A scaling theory is used to show that for temperatures T\ensuremath≪U, the properties of the asymmetric Anderson model (U\ensuremath≫|Ed|, \ensuremathΔ) are universal functions of the scaling invariants \ensuremathΔ and Ed*=Ed+(\frac\ensuremathΔ\ensuremathπ)ln(\fracW0\ensuremathΔ), where W0 is the conduction electron bandwidth or U, whichever is smaller. Crossovers between various regimes of simple behavior as the temperature changes are described. |Ed*|\ensuremath\lesssim\ensuremathΔ is identified as the criterion for a "mixed-valence" ground state, where the susceptibility \ensuremath≈\ensuremathΔ^\ensuremath-1. For \ensuremath-Ed*\ensuremath≫\ensuremathΔ, there is a local-moment regime with a Kondo temperature TK\ensuremath≈\ensuremathΔexp(\frac\ensuremathπEd*2\ensuremathΔ).
