Changing your nickname:

You can update your profile under the Students tab and if you want to change the nickname the classroom has given you, this is how you do it:

Go to your Account by clicking on your image at the top right of any page on the site (between the shopping cart and bell for notifications) and then clicking 'Account'. On the left side of your Account page there will be a box with your picture or image (if you have uploaded one), and under that is the name the group displays for you. Click the edit button and change it to whatever you like, then click save.

Notification Settings:

If you want to adjust your notification settings, click the three dots at the top right side of the classroom, and then click notifications. Please don’t turn them all off however, because all information on the events and process of the class will come through notifications from this group.

Leleakuhonua Research Project

Unlike most planets in our solar system, Leleākūhonua is not named after a deity, but it has been given a Hawaiian name that compares it’s orbit to the flight of migratory birds, and evokes a yearning to be near the Earth. Birds represent spirit in myth, and while migration is a great effort and stress for birds, the life benefits outweigh the risks.

Leleākūhonua has the longest known orbit of any planet, around 32 or 33,000 years. This is three times as long as Sedna, so Leleākūhonua is the new outer limit of our solar system. The planet was first observed on October 13, 2015, and it will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2078.

We discover the meaning of these new planets by looking at a range of factors which includes the myth behind the name and the orbital characteristics, as well as the Sabian Symbol for the discovery degree, events around the discovery date, and the chart for the discovery. And then we look at the new planet in charts to see how it manifests in people’s lives.

We’ll meet initially on Zoom on Monday, April 21, at 2 p.m. Pacific Time / 5 p.m. Eastern Time, and decide on our way of working and who wants to undertake what area of research. But it is likely that we will meet monthly on Zoom and share discoveries by email or blog post in between. We'll start gathering data within our social circles and client lists, which is an approach which I attribute to Haumea—the higher octave of Neptune—who values the wisdom of the community. 

The Zoom meetings will be held at 9pm GMT on:

Monday 21 April

Monday 19 May

Monday 23 June

Alan will collate this material into a course on Leleākūhonua, which he will teach in late September at the Dwarf Planet University, and he, or someone else in this research project, will write it up for one of the NCGR publications. Join us in this research as we push the boundaries of astrological knowledge and human consciousness. 

Alan Clay is a New Zealand writer and astrologer. He is the NCGR International Delegate for New Zealand and one of the most popular speakers in the NCGR International Webinars program. Reviewers are calling his book, New Stars for a New Era: A Consciousness Workbook for our 10 New Planets, “groundbreaking" and "highly recommended.” In 2020, he founded the Dwarf Planet University, where he teaches online classes helping students understand these new planets in their personal charts.
