Tag yourself.
people act like Pluto was dealt a bad hand bc they thought it was a planet but later classified it as a dwarf but consider this: there are 4 other dwarf planets in the solar system that most people don’t even know the names of so Think Again before you think Pluto is underrepresented

🔗closure is usually wanting the answer to something or ending of something, so you won’t be left unsure, confused, scared, etc.
🔗we often want closure after something traumatic or sad has happened. this can be things like a break up, ab*se, violence, etc. you may frequently wonder things like “why did it happen” and feelings of confusion, conflict, pain, sadness, and anger can reoccur when the topic is mentioned or thought of.

nessus(7066) in 9th house- trauma related towards religion, philosophy, learning, and ethics. in the cult that she was in, she has said how they were constantly making you learn about the way of the community, and she had to spend millions on books. her cult has also tried to paint themselves as a religion, rather than a cult
orcus(90482) in 10th house- for a long time she could’ve had a negative public image, especially when her cult was mentioned and people were aware of what went on inside of it. her career has also been affected by the cult, although she has now left
chiron(2060) in 7th house- she has stated how she fears to get close to others or work with others in suspicion that they are apart of her ex cult. despite that, she also has a tv show where she shared (7th house=sharing) others stories and helped exposed what happened.

paine(5188) in 2nd house cancer- this shows that she suffered a lot in her jobs and even her work ethic since her addiction got in the way of her acting career. her mother (mothers/motherly figures correlate with cancers) also got in the way of what she was genuinely passionate about because her mother wanted to make money off of her
prey(6157) in 7th house- drew could’ve been her most vulnerable self to people she was close with, meaning that was where she was victimized. people she was close with could’ve put her in bad situations or attacked her in some form. she stated that her mom pretty much allowed her to be around grown ups at a young age, and exposed her to clubs, drugs, alcohol, etc
bless(92891) in 6th house scorpio - drew now has a tv show that brings celebrities on and talks about her traumas and sometimes the celebrities traumas as well. she also says how she feels a “magnetic pull” to get close to people on her show. (scorpio usually correlates with magnetism)

nessus(7066) and bambi(15845) in 10th house- these placements show that she unfortunately has been victimized by her father, and also stopped touring so her dad wouldn’t make more money off of her which affected her career and fame. she was also pushed very hard (to the point of exhaustion) when she was touring and actively making music.
rhiannon(16912) in 1st house- this can show that britney has wanted to escape her life or her public image. (rhiannon=abductions) this can show that it’s quite public that she is in a situation where she is not allowed freedom
induna(176) in 1st house- this shows that she could eventually be in her “redemption” era and it will be quite public. people will see that she is is starting new, and it can remind many people of when she was younger, or even when they were younger and seeing britney on tv, live, or hearing her music !

Orcus in the signs
Orcus (90482), named after the Roman god of the underworld. Its placement in a natal chart can give insight into an individual's relationship with power, control, and transformation. A minor planet that represents the energy of consequence and karma.
Orcus in Aries: A desire for power and control in personal relationships, as well as a need to be seen as a leader or pioneer in one's field. A person's past actions and decisions have led them to a point where they need to learn to balance their assertiveness with consideration for others, and to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. They may also be required to work on developing a stronger sense of self and individuality, and to learn how to use their personal power in a positive and constructive way. Orcus in Aries may indicate a need for personal growth and the development of leadership skills.
Orcus in Taurus: A strong desire for material security and stability, as well as a need for control over one's possessions and resources. They have a strong attachment to material things and may feel as if they are owed something in life. They have a tendency to hold onto grudges and not forgive easily, which can lead to karmic debt in the future. On the other hand, they may be able to work hard and accumulate wealth, but they need to be careful not to become too greedy.
Orcus in Gemini: A desire for mental control and manipulation, as well as a need for intellectual dominance or influence. There’s a focus on communication, information, and intellectual pursuits when it comes to issues of justice and karmic consequences.

Orcus in Cancer: A desire for emotional control and manipulation, as well as a need for security and protection in personal relationships.

This placement indicates a strong connection to one's ancestral roots and a sense of duty towards family and the home.
Orcus in Leo: A desire for recognition and fame, as well as a need for control over one's public image and reputation. These themes are expressed in a way that is focused on personal identity, self-expression, creativity, and leadership.

