(2060) Chiron, collective paradigm shifts

The first signs of the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius began during the last quarter of the 19th century, a few years before the first prediscovery of (2060) Chiron in 1895, through an interest in esotericism and the Eastern religions. Madame Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in 1875, whose purpose was to form a universal fraternity of humanity to promote the comparative and unified study of religions, philosophies and sciences, and to investigate the inexplicable laws of nature and the latent powers of the human being.

During the second period of prediscoveries of (2060) Chiron in the 40s of the 20th century, esotericism experienced a rebirth through Alice Bayle's books.

The transition to the Age of Aquarius reached its climax during the discovery of (2060) Chiron, in the late '70s of the 20th century, through an interest in global ecology, in addition to esotericism and Eastern religions. Science also experienced a shift in paradigm through the theory of chaos, which explained emergent phenomena and established unexpected acausal relations.

"[Translated from Spanish back to English:] Every new paradigm implies a principle that had always been there, but which until then we had not recognized, it also includes the old conception as a partial truth, as an aspect of reality, of the way in which things work, without implying that they can not work in other ways, and by virtue of their broader perspective, they enable traditional knowledge and rebellious new observations reconciling their apparent contradictions.The new framework is more useful than the old one. It allows us to predict with greater precision, and it opens doors and windows to new winds of exploration, given the greater power and the wide reach of new ideas, we could expect that it will impose themselves quickly, but that almost never happens [...] The new generation recognizes its strength; when a critical number of thinkers come to accept the new idea, a shift of collective paradigm occurs. When a sufficient number of people who have embraced the new perspective, or who have grown within it, the consensus emerge." (The Aquarian Conspiracy; Ferguson, 1980)

(2060) Chiron is related with collective paradigm shifts, whatever type they may be (resonance 4:17 with Jupiter), like in the movies "Alive!" (1993), "Braveheart" (1995), "The Island" (2005), "The Maze Runner" (2014) and "Insurgent" (2015).

"The Maze Runner" (2014)

Ewan McGregor, actor of the movie "The Island" (2005), has Chiron in Aries (Low Point of 11th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Sun, and in trine with the star Antares in Sagittarius (Low Point of 3rd Moon-Node House) and the star Giausar in Leo (Low Point of 7th Moon-Node House).

Shailene Woodly, actress of the movie "Insurgent" (2015), has Chiron in Leo (cusp of 5th Moon-Node House) in the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / Moon-Node Horoscope), in conjunction with the star Giausar.

(315530) 2008 AP129, conservation through dynamical equilibrium of nature

(315530) 2008 AP129 is a Kuiper belt object discovered in January of 2008. It has a perihelion of 35.9 AU and an aphelion of 47.5 AU. There are prediscovery images back to December of 1993, November of 1992 and October of 1989.

The collective efforts to reestablish the dynamical equilibrium of the ozone Layer began around the prediscovery of the asteroid (5869) Tanith in the year 1977 and reached a culmination point during the prediscoveries of (315530) 2008 AP129 in the year 1992:

"After a 1976 report by the United States National Academy of Sciences concluded that credible scientific evidence supported the ozone depletion hypothesis a few countries, including the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, moved to eliminate the use of CFCs in aerosol spray cans. [...] In 1985, 20 nations, including most of the major CFC producers, signed the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer which established a framework for negotiating international regulations on ozone-depleting substances. That same year, the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole was announced, causing a revival in public attention to the issue. [...] In 1987, representatives from 43 nations signed the Montreal Protocol. The participants agreed to freeze production of CFCs at 1986 levels and to reduce production by 50% by 1999. After a series of scientific expeditions to the Antarctic produced convincing evidence that the ozone hole was indeed caused by chlorine and bromine from manmade organohalogens, the Montreal Protocol was strengthened at a 1990 meeting in London. The participants agreed to phase out CFCs and halons entirely by 2000. At a 1992 meeting in Copenhagen, the phase out date was moved up to 1996." (Wikipedia: Ozone depletion)


Omaticaya culture
 
During the presdicovery of (315530) 2008 AP129, Melanie Reinhart published her book "Chiron and the Healing Journey" (1989), were she describes the shamanic culture as harmonic with the natural environment. She also describes the ecologic movement of (5869) Tanith that overstriked the discovery of Chiron.
 
In the movie "Avatar" (2009), the omaticaya culture of the indigenous tribe in Pandora (the moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Century star system), based in a symbiosis with the natural environment and the right conservation of the natural resources, is reinforced by the contrast of the human culture that tries to colonize the planet to obtain unobtanium (a precious mineral with superconducting properties) and comes to destroy the Tree of Souls (where the mineral is concentrated underneath) and damage the biological neural network native to Pandora.

