I resent this stupidity. There are eight planets. Pea-gravel sized "dwarf planets" do not count. Start counting things like Pluto, Eris, and Ceres, and pretty soon you have to add in a ton of other similarly-sized pieces of spacegravel.
Very messy. Very unelegant.

I always count Pluto  *Sticks toungue out at the scientists who named it a dwarf planet*
Tis the most powerful one in Astrology, and I prefer Astrology over Astronomy

Yeah, I guess pink unicorns are always more fun than horses...
But seriously, astrology makes little sense at all.
If Pluto is recognized by astrologists, why not Charon? Why not the moons of Jupiter? Why not Ceres? What about Eris and 2003 EL61?
However could astrology been accurate before we knew of all the planets? (Pluto wasn't discovered until 1930.) And if we're not including other objects that are just as large as (and closer than) Pluto, how can we consider it accurate now?
What if we hadn't named it Pluto? What if we'd called it Vesta or Cupid? What would that have done to its influence then?
In short, we have a bunch of objects arbitrarily chosen by astrologists that supposedly influence us based on names that the human race arbitrarily chose for them. You might as well name a mountain Napoleon and tell everyone that it influences people to conquer the world.

| Sure, that's your opinion. There's is no proof that it doesn't work, either. Each to their own. |
