

Regardless, early attempts at diviningM's meaning have focused on the mythicMakemake as chief god of Easter Island.A]ison Chester-l,ambert rvondered if thedistance of Easter Island could mean thatMakemake was remote from our Western

mentality and might onlybe useful inmundane chafis. e Chester-l,ambertfocused on the sea-faring naturr oftheEaster Islanders and their eventual

disappearance, to point out Makemake'spresence in the charts of Somali piracy

problems and ecological disasters,

arguing the latter might be similar to the

one that rviped out the Easter Island

inhabitants. She suggests that Makemake

could indicate a talent for navigation,

spread ofdisease, and the grorvth/reduction ofpopulations by disaster ordisease. Those qualities don't seem tohave a singular theme, although I mustgrant Makemake some connection with

I knew in that instant thatlwould find Makemake

prominentty in Dali's chart,

and lwas not disappointed

piracy and disasters as I'll point out later.

On her rveb page "Introduction to the

Drvarf Planets, " Chester-Lambert

continuesrvith the sea theme byproposing that "fishing quotas and fishingstocks" are Makemakean. + Again, it ishard to see an underlying connection

behveen fishing, piracy, population

control, and disasters.

Mauriee Fernandez also postulates an

ecological connection to Makemake, and

anallzes its presence in the U.S. gulf oilspill as one example. 5 F-ernandez remindsus that Makemake was a bird god, whose

devotees lvould climb the steep cliffs on

the island to obtain eggs, a difficult rite ofpassage. Focusing on the egg as a key

sy,rnbol, he notes that Ivlakemake's

naming came just before the zoo8Olyrnpics, rvhich took place in China's

nervlyfinished, egg-shaped NationalCenter for Performing Arts. Egg

symbolism and China (and their state-mandated fertilitypolicies) lead him tosuggest Makemake has much to do withfertility. From there, Fernandez meditates

on the fate ofthe Eastern Islanders, andseems to echo Chester-Iambert's idea

that population growth (the fertiligy'eggtheory) and decimation (the fate of Easter

Island's humans) are important clues toMakemake's role.

Whije these are admirable attempts,

theyfall short of giving us the gist ofMakemake. Afterviewing over 1,2oo

charts of people and events for five years,

I would argue that Easter the Christian

holiday is abetter hint at Makemake's

role than Easter the pagan holiday ofbunnies and eggs, or the unfortunate fate

of sea-faring Easter Isianders. Myexperience plugging Makemake intocharts has revealed an exciting common

thread - one that has more to do lvithshock and surprise, the emotions that the

early-rising rvomen had that first Easter

rvhen, as the Bible describes, they arile:and saw the empty tomb of Jesus.

In case y,ou think my examples migh:include major contacts with Uranus,which traditionally signals'shock and

surprise', I will first present individualsrvho are shocking and creatively

surprising in their orvn particular fieid-..

but rvho do not have Uranus in majoraspect with Sun, Mercury, Mars, or (ir-r

this is because his inventions were on a

Benjamin Franklin (Janr7, 17o6 NS, ro:3oa.m., Boston, MAtr), OAM, Y EM. This

founding father of the USA was quite a

character in his personal life, but perhaps

his shocking womanizing, even in old age,

was not so uncommon for his time.

Literally shocking, however, was his

clever invention, the lightning rod.

Franklin also reportedly captured

electricity using a kite with a key attached

to it. While Franklin does have I / [<,which could account for his inventiveness,

and @/ lg if you allow almost a 1oo orb,

Franklin's work with electricity is more

akin to Edison's, and therefore these twoinventors confirm and support Makemake's

daim to being a type of supercharged Uramrs.

Why would we need'another'Uranus,you might ask. Most astrologers wouldprobably agree that Uranus' arrival was

the answerto too much Saturn - Uranus'

discoveryheralded the American and

French revolutions and the rise oftheIndividual, and it ushered in centuries ofthe key discoveries ofscience. Are we tounderstand that this new upstart,

Makemake, makes Uranus looktame,even saturnine?

Ofcourse no one would go that far, butif you think about it, isn't Uranus the

mainstream'universal mind'? What ofthose ideas that lie beyond themainstream? If Uranus is physics,

Makemake is quantum physics, literally.When German scientist WernerHeisenberg (V271tu15 3M21U 11) inr9z5 declared that quantum particles

behaved in a manner that was bothparticle-like and wavelike, Uranus cndMakemake were square one another, in

Pisces and Gemini respectively. AlbertEinstein ( 9 t6'f Sg dM teT+g), who had

the nerve to bring us warping spacetimejust 20 years earlier, was outraged, callingquantum mechanics absurd and unbelierable.

Of course he was upset. At the time, histheories were accepted and mainstream,

and QM was out-of-the-box thinking. The

As much as astrologers have sniffed at

the idea that Pluto is not a planet,

grouping the Kuipers together provides

valuable clues as to what these new large

objects are about. Pluto and cohorts are

outside the mainstream, outside the last'social'gas giant. Pluto tries to controi animanipulate because he has no societalll-granted power. Makemake is Intellectthat is outside society, outside the

mainstream. Sometimes thissupercharged Intellect is able to bringbenefits to society, from the lightning rod

at one end ofthe spectrxm to quantum

mechanics at the other. At other times,you have outbreaks of 'crad, ideas orenergr that cannot be easily absorbed and

are therefore labeled criminal or at least

undesirable by the society witnessing it.This theory pans out, as Makemake is

found in shocking crimes and startlingsituations, and people with Makemake do

surprise us with, if not criminal acts,

certainly unexpected behavior.
