Asteroids, Lots & Lore
Asteroids, lots, and lore
Once you’ve mastered planets, signs, houses, and aspects, the sky opens even further. Minor celestial bodies and Arabic Lots add poetry and specificity. They’re the Easter eggs of astrology—optional, but delightful.
Asteroids with a Purpose
Thousands of asteroids exist, but only work with the ones that have a mythic throughline relevant to your client or research. Ceres speaks to nourishment, Vesta to devotion, and Juno to collaboration. Treat them as supporting actors, not leads.
Arabic Lots
Lots are calculated points created by combining planetary relationships. The Lot of Fortune highlights material flow, while the Lot of Spirit talks about vocation. Because lots change with the time of day, they personalize charts with surgical precision.
Fixed Stars & Storytelling
Fixed stars are brilliant for creative readings. Algol, Regulus, Spica—each carries centuries of mythology. Use them sparingly and always check the orb (1–2° max). They add cinematic flavor when a chart already has a solid foundation.
