You're very right here. And given the very huge amount of money built with the astrological business today in various countries, it won't be long before some books start being published by some "famous" astrologues, inventing their notations and defending them in various astrological meetings. Just look at the too vast number of books and papers published each year with these astrological symbols, and you'll immediately see the impact of such discovery on publishers that will want some standard fonts and then standard plain-text characters to represent these new "valuable" symbols As long as there will be business for astrology, new symbols for them will be created, and used by more and more people. Mythology has never been so strong as today among western populations, even when they are highly educated or respecting their religion that normally forbids the adoration of "icons".
