Uranus, Neptune & Pluto are Generational Planets - Discuss
What you have implied is incorrect. The actual reason traditional astrologers do not use the outer planets is far simpler: the real reason is because Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are invisible to the naked eye and may only be seen with the use of powerful telescopes. Since telescopes were unavailable thousands of years ago, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were invisible to the naked eye. So obviously traditional astrologers could not use Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are visible to the naked eye, therefore traditional astrologers used these seven visible planets thousands of years ago, just as traditional astrologers continue to. That is the reason traditional astrologers did not and do not use Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
I have been thinking this over and it occurs to me that the reason why traditional astrologers tend not to use the outers while modern astrologers do is: prediction. Traditional astrologers are interested in accurately predicting what is going to happen. They want to "solve problems" in a practical, reliable, one answer per person way. And the outer planets don't work like that. So they don't fit into the idea of prediction and fated occurrences.