There can be a tendency to become overly attached to one's own ego, which could lead to conflicts with others or a sense of isolation. The challenge with Orcus in Leo is to balance a strong sense of self with a willingness to work collaboratively and to consider the needs of others.
Orcus in Virgo: A need for control over one's health and daily routines, as well as a desire for perfection and order in all aspects of life. There’s a focus on justice and fairness. Virgo's tendency to be analytical and critical may also amplify the themes of Orcus, causing an person to be particularly hard on themselves or others when it comes to issues of right and wrong. The analytical abilities of Virgo may also help the person to be more adept at detecting and addressing imbalances or injustices. They have a strong sense of duty and responsibility to make sure things are "right," and work tirelessly to achieve this goal. They need to be careful not to become overly critical or perfectionistic in their quest for justice.
Orcus in Libra: A need for control over one's relationships and partnerships, as well as a desire for social harmony and balance.

Orcus in Scorpio: A desire for power and control in all areas of life, as well as a need for transformation and regeneration. There’s a deep fascination with the hidden and taboo, as well as an interest in power and control. This brings intense and transformative experiences related to sexuality, death, and the occult. It also creates a tendency towards obsessive or compulsive behavior, as well as a potential for hidden or repressed anger. With self-awareness and emotional maturity, this placement can lead to a profound understanding of the mysteries of life and death, and a powerful capacity for transformation and regeneration.
Orcus in Sagittarius: A desire for control over one's beliefs and ideologies, as well as a need for spiritual growth and exploration. The person with this placement is concerned with seeking truth and justice in their life. They have a strong sense of morality and ethics, and feel compelled to follow their beliefs and convictions, even if it means going against societal norms or expectations. They also have a keen interest in philosophy, religion, or higher education, and might pursue these areas of study as a way to gain greater understanding and wisdom. At times, they struggle with dogmatism, rigid thinking, or a sense of self-righteousness, which may alienate them from others or create conflicts. When they are able to maintain an open mind and a sense of humility, they can use their strong moral compass to inspire and guide others towards greater understanding and justice.
Orcus in Capricorn: A desire for power and control in professional and social settings, as well as a need for structure and discipline. There’s a strong drive to succeed in their careers and they feel a sense of responsibility to uphold the status quo. They’re also more attuned to the darker aspects of power dynamics and may be able to see through superficial displays of authority or tradition. In relationships there’s need for respect and authority. They prefer relationships that have a clear structure and defined roles. They must be wary of partners who try to exert control or manipulate them in hidden ways.
Orcus in Aquarius: A desire for control over one's social and political ideals, as well as a need for innovation and progress. There’s a need to reform or revolutionize societal structures and systems that are oppressive or limiting. There's a strong sense of justice and equality for all, and a desire to bring about change through unconventional or innovative means. This placement indicates a fear of losing individuality or personal freedom in the face of conformity or authority, and a need to assert independence in unconventional ways. There’s a focus on group dynamics and the greater good, as well as a desire to break free from tradition and embrace new ideas and perspectives.
Orcus in Pisces: A desire for control over one's spiritual and emotional experiences, as well as a need for transcendence and enlightenment. There’s a need to face subconscious fears and spiritual issues related to endings, loss, and surrender. Pisces is a sign associated with the collective unconscious, imagination, and sensitivity, and Orcus here may emphasize the need to let go of old patterns or illusions that hinder spiritual growth. It also suggests a connection to hidden or taboo subjects, or a need to confront issues related to sacrifice or martyrdom.

DWARF PLANET ORCUS (90482) IN ASTROLOGY
by : gpt-astrology / AI generated (tumblr)
Dwarf planet orcus code number : 90482
In astrology, Orcus is a recently discovered dwarf planet that is located in the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune. While Orcus is not one of the traditional planets used in Western astrology, some astrologers have explored its possible astrological significance.
One interpretation of Orcus in astrology is that it represents themes of transformation, power, and accountability. Orcus is named after the Roman god of the underworld, who was associated with oaths and punishment. In astrology, Orcus may be seen as a symbol of confronting and overcoming one's deepest fears and shadows, as well as taking responsibility for one's actions and their consequences.
Orcus is also associated with themes of justice and balance. Its orbit is highly elliptical and takes it close to Neptune and Pluto, two planets associated with transformation and deep psychological processes. Some astrologers believe that Orcus may play a role in helping individuals to understand and navigate their own inner darkness and to find a sense of equilibrium and balance within themselves.
It is important to note that the astrological interpretation of Orcus is not widely accepted or recognized by the majority of astrologers, and its influence and significance are subject to ongoing research and debate in the astrological community.

