A spiritual awakening is a call from the inner Self to come into the light. Yet many who start on that journey find that it often first entails a time of personal confusion, loneliness, cutting ties with the norms of society, a search for transcendence, and often having to come to terms with truths around extremes of dark and light. The dark is simply those thing

that are not part of our awareness yet; it is the lack of clarity, denial, the blindspot, the stuffed-away sorrow, the delusion, etc. Some times it is the great losses of life, that can be a blessing in disguise. And healing from the heartbreak, can lead to an accelerated motion and fast track to a more meaningful life…

After having studied the bodies mentioned above in great depth, it is easy to see how the energies of these planets bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose and quantum leaps into our awareness.

For we cannot continue to be in ignorance of the powerful messages they carry; considering the many crises the planet are currently facing, that are actually connected to the symbolic language of the objects, the aspects they make, and the aspect patterns they are part of.

Neptune is a very important planet in understanding the trans-Neptunian objects, and especially with Neptune in the last decan of home sign Pisces.

In metaphysics, Neptune is emblematic of divine potential and cosmic consciousness; the trans-Neptunian objects are what happens beyond having found joyful self-love connected with one’s sovereign divinity within… as it relates to energy dynamics and relationship in the outer world, that change as those with a heart of gold embrace higher consciousness, and how that clashes with ‘old consciousness’ individuals,

especially mass consciousness ideologies and its gravity pull. It’s the start of a departure from the limitations and strong gravitational pull of human ego mind, and this is why the higher and lower expression of the TNOs can be so huge… It’s the rage of an envier and the blindsiding jealousy towards those of honourable character, and also punishment for those who break glass ceilings and leave mass consciousness ideologies, for soul sovereignty, as is witnessed in Eris, Haumea and Sedna energies for example. See the Neptune blog for more on this particular subject.

Two of the TNOs carry strong symbolism around being a star/light, creating stars or bringing light to the world with great LIFE FORCE VITALITY. Varda’s fictional mythology have multiple meanings, around being symbolic of divinity. Stars are often seen as referenced as divine light. Stars also represent hope, faith and guidance etc. The other is Eris, that in the lower expression carry issues of fame, clout-chasing, being a superstar, and desiring fortune and excelling at greatness in a public manner. Eris higher expression is being a light in the dark giving hope to those in need and those of great EFFERVESSCENCE. It’s the magic of compassion, being motivated to help others who are facing a time of winter, when you have an abundance to give. It is having hope, faith, joy, and giving without desiring a return, that is a true gift to humanity. Two other TNOs carries issues around enlightenment and living a divinely

abundant life that brings justice and fairness for all; Quaoar and Varuna. To this day, the qualities of Varuna are still highly venerated in the Hindu faith.

In general the higher expression of all the TNOs combined, stands for truth, striving to do right by Self and others, being compassionate, insightful, and having keen senses. Insight into the rules of life, that results in a life worth living, that brings genuine fulfilment.

In the higher expression they carry the brilliance of being soul connected, having a strong moral compass, and being in clarity, contented and aligned. The people they represent know right from wrong, and they are ‘just’ individuals who may hold a revered position in society, for particular authentic qualities that they carry, and ability to make right decisions. They are grounded, loyal, devoted and committed, and people around them may actually be afraid of their attributes or characteristics, because they are so insightful, wise and clever. These people are recognised to stand strong for something significant; that is right. They are known to be empathetic, intuitive and knowledgeable, which are fine qualities that may intimidate others, because they are progressive no-nonsense change-makers who - by the nature of high frequency energy - may not tolerate lazy, sloth, ignorant, stuck or stagnant energies in others.

This is the reason why those around them - who don’t want change - may become extremely defensive and antagonistic at their presence, or towards them. Adversaries are not pressed by nobodies; it is the

people who highly impress them and who outshine them, who gets them bothered and stirred up. It’s either their morals, work ethics, integrity, truth, values or energy, but whatever the point of contention is, it is clear that the higher expression stand for greatness and excellence. This is part of what give rise to the jealousy and envy aspect, which is most pertinent to Eris’s mythology, but also present in many of the others, perhaps due to the strong Sagittarius commonality… The higher expression individuals are stars that capture the hearts of many, because they are sincere, kind and take action wholeheartedly, which is what attracts the swindlers, haters or enviers. They are committed to their dreams and goals and this attracts both those who want to collaborate, and those who may want to come with shenanigans, to get under their skin, to sabotage divine connectedness.

