Stars Above
I've been poking around the web looking for repercussions of the recent Pluto decision on astrology.  So far nothing of much interest.  I would have thought astrologers would be all in a tizzy over this.  They have long since been factoring Pluto into their calculations (see here, for example); so don't they now have to start including Ceres and Xena in their charts?  Or dropping Pluto?  Or something?  Are there, among NER's wide and—yes!— diverse readership, any professional astologers who might clarify matters for us?

Some numerical minority of astrologers has been using some asteroids in their horoscopes for a long time. But given that 990 out of 1000 astronomers are probably opposed to belief in astrology, I think the astrologers don't feel obliged to accept the astronomers as authorities on anything but where the planets are (if that).
