I'm guessing the argument will be "Just because its been downgraded does not lesson its effect on the universe or the other signs"
Assuming of course you buy into the fact that a spinning ball of rock / gas millions of miles away will affect if you have a bad day at the office.

Cynic that I am, I think they were always null and void, but if you believe in that stuff, you can take heart from the fact that no astrologer before 1930 had ever heard of Pluto, and therefore never took it into consideration. From ancient Babylon, or wherever it started from, until 1930, Pluto wasn't part of the equation. Since Uranus and Neptune weren't discovered until the 18th century, they weren't part of the calculus for most of that time either. The ancients didn't know about anything past Saturn. So maybe the astrology freaks could consider this the first step in getting back to basics!

Like many professional (and some amateur) astronomers, I am a member of the International Astronomical Union. I was at the General Assembly, held in Prague, Czech Republic in 2006. The original proposal was to formally define a planet. The definition as used at the time would have increased the number of planets in the Solar System to 12, as it would have added Ceres, Sharon and Eris. It was felt this was not a sensible solution, and so those 3, plus Pluto were redefined as Dwarf Planets or Plutoids. Almost all professionals agreed with the decision, though some amateur members were against. In short, under the new definition of "planet", Pluto is too small to qualify.

As regular as clockwork, somebody asks this rather smugly without bothering to notice that other bodies (asteroids, the moon, etc) are used in Astrology, so they expect a Planetoid status to result in Pluto being removed form an astrological framework. Heck, Pluto wasn't even discovered until the 20th century.
Funny thing is: people really into Astrology seem to know more about Astronomy than the folks who ask such questions.

No, because it is only a name that has been given to pluto - first it was a planet, now it is not. But that doesn't change the effect that it has on everything - it has had the same influence when it was not named at all.

Well it's still there whether it is classed as a planet or not. So if you believe in astrology, it wont make ay difference.Be interesting to see what the astrologists would do if a tenth planet were discovered

They have ALWAYS been null and void!! ;-)
In addition, Pluto was only discovered in 1930, long after astrology was invented.
