Ok, so a lot of people have been asking how the change of Pluto from a planet to a dwarf planet will affect their charts. Here is a statement I received from astrology.com.

Pluto joined our solar systems family of planets in 1930. Seventy-six years later, as astronomers have discovered more and more orbiting bodies, including asteroids, comets, moons and as-yet-unclassified bodies, the International Astronomical Union has reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.

But this doesn’t mean that you should disregard Pluto’s place in your charts! It hasnt left the solar system; it’s just in a new category.

Historically, astrologers have examined events in the world at the time of a planet’s discovery for clues about what it represents. As god of the underworld, Pluto represents power, transformation, the cycle of death and rebirth, and the process of breaking down and rebuilding. And now the status of Pluto itself is transforming — a sure sign of its power and influence!
Time will tell if the scope of Pluto’s symbolism will decrease as a result of its reclassification. In the meantime, Pluto retains all its astrological significance, as it continues to orbit our Sun.

Sincerely,
