Ritona, Celtic mythology for the object (145452) 2005 RN43

On July 21, 2025, the object (145452) 2005 RN43 was officially named: (145452) Ritona.
 

"Ritona is a goddess of river fords among the Celtic tribe of the Treveri located in the Moselle river valley." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #17, 24]
 
A ford is a shallow, firm-bottomed section of a river, stream, canal, or other body of water, allowing passage on foot, horseback, or in a vehicle. Ritona was the goddess of fords, providing experience and protection when crossing watercourses.
 
Water currents symbolize a tightly knit social group, oriented unidirectionally toward a goal. Crossing the water current at the ford, in a transverse direction, refers to the caution and effort required to resist being carried away by a seemingly weak force, but one that is constantly strengthened.

Achlys, Greek mythology for the plutino (208996) 2003 AZ84

On June 30, 2025, the plutino (208996) 2003 AZ84 was officially named: (208996) Achlys.
 

 
"Achlys is a personification of sorrow and grief described in the Greek epic poem, the Shield of Heracles. It is also used by Homer in the Iliad to describe the mist that covers the eyes of the dying." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #15, 16]
 
This mythology symbolizes the processes of psychological transformation that uncover hidden aspects by the most superficial layers of personality.
 
The plutino Achlys is part of the group of objects with their semi-major axis in 1:1 resonance with the planet Pluto (and therefore, also in 2:3 resonance with the planet Neptune). What distinguishes Achlys from other plutinos is its ability to evolve and develop through various stages that then integrate and unify (perihelion in 4:3 resonance with the planet Pluto); it also has the ability to very gradually redefine its personality (perihelion in 3:1 resonance with the dwarf planet Eris).

Aya, Akkadian mythology for (55565) 2002 AW197

On June 30, 2025, the object (55565) 2002 AW197 was officially named (55565) Aya.
 

"Aya is the goddess of the dawn in Akkadian mythology. Aya was the consort of the Sun god, Shamash." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #15, 15].
 
"Buduhudug was the mythical mountain where the sun set, the place where Shamash entered Aya, reuniting with her each day after he finished his journey through the sky.

Ninsun, Gilgamesh's mother, during her prayer to Shamash, asks Aya three times to intercede on behalf of her son to guarantee his safety both during the day and the night on his journey to the Land of the Living where he would face the giant Humbaba, guardian of the Cedar Forest. Ninsun makes clear that the optimal time for Aya to supplicate her husband is just after sunset, when he returns home from his daily journey." (Wikipedia)
 
This mythology indicates the importance of choosing the right strategy in each specific case to obtain the expected result.
 
The object Aya has the ability to proceed logically and systematically to create new physical security systems, isolating factors to determine the cause of a problem, methodically testing options, one by one, until a solution is found (semi-major axis in 1:11 resonance with the planet Saturn). To this end, it is capable of learning from mistakes, quickly recognizing the situation (perihelion in 1:9 resonance with the planet Saturn). The object Aya also has the ability to shift paradigms and perceive the situation in a new way, thanks to an inner understanding of coherent facts and circumstances (aphelion in 13:9 resonance with the dwarf planet Eris).
 
Giorgio Nardone, director of the postgraduate school of brief strategic psychotherapy (Arezzo, Italy), has Aya in Cancer (4th Moon-Node House), near the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope), in trine with Jupiter-Neptune in Scorpio (12th Moon-Node House), which are in sextile with Pluto in Virgo (2nd Moon-Node House).

Mani, Norse mythology for (307261) 2002 MS4

On June 9, 2025, object (307261) 2002 MS4 was officially named (307261) Mani.

 

"Máni [male character] is a personification of the Moon from Old Norse as described in the Prose Edda. Máni is the son of Mundilfari and the brother of Sól
[female character], the Sun." (WGSBN Bull. 5, #11, 13)
 
In Norse mythology, the gods assigned Máni and Sól (sons of Mundilfari) the task of controlling and directing the Moon and the Sun respectively, avoiding being reached by the wolves Hati and Sköll (eclipsing agents).
 
In this mythology, the sociability of the Moon (astrological meaning) takes on a masculine component, manifesting itself in the form of initiative during social interaction. The wolves, following behind, symbolize social integration and the restructuring of the positions that each member occupies in the social hierarchy. 
 

The classical Kuiper belt object Mani represents the capacity for evolution and adaptation to rapid changes in state in the form of a burst (5:16 resonance with the planet Uranus). It also represents the ability to remain open to understanding others if their attitude and behavior are in line with our values ​​(8:13 resonance with the planet Neptune).
 
The objet Mani has the ability to remain open to facts or information that progressively help defining the quality of the situation or problem (perihelion in 8:3 resonance with the dwarf planet Eris). It also produces events or circumstances that force shortcomings related to identification processes to come to light (perihelion in 4:3 resonance with the objects Haumea-Varuna-2002_UX25).
 
The object Mani is also related to infiltration capabilities (aphelion in 1:2 resonance with the planet Neptune), which require a certain degree of personality sophistication (aphelion in 3:4 resonance with the planet Pluto). It also generates exceptional opportunities in which access is opened to processes or functions that are normally closed or internal (aphelion in 5:6 resonance with object Salacia), which all together make the course of development or the final outcome very difficult to deduce from the outset (aphelion in 5:3 resonance with dwarf planet Gonggong).

Taowu, Chinese mythology for (471325) 2011 KT19

On February 3, 2025, the damocloid centaur 2011 KT19 was officially named (471325) Taowu.
 
"One of the Four Perils of Chinese mythology, Taowu is a ferocious and stubborn beast said to lurk within the western regions of China. It is depicted as having a human head, tiger legs, boar tusks, and a long tail." (WGSBN Bulletin 5, #2).
 
 
This mythological creature combines emotional and mental intelligence (human head), the ability to catch and grab its prey (tiger legs), initiative and forward momentum (boar tusks), and a great sense of balance when moving and rejoining (long tail).
 
The concept of 'peril' in Ancient China is explained in the hexagram nº 29 of I-Ching, entitled "“The Abysmal”". It refers to the ability to analyze all the possibilities and aspects of a situation, which allows one to find the correct and most appropriate solution to it.
 
The damocloid centaur Taowu is in resonance 1:18 with Jupiter (semi-major axis), which indicates faith and confidence in resolving situations that are untimely, out of place or inverted; and in resonance 1:2 with Neptune (aphelion), which indicates the capacity for infiltration. Its retrograde and highly inclined orbit is related to inner experiences that are very far from the everyday and the habitual.

Centaur 2021 CD4 was discovered just before Covid-19 vaccines were distributed. Pharmaceutical laboratories took the risk of manufacturing large quantities of their vaccine models before knowing the results of the clinical trials and without knowing whether they were going to be authorized or not. This allowed it to be applied en masse, almost immediately after it was approved.
 
The centaur 2021 CD4 combines the trust, faith and positive expectations of Jupiter, with the fulminant quality of 17 AU.
 
"Raya and the Last Dragon" (2021)
 
Kelly Marie Tran, voice actress in the movie "Raya and the Last Dragon" (2021), has 2021 CD4 in Capricorn (3rd Moon-Node House), conjunct Uranus, and in opposition to Chiron in Cancer (9th Moon-Node House).
