When I see a chart filled with dozens of objects alongside the traditional planets, it doesn’t make the chart clearer to me. Jozef 'Jotown' Slanda, a classical astrologer based out of Detroit, Michigan states, "I often wonder if the proliferation of asteroids and dwarf planets in modern astrology is making astrology better or worse. In classical astrology, astrologers did not use these planets in interpreting a person's chart, so many astrologers today do not either.Īstrologer, David Muir, a Denver, Colorado practitioner who specializes in Relocation astrology says, "There is so much you can learn with the ten planets, and that's worth focusing on", and many traditional astrologers feel the same. In astrology, however, Pluto is often interpreted as an outer planet and the minor dwarf planets are Makemake, Quaoar, Eris, Varuna, and Sedna. The International Astronomical Union issued a press release announcing their categorization on Jstating that plutoids were ".celestial bodies in orbit around the Sun at a semimajor axis greater than that of Neptune that have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that they assume a hydrostatic equilibrium (near-spherical) shape, and that have not cleared the neighborhood around their orbit." Dwarf planets are often referred to as 'Plutoids" an astronomy term.
