I am currently rereading Steven Johnson's book Emergence. Now I confess I have a great interest in Compexity theory (which emergence theory is a part), quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and superstring/M theory as well as spirituality and metaphysics. As I was contemplating how cities emerged from rural societies, it struck me that as we move into the Aquarian Age, we may see new forms of astrology bloom forth.
This is not saying that the current form of astrology will die, for there will always be people who will cling to the old ways beyond the point of serving anyone. Yet there is new life approaching and astrology will need to reflect this.
For instance, perhaps as we move beyond our own solar system into the region of the three centaur stars (Proxima Centauri and the Alpha Centauri binary system), we would see different constellations because the solar system would become part of a constellation itself. The pictures in the sky would have to change because we are looking at the stars from a different vantage point. We might need to reimagine what the reference points were because we would no longer be under the on-going influence of Sol's planetary legion. If we were born on Earth, of course the natal horoscope would remain the same but the transits would become moot whereas what is happening in the Centauri neighborhood would increasingly become relevant energy influences on the chart.
Of course, one cannot say what lies around the Centauri neighborhood because of its distance and we do not know how the human race that would journey to Centauri would transform and transmute through that voyage. So let's step back into our own system for a moment and imagine living in a colony on Europa. The Sun is almost a star and Jupiter is in a similar relationship to Europa as the Sun is to the Earth. It is the energy force of the Jovian system, sending off different radiation than the solar radiation Earthlings are accustomed to, but still having its effects just the same.
As humans lose contact with the old Earth-based mythologies, the pictures in their sky on Europa will change. They will have a different astrology than Earth-based astrology because their home world will have different "planets" circling their "star". Yes, they will still know that Jupiter orbits the Sun, it will be part of their mythology. But their "planet" will orbit Jupiter, just as the other "planets" in the Jovian system orbit Jupiter. These will be the "planets" that have most affect on them personally whereas the planets nearest the Sun will be like Pluto is for the Earth, far and distant, remote and, for some, very scary.
Neither geocentric or heliocentric astrology will work for Europans because it does not help explain their world-reality. They will need a different type of astrology, one that is portable and not dependent on one world's view of space.
Perhaps it is time to move toward a local group type of astrology. It will emerge organically from today's myriad expressions of Earth-based astrology and move beyond them. The local group refers galaxies in the Virgo Supercluster in which the Milky Way belongs. Now some would point out that the problem with using the local group is that there are 43 agreed upon galaxies within the local group and an additional six more that might make it into local group status. 49 galaxies seem to either be overkill or information overload.
I would argue, however, that perhaps with the energy shifts into new consciousness that humanity is making, this is not that astronomical. Right now it might seem beyond the point of comprehension (isn't it hard enough to get the mind around the current system?), yet as we emerge into the new dimensional consciousness, we will be able to handle the energy of 49 galaxies in our astrological thinking.
Of course, this will mean a whole new geometry of astrology. The shape of the chart may change because there will be multiple planes for the galaxies to be on in relationship to one another. A whole new look for a whole new range of energies.
This type of astrology will probably take a few generations to develop. It will not be like any other astrology humanity has had. It will not be "landlocked," so to speak, but totally portable within the Milky Way. Once humans move out of the Milky Way, the system will emerge anew and reflect the sensibilities of those people.
Today we have the chance to start laying the groundwork. Are we ready?

), but my answer is why not? Granted we're not going to move out of the Milky Way any time soon and any theories we'd start about the Portable Astrology (I like the term 
, to then turn around and evolve back up and out of this lower energetic and consciousness state with our invaluable, very hard earned booty! And on it goes.....
