The Kuiper Belt
From page 138 in "You and the Universe:" Pluto's 2.6 to 4.6 billion-mile orbit from the Sun is so elliptical that it was actually closer to the Sun than Neptune from 1979 to 1999.
Kuiper Belt: a disk-shaped region of many small icy bodies extending from just beyond Neptune's orbit to about three times further out from the Sun.
KBO Kuiper Belt Object. Small rocky bodies orbiting beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt. Pluto has been classed by some contemporary astronomers as a KBO. KendraIn Vedic astrology, a term for angular house. See Angles.
The Kuiper Belt is a disc-like region extending from 30 to 1,000 AU (an AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun which takes light 8 minutes to cross), Jupiter is about 5 AU from the Sun, and the Oort Cloud extends from 6,000 to 20, ...
Some astronomers have long argued that Pluto's small size, less than one-fifth the diameter of Earth, and a weird tilted orbit that takes it inside Neptune every couple hundred years, make Pluto more like a Kuiper Belt body than a full-fledged ...
Chiron is an interesting planetary body whose orbit lies in the Kuiper belt. But just as Chiron was not an ordinary Centaur even though he was half horse and half man, Chiron is not just an ordinary KBO (Kuiper Belt Object).
It may have originated in the Kuiper Belt where Pluto resides - the birthplace of comets, and an area of the solar system that is capable of bridging the higher dimensions to Earth and the lower planes.

The centaur-class asteroid (it lies beyond the Kuiper belt) Pholus, was explored briefly as possibly having some kind of rulership over clowning. Joyfully making a fool of oneself.
Kuiper Belt Objects like Quoaor and Sedna show us that there is more to our solar system than we previously knew or suspected. Their cycles are much longer than what we have so far encountered, like Sedna's orbit of 10,500 years.
Interesting program includes the newly discovered Kuiper Belt object Quaoar.

Modern Planets. Refers to those planets discovered in "modern" times: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, although the latter had its status as planet downgraded to a dwarf planet or an item in the Kuiper belt in the early 21st century.
Since Pluto has been down-graded in status from being a planet to being what is now termed a dwarf planet, it is likely that astrologers will being exploring other trans-Neptune or Kuiper belt bodies falling into this category.
