That is a very tall claim, traditional astrology was culmination of many civilisations but they all had their mathematics and astronomy, one thing led to another and finally we had traditional astrology.
If modern astrology were to be the next phase ideally it should consider all the elements and techniques from traditional astrology and then add whatever it wants provided it is relatable to traditional astrolgoy which is not the case. The people who spearheaded the modern astrology took very little from traditional astrology and added so much of psychology and called it modern.
Would you take only one or two elements of baroque music and add some jazz (not the music but figuratively) called it next phase of baroque music?
The next (and latest) phase of astrology itself is being labeled "Modern". It draws from the past phases of astrology to create something new. Hellenistic astrologers did the same thing regarding Egyptian and Babylonian techniques--kept what worked for them, and discarded the rest. It was no longer Egyptian or Babylonian, just as "Modern" is no longer "Traditional" (defined as Hellenistic through to, and including, the Renaissance).
