Pluto Strikes Back
In a stunning move, the news of Pluto's loss in the Planetary Primary has been reversed! A report filed by Nerd's Eye View astronomical policy correspondent Iain, this afternoon claims that Pluto has in fact decided to defy the International Astronomical Union and go it alone. It's quite a brave act by an planet known for its independence and espousal of the most patriotic views in the Kuiper Belt.

I'm interested in knowing how this affects astrologists. If Pluto isn't really a planet, is it possible some of the astrological predictions of the last several decades has been *wrong*?! And if Pluto IS still figured into things despite its new Pluton dwarf-planet status, what about the other Plutons they've found?
One way or another, it seems like we need to write our congresspeople and encourage them to fund research into how all of this affects our daily horoscopes. This is people's LIVES we're talking about! (Not to mention the growing pet-astrology industry.)

In a bold move, hundreds of scientists and researchers are voicing their support for Pluto to be re-instated as a planet.
