Astrologers who use more than the five original planets visible to the naked eye ought to be ashamed of themselves. If astrology worked when there were five planets, if astrology works when the constellations aren't even in the zodiac any more, then there's no reason we need more than the five TRUE planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Good Roman gods, none of these Greek has-beens, you'll notice!
All these so called "scientific" definitions of planets say NOTHING about things that matter, like their influences on our lives. Don't listen to these "reality"-biased nerds and "rationality" geeks, real people know what a planet is and that's all that matters!
