How will the changes of Pluto's category affect my astrological chart?

Question

Ok, so a lot of people have been asking how the change of Pluto from a planet to a dwarf planet will affect their charts. Here is a statement I received from astrology.com.

Pluto joined our solar systems family of planets in 1930. Seventy-six years later, as astronomers have discovered more and more orbiting bodies, including asteroids, comets, moons and as-yet-unclassified bodies, the International Astronomical Union has reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.

But this doesn't mean that you should disregard Pluto's place in your charts! It hasnt left the solar system; it's just in a new category.

Historically, astrologers have examined events in the world at the time of a planet's discovery for clues about what it represents. As god of the underworld, Pluto represents power, transformation, the cycle of death and rebirth, and the process of breaking down and rebuilding. And now the status of Pluto itself is transforming -- a sure sign of its power and influence!

Time will tell if the scope of Pluto's symbolism will decrease as a result of its reclassification. In the meantime, Pluto retains all its astrological significance, as it continues to orbit our Sun.

Sincerely,

Classical, traditional, and medieval Astrologers do not use the outer planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in their delineations, modern Astrologers utilize them. The traditionalists still practicing today will continue to ignore the outer planets in their delineations, just as they have always done.

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 know from studying charts for 76 years, since Pluto's discovery, that Scorpio is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto. That will not change.

Astrologers use other bodies (not just 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. Other asteroids currently being used are Juno, Pallas, and Vesta. Chiron, a centaur, is also extensively in use. Chiron is believed to be ruled by Virgo. Non-planetary bodies can be ruled or in dignity by one of the 12 zodiac signs. Another example of that is the lunar nodes. In Western Astrology, the North Node is Exalted in Gemini and the South Node is Exalted in Sagittarius. The North Node is in Fall in Sagittarius and the South Node is in Fall in Gemini.

It makes do difference as to what Pluto is categorized as, planet, ice dwarf, or whatever the astronomers come up with as a classification system, the characteristics associated with it still stand.
