Haumea
Haumea, a fast-spinning dwarf planet named for the Hawaiian goddess of fertility and childbirth, discovered in 2004, is read in modern astrology as the dwarf planet of fertility and birth, regeneration and rebirth, natural creativity, and the cycle of bringing forth and then letting go of what one creates. Read Haumea by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Haumea's theme of fertility, rebirth, and natural creativity where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Haumea as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
