why did they move Pluto off the planet line on our solar system and how does this effect the creating of brith chart and other things that has to do with reading the stars?

Astronomers recently discovered a large mass object that proved to be 5 times larger then Pluto. they named it Xena. They did not wish to consider this new discovery a planet so they decided to take away Pluto's planet title.
Also we have discovered that Pluto's chemical make-up is similar to a comet so now NASA and other organizations understand Pluto to be considered a comet.
This is interesting because we have found that comets are responsible for almost 30% of the water on earth.
In irony comets are made up of the same compounds of human. So what destroys us may also be responsible for giving us life.
Watch history channel's show "The Universe" for great information on many topics.
I hope this answered your question.

Poor Pluto has been demoted again.
Calculations published on Thursday show the distant world that astronomers no longer deem a planet is not even the largest of our solar system's so-called dwarf planets -- it is smaller than recently discovered dwarf planet Er

I watched a program on this over the weekend. Astrologers will continue using the influence of Pluto no matter what the "talking heads" decide about its status. The debate over its "planetary qualifications"
will continue for a long time.

Eris, the biggest dwarf planet oftentimes used, grew to become into chanced on in an ongoing survey at Palomar Observatory's Samuel Oschin telescope by using astronomers Mike Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale college). We formally suggested the call on 6 September 2006, and it grew to become into widely used and introduced on 13 September 2006.

supposedly its gotta be a certain diameter and round in order to be a planet. they say it looks too much like just a big rock floating along with the other planets. kind of sad that it took so long to memorize every planet back in the day... now.... pluto is gone... and i miss it because the science teacher basically made me WASTE MY TIME!!! THX ALOT 5TH GRADE.

How does it effect your chart? Not in the slightest. If it changes anything, you have to admit that the chart never worked in the first place. But it doesn't, so do whatever you like with it.
This is astronomy, not entertainment.

astrology was bunk before pluto was demoted and it remains bunk afterwards. the only thing you can predict by following the motions of the planets is the motions of the planets.
