largest minor bodies in our solar system

Largest Minor Bodies in our Solar System
and their significance

We've come a long way since Ceres the 1st asteroid was discovered in 1801. With larger and better telescopes the total number of minor bodies discovered by astronomers has exploded. There are now close to a million such bodies catalogued by the Minor Planet Center of the IAU, and many more to come. Here is a list of the largest ones known so far (mid Sep 2026).

You can print or save this list and then add your astrological positions to it. It will take 10 or so letter-sized pages in portrait mode to print (the print will be a little small). If you use landscape mode it will take 18 or so letter-sized pages but the print will be larger and clearer.

Note: Minor planet size estimates may vary according to source and are subject to change. The following list was obtained (and partially modified) from here (scroll down for listing).

The minor planets in astrology complement or enhance the influences of the major planets and are worth looking into. Although astronomers have classified Pluto as a minor planet, most astrologers including myself see it as a major planet or influence. While not yet official, Eris may come to hold this distinction as well.

The following bodies which measure between 400 and 500 miles diameter may also qualify as dwarf planets.

If you wish to know the Zodiacal positions of the minor planets you can go
to the many ephemerides in the Tables section of this site, or you can visit such free
sources as Astro.com, AstroSeek, Serennu, or TrueNode.com. The number of the body is key.

If you want a complete and easily navigable listing of all 900,000 asteroids/minor bodies by number
go here.

Or, if you already have an astrological software program like Phoenix, Kepler, Astro Gold, Janus, Matrix, etc.
these can also calculate hundreds if not thousands of your exact minor planet/asteroid positions.

The following bodies measure between 300 and 400 miles diameter and are unlikely to qualify as dwarf planets.

Named bodies have more weight astrologically than unnamed bodies but I have included the largest
unnamed bodies should they be named one day. When are we going to get some major bodies in those
wide gaps between Pluto and Eris and Eris and Sedna!? Come on, astronomers, we're all waiting!

It's funny how astronomers have resorted to measuring a body through its radius. Stop making things complicated! Just give a mean diameter for goodness sake! Also, I prefer the English measuring system of miles, feet, and inches (twelve-based) to the European decimal (ten-based) system of kilometers and meters. Ten is the beast system so I guess that rules for now.

The following bodies measure between 200 and 300 miles in diameter and are dominated by the plutino's and SDO's.

There are not too many minor planets in the 200+ mile range but it really starts to pile up below that. While size in't everything, it's a good indicator of strength or influence in astrology. What's equally important, however, is whether that body has been KNIGHTED or ENDOWED with astrological power. Not everyone can become the President of a country and its the same with the planets or bodies. Pluto, for example, is tiny (or so the astronomers say). but it packs tremendous power, equal to any of the other major bodies.

The following bodies measure between 100 and 200 miles in diameter and are dominated by the main belt asteroids between Mars and Jupiter.

Many in the esoteric camp consider the planets to be archons, rebels who left their thrones or estates and became "wanderers" or moving stars. They also believe that the minor planets or asteroids are the minions of these larger principalities(planets) who fell(broke up) and are now referred to as demons or the fallen ones. Whether they are angelic or demonic or simply rocks in outer space, they still exercise influence over us and must be noted.

The following minor planets are from 50 to 100 miles diameter and there are plenty of them. This group is also dominated by the main belt asteroids between Mars and Jupiter.

Basically, the minor planets are the moons and fragments of destroyed planets or larger bodies. Even some of the smaller planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars may once have been moons. Some of the large moons of Jupiter and Saturn, if dislodged, can also become planets. At least that's the astronomical explanation. If you're a flat Earther it's a whole other explanation; all of the heavenly bodies, including Sun and Moon, would all be within the dome or just outside of it.

The following bodies are less than 50 miles diameter and are mostly between Mars and Jupiter, with some centaurs extending almost to Neptune. Many of the asteroids under 5 miles diameter are named after people and places and are endless.

Maybe the lesson of the asteroids or minor bodies is that all of us are important in the scheme of things, no matter how small or insignificant we appear to be. We all have a role to play whether it be leading or supporting, and that not all power should be given to a select few. Look at what the world has become under our rulers and leaders. Regulus is no longer in Leo but has moved to humble Virgo since 2012, and for the next 2000 years everyone will be their own king or queen.

The billions of wandering broken up fragments in the heavens are YOU and ME as we try to piece ourselves back together again. We must heal and reunite and recognize our purpose and divinity.
