Hi Sue,
"And TS, yes, that mnemonic could work but we might have to keep in mind the other twelve heavenly bodies they are considering upgrading. Might make for a very long sentence."
Indeed. Though, I'd suggest making it two sentences instead. Astrologers are rarely short of a word.
Astrology's like an onion (to borrow from Frawley) ... and to peel back one layer can simply illuminate a new sentence.
At a broad level I'm thinking we have around 5 sentences (no doubt there's plenty of descriptive prose to be added) ...
Sent. 1 - Wanderers to Saturn
Sent. 2 - Wanderers beyond Saturn (which would include sub-category of plutons)
Sent. 3 - Asteroids (or as Tom refers to it the 'space dust' in the middle ... the bodies incorporated!)
Sent. 4 - out to the circle of Fixed Stars
Sent. 5 - the observations & calculations, eg. aspects, Arabic parts, mid-points etc which help bring it all down to earth again via some reasoned thought.
And we can choose to use and focus on it as as a two step process (Sent. 1 & 5) or a 3 step process (Sent. 1, 4 & 5) or more. That's the beauty, as well as the challenge - choice.
