There are quite a few other trans-Neptunian bodies that are used by some astrologers, particularly those that call themselves вЂњUranianвЂќ astrologers. I have just started incorporating Eris into client charts, and some astrologers are looking at Sedna and Quaoar. Once we begin talking about planets outside of our solar system I would make the assumption that there would be no astrological effect on Earth.Д®ris, Sedna, and Quaoar are all вЂњtrans-Neptunians,вЂќ meaning they are located past Neptune but still within our solar system. It seems to me, though, that astrology was given to us as a tool to observe planets in OUR solar system. Asteroids, Chiron (a sort of permanent comet), other bodies in the Kuiper Belt, all of these planetary bodies belong to our solar system and have some astrological effect for humans on planet Earth. StevenвЂ™s philosophy is вЂњas above, so below,вЂќ the principle on which astrologers usually rely in explaining how astrology works, applies to most things in the sky. In the conversation with Steven Forrest that I taped for last weekвЂ™s radio show I asked him his thoughts on adding new planets to the astrological repertoire. вЂњKepler is operating at the level required to detect Earth-size planets,вЂќ the team, led by William Borucki of the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, reported.

But measurements of its orbit by Kepler show the telescope will be able to see smaller planets, they reported in the journal Science. The planet, called HAT-P-7b, was already among the 300 or so known so-called extrasolar planets, the team led by the U.S.

T he orbiting Kepler telescope has spotted a Jupiter-sized planet around another star - a sighting that demonstrates it can see Earth-like planets if they are out there, scientists reported on Thursday.
