Makemake
Makemake, a dwarf planet named for the Rapa Nui creator and fertility god, discovered in 2005, is read in modern astrology as the dwarf planet of devotion to the natural world, resourcefulness and creation, environmental and activist instinct, and the drive to make and provide from the wild. Read Makemake by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Makemake's theme of the wild, nature, and creation where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Makemake as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