In the higher expression, the energies these people carry, may make them a force to be reckoned with, and some adversaries may come to see that they cannot blow out their flame, for they have an inner strength, resilience and soul connectedness quality, that cannot be denied, if one is truthful about it.

The lower expression of the trans-Neptunian objects and Kuiper belt objects express as DOUBT, which is a mental state in which the mind remains suspended between two or more contradictory propositions, unable to be certain of any of them. Wikipedia describes DOUBT on an emotional level as indecision between belief and disbelief. It may involve uncertainty, distrust or lack of conviction on certain facts, actions, motives, or decisions. Doubt can lead to a life ‘unlived’, as it can result in delaying or rejecting relevant action out of concern for making mistakes or missing opportunities. Partial or intermittent negative reinforcement can create an effective CLIMATE OF FEAR and perpetual DOUBT. Distrust is a way of not trusting any one party too much in a situation in fear of grave risk to the self. In relationship, it is commonly present when there is a balance of power that may be off, where an individual constantly have to "trust, but verify" to make sure their reality is still in place, or not a false sense of reality...

When there is no FAITH or knowing that one can trust one’s own situation or abundant energy for providence and spiritual sustenance, doubt becomes a fear that makes relationships with others highly unstable; for there will be power struggles for control, in order to feel safe, or secure, or hoarding of money to get that feeling of being provided for. This makes for a life that is limited and stunted, where one do not have the CONFIDENCE to expand, grow or venture outside of one’s safe boundaries. It translates into scarcity mentality and frequently being in COMPETITION for resources, opportunities etc. and being in relationship situation that inevitably keeps the deep FEAR alive. Distrust in relation, the fear of taking risks, and the fear of undesired effects or significant loss becomes a lived reality, in the form of ANXIETY, that can lead to significant MENTAL HEALTH issues.

The lower expressions all seem to involve some swindling; to take away the good life from another, for a selfish gain, due to running on empty, and in ego swelling. The lower expression TNOs all seem to involve sociopathic behaviour of some kind. A “sociopath” has little regard for another person's emotions, rights, or experiences. They lack remorse for their actions, and they act in ways that show no regard for others, including lying, cheating, and manipulating. Some people with this condition aren't very sly

about their conduct. Others are quite deceptive and skilled at it. To put others in mental entrapment; victimised and betrayed.

The common thread is that the lower expression don’t want the higher expression to be loved, supported or valued by others. They don’t want the higher expression happy, which is why they exert control over them, to influence them into a negative state. Why? Because the lower expression isn’t happy.

For Eris, this may include the copycats, the enviers, the scammers and the false mask wearers; to finesse others and cut them deep by stealing their emotional nourishment, due to skewed perceptions. It’s the admiration whoring, like Snow White’s stepmother - the Evil Queen - who wanted the sole admiration of the mirror, and was willing to kill to keep it, although she was not deserving of it. For Sedna, these may be the greedy, opportunistic individuals who pull the strings of government, to legislate in big business’ favour, disadvantaging other groups of people. For Haumea, these may be the adversaries in positions of authority, who abuse their position to prevent growth and abundance for others. For Varda, it may be the antagonistic individuals represented by Melkor/Morgoth, who destroy the security and foundation of other’s creations, with their jealous mind control; not wanting others to have any kind of light, nor abundance. Causing deliberate injustice for others. For plenty of examples, see the articles under the various TNOs and KBOs in the menu. The heart of the matter is, that those who carry the higher expression energy, tend to have a mastery of Self, that operates like a ‘divine intervention’, that gets a response from others energetically… They have cultivated being in right relationship with themselves first and foremost, and this draws a jarring response in an energetic exchange, because it stirs something in another. Either to elevate and match the higher frequency, or to become resistant. It is the light that the higher expression carry, that shine a light on the unacknowledged darkness of the lower expression; that makes

them scurry from their place of comfortable denial or distortion of truth, into great discomfort… This is why many may prefer to ignore the significant soul-level lessons that the TNOs teach; to get out of their comfort zone, to stop the habitual swindling of another, energy harvesting, or some foolishness in relation, that may be too hard to stop doing…

The light illuminates and eventually eliminates the dark mind distortions and perversions… and looking at stark truths and realities, isn’t for the faint of heart…

Alchemically, the sword stands for the purification, justice and discriminating power of intellect that divine authority brings, in cutting off the rot.

The TNOs are all about becoming consciously aware of truth, and what is morally right. Gaining self-knowledge and empowerment, that brings healing and emotional- and spiritual transformation.

