In answer to the original question:

It's a matter of opinion or usage; read dr farr.

I use 10 planets in natal. They provide extra information. In horary I use 7.

Pluto was demoted by astronomers because they needed to clean house; their action has no effect on astrological Pluto.

A word on the 3 outer planets. They are often said to be "generational" or "collective". And they are. But that is misleading.

They show trends in the collective, true, but more than that they show the native's responses to the collective trends. It is a serious mistake to relegate them to a secondary level because they are "generational". They most certainly act on the individual with great strength.

Hi,
I am new to Astrology
and was wondering for centuires thre astrolgers would have only used 7 planets
but we gradually went to ten the back to nine with Pluto now not deemed a planet.

Should readings only involved the original 7

and where does Pluto lie within this question.

Best Regards

That is entirely dependent on
whether one is a TRADITIONAL astrologer or a MODERNIST astrologer :smile:
and so

our forum hosts BOTH perspectives ON SEPARATE BOARDS
i.e.
our MODERN BOARD completely excludes traditional astrological comment
and
our TRADITIONAL BOARD completely excludes Modernist astrological comment

i.e.
We have a modernist board AS WELL AS a traditional board
and then
the rest of our forum is composed of GENERAL ASTROLOGY THREADS

i.e.
whether a member is using Vedic astrology
Chinese astrology, Western Sidereal Astrology, Modernist Astrology Traditional Astrology
ALL perspectives are welcomed on our General Astrology board threads :smile:

such as for example this thread is posted on our GENERAL ASTROLOGY board

and any member
may comment on our GENERAL ASTROLOGY BOARD using ANY astrological methodology

our HELP WITH FORUMS AND SUGGESTIONS board is at
https://www.astrologyweekly.com/foru...splay.php?f=22

to be clear then
our TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGY ONLY board
is at
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum...splay.php?f=92

For discussions on Traditional Astrology only.
Note: Typically, traditional astrology is defined as using techniques developed prior to 1700 by astrologers from the Hellenistic, Persian, Hebrew, and Renaissance eras.
Specifically it relies on Ptolemaic aspects sextile, trine, square, opposition and conjunction
and excludes modern planets Neptune, Uranus and Pluto
non-Ptolemaic aspects, as well as any asteroids.
The focus is less on what would be considered modern psychological chart interpretation
and more on prediction.
Members who wish to explore a combination of traditional and modern ideas
should feel free to start a new thread in an appropriate forum for further discussion.

our MODERNIST ASTROLOGY ONLY board
is at https://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=95
For discussions on Modern Astrology only.
Note: Typically, modern astrology is defined as using techniques developed around the late 1800s by Theosophists.
Specifically it relies on psychological, evolutionary, karmic, and non-western interpretation approaches
and includes Neptune, Uranus and Pluto
and non-Ptolemaic aspects.
The focus is more on psychological chart interpretation instead of prediction.
