Astrology New Planets

For the longest time, astrology relied upon the existence of five planets (besides Earth): Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. These are, not coincidentally, the only planets which are visible to the naked eye. Isn't it interesting that no astrologers noticed the influence of three other planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto? Together, these three bodies constitute thirty percent of the planets in our solar system, and therefore thirty percent of the planetary influences in astrological charts.

Astronomers discovered these planets partially through the use of telescopes, but also through the predictive power of mathematics. Astronomers noticed that the known planets did not move quite right and realized that the changes were likely the result of other, unknown planets exerting their own gravitational forces.

The observations made by astronomers led to predictions which could be tested; if astrologers noticed anything, they were led to neither predictions nor tests.

Curiously, many astrologers refused to even include Uranus in their charts for a while after it was discovered.

Of course, these planets have since been incorporated into astrological charts, but their notable absence for several thousand years raises serious doubts as to the efficacy of a system which makes such grandiose claims for itself. If these planets exerted any influence before, then someone should have noticed it - their failure suggests that they didn't know what they were doing. If these planets did not exert any influence to notice, then they must not be exerting any now, and their current inclusion in astrology means that contemporary astrologers also don't know what they are doing.

Were it ever possible to claim that astrology is superior to astronomy, or even just the equal astronomy, this was the chance and it was never taken. Had astrologers incorporated these three planets before science could prove their presence, it would have been a monumental coup for astrology which is quite frankly almost unimaginable.
