Hello,

I'm writing text/notes where there is a need to often enter astro
(planets, zodiac) symbols.

So far, I'd use:

\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{marvosym}

in my preamble (not sure which one is required) and then:

\Aries as ert.

Now I'd like to define some kind of snippets/abbreviations to enter
Unicode symbols like: "♈"

This is easy in e.g. editors like Emacs, but I'd like to focus more on
solely using LyX as The Editor for all my non-coding stuff.

Any hint?

You can redefine the key bindings to do this. Just assign, in this case, "unicode-insert 2648" to whatever key you want. (The codepoint is given in hex.) You can also define key sequences, so maybe something like Alt-Shift-A and then a again, for Aries; different follow-ups for other symbols.
