Reference Guide: Asteroids & Points

This reference guide is for major asteroids and points on the chart that aren't really in the same category as the planets.

Tips:

• Designate time in your studies to work with these placements outside of the major planets.

• Any bonus episode & journal guide available is linked to the corresponding asteroid.

• Remember, these are a collection of both physical bodies in our solar system, as well as astrological points that are calculated in the chart, but don't necessarily exist physically in the solar system.
