THE PLANETS: SCIENTISTS SUPPORT PROPOSED REDEFINITION.

"Feeling a little disoriented today? Small wonder: Mercury in Leo forms a frictional square with Jupiter in Scorpio. That's really big, but we're not certain what it means anymore. A committee of the International Astronomical Union proposed a new definition of "planet" which will be voted on next week in Prague. A planet would be defined as a body in orbit around a star and big enough for gravity to make it round. Well, almost round. You may think it doesn't matter to you if Ceres is round or cubic, but if it's cubic, it won't be a planet and therefore won't affect whether you're gonna meet a mysterious stranger today that will change your life. Ceres is a problem even for Vedic astrologers, who don't consider planets beyond Saturn."