Hello i recently saw your observation on the dwarf planet varuna and i really love and enjoy it ❤️, i wonder if you can make a post on the dwarf planet orcus (90482) next? since i've seen this dwarf planet prominent in people that is like powerful too but maybe a bit less powerful than the effect of varuna. Because tom cruise, princess diana, donald trump and benedict cumberbatch have orcus conjunct their sun so i wonder what orcus means. Thank you 💗
Also oprah winfrey have the dwarf planet orcus conjunct her dc
Thank you for your question and examples, anon! Really happy you enjoyed the Varuna post. 🥹
Asteroid Highlight: Orcus 90482 (dwarf planet)
Orcus is the god of the underworld in Etruscan and Roman mythology. It is also the name of the underworld and not just the god.
There are many gods and rulers of the underworld like Pluto (Greek), Hades (Greek), Dis Pater (Roman), and of course, Orcus. But Orcus emphasizes the more punishing side of the underworld.
Orcus may have been derived from Horkos, the personification of the curse inflicted on anyone who swears a false oath/perjury.
These are themes I gathered on Orcus:
Punisher
“Had it coming”
Violent, not just physical violence but a powerful destructive force
Torments evildoers in the afterlife
Where souls of the deceased are purified
Demons and underworld monsters, demonic (orco in Italian; ogre in French)
Righting wrongs, serving justice
Accusations
In the Birth Chart:
Having Orcus prominent in the birth chart means that retribution is a recurring theme in life. There is an intensity that comes with this dwarf planet that can be seen as power. People with Orcus prominent in their charts could become powerful, but it is not without consequences. Because Orcus is a god of the underworld like Pluto, it does give me Plutonian/Scorpio vibes. Can possibly show popularity and fame that doesn't necessarily come from likeability (they can be likable, but this is probably shown in other parts of their chart) but more from circumstance (things happen to them that attract the curiosity of others or they do things that people want to see and know).
There is a little bit of a fated quality to major events in that person’s life. Depending on where Orcus is in the birth chart, it could show how you are punished, how you punish yourself, or how you punish others.
I chose the two MOST obvious examples out of the five anon gave. I think these two are the most obvious because out of the five, these two people IMO were under a different level of public scrutiny. Everything about them was just laid out on the table for all to see, willingly or unwillingly.
EXAMPLE 1
Princess Diana 7/1/1961 7:45 PM
Orcus conjunct Sun in Cancer in 7th
This shows a back-and-forth seesaw effect (7th) regarding Orcus themes: Princess Diana receives punishment, violence, and intensity from others, but she also retaliates against this. This is heightened since she has Orcus conjunct her Sun; she can also be a punisher who punishes those who wrong her.
Princess Diana’s life is riddled with a lot of intense events that were all highly public. On one end of the seesaw, Princess Diana tried very hard to be a good public figure and was restricted in many ways as a member of the royal family. Her husband, Prince Charles, was in a relationship with another woman, and this came to define a large part of Princess Diana’s life even to this day. Paparazzi were after her all the time, and her privacy was intruded upon constantly. These are all “punishing” events as Orcus is known for. She did not do anything bad to get the punishment, but the 7th house is known to attract whatever is in it.
At the other end of the seesaw is that Princess Diana is a “punisher” too but in a more empowering way. With all the turmoil and negative energy surrounding her, she put much of herself into charity and became the good public figure she wanted to be. In the end, she was successful in becoming the people’s princess. She had the public’s love and admiration, something her husband did not get and still has not received. If she couldn't stop the media from prying into her private life and if her husband was still going to be unfaithful to her, then she took things into her own hand and did a highly publicized interview about it. After her divorce, she made it a point that she was not someone you could easily mess with. She had relationships, wore what she wanted to wear, and acted in ways that were not traditionally princess-like. She is still famous for her revenge dress. To this day, the royal family, media, and paparazzi are seen in a very negative light when it comes to Princess Diana. Her name still comes up frequently, and she continues to be a relevant public figure. It's almost like her legacy will torment the royal family even after she has passed.
EXAMPLE 2
Donald Trump 6/14/1946 10:54 AM
Orcus conjunct Sun in Gemini in 10th
Trump’s life is a battle between him and the public, his career, and what he's striving to be (10th). He sees himself as a punisher, someone who rights wrongs and decides what/who should be punished. Even his slogan, “Make America Great Again," reveals his belief that he is the one to correct all that is making America not great.
Throughout his life, it’s very apparent that he wanted to become someone better, someone richer, more influential, someone powerful. The fact that he succeeded in becoming the president of the United States just shows what’s on his mind 24/7. His words and actions during the elections and throughout his presidency created a lot of tension in the country and divided Americans even further in what felt like a civil war-like atmosphere. Even today, his actions are still impacting the public’s lives, as was shown in the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. Throughout his presidency, he was known for his accusatory (negative manifestation of Orcus) rhetoric (Gemini for communication). His Twitter tirades were unsophisticated, controversial, and extreme. There are just too many things that he did that I won’t get into here.
What he might not have expected are the consequences of his words and actions. He got power by becoming president, but he abused that power. He became someone who would get his way, but Orcus is also about justice, albeit in a more violent way. After his presidency, his career and reputation were ruined, and at this rate, even if he has followers, he will not go down in US history as a great and admirable president or even a good person. You could say this is a form of justice served.

