I know that people are used to using it in interpretations, but I can't help but notice that it's smaller than Earth's moon, and incredibly far away. It's even smaller than other objects at the same distance like Eris.
I've personally found that Pluto's effect on things seems very hit and miss, a bit like using the asteroids. Basically, it MIGHT have an effect if it's on a sensitive point or something, but it only seems important in a minority of circumstances.
Given that Pluto's orbit is strongly affected by Neptune...is it possible that Pluto was just blown out of proportion, that people made it more important than it should have been?
Not saying that it shouldn't be used at all, but maybe it shouldn't have any rulerships or be used as a default object. I was thinking it should just be considered along the same lines as Vesta, Juno, Ceres, Chiron, and Pallas.
I know that some people only use 7 planets, but I've found that Neptune and Uranus actually do seem to have an impact. They're also larger than Pluto, and are gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. Pluto just seems too small and distant to have the same impact.
So, does anyone else think it might be worthwhile to follow the Astronomers in demoting Pluto? That would basically mean that rulership of Scorpio would revert to Mars, and Pluto would be used like any other additional object or asteroid in charts where people are looking for Plutonian themes.
