Unstable, yes. The Zetas described the point when Planet X has both its
foci behind it as an unstable point, when it would be subject to "the
call of the wild".
Having passed by the Sun, [Planet X] now slows. The rate
of slowing is dependent on two factors, essentially - its speed
and the fact that both its gravitational masters are now behind it.
As fast as [Planet X] picked up speed approaching your Sun, it
slows even faster, the nearness of your Sun behind it no small
factor in this. Nevertheless, for a traveling planet the size of
[Planet X], putting on the brakes and turning about is no small
matter. It must first come to a stop, which it does in
approximately 2 years 3 months after passing your Sun.
[Planet X]'s orbit takes it well away from the Sun after passage,
so that it moves out a distance equal to 1/4 of the distance
between the Sun and its other foci before it slows to a stop.
After passing through the Solar System, [Planet X] moves out
on the opposite side some 3.560 times the distance from your
Sun to its farthest planet, Pluto, then stops. It then hovers, not
moving, essentially, for 3 years 6 months, and then slowly
begins a return trip which telescopes or mirrors the voyage out.

[Planet X] hovers for the length of time it does before
returning because of what we will term the call of the wild.
Having stopped in its tracks [Planet X] is in a vulnerable position,
and in point of fact could become caught in a new pattern of
motion should the objects around it present a new dynamic. It
has stopped, dead still, and thus is in a virginal position of
having no commitments. During most passages of [Planet X]
there is no contest, but in some cases there are other
attractions nearby that create confusion. The upshot of this is
that [Planet X] may delay longer before setting out on its
return passage, but the factors in your part of the Universe are
not such as to change the outcome.