Astrology observation #4
By : Brielledoesastrology (tumblr)
Lets go.....
Surprisingly from what i've seen people with more challenging aspects to their sun like square and opposite makes more friends than people with their sun being positively aspected. I honestly don't know why to be honest but at the same time they still have an attitude problem and are disliked by other people too most of the time but at the same time they still managed to have a lot of tons of friends 😂. Is it only me who notices this??? Because most of the popular guys and popular girls in my school all of them have more challenging aspects to their sun than good aspects.
If you meet someone with sun squares or opposite mars be careful ok...., If you do something wrong to them they will get revenge. But at the same time their ego is very easy to break.
People with venus conjunct sun are always praised and well liked by other people.
If you have your asteroid nemesis (128) in leo, be careful because you attract enemies that like to expose stuff even if it is not your fault at all. You may also attract enemies that will try to take your spotlight away from you. (Example : kim garam,
Women with moon square saturn have experienced older people (especially older women most of the time) criticized them for having a round belly
If someone has mars conjunct uranus in their astrology natal chart. It is like every time you expect them to be mad they wont be mad, but then when it is all peaceful and you don't expect them to be mad or angry or doing anything then they are suddenly angry. 😂 Wtf.
People who have their sun in their 3rd house, other people always accuse them of being annoying sometimes for no reason at all. Even if the sun is well aspected people are still gonna accuse them of being annoying. Idk why.
People with the dwarf planet orcus (90482) prominent in their astrology natal chart always still become famous even after their death. Idk why. (Example : princess diana, donald trump, JonBenét Ramsey, dream the minecraft youtuber and etc). Can any astrologer explain this???

Astrology Quick-Lists: The Chthonic Gods of the Hellenic Pantheon

*This list is NOT exhaustive. There are simply too many stories which evoke the underworld, the seasons, or any of the gods who rule over either for me to put on one list. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find a myth that doesn't eventually get tied back to one or the other. These are the most essential players whose key significance is tied to the chthonic cycles and themes.
Thanks for reading and I hope you found it helpful. I hope to do more quick lists like this, if others are interested, so feel free to let me know which pantheons and domains would most help.

