Pluto's fate

The Great and the er....Good have today decreed that Pluto shall no longer be classified as a planet. Pluto is now a "dwarf planet", along with Ceres and "Xena".

Astrologers will have varying reactions to this, I guess, depending on their current style of interpretation. Vedic astrologers and those who follow strictly classic principles in astrology, who didn't set much score by Pluto anyway will be feeling smug. Astrologers who already use some of the more outlying celestial bodies in their interpretations will take the change in their stride. The majority of middle of the road astrologers will probably hold conferences and huddles to decide how best to proceed, so as to present a "united front".

I shall wait for further news. I already have experience of Pluto's strength in my own chart. Dwarf or not, he's a force to be reckoned with.

A further interesting development will be how astrologers decide to deal with Ceres and "Xena". And where does the latest decree leave Chiron - given a fair amount of importance my many modern astrologers ?
