It would be none at all since it would have no aspect. Spells can be polarized without an element or balanced between the polarities with an element(and pretty much anywhere in between).
Arcanist would be based on the concept of mostly unaspected aether (hence why their spells are all detrimental effects that take time rather than heavy bursts of fire and etc, they're essentially just manipulating aether in it's more raw form than applying elements to it). I can't truly answer Astrologian since that's WAY beyond my territory of understand, but aspected aether taking on multiple elements doesn't seem to be too new an idea either. I also always figured that was why basic arcanist skills are more clear/blank looking, as they're not attributed to any element but do still have the polarities of aether they manipulate(I also just revised that graph I wrote in my journal entry if you want a peek at that in Town Square as a better example, as it's why I asked my question originally).