Orcus asteroid (90482)
This asteroid is related to the karma we carry from previous incarnations, probably due to our abusive behavior and the cruelty we have shown in the past. It shows mental pain and extreme behaviors, either for good or for bad. In addition, it is related to the consistency or inconsistency that we tend to show in terms of our promises.
It does not make sense to examine the zodiac signs of Orcus, as it is an asteroid that stays for several years, for generations in the same sign and moves very slowly.
*because the asteroid is related to karma there's a lot TW but i didn't say some things because i don't want to scare anyone*
Orcus in 1st
The individual in many cases is characterized by popularity and bravery as well as a powerful survival instinct. In previous incarnations, the individual may have been particularly selfish and interested only in satisfying their own wants and needs. Therefore, as a kind of karmic punishment, the individual may encounter obstacles in their action and aspirations.
Orcus in 2nd
Here the person may at some point in their life experience a radical change in their financial situation, which will probably be negative. This is because in previous incarnations they may have been very greedy and materialistic and it was time to pay their karmic debts. Nevertheless, they do not give up and succeeds through hard struggles and painstaking efforts to overcome the various economic crises.
Orcus in 3rd
This house can show a difficult or strong relationship with old classmates, neighbors or relatives, such as siblings (if any), aunts, uncles and cousins. The individual's school years may have been extremely difficult. In extreme terms, the person may even have experienced bullying. The individual's communication mechanisms are usually extreme. Thus, the person sometimes magnetizes others with their speech, while other times shocks and repulses them. In addition, the person may enter the process of changing the way of thinking and expression of their relatives and, in general, of their social environment, as they become angry with them.
Orcus in 4th
The person may have a difficult relationship with their paternal family and, in particular, with their parents. Caution is required, as it is possible to lose ownership of a plot of land or a house. The individual is usually characterized by patriotism but at the same time may feel trapped within their own homeland due to the conditions prevailing in it.
Orcus in 5th
Here we are dealing with a person who can experience challenges and obstacles in their quest to have offspring. Relationship with children may not be easy in general, whether they are their own biological children or not. Finds it difficult to understand the way children think and often tries to to turn them in a certain direction, to help them become more responsible. Can have a terrible weakness in one child and their relationship with the other can be more difficult. In love affairs desperately seeks passion but feels that is experiencing a constant misfortune. Because the 5th house is related -among other things- to investments, the person may experience financial ruin due to some unsuccessful investment effort. Finally, it would be good to avoid gambling, otherwise there is a high chance of suffering serious losses.
Orcus in 6th
The person may suffer from health problems and lack vitality, because in previous incarnations abused his physical strength and good health to the detriment of other people. As for their attitude towards health and physical condition, it can be from completely indifferent to very responsible and careful. There are no middle ground. Regarding the work issues of the individual, there are undoubtedly difficulties and obstacles. The person may experience prolonged unemployment or work in a place or object that he or she almost hates. With some colleagues they can have an amazing relationship, while with others he can hate to death (as the saying goes). Finally, the individual can have a karmic relationship with pets. It is possible, however, to experience the traumatic loss of an animal, which will bring mental pain and make the person see life with a different eye. By the word "loss" we do not necessarily mean death.
Orcus in 7th(BIG TW: DEATH)
In extreme cases, the person's spouse or partner may die prematurely and suddenly. Fatally, this event will significantly affect the life of the individual. Regardless of fatal events, I would say that the person usually experiences a misfortune in the field of close interpersonal relationships and, in particular, erotic rather because they betrayed their partners in previous incarnations. Thus, in the present life experiences attacks, betrayals and insidious behaviors on the part of his/her partner. The person tries in vain to change the partner in terms of their mentality and habits. Divorce is not uncommon in this area. However, the person can often appear or be in fact a model spouse.
Orcus in 8th
In previous lives the person probably abused the sexual power teir had in their hands. In the present incarnation, erotic rejection hurts the person especially. In addition, the person disagrees with some inhibitions and some barriers that those around him have when it comes to sex. To be precise, loathes conservatism. In addition, there is an increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases. As for the attitude of the person towards death, I would say that the person is brave and fearless.
Orcus in 9th
Here the person seems to have bad karma when it comes to studies. May have failed the university entrance exams, which greatly injured them and made them doubt their self-worth. May, however, eventually study but never get a degree or get a degree in a subject they hated and never practiced professionally. The attitude of the individual towards issues of religion is usually extreme. So, either is a religious person and religiously fanatical or is an atheist person. The problem is that often tries to impose their own beliefs on others. A fatal event or crisis that a person may experience at some point in their life will probably shake their faith. Metaphysics, philosophy and astrology attract the individual.
Orcus in 10th
The person with this position can feel unlucky when it comes to career. And indeed the various circumstances do not seem to favor them. This, of course, may be due to abuse of professional power and prestige in previous lives. More specifically, the individual may work non-stop but not be able to rise professionally and reach higher levels of the management hierarchy, probably because employers do not want to promote them for their own reasons. In many cases, comes into conflict and controversy with bosses, as they disagrees with their way of thinking and does everything to show them that they are wrong in some work-related matters. In addition, if finally rises professionally after hard work and suffering, their fall will come very soon and will take place completely suddenly, a fact which will deeply sadden the person, who will perceive this incident as a humiliating and unjust demotion.
Orcus in 11th
The person seems to have difficult karma in the field of friendship. This is because probably wronged their friends in past lives. May feel a "foreign body" in the various social groups and groups and find it difficult to integrate as they distinguishes mentalities and views with which does not agree. Its values are more important than social acceptance and integration. Not afraid to be alone against everyone. But the truth is that usually experiences social rejection in the end, while some of their former friends suddenly become their enemies.
Orcus in 12th(TW: ADDICTIONS)
Here we are dealing with a person who has a particularly heavy karma. In fact, there may be many unresolved issues that probably come from their immediate incarnation. The enemy of the individual seems ruthless. But the person with the Orcus in the 12th is fearless and brave and fights them as much as possible. There is a tendency for addictions, depression and psychosomatic illnesses. Engaging in metaphysics often proves dangerous for the individual, who would do well to avoid occultism and astral travel. A person's dreams can be prophetic, while any artistic pursuits of the person do not offer them the desired satisfaction and bliss. Betrayal and deception do not disappear with this oath of allegiance. Finally, the individual is not afraid of pain, while often struggling to change the life and destiny of our wronged, marginalized or vulnerable fellow human beings.

