NlASTEROIDS IN There are millions of asteroids in existence, many of which are believed to be the fragrnented residues of planetesimals, bodies within the young Sun's solar nebula that never grew large enough to become planets. Asteroids of considerable sizes have also been referred to as planetoids. Historically, these terms have been applied to any astronomical object ASTRONOMY revolving around the Sun that did not follow a planet-like shape and was not seen to have characteristics of an active comet such as a tail. Asteroids are generally found in the wide space between Mars and Jupiter, a range of the solar system known as the asteroid belt, and their total mass amounts to just 5% of the mass of the Moon!ASTEROIDS IN MODERN ASTROLOGY Asteroids and minor planets are Ione Nerclel etal Minter eu astrology. There are several reasons for this, including the more nuanced reading that is possible along with an increase in details that are able to be ascertained from the location of an asteroid in the natal chart. In addition, asteroids broaden the scope of mythology that astrology can draw from when making interpretations and finding meaning. Many asteroid myths give attention to female stories and perspectives which is much needed in a practice that has been dominated by planets named after male deities for so many years! Asteroids are relatively new celestial bodies in astrology, having been discovered just in the 19th century. However, some astrologers believe that some of them, especially the largest ones, are symbolically linked to human affairs. Overall, they are often overlooked within general systems of astrology. Their use has become notable to some Western astrologers, yet still, just a minority of astrologers use the asteroids in standard birth chart. analysis.

They are numbered counterclockwise from the apex of the first house. In astrology, the houses represent. the different areas of life where events take place. Generally, houses one to six are below the horizon and houses seven, to twelve are above the horizon. Making houses below more personal and identity-focused and the houses above the horizon line more externally and broadly focused. The house structure contains a cross shape dividing up the circle into 4 quadrants. These quadrants are marked by the 4 major angles typically associated with the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses--The Ascendant, The Imum Coeli, The Descendent, and the Midheaven. You should pay close attention to these angles, as transits and planets near them often mean intensified energy expression.HOUSES IN ASTROLOGY During the development of astrology, many systems for calculating the houses were created — for example, Placidus, Koch, Porphyry, and Regiornontanus are systems still in use today.

This system divides each house into a perfect 30-degree section, clearly defining the boundaries of each house with each zodiac sign. Despite these varying methods, all house divisions in Western astrology share some things in common: the cusps of the twelve houses are always projected onto the ecliptic; they will all place the cusp of the first house near the eastern horizon and every house cusp is 180° of longitude away from the sixth following house (Ist opposes 7th; 2nd opposes 8th and so on).
