Do you also have planets to give credit to when all things go your way?
I'd be picking Venus for that. Seems like a nice planet.

Yup, women are scary enough when they're moving in the right direction...
Yes.
7:05 AM your time.Still a planet, just a dwarf planet. Is a human with dwarfism not a human?
That wouldn't mean anything -- in fact, you'd probably fight; I don't get along too well with other Geminis. Directly across the zodiac means early Gemini - early Sagittarius; or like my mom, late Gemini to Capricorn -- in "horoscope speak," that means your "houses are in opposition," which doesn't mean you oppose one another, but that you face one another on equal terms.
Yeah, I spent way too much time reading this junk when I was a teenager.

Once you accept the scientific fact that the alignment of the stars and planets have absolutely no effect on your life, you realize that destiny is entirely in your hands... and tanks and mods and ejuice...
A dwarf planet isn't a planet by NASA standards. It's still trying to clear it's own path. A for the human dwarves, it depends. The one at my Starbucks sure seems to be human. Whenever I lift him up, shake him and ask him for his Lucky Charms, he screams, kicks his little legs about and tries to punch me. It's adorable.
Sigh, sometimes I wish I could suspend my belief in gravity too...

Gravity huh? haha well whatever works for you.
Myself, to believe in astrology with gravity as the explanation I would have to suspend everything I know about the science of gravity
For example, knowing that an apple a meter away from you has more than 5 times the pull of gravity on you than a star 150 times bigger than our sun in the galaxy closest to us, haha. And that even the gravity of the other planets combined has an insignificant effect on the earth tides, compared to the moon, since they are so far away. I also would have to pretend that gravity can predict the future and affects our fame and fortune, if gravity is the basis for astrology, and that an apple with stronger gravity would have a bigger effect on our lives. I just cant quite get there

I'm catching up....
NASA had nothing to do with the revised definition of what qualifies for planet status. It was the IAU - the International Astronomical Union - on a motion spearheaded by Mike Brown from CalTech during their annual meeting in Prague (one of the lowest attended meetings in recent history, BTW). He subsequently wrote his book "How I Killed Pluto - and Why It Had It Coming".
Mr. Brown and the IAU can go get knotted. Pluto is still a planet in my book. Every star system needs the Weird Uncle planet.
Yes, I'm an amateur astronomer. And I vape.