90482 Orcus
90482 Orcus is a plutino discovered in February 2004 by the astronomer Mike Brown. It is in a 2:3 resonance with Neptune, as are all plutinos. Plutinos are named after the first of the class discovered - Pluto.
Orcus is often called the “Anti-Pluto” because it has similar orbital parameters to Pluto, and is usually at aphelion when Pluto is at perihilion, and vice-versa. It is also called the Anti-Pluto because of its sole moon, Vanth, which is half of its size, and is likely its binary partner.
Orcus is approximately 910-917km in diameter, making it rather small. Vanth is estimated to be very small, about 442.5km in diameter, but dense enough to bring Orcus to orbit around a point in space called a barycenter.
Orcus’ mass has been measured to be, with Vanth’s discovery, 3.8% of that of the most massive dwarf planet, Eris. Vanth’s mass is estimated to be as high as 8% of that of Orcus’.
It is not known if Orcus is tidally locked to Vanth, but it may be likely so, making it even more of a counterpart to Pluto and Charon. It is likely that Orcus has a rotational period of 10.5 hours, as measured in a survey.
It is likely we are seeing Orcus pole-on. We might not be able to estimate Orcus’ rotation without a probe being sent there in the future.
Studies of Orcus shows that the surface of Orcus is featureless, and neutral in colour. It also came as a surprise that the surface of Orcus is not red, like most Kuiper Belt bodies. Like Quaoar, Orcus may have cryovolcanism upon its surface, with crystalline ice discovered.
The satellites of Uranus have similar composition to Orcus, which means by studying them, we may be able to study Orcus itself. By also studying Charon, we may also learn about Orcus, because Orcus has similar composition to Charon, but less ice. Orcus’ tholins are comparable to Triton, being rather dark.
Models have proven that Orcus is indeed capable of sustaining a sub-surface ocean, proving that cryovolcanism is indeed a possibility for this crystalline ice upon Orcus’ surface.
If a probe was to be sent to Orcus, it could likely take about 12-13 years to get there if Jupiter was in the right place. It could be used as a secondary New Horizons. Only this year did Orcus reach aphelion, and it is getting closer to perihilion, so only time will tell if NASA will send a probe there.
Again, relying to the Anti-Pluto nickname, Orcus and Vanth are the Etruscan equivalent of Pluto and Charon. Vanth is rather similar to Charun, or Charon.
Let me end Orcus upon this quote from Mike Brown:
Mike Brown stated that if Vanth “accompanies dead souls from the moment of death to the underworld itself, then of course her face is turned always toward Orcus” - a joke about the possible same orbit of Vanth around Orcus.
Artist’s impression of Orcus. Note the blue tinge which is odd upon KBOs.
