The three new planets

[Guest guest]

Hi, it's been some time that I didn't enter here, so my best wishes

for you all.

 

I was wondering if you could enlighten me on this topic of the three

new planets and how it is going to affect astrology as we know it.

Also, they are saying today that Pluto is no longer a planet as we

thought it was, it's like a minor planet, belonging to those remote

and cold little planets or asteroids in our system.

 

Thanks for answering me whenever any of you can.

Hi...

 

I expect that astrologers will contiinue to use Pluto in thir horoscopes,

though it would make sense to place less emphasis on Pluto ruling a sign,

which most tropical astrologers say is Scorpio. Some sidereal astrologers

have given Pluto to Aries along with Mars. No doubt astrologers who use

asteroids will continue to use Ceres and don't care if it's called an

asteroid or a dwarf planet.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if astrologers continue to use nine planets. This

may also not be the end of the matter for 'all eternity.' Who knows?

Astronomers may shift their opinion again in the future. But if you look at

Pluto's orbit, it's way off compared to the other planets. Of course, from

the astrological point of view, having an out of kilter orbit could

symbolize experiences beyond the ordinary such as near-death or astral

experiences. Astronomers deal only with the physical universe.

 

Perhaps the decision of astronomers is a pointer to astrologers to give

Pluto more of a metaphysical emphasis. Edgar Cayce said the Pluto had to do

with the developing awareness toward the spiritual that would become

evident in the next 200 years. It may be that many of the ideas currently

associated with Pluto by astrologers simply belong to Mars or one of the

other planets. Remember that Pluto rules a realm not of the earth.
