HADES
Hades is one of the eight hypothetical planets (sometimes referred to as the trans-
Neptunian points or planets, or TNPs for short) utilized in Uranian astrology. The
Uranian system, sometimes referred to as the Hamburg School of Astrology, was
established by Friedrich Sieggrün (1877–1951) and Alfred Witte (1878–1943). It
relies heavily on hard aspects and midpoints. In decline for many decades, it has experienced
a revival in recent years.
Hades is associated with such negative conditions and substances as poverty,
ugliness, garbage, dirt, sickness, bacteria, loneliness, debasement, vulgarity, and crime.
It is also connected with “past lifetimes,” the ancient past, and secrets, and in certain
combinations can even represent ancient wisdom and the older sciences. This hypothetical
planet can have positive meanings, particularly when found in the horoscopes
of individuals who deal with such Hades matters as the healing of disease.
Based on the speculative orbits of the Uranian planets, the Kepler, Solar Fire
and Win*Star software program will all locate this hypothetical planet in an astrological
chart.
