KRONOS
Kronos 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 expe-
rienced a revival in recent years.
Kronos indicates elevated matters, both literally and figuratively. Thus, Kronos
may represent, on one hand, mountains and airships and, on the other, leaders, execu-
tives, and government authorities. It may symbolize authority and expert status as well
as the questioning of authority and expertise.
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 astrologi-
cal chart.