Other related movies with (315530) 2008 AP129 are "Abyss" (1989), "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (2008), "Gomorra" (2008), "Nim's Island" (2008) and "Battle in Seattle" (2007).


Differences between (13647) Makemake and (315530) 2008 AP129:
 
While (13647) Makemake is related to sustainable developement, (315530) 2008 AP129 is related to sustainable conservation.

(2060) Chiron, self-organization of psychological defenses

(2060) Chiron is a centaur discovered in November of 1977 and named in 1979. There are prediscovery images back to October and January of 1977, December-October of 1976, October of 1975, September of 1973, November-October of 1972, June of 1971, September of 1969, August of 1952, August of 1948, April of 1945, March of 1943, January of 1941 and April of 1895.

The orbit is between Saturn and Uranus, but goes a bit beyond Saturn, getting in to the Jupiter's influence. It has a perihelion of 8.5 AU and an aphelion of 18.9 AU. It has an inclination of 6.9º. It has a diameter of about 230 km. A cometary coma was detected in April of 1989. It reached the perihelion in February of 1996.


Greek mythology

Chiron was a wise centaur and had an extensive knowledge of astrology, music and medicine, and tutored many heros as Jason or Achilles.

Heracles unintentionally wounded Chiron in the knee, during his battle with the centaurs with a blood of Hydra poisoned arrow. Because Chiron was immortal, the wound could not cause his death, but it was incurable, so he was permanently confronted with a terrible pain, although in a approachable way, like 5th mutable line of the hexagram 16th of I-Ching: "Persistently ill, and still does not die". Chiron followed creative ways to heal his wound, learning good techniques that applied to others as a healer. Finally, when Prometheus was ready to be responsible with humanity after Zeus punishment, Chiron renounced to his inmortality and took the place of Prometheus in Tartaros, where he died at last and become inmortalized in Sagitarius constellation.


Self-organization of psychological defences

During the first prediscovery of (2060) Chiron appeared "The Jungle Book" (1884, 1907), in wich three of the stories revolve around the adventures of an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle (where also lived tigers). The same theme returns in the movie "Tess" (1979).

During the discovey of (2060) Chiron, Mary Ainsworth, a Canadian developemental psichologist, conducted her experiments about early emotional attachment in 1978. [Wikipedia]: In this procedure of the strange situation the child is observed playing for 20 minutes while caregivers and strangers enter and leave the room, recreating the flow of the familiar and unfamiliar presence in most children's lives. The situation varies in stressfulness and the child's responses are observed.


Orbit between Saturn and Uranus

According to dynamical systems theory, all centaurs are chaotic, but (2060) Chiron (and his group, like Bienor or Chariklo), has one of the highest Lyapunov exponent, because of the high contrast between the total chaos of Uranus and fixed structures of Saturn.

Saturn creates boundaries to protect personality, while Uranus fragments structures and limitations leaving the personality free, but also unprotected. The psychological defenses of Saturn work by blocking emotions. But all emotions --even the negative ones-- have adaptative functions (information about the situation and physiological activation). This means that the emotions should be inhibited only the strictness necessary level, like ABS brakes in cars (resonance 7:12 with Saturn).

"From a self-organization standpoint, this reevaluation begins with the observation that the best defense is, if not a good offense, then a self-perpetuating interpretation that cristallizes though coupling with ongoing emotion. [...] Like other stable interpretations, the resilience of a defense depends on ongoing emotional disequilibrium. Thus, contrary to our intuitions, a stable, recurrent defense must be at least partially unsuccessful, because it must maintain some of the negative emotion it is intended to stem. On the other hand, in order to cohere at all, a defensive interpretation must achieve a degree of regularity or orderliness in the face of the most turbulent emotions. Thus, a self-organization defense interpretation might be expected to consolidate near --but not too near-- the most intense emotional states on the personality landscape." ("The Psychological Meaning of Chaos", Masterpascua & Perna, 1997)

When (2060) Chiron is activated there is an opportunity to overcome fears, open to new life style and consolidate it, but in a safety way (integration of Uranus and Saturn; going a bit beyond Saturns orbit towards Jupiter). Also, (2060) Chiron has the ability to recover easily from sudden and traumatic events, like in the movie "Running" (1979), and can behave with normality even in stressful and dangerous environments, without getting paralysed by fear (Saturn) or getting out of control by anxiety (Uranus), like in the movie "Alien" (1979).

In Greek mythology, Heracles killed several centaurs with his poisoned arrows. Chiron --protected by self-organizated psychological defences-- was the only one that survived.
