If traditional western and Vedic astrologers happily get by with out it, more power to them. I know that my horoscope-reading ability would be hampered without Pluto in the repertory.[/QUOTE]
I actually came across some literature online (can't seem to find the appropriate link else I would have posted it), which suggested that the ancient Puranas (ancient text of astrology, astronomy and mythology) had actually predicted that in the new era of Kali-yuga (age of darkness, which we are currently going through and have another 432,000 Vedic years to complete), 3 planets shall be discovered in the future. This author of this article to which I refer to, has suggested that now Vedic astrology has begun to accept the significance of the Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Uranus represents Bhrama (the generator), Neptune (Maya/illusions) represents Vishnu (the operator) and Pluto's deathly/transformational like characteristic represents Shiva/Mahesh (the destroyer). If you add the three together it forms G + O + D = GOD. Strangely enough the seers of ancient appear to have been right. Coincidence? I'm not at all sure myself.
A very accurate means of describing Pluto's role.
I have Sun square Pluto natally, and I can most certainly say that it has lived up to textbook description especially as it's in my 5th house. My relationship with my father is like a radioactive isotope ready to unstable U-239!

Positively: your capacity for self-transformation, often in the face of difficulties. How you respond with courage and conviction in the face of all the odds stacked against you. Cyclical sense of time, with rebirth following death: the phoenix archetype.
Negatively: How you get embroiled in inter-personal power struggles, how you attract ruthless people into your life (or become ruthless), how massive events beyond your control sweep you up in them.

If you have any doubts about Pluto, see if you can find charts of people you know with sun-square Pluto natally; or look to hard Pluto transits in your life so far.
Other dwarf planets are under investigation. I don't think the small amount of research on them has been conclusive. I've spent a fair bit of time studying Ceres, and so far I don't see it having the impact of Pluto.
