(60558) Echeclus, repeated in and out through time

Like many other centaurs, Echeclus died during the battle with the Lapiths. He was hit in the face with a spear that had lost its point. If the spear would not had lost its point, the death would had been like Crantor: definitive in less that a second. Instead, Echeclus death was by repeated strokes.


Astrological investigation

A symbolic example of (60558) Echeclus is the precovery process, were the discovery image of an astronomical objects is tracked back in old archived images:

"Precovery (short for "pre-discovery recovery") is a term used in astronomy that describes the process of finding the image of an object in old archived images or photographic plates for the purpose of calculating a more accurate orbit. The name is based on pre-discovery recovery; recovery being the process of making new observations of a previously observed object after a period of non-observation. This happens most often with minor planets, but sometimes a comet, a dwarf planet, or a natural satellite is found in old archived images; even exoplanet precovery observations have been obtained." (Wikipedia)

An example in astrology is the aspects in the cycle of two planets, or the Age Point aspects cycle to a birth planet from one conjunction to the next one, or the threefold contacts of a planet in retrograde transit.

This repeated in and out through time, gives a wide time perspective. The chase of this interconnected moments is one of the best methods in astrological investigation.

The book "Life Clock: Huber Method of Timing the Horoscope" (Bruno & Louise Huber, 1980) appeared during the prediscovery of (60558) Echeclus.

(668643) 2012 DR30, miracles and spiritual encounters

(668643) 2012 DR30 is an inner Oort cloud object discovered in 2009 (=2009 FW54) and rediscovered in February of 2012. It has a perihelion of 14.5 AU and an aphelion of 2205 AU. It has a diameter of about 165 km. There are prediscovery images back to February of 2010, April, March and January of 2009, March and February of 2008 and April of 2000. 

The distance of 15 AU is related to an antagonistic encounter or collision. In the centaur Amycus, this quality is combined with Uranus to be experienced as an 'anomaly'; while in the centaur Echeclus and Rhiphonos, is combined with Jupiter to be experience as 'serendipity'.

When the quality of 15 AU is combined with the inner Oort cloud, like is the case of 2012 DR30, the result is experienced as a miracle, like the discovery of Higg's particle (2012) or the movies "Final destination" (2000), "Perfect Storm" (2000) and "2012" (2009); or as a spiritual encounter, like in the movies "Kung Fu Panda" (2008), "The impossible" (2012), "The Back-up Plan" (2010) and "Slumdog millionaire" (2008).

(60558) Echeclus, reunions

(60558) Echeclus is a centaur discovered in March of 2000 and rediscovered in the year 2002 (2000 EC98 = 2002 GJ27). It has a perihelion 5.9 AU and an aphelion 15.7 AU. Its orbit is between Jupiter and Saturn-Uranus. It has a diameter of about 85 km. In late December 2005 a cometary coma was detected. There is a prediscovery image back to September of 1979.


Reunions

At the beginning of the movie "Superman" (1978), Lois Lane is a small girl that is travelling in a train with her parents and sees through the window the young Clark Kent (her future work companion at the Daily Planet in Metropolis) running faster than the train. Similar reunions happen in the movies "Star Trek" (1979), "Tess" (1979), "Gangs of New York" (2002), "The Bourne Identity" (2002), "Dragonfly" (2002) and "Serendipity" (2001).

"The origin of his name is a bit unclear, but it may have come from the Greek word that translates as 'glutinous'...which means sticky, or glue-like." (Zane B. Stein)

(60558) Echeclus is related with reunions, like the repeated overtakes back and forward between the rivals of the race of snowboard in the video game "SSX" (PS2, 2000).

When (60558) Echeclus is activated, there are time connections between past, present and future. Usually something of the past has an imposing influence in the present, and something of the present can have an imposing influence in the future, and vice versa, like in the movies "The Kid" (2000), "Family Man" (2000), "Pay it Forward" (2000), "Frequency" (2000), "The Lake House" (2006, remake of "Il Mare" South Korean film of 2000), "Déjà vu" (2006), "Tomb Raider: Legend" (PS2, 2006).

Learning to switch time perspectives allows us to shift our attention easily between the past, present and future, and consciously adapt our mindset to any given situation.

Mike Brown's Moon Node Horoscope during the discovery of (136108) Haumea

Michael E. Brown (born June 5, 1965) has the centaur Echeclus conjunct Pluto and Deucalion in Virgo in the cusp of the 10th house of the Moon Node Horoscope. The Age Point in the Moon Node Horoscope (AP-MNH) made a golden aspect (68.75º) and a quintil (72º) to Echeclus (also Pluto and Deucalion) during the discovery of Haumea:

Echeclus position is 13º45' Virgo and 0º04' of the 10th Moon Node House. This are the Age Point golden aspects to Echeclus in Brown's Moon Node Horoscope:

AP-MNH +137.5 > 10 Dic 1974
AP-MNH +144 > 28 Mar 1976
 
AP-MNH -144 > 22 Ago 1990
AP-MNH -137.5 > 10 Dic 1991

! AP-MNH -72 > 16 Ene 2005
! AP-MNH -68.75 > 10 Sep 2005
 
AP-MNH -36 > 28 Mar 2012
AP-MNH -34.38 > 25 Jul 2012
 
In July 2005 a group of Spanish astronomers [MNH's 10th House] rediscovered Haumea [Deucalion], precovered the orbit [Echeclus] and forced Brown to report quickly other objects discovered [Pluto; Virgo]:

"Ortiz argues that astronomers should report even large, slow-moving transneptunian objects as soon as they confirm the discovery. He told New Scientist that international scientists working together, collaborating and sharing resources can boost science progress and do the best possible job [2005 RM43]." (New Scientist)
