The Sun has entered Aries and a new astrological year begins. The Sun at the Aries point is in conjunction with Venus and 385446 Manw\u00eb, both at 28+ degrees of Pisces.
\n\"The<\/a>
\nSoon 385446 Manw\u00eb is starting to change signs, and it will be hovering around the Aries point the whole year. It will be prominent in all four equinox and solstice charts of the year. It enters Aries tor the first time in May, stays there the whole summer, and then retrogrades back to Pisces. The second ingress to Aries is in March 2022 and the third in January 2023. The orbital period of Manw\u00eb is almost 290 years. It moves slowly, and that is why the ingress takes time.<\/p>\n

385446 Manw\u00eb is a binary trans-Neptunian object, possibly a contact binary and likely surrounded by rapidly orbiting moonlets. The primary was named after Manw\u00eb, the fictional deity in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium. The secondary was named Thorondor after the king of Manw\u00eb\u2019s eagles.<\/p>\n

Manw\u00eb was the lord of air, wind and clouds. Poetry was Manw\u00eb\u2019s delight and the song of words was his music, tells Tolkien. All birds were dear to Manw\u00eb. Spirits in the shape of hawks and mighty eagles flew back and forth and brought to his knowledge everything that was going on in the world. Eagles were sacred animals of the Greek sky god Zeus and his Roman equivalent Jupiter, too. Sharp-eyed eagles are the symbol of power, their wings symbolize protection, and because they fly higher than other birds, they represent connection to the divine.<\/p>\n

Astrologically Manw\u00eb seems to be meaningful in charts of many occultists, mystics, astrologers, and visionaries.<\/p>\n
