Revisting Quaoar - 50000

[Deleted]

Quaoar is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a region of icy planetesimals beyond Neptune.

I find various meanings ascribed to Quaoar and some are so amorphous that it could mean anything. Here's one:

"Astrologically, Quaoar seems to signify creation, procreation, demanding, trying experiences, being placed under a microscope, viewing less attractive aspects, flaws or complexities, scientific activities; also, questioning, constructing, clarifying, revealing, creating abstract mental models, a spirit of discovery, the big picture [says Jonathan Dunn]." markandrewholmes.com/quaoar.html


This one is more precise and seems to resonate with me.

"The name Quaoar and the Tongva suggest traits associated with those who live attuned to Earth and nature's cycles; i.e., with respect for the land and in harmony with the natural world and the animal kingdom." -

I have Quaoar conjunct Mercury in the 3rd House reinforcing the communicative aspect of Mercury. I have an interest in environmental issues and research ecological agricultural practices, so that interpretation may be relevant for me and also relevant on a global scale. I suspect that the presence of Archimedes suggests that I am prone to having sudden insights.

Quaoar 13°32
Makhaon 13.32
Archimedes 13.56
Mercury 13.57
Padmanabhan - 14.19 - Name for God Vishnu

Wow, @astrokeen, your Mercury stellium there is fantastic.

Mine's close to some "thinking outside the box" objects. In Scorpio:

6.35 Uranus
4.41 Hekate
7.02 Philosophia
8.34 Quaoar
9.43 Hybris

"HYBRIS was the goddess or personified spirit (daimona) of insolence, hubris, violence, reckless pride, arrogance and outrageous behaviour in general. Her Roman name was Petulantia."
www.theoi.com/Daimon/Hybris.html

Okay

Now that I stand accused, not sure what to say in my defense. Well I'm not the greatest steward of the earth but consider myself a naturalist and somewhat of a luddite. I might creep people out with my level of adherence to natural rhythms, like not everyone wants to hear "Happy Solstice" -- it seems witchy to them. But it's only logical to me. Same with taking herbs instead of over-the-counter medicine. I hold to a natural philosophy.

Hi @astrokeen 😄
Tropical position Sidereal position
I have Quaoar on 4th House in Libra 22° 23' Virgo 28° 09'
Quaoar contraparallel Mercury
Quaoar parallel Felicitas
Quaoar parallel Panacea
Quaoar sesquiqudrate Panacea 0° 19'
Quaoar semisquare Uranus 1° 23'
Quaoar semisquare Philosophia 1° 34'

So? What do you think? How Quaoar influence me?

Ava , I think both the quotes above hold some truth for you - "questioning, constructing, clarifying, revealing, creating abstract mental models, a spirit of discovery, the big picture" and also " attuned ...nature's cycles".

Lionessmind , the Sabian symbol (another indicator for the meaning of a particular degree) for Libra 23 is CHANTICLEER'S VOICE HERALDS SUNRISE.

KEYNOTE: A creative and joyous response to life processes. - www.mindfire.ca/An%20Astrological%20Mandala/An%20Astrological%20Mandala%20-%20Libra16-30.htm

So how would that relate to Quaoar being at that degree? Perhaps it indicates your creative spirit and being contra parallel to Mercury, it may not be about communicating to others but communicating with your soul in new ways that bring joy to you. This meaning links well with the asteroids Panacea and Felicitas. Hope this makes sense. I can't think of anything else.

Thank you @astrokeen

That's a really good placement @astrokeen!

I heard that Quaoar is strong in people with high IQ. But I think it's also because of other factors. Quaoar is also one of the generational asteroids.

I have Quaoar in 4.07 Sag conjunct Pluto in 4.34 Sag, but people in my generation have it too. An "out of the box" asteroid meshing with a planet with transformation power. A lot of things changed at that time in 1997, crisis after crisis in Asia. A lot of things has transformed (for the better or worse), forced people in that time to think out of the box to make the transformation happens. I don't know what it means in natal chart tho haha. But I guess the crisis really shaped my generation into what it is today because of how we raised.

I have Quaoar conjunct:
Agelaos 3.21
Pluto 4.34
Geisha 4.57
Hidalgo 5.15

Quaoar opposite:
Venus 2.42
Kama 3.36

Quaoar trine:
Concordia 4.00 Leo
Goode 4.54 Leo
Chariklo 5.05 Leo
Apophis 5.14 Leo
Moon 5.21 Leo
Einstein 5.23 Leo

Quaoar square:
Angelina 3.29 Virgo
Logos 4.05 Virgo
Compassion 4.07 Virgo
Requiem 4.07 Virgo
Mean BML 4.39 Virgo
Psyche 5.04 Virgo

ishtarmy , the 'out of the box' description was assigned by someone on Lindaland and I don't actually agree with it.

Also in Tongva mythology, Kwawar (or Quaoar) is the creation force of the universe, singing and dancing deities into existence. So, it is some sort of creative force, and could be linked to music.

Pluto conjunct Quaoar, as you said, would denote fresh viewpoints to enable transformation.

Quaoar is a bit personal for me.
I have been aware of that since its discovery in 2002.
I think it might factor into my neurodivergence (Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD) because of the otherworldly, nonconformist nature of Quaoar being a transneptunian dwarf planet candidate whose average distance is beyond Pluto's average distance.




EL - Ecliptic Longitude aka Zodiacal coordinate

RA - Right Ascension aka Equatorial Longitude (Kenneth Bowser views them mundane aspects)

Dec - Declination aka Equatorial Latitude

3D - Three Dimensional that are measured along the great circle that connects the two bodies as seen from Earth

Parans - objects that are on angles at the same time (Kenneth Bowser views them as mundane aspects)

There is a view that mundane aspects are just as important as the zodiacal aspects

ST - Sidereal Time
4 minutes of Sidereal Time is equivalent to 1 degree of arc



Moon trine Quaoar in EL - 48 min (36 min in 3D)

Moon parallel Quaoar in Decl - 47 min

Sun conjunct Quaoar in RA - 7 min 02 Sidereal Time

Sun-Quaoar Set conjunction paran - 5 min 59 Sidereal Time

Sun conjunct Quaoar in EL - 2 deg 57 min

I have the following in Galactic Longitude:
I put the Galactic Longitude into Zodiac Equivalent
if object is at 120'00, then I put as 0'00 Leo


Galactic Coordinates [Astro*Index]

Coordinate system which uses the galactic circle as its fundamental circle and places its origin near the galactic center in the constellation Sagittarius. The coordinates are: galactic longitude (l) and galactic latitude (b). Galactic Longitude is measured eastward along the galactic circle (from 0° to 360°) from the nominal galactic center to the foot of a perpendicular circle passing through the body; Galactic Latitude is measured along this perpendicular circle, from the galactic equator to the body (+ is north, - is south). In 1959, the IAU (International Astronomical Union) set the nominal galactic center at: RA=17h42.4m, DEC=-28°55', referred to the mean equator and equinox of 1950.0, and defined the galactic equator to be inclined at an angle of about 62° to that same reference system. See Figure G1. Currently, the radio and infrared source known as Sagittarius A West is thought to coincide with the galactic center. This source is located only a few minutes of arc from the nominal center, at the galactic coordinates: l= -3.34', b= -2.75'.

I have both strong Quaoar energy and Eris energy in Galactic Longitude



Sun -                   1°43 Pisces
conjunct Quaoar - 1°59 Pisces
oppose Eris -        1°20 Virgo



I am currently looking up the Galactic Longitude of my minor planets in my Astrological Nativity.  I will be posting about them in the future.
