A new undiscovered planet after Pluto

Pluto was downgraded to dwarf planet, but we all know the significance of Pluto.

I am however fascinated by a potential undiscovered planet that may exist:

It always puzzled me how in the world does astrology work out to be quite so fitting. I assume that astronomers named these planets. But the symbolism at least for Neptune and Pluto, in reference to mythology, appears to be working for astrology too. How in the world is this possible? I read that the symbolism for each planet should represent the era or the time when it is actually discovered. What would be the theme for the next planet?

Would it be called Niburu for this planet X?

Considering the significance of Pluto transits, any slower planets than that would be even more significant. That's just puzzling. What's not explained yet by all current transits, assuming that there is yet one more planets?

Check this out:

Uranus - Discovered 1781 - Succession A - Rules Aquarius (1 sign)
Asteroids- Discovered 1801-1809 - Succession B- Rules Virgo and Libra (2 signs)
Neptune - Discovered 1846 - Succession A - Rules Pisces (next sign in Succession A) (1 sign)
Pluto - Discovered 1930 - Succession B&A - Rules Scorpio and Aries (next signs after both successions) (2 signs)
Chiron - Discovered 1977 -Succession B - Rules Sagittarius (next sign in Succession B) (1 sign)
Transpluto (undiscovered) - Succession A&B - Rules Taurus and Capricorn (next signs in both successions) (2 signs)

A very neat pattern, right? Too bad the discoveries of all those other centaurs and TNOs messed it up.

Hi Astro Novice -- you might enjoy looking up the larger "trans Neptunian" dwarf planets Eris, Makemake, Quaoar, Gonggong, Orcas, Haumea, and Sedna.

If we look at how astrological rulerships are actually assigned, sign rulers have actual work to do in a horoscope analysis, so it shouldn't just be based upon conjecture, or even some kind of thematic affinity. A planet has to function as a house cusp ruler, for example.

There is a debate about "Nibiru" as "planet X," based on some ancient Babylonian references, but I think it's been resolved in favor of Nibiru being a phase of the planet Jupiter; back when they were working out how a morning and evening star could be the same planet. Also, discoveries of new planets by astronomers depend upon a range of factors, prior to them spotting it with a telescope, like the gravitational pull of an outer planet affecting the orbit of an inner one.

A huge question in astrology is why or how planetary characteristics based upon ancient mythology should seem to describe the function of planets in any astronomical sense.

yep a brown dwarf star is here warming up the planet but nasa is not going to tell you where it is. WHY? I think it's in taurus with jupiter + uranus.
good luck everyone.
