Pluto Demoted: No Longer a Planet in Highly Controversial Definition Robert Roy Britt

Capping years of intense debate, astronomers resolved today to demote Pluto in a wholesale redefinition of planethood that is being billed as a victory of scientific reasoning over historic and cultural influences. But already the decision is being hotly debated.

Officially, Pluto is no longer a planet.

"Pluto is dead," said Caltech researcher Mike Brown, who spoke with reporters via a teleconference while monitoring the vote. The decision also means a Pluto-sized object that Brown discovered will not be called a planet.

"Pluto is not a planet," Brown said. "There are finally, officially, eight planets in the solar system."

The vote involved just 424 astronomers who remained for the last day of a meeting of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in Prague.

"I'm embarassed for astornomy," said Alan Stern, leader of NASA's New Horizon's mission to Pluto and a scientist at the Southwest Research Institute. "Less than 5 percent of the world's astronomers voted."

If Pluto's not a planet, then what planet will be governing our sign?

No, seriously, what does that mean from astrology's point of view? I can't even venture a guess...

daymn WTF do we do now—?

On a more positive note, Tom Cruise got dropped like a bad habit 🙂)

Mars shares rulership of Scorpio, right?

Here's an article from IAU ...
http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/08/24/pluto.ap/index.html

It will be interesting to see what astrology will have say about this. They haven't found Vulcan yet either, right? The ruling planet of Virgo...

Great ideam fight with Aries for Mars 🙂 I like it 🙂

Mars shares rulership of Scorpio, right?

Yeah, I think so, but it was cool to have two planets 🙂

"dropped...what,like his arse kicked—"

By Paramount, that made my week🙂

Yep Mars is the co-ruler.

Maybe thats why I feel so happy because the darkness has passed..Hmmm..

Oh..I miss Pluto 😢

Sob

Lol...Nah I want it back..

lol @ antibling
my aries co-worker not so happy when i suggested it

You people give up easy.

Damn the astronomers, I proclaim Pluto a planet, who's with me?😛

"Damn the astronomers, I proclaim Pluto a planet, who's with me?"

I am totally with you 🙂 It seems from the article that the astronomers don't know what the helll they're doing. I guess it comes from being in a science that still has ton of questions unanswered. They embarass themselves - 70 years Pluto's a planet, now it's not.

I say we proclaim it, and send Tom there 🙂 LOL

"my aries co-worker not so happy when i suggested it"

I wouldn't imagine he'll like it, that would only be one more reason for the aries to feel militant towards us. lol They're fine people to fight with, but they just don't understand strategy the way we do, thanks to Pluto 😉

"I hope your screen name hasn?t foreshadowed our fate..."

Nah. We are the regenerative sign of the zodiac 🙂 I just find it interesting that of all planets, ours' is the one with all the controversy 😉

Wouldn't it be extremly symbolic when(not if!) Pluto will be proclaimed a planet again?

...Rises from the dead, like a phoenix.😛

i'm in

but now i also want Mars to be all ours too :p
she (the aries) won't let me.
wrestling didn't work. 😢

"I just find it interesting that of all planets, ours' is the one with all the controversy"

Because we are the most intensed, emotional and passionate.

If they were going to take a planet hell they should have took SATURN, can you imagine how happy women would be. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

And on that note I am going to the bar and get in converstation with someone about this subject.

Pluto's status has been demoted to a dwarf planet...

Now that might explain why some of the scorpio males I have come across are around 5ft 8 tall..LMAO..

Nah..most are gorgeous and tall..even the short asses are sexy as hell..**melt**

"Now that might explain why some of the scorpio males I have come across are around 5ft 8 tall..LMAO..

I knew this ripped short one, yeah, sexy as hell.

"Wouldn't it be extremly symbolic when(not if!) Pluto will be proclaimed a planet again?

...Rises from the dead, like a phoenix."

Such a good point, Yama 🙂

pluto will still rule the sign of scorpio...
it will NOT lose any of its power in astrology...

whew....

Ladies and Gentlemen even though Pluto is "Regarded as NOT being a plant" it's still holds a lot of power over the hman race here on earth, if this planet was not in our solar system the Earth would undergo great changes. Pluto is the yang energy..we need both yim and yang for the correct balance.

typo SORRY

"Dinky Pluto loses its status as planet"....

Dinky—

yes, I know Pluto will still rule Scorpio....but dinky— I have, however used this line today- "I'm sorry, my brain was downsized along with my planet. I can't help you right now"...

