Not a lot known about this Centaur and there's not a lot of research done so far either....


MYTHOLOGY

There doesn't seem to be a lot written about Amycus. In fact, the main source of information comes from Ovid [Met.12.250], where we find out that Amycus was involved in the war with the Lapith's that began at the wedding of Theseus' friend Pirithous.

Amycus, son of Ophion, was the first who dared to rob the inner shrine of its offerings: he gave the lead by snatching from the sanctuary a branched candlestick, thickly hung with flaring lamps. Raising this aloft, as the priest raises the sacrificial axe when he strains to cleave through the snowy neck of the bull, Amycus dashed it against the forehead of the Lapith Celadon, and left him with his skull smashed, his face unrecognizable: for his eyes leaped from their sockets, his nose, pushed backwards as the bones of his face were shattered, was driven firmly into the middle of his palate.
Pretty nasty stuff. But Amycus doesn't avoid judgement for his actions:
But Pelates from Pella brought Amycus to the ground with a table leg, wrenched from a maplewood table. He drove his enemy's chin down into his breast and, as Amycus was spitting our a mixture of teeth and blood, struck him a second blow that despatched him to the shades of Tartarus.
We know that Amycus was the son of Ophion, also a Centaur. I'm sure his father mourned his son's death. And perhaps in Amycus' home, or cave, or wherever he once lived, there was indeed a hearth fire burning in a home that would never again see it's owner return. (Asbolus, too, died as a result of what happened at this wedding, so his home also would forever be deserted.)

ASTROLOGY

A lot of research needs to be done before we truly understand the nature of this Centaur, but here are a few things to think about.
On November 22, 2005, there was a conjunction of Amycus and Jupiter at 5 Scorpio 55. Some of the stories that made headlines around the world at that time included:

•Google announcd that it is giving $3 million to the U.S. Library of Congress to help set up a system for creating digital copies of rare documents from around the world, a "World Digital Library."
•China Tests RFID System for monitoring and tracking technologies at a poultry farm in an attempt to prevent the spread of bird flu.
•US President George W. Bush becomes the first leader of this country to visit Mongolia.
•The planned execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams made headlines. While he was the co-founder of the Crips gang, and he was convicted of having "shot and killed four people during two robberies in Los Angeles", the stories also focused on the fact that he had been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature (for writing children's books warning children against becoming gang members).
•Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced at a press conference today that Jose Padilla has been indicted, charged "with providing - and conspiring to provide - material support to terrorists, and conspiring to murder individuals who are overseas".
•Author Kurt Vonnegut stirred a lot of impassioned reaction to a statement that he made about terrorists. •Vonnegut said it was "sweet and honourable" to die for what you believe in, and rejected the idea that terrorists were motivated by twisted religious beliefs. "They are dying for their own self-respect," he said. "It's a terrible thing to deprive someone of their self-respect. It's like your culture is nothing, your race is nothing, you're nothing."
•President Bush planned to bomb Arab TV station al-Jazeera in the counry of Qatar, a supposedly "Top Secret" memo from #10 Downing Street purports, but (said the memo) he was talked out of it at a White House summit by Tony Blair, who said it would provoke a worldwide backlash.
