Question

Did anything happen to horoscopes when they said Pluto wasn't a planet after all?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Probably not because I don't think pluto is in the zodiac

Answer 3

they were meaningless before pluto was discovered.

they were meaningless after pluto was discovered.

they are meaningless now.

Answer 4

No, they're still worth less than the paper they are printed on.

Answer 5

astrology deals with the zodiac signs (13 in all, although, in modern astrology only 12 of them are used) which are just star constellations, nothing changed when pluto was demoted, because pluto wasn't part of astrology to begin with. there is a very low basis of any planets in astrology....

on a side note, back when astrology was first created, the signs were connected to diffrent months... back then, using my current birth date, i would have been a gemini, not a cancer (born july 13th) and actually, gemini fits me alot better then cancer does.

Answer 6

Why don;t you try to find out whether Ceres was used in horoscopes for the 50 years it was considered a planet (ca.1800 to 1850).

As has already been stated - Pluto was only discovered in 1930 - so horoscopes got along fine with out it before that.

In fact until Uranus was discover a little over 200 years ago, only the planets out to Saturn would have been included.

Astrology is pseudoscience - the position of the planets have no bearing on your life. By all means enjoy reading your horoscope - just don;t take it too seriously - its all bollox

Answer 7

No. Pluto wasn't known before 1930 and still, astrology was able to work without it.

Actually, only five planets other than Earth had been known to astronomers until the last two centuries.

Astrology is mostly applied psychology - it has very little to do with real astronomy anymore.
