I will admit up front that I do not believe in astrology/horoscopes/zodiac. However, I know many people do and that the planets play an important role in astrology. Now that Pluto is no longer a planet, how will that impact astrology? For that matter, Pluto wasn't even known to exist until 1930, how did that effect astrology?

Classical, traditional, and medieval Astrologers do not use the outer planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in their delineations, modern Astrologers utilize them.
Whether or not Pluto is classified as planet or not is irrelevant to modern practitioners of Astrology. The qualities associated with Pluto: power, control, transformation and the destroying or reforming urge, are still applicable whether it is called a planet or an ice dwarf.
Astrologers use other bodies in addition to planets in our calculations, such as asteroids. Ceres, an asteroid, one of the bodies they may call a planet, already is in use by modern Astrologers. Some other asteroids currently being used are Juno, Pallas, and Vesta. Chiron, a centaur, is also extensively in use.
In summary, it makes do difference to what Pluto is classified as, the characteristics associated with it still stand.

Astrology had been around for a long time before Pluto was recognized as a planet in 1930, so astrology actually changed just a little bit to accomodate the new planet and now it can go back to how it was before. It didn't affect anything all that much as far as what I can remember reading...

Like many professional (and a few newbie) astronomers, i'm a member of the international Astronomical Union. i develop into on the final assembly, held in Prague, Czech Republic in 2006. the unique notion develop into to formally outline a planet. The definition as used on the time could have greater beneficial the form of planets interior the photograph voltaic device to twelve, because it could have extra Ceres, Sharon and Eris. It develop into felt this develop into no longer a pragmatic answer, and so those 3, plus Pluto have been redefined as Dwarf Planets or Plutoids. very almost all specialists agreed with the determination, however some newbie contributors have been against. in short, decrease than the hot definition of "planet", Pluto is merely too small to qualify.

First horoscopes and astrology are just a bunch of jokes. If you call something in the solar system a planet or a rock how can the change affect anything? It is still where it was and has whatever affect it previously had.

Everything will work like always, Pluto not being an official planet, will not affect because as our ancestors did, they were guided by what they saw, mostly stars, ones bigger than others, so same applies here.

I actually read about this somewhere... Pluto is supposed to affect Scorpio (me) but before it was discovered it was Mars. The article said both Pluto and Mars affect Scorpio. But I'm with you. This is all just for fun to me, laugh when it's wrong, nod your head when it's right LOL.
Anyway here is where I read it if you are interested:
