Their use has become significant to a few Western astrologers yet still only a minority of astrologers uses the asteroids in chart interpretation. After the first four asteroids that is Chiron, Juno, Pallas Athena and Vesta were discovered, other asteroids would not be another discovered for 38 years. The first four gained popularity as full fledged planets, but the rapid development of telescopes led to new asteroids being frequently discovered in what is now known as the main belt. Some astronomers grouped the first 10 other asteroids along side the first four asteroids as planets until the reclassification that was decided upon after the discovery of Hygiea, the 10th known other asteroids.
This was the 10th discovered among the other asteroids and is fourth in size ranking. In mythology Hygeia was the feminine part and the consort of Asclepios, the Greek god of medicine and a mythological healer strongly connected to the solar cult of Apollo. It seems that Hygiea, one of the other asteroids rules the health practices and is integrated into medical astrology, but in her negative side has something to bring in cases of depression and anxiety of a higher level than usual. The status of Hygiea which is among other asteroids is practically unknown at the moment in western astrology.

Other than Chiron, Juno, Pallas Athena and Vesta, other asteroids are used in astrology in a similar way to the planets. Asteroids are planetoids that orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, and are not confused with Centaurs or Trans Neptunian Objects. The other asteroids are relatively new to astrology, having only been discovered in the 1800s. However, some of the other asteroids are believed by some astrologers to influence human affairs. Still though, they are often ignored within astrology.