That was fun. Anyone else have pluto-loving one-liners? I'm shopping around for some.

Pluto_muse - If Pluto's not a planet, then what planet will be governing our sign?

Your royally screwed then with your username..cos I can't see dwarf_muse quite having the same ring to it..LOL

That has always been my favorite planet ever since I was a little girl. And you know what, in my mind this is still a planet. It's still going to be there and it's still a planet. Pluto is still Pluto. Pluto is not dead, it will strike back and soon they will realize they made a mistake.

Mars and Pluto=Scorpio

i feel empowered! i'm gonna go have sex with as many women as possible and then never speak to them again.

awww...guess you guys finally got what you all deserve...nothing!!! LOL!!!!!

THIS IS SO GREAT! Check out this link, really priceless 🙂 🙂 🙂

"awww...guess you guys finally got what you all deserve...nothing!!! LOL!!!!!"

Is it just me, or did that comment made no sense whatsoever?

yes...my comment was intended only for the geniuses here.

"awww...guess you guys finally got what you all deserve...nothing!!! LOL!!!!!"

JennaT: Pluto as Scorpio's ruling planet? But I suppose they still get to share Mars with Aries...

lmao @ sag

"hay i understood it, and i'm aint' an genius no way"

Really? Than will you please explain why the demoted rank of pluto suddenly mean we have *nothing*? Why should astronomy affect astrology? And even if it does, we'll still have an asteriod Mars, how is that nothing?

You don't have to answer that, as we both know you just made an idiotic comment in order to insult me, you pathetic wanker.

"And even if it does, we'll still have an asteriod *and Mars,"

"hay you guys are lucky, taurus / libra gem /virgo technically only have half a rulership"

Well, at one point the Zodiac only contained 10 signs, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio were all combined as one, so when Scorp and Virgo were split up and Libra inserted between to "balance" some planets had to be shared. 🙂

i heard a lady on the news say pluto was always a weird one cuz it was shifty and travelled in a weird elliptical pattern...i guess that does kinda represent you guys though...

hmmmmm...interesting

yama- don't take things so personally. nothing was directed at you...GOD!!! so self absorbed..just like us Aries.

i guess we really do share Mars!!

"yama- don't take things so personally. nothing was directed at you...GOD!!! so self absorbed..just like us Aries.

SagiTAU hounds me for plenty of threads so far.

Anyway, I've got Mars in Aries(5) trined Sun in the first, so I do have an excuse for being self-absorbed.😛

maybe he likes you

"i HAVE NO idea what you are talking about "hounding" you."

May I suggest you'd take another look at the Are "aquarians cowards" thread?

"yama, explain to me how you can have aries trine scorpio, please. i'd really like to know. *eyes roll out the door*"

Aries at 1?40'13 and sun at 21?56'23.

Now, will you please explain what did you understand from jennaT's comment? I'm curious.😛

"i thought yama is a guy..."

I am a guy, but he chooses to ignore that, so he'd be able to send me perverted messages.

"go hump a goat already, you retardando!! i'm sure it wouldn't matter to you what you hump as long as it makes noises!! pervert. "

sag- you F'in kill me sometimes

"yama's no guy.
whatever gender it is, it's using some seriously gigantic orbs!! LMFAO!!!!"

Yes I am, you twat.

"that's no trine, fool! you must have gotten implants along the way. lmfao"

According to Astro.com, it is.

Two pretty good articles on this matter!

Interesting stuff to think about. I don't yet know how I feel about this but I do think I identify with Pluto much more than Mars.

i really don't see how scorpio could really equally 'share' mars with aries. aries are truly and purely 100% mars all the way around.

now, i could see you guys having a small portion of mars as a ruler, but no way in hell we could ever be equally influenced.

that said, sorry for your luck with pluto. but whatever pluto is, asteroid, planet whatever, i know that something out there is definitely influencing you guys to be the way your are...

Surely it doens't really matter if pluto is a planet or not.The usn and moon aren't planets and they still rule leo and cancer

unfortunatly, scientists have nothing to do better than second guessing themselves.... Pluto is not a planet? come on people

..Aries at 1?40'13 and sun at 21?56'23...

on behalf of yama, this is considered a trine...

I suggest;

First: Collect all those 400 with something more scientist in one ship and blow up their arse all over Solar system with plutonium from Pluto to show them what does mess with a planet.

Second: Conquer Mars with Tactical Nuclear Devices. Bloody but fun. You can use Neptune as your temporal base of operations. Also we can find you some agents from Jupiter for your Tact OPS.

Lol
