"Centaurs" are a tiny group of seven unusual bodies, neither comets nor asteroids, but possessing qualities of both. The first centaur, Chiron was discovered in 1977, the second, Pholus, in 1992 and the third, Nessus, in 1993. The centaurs have a primarily elliptical orbit in the outer solar system, and most likely originated from the Kuiper belt. They have long orbital periods from 49 (Chiron) to 123 (Nessus) years. Some astrologers believe the centaurs to be highly significant in an astrological chart. The study of asteroids in astrology is contoversial, but many astrologers believe that the asteroids do indeed have a part to play in the assessment of an astrological chart. The asteroids are important in archetypal astrology, and include Ceres (the Great Mother), Pallas Athena (Goddess of Wisdom), Vesta (the Temple Priestess) and Juno (Goddess of Marriage) amongst many others.

Chinese Astrology is the popular name for that distinct variety of astrology employing a cycle of twelve years and five elements which is shared by China, the nations within its cultural orbit (Mongolia, Tibet, the Koreas, Japan, VietNam and South-East Asia in general) and the many peoples of central Asia who are of Mongolian descent, as far West as the Kurds of the Middle East.

Classical and Traditional astrology are forms which have remained untouched since the Renaissance, Medieval or Ancient periods. Horary astrology (using astrology to answer questions based on a chart of the question) and electional astrology (using astrology to choose the most auspicious date for an event) are two of these forms. Medical astrology is also included here, as again it is an ancient form.

From an astrological consultant or counsellor you would expect a higher level of service than from those selling computer-generated reports. Consultations may be in person, via email or by phone, and sometimes written reports or audio recordings are available to back this up. A wider range of analysis is usually on offer too, including perhaps karmic analysis, career counselling, and problem-solving.

Esoteric astrology seeks to incorporate the personality within a broader contextual framework linking the personality with the soul. The field of esoteric astrology has developed through the contributions of H. P. Blavatsky (founder of the Theosophical Society), Tibetan Master Dhjwal Kuhl (DK) with Alice A. Bailey (co-founder of Lucis Trust), Rudolf Steiner, Alan Leo, and E. H. Bailey. Interpretations in esoteric astrology are based upon full knowledge of the seven creative rays of energy emanating from the Big Dipper. Esoteric astrology, as written in the Bailey texts, is a preparation and explanation for Soul infusion. In Esoteric Astrology, the rising sign of the horoscope sets the keynote for the soul's purpose with the esoteric ruler of the rising sign showing how and where the soul's purpose works out.

Evolutionary Astrology is a holistic form of astrology centered around seven basic principles: (1)That Humans incarnate in a succession of lifetimes, (2)That the purpose of reincarnation is the evolution of the soul, (3)That the birth chart reflects the evolutionary condition of the Soul, (4)That the birth chart reflection the evolutionary intention of the Soul, (5)That circumstances are never random or pointless, (6)That, as Humans are Free-Will creatures interacting in a multidimensional environment, there is always an element of variance and unpredictability, (7)That, as beings of Free-Will, we are each responsible for our internal and external environment through the power of choice. In Evolutionary Astrology evolution is synonymous with increasing states of union and temperance, with the purpose of reuniting the Soul with its Universal Source. The astrological chart is examined from the point of view of the whole being (that is, the Soul's spiritual, mental, & emotional patterns), and in terms of past action, present condition, and future impulse.

The Uranian System of astrology has its roots in the work of Alfred Witte, the founder of The Hamburg School of Astrology. His genius is credited with the introduction of a movable dial with which to examine a horoscope, the reintroduction of several discarded but worthwhile ancient techniques (such as arabic parts, primary directions, eclipse saros cycles, and planetary hours) and with the postulation of 'planets' beyond the orbit of Neptune. Hans Niggemann, a student, friend, and colleague of Alfred Witte, brought the concepts of The Hamburg School to the United States and coined the name "Uranian System of Astrology". The Uranian System is distinguished from other systems by the use of all of the following general characteristics: the movable dial, the Meridian house system, planetary pictures, solar arc directions and the transneptunian planets. The competent Uranian astrologer is also a competent traditional astrologer, and uses the techniques of each system to supplement the other.
