Source of Minor Planet Glyphs
Astro Gold includes glyphs for many asteroids, Centaurs and trans-Neptunian bodies. While the symbols for the major planets and a number of well-established minor bodies are widely recognised, many newly discovered objects have never had an officially adopted astrological glyph.
Wherever possible, Astro Gold uses the earliest published or most widely accepted glyph available from the astrological community. These include symbols developed and published by pioneering researchers such as Al H. Morrison, Robert von Heeren, Mark Holmes, Zane B. Stein and other contributors to the study of minor planets.
Internationally recognised for his extensive research into asteroids, Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects, Zane B. Stein has also contributed to the development of a number of glyphs used within Astro Gold. In cases where no published glyph existed, he designed symbols based on established astrological symbolism, the mythology or name of the body, or, where appropriate, its provisional designation. These glyphs were created to provide a practical and visually consistent means of displaying minor bodies within chart wheels.
As research into minor planets continues to evolve, Astro Gold may update glyphs in future releases where a symbol becomes more widely recognised within the astrological community.
Here is more detailed information regarding the source of asteroid glyphs:
