The fault, dear petosirus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, for we have inadequately developed eyesight! 
Is Neptune an Astrological Planet?

I was trolling with the light. The sizes and distances of the heavenly bodies are real astrological factors though.

But, if our eyesight was more acute, and we could see Neptune without a telescope, what then? Would your convenient size/distance ratio make any difference? LIke, "just ignore that transiting blue light up there, it's too far away for its size!".

Did you even read what I wrote?
Neptune is 21 times smaller than Jupiter, and Pluto is 126 times smaller than Mercury from the geocentric perspective on which astrology is based.

Jupiter is freakishly large, which makes it an anomaly, not a size-standard.
Jupiter is also more distant from the Earth than Mars, Venus and Mercury. It is still big and bright like a beneficent planet should be.

Neptune's diameter is about 50,000 kilometers, to Jupiter's 140,000. That's 3 times smaller, not 21 times smaller.
And is 7 times more distant on average from Earth, making it like 21 times smaller in effect. This is mostly why its apparent magnitude is 0.000... something % of that of Jupiter.

If you go by size and light, Linda Goldberg got it right! Well, the Moon is also important. The rest are just flashlights.
Sun and Moon are almost equal in size and almost equal in importance in traditional astrology, they are called luminaries and leaders of the respective sects.
And is 7 times more distant on average from Earth, making it like 21 times smaller in effect.

Saturn's not especially bright. What's its size/distance ratio?

That's based on your size/distance ratio theory, to which you're certainly entitled.
Funny fact - magnitude means size and planets can be ranked by this size
Saturn is slightly smaller than Jupiter, but is nearly 2 times more distant.

Indubitably, everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion

Okay. One more?

Uranus is about 2.5 times smaller and 4 times more distant than Jupiter, thus he is 10 times smaller. The sizes of the outer planets are relatively constant compared to those of Mars, Venus and Mercury.

So Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon dominant in terms of astrological effect, according to this theory. Is it your own thought-concept?
How did you conclude that Mars, Venus and Mercury are not dominant in astrological effect according to my theory?
