Bibliography of Asteroids, Centaurs & Kuiper Belt Objects in Astrology

This select bibliography combines books on the asteroids, Chiron and the other centaurs, and Eris and the other Kuiper Belt objects except Pluto, in one convenient grouping, reflecting the typical common interest in all these objects among enthusiasts for astrological chart interpretation using any of them, and also the fact that some book titles cover objects from more than one group, and it would therefore seem superfluous to split them into shorter separate listings.

Some recent titles of relevance have not yet been acquired by the library but will be selectively sought out and added to this page in due course.

The books by Clifford Cunningham are chiefly academic but provide valuable details on the history of the discovery of the first known asteroids and their emerging astronomical characteristics.

At the end are details of our holdings of the two known English-language journals that have been dedicated to the use of the asteroids in astrology.  

If wishing to cite this select bibliography itself, please link to its web URL and do not copy and paste it to other online locations or publications – a lot of work goes into cataloguing these books, and all rights are reserved.

Thank you,

[1] A print-on-demand publication; this copy printed in 2021

[1a] This book is mainly looking at the influence of the then-recently discovered Transneptunian Objects such as Sedna and Eris. However, the final chapter takes a look at the mundane astrological indicators in 2012

[2] Copyrighted 1987, which would suggest a rapid sale of four printings prior to this one having been attained.

[3] After the original edition self-published by the author in 2004 and entitled ‘Jousting for Celestial Glory: The Discovery and Study of Ceres and Pallas’

[4] After the original edition self-published by the author in 2004 and entitled ‘The Pallas Problem’

[5] Antoined de St. Francesco, born 28th July, 1908

[6] Another astrological work by the author is dated to 1981; and the chart at the rear takes as an example the date of 10th April 1981, strongly suggesting a similar date for this one

[7] To the outer edge of the outer panel has been tipped in an unmarked translucent overlay, which extends across both sides of the folding chart but is edge-chipped at its own free outer edge. Its purpose is unclear

[8] After the first AFA printing of 1981. The original Gemini World edition of 1976 is not internally acknowledged here. 

[9] After the original edition of 1976

[10] After original edition of 1979

[11] After first printing of 1982

[12] Copyrighted 1978

[13] The original copyright date is given as 1998; the dates of other printings are not stated

[14] Of these cards, 14 represent a selection of mostly obscure asteroids (although including Vesta and Psyche); 6 represent Hamburg School planets (Cupido, Hades, Zeus, Kronos, Admetus and Vulcanus), one represents Chiron, and 12 represent the aspects in multiples of 30º

[15] Translated from the original ACS Publications edition of 1986 entitled ‘Asteroid Goddesses’, for a later printing of which see below

[16] A later reprint of the above

[17] A facsimile reprint of one article by Green and two by Däath, as well as a letter to the editor from the latter, all reproduced from unspecified issues of “Modern Astrology” magazine

[18] This features three dials that are designed to be cut out, but have been deliberately left intact in this instance

[19] Suplied with ‘Diseases, Pathologies and Asteroid Names, Numbers and Notes’, q. v. below

[20] This copy purchased new from the author in 2019; the work is believed to date back to the mid-2010s

[21] This edition seems most likely to be an undeclared early reprint. Not only is the binding format different, but also reviews have been added to the new rear flap of the folder, a feature missing from the comb-bound edition. The contents appear identical.

[22] Presumed an early reprint of the original printed in 2001

[23] After the original edition of June 2000

[24] Aside from ephemerides, this publication features two dual-columned pages comprising two essays on Eros, one by each of the editors

[25] The 12 leaves of notes are all retained within a folded piece of A4 squared paper labelled ‘Vesta-Mond: das “eigentliche Leben”, which corresponds to the title of chapter VIII of the present book. Some of the leaves are dated either 7 or 8 August, 1968. It would appear possible that they are original research notes by Meier-Parm that were used in the preparation of the present book

[26] Internal evidence acknowledging a book published in 1985 would suggest 1986-9 as being most likely, though it could be slightly later

[27] The first printing thus; but the work is expressly stated to have been previously published by TIA Publications in 1977. That edition, however, covered a substantively different range of dates (1883-1999), and was credited primilary to Eleanor Bach and Zipporah Dobyns, together with Michelsen (see under Bach, Eleanor, above). The present 1999 edition was evidently revised to change the range of dates covered by Rique Pottenger after Neil Michelsen’s death in 1990, although Pottenger had already been involved with the original 1977 edition too

[28] After original edition of December 1978, which is stated to have been limited to 500 numbered copies

[29] After the original printing of 1992

[30] After the original edition of 1989 and second edition with minor revisions of 1998

[31] This volume ends rather abruptly after the delineation of Chiron in the third house. The author’s note to the inside of the rear cover indicates that a second volume on Chiron was in preparation. It would appear that he planned to cover Chiron in houses 4-12 and in the signs in that one. Whether or not it was ever published is unknown

[32] Seems likely to be no later than 1995, based on the included advertisement for it in the book ’Blending Ages’ by the same author, which is copyrighted 1995

[33] Amazon records indicate publication in August 2020

[34] Second edition declared limited to 500 copies, after the first edition of 1998, which was also printed in 500 copies

[35] A print-on-demand book; this copy produced early 2020

[36] Appears a print-on-demand publication. Registered online as having been first published in May 2020. This copy purchased early 2021

[37] Expanded from the edition of 1985 by the addition of the text of Zane’s previously published lecture delivered to the Astrologers’ Guild of America on 16. December 1979, “The Meaning of Chiron”, copyrighted 1980 (pp. A1-A8), and his previously published pamphlet Interpreting Chiron, 2nd Edition, 1985 (after the 1st of 1983) (pp. B-B12)

[38] Internal references show this production to be from in or after 1995

[39] Consisting of photocopies of pp. 186-7 and 36-9 from the book “Asteroid Goddesses” by Demetra George, q.v.. With this in mind, and in view of copyright laws, it is a safe bet that this was not an official publication for general distribution, but rather a handout used in a teaching context, produced unofficially in small numbers – although it does have an art cover and is properly printed for the most part

[40] There is no expressly stated editorial role, so for the purposes of this record, the editor attribution is gleaned from the stated authorship of the lead article in each issue
