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).
