Makemake Through the Signs
This shows the year Makemake first enters one astrology sign (tropical, geocentric), to the year he first enters the next sign. Because he’s very slow, orbital period just over 306 years, it takes at least a couple of years of retrograding back out and in over a sign cusp before he changes signs for good.

Philip Sedgwick’s initial ideas on Makemake delineation.
A lot of Makemake research has already been posted to the Centaurs (Zane Stein) and Centaurs2 (Mark Andrew Holmes) egroups, where there are many astrologers who’ve studied the object since well before it was named.
Makemake gets involved in the astrology this week, making his first major aspects since being named.