The Hindu concept of Dharma is an appropriate description of the higher expression energy of many of the brightest, named and most well known TNOs and KBOs.

Hinduism describes dharma as the natural universal laws, that when observed, enables humans to live a content, fulfilled and happy life, and to save themselves from degradation or suffering by their own wrong choices. Dharma has a moral law component, combined with spiritual discipline, that guides one's life. Hindus consider dharma the very foundation of life, which is very much reflected in the energy behind KBO Varuna as is detailed in The Pentagram of Change online course. It means "that which holds" the people of this world and the whole creation. Dharma is the "law of being" without which things cannot exist. Dharma is the path of righteousness and living one's life according to codes that are universally applicable as wholesome and good.

Two other articles on this website describes why energetic detachment, strong boundaries and discernment are common threads in Sedna, Haumea, Eris and Varda’s astromythologies. To have prosperity, they all had to separate themselves from another’s foolishness or delusion, in some form of boundary. In the higher expression, they all have elements of being sovereign beings and in self-mastery.

Transits of the trans-Neptunian objects in relation to other planets, angles or points in the chart activates the energy, either for the collective, or for one particular person, as it relates to their own birth chart. Some of the astromythological stories, like Haumea, Eris and Sedna, contain stories of having a particular challenging experience, and then afterwards having a victory. For others, like Ixion or Gonggong, it is less clear how a positive expression or extrapolation of the experience can be had. Yet none the less, both types of experiences, tend to lead to a ‘going within’ experience that may be very scary and unpleasant. Some people are afraid of what the TNOs and KBOs bring to the table, because the experience often leads to a deep dive into the ‘underworld’, which means to go within to seek healing, understanding of the experience and recovery.

In May 2020, the transiting South Node was conjucnt Ixion, also making contact with personal planets in the content creator’s birth chart, and low and behold there was an experience of a massive betrayal. It is often in hindsight that we see how some of the most painful events in our lives, coincide with a conjunction to a trans-Neptunian object, in relation to the natal/birth chart. By understanding the energies of the TNOs, astrologers can become more skilled at helping their clients understand some of their most traumatising and hurtful experiences, move out of victimhood, and towards finding personal healing. See the disclaimer.

The old, lower expression energies are a result of the intense desire to return back to Self, to be whole again, and to have a process of fusion again, with Self.

When this process of fusion begins to take place in earnest, there is no longer a separation in Self, like masculine/feminine, good/bad, or dark/light, or separation of the human from the divine. The illusion goes away. The need to focus in, or zone in on another who has something one is perceived NOT TO HAVE, goes away. This fusion is what leads to a new kind of energy that is expansive; to be free in your own energy, unencumbered by others, which is what the astromythology of Eris, Haumea and Sedna in particular, expresses so perfectly…

Humans have been feeling ‘a long way from home’ while having this human experience; feeling separation, abandonment, while longing to re-connect to their own consciousness and energy.

• The Gonggong Yod is all about the massive chaos caused by floods, too much rain and landslides.

• The Sedna Yod is about the respect for people, animals and the natural world being violated and betrayed, and how the natural world can come back to bite. When the WHO announced a global health emergency on 31 January 2020, Haumea in Libra was sextile to Ixion in Sagittarius making a Yod apex on Sedna and malefic fixed star Algol. When WHO announced a global health emergency for Monkey Pox on 24 July 2022, the Sedna Yod was again active with apex on Sedna at 29 degrees Taurus; the crisis degree.

• The Varuna Yod is about sacred law and order, justice and truth in the cosmos that is returning as some reconnect to their emotions, and come to their senses regarding social injustices.

• The Haumea Yod is about being able to birth the new, and wild abundance and providence of nature that can be created when appropriate governmental structures support benevolence for all.

• The MakeMake square Quaoar aspect is about is about the smite that the Hammer of Thor apex makes in Taurus smiting things Taurus, perhaps into oblivion. Curiously, both this Hammer apex and the Sedna Yod makes apexes in Taurus, which is the sign of the bull. Together they are creating massive upset and change in agriculture, the natural world, earth matters, and with cattle; with the recent threat of foot and mouth disease in Australia a great example of the manifestation of this energy. This Hammer apex will also be on malefic fixed star Algol, Uranus and eventually Sedna.

• The Eris square Pluto aspect also created a Hammer of Thor apex on Orcus in Virgo, sending everyone packing for the underworld.
