Since Pluto insn't a Planet any longer, what Planet rules Scorpio?

Question

What will the astrologers do now?

Answer 1

Pluto, the last planet to join the heavenly pantheon, became the first to leave it. The status of Pluto had been under discussion for some time, but with the discovery of 2003 UB313, nicknamed Xena, the question became acute, for it seemingly had as much right as Pluto to be called a planet.

On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union surprised the world by voting in a new definition of planet, one that would exclude Pluto and bring the total number down to eight. (There had previously been been strong speculation that the redefinition would bring the total up to 12 instead of down.)

Pluto was instead classified as a dwarf planet, along with Ceres and the aforementioned Xena. The main difference between a dwarf planet and the real thing is that the dwarf variety has not cleared the area of its orbital path.

This redefinition met with a wave of protests from those who wanted to see the ninth planet grandfathered in, including but not limited to supporters of the late Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930. His widow, however, said he would have been accepting of the IAU's decision since "he was a scientist" and understood that astronomers had to take into account newly discovered objects in the Kuiper Belt (where Pluto is located).

But opponents of Pluto's demotion remain unconsoled and have generated a thriving industry in T-shirts, mugs and other memorabilia. Among the many slogans of this movement was one which played on the mnemonic for the names of the erstwhile nine:

Answer 2

!0.What was the ruler of Scorpio before Pluto was discovered?

2) Pluto remains the same as a body. Its mass is the same , its orbit is the same.Just because a handful of people (myself included) decided not to call it a planet any more , how does its effect on human beings change?

Answer 3

I think that astrology.com's opinion, and mine, is that it doesn't really change anything. Whether we lable Pluto as a planet or not, if it was having any effect before what we call it isn't going to matter. It will still have the same astrological influence as it did before.
