Actually, I don't think I've ever known astrologists to refer to any planets beyond Saturn anyway.
Besides not being visible when astrology was devised/decoded, I think the astral bodies have to have some energy effect on the Earth to affect us humans in the astrological sense. So they either have to be massive, like Jupiter, or relatively close like Mars.
The Moon, being the closest, and with obvious physical effects on the Earth and all people upon it (via tugs on our precious bodily fluids) would be the strongest astrological influence. As a Cancer (with Cancer rising no less), I can attest to this.
My higher brain functions tell me astrology is bunk. My 46 years of experience with other human beings tells me there's remarkably something to it after all.
But Pluto never mattered in astrology ... and I doubt CEGA 1896 would have either.
Still, I'm sad to see Pluto bumped off the list. I'll never stop thinking of it as a planet in my heart.
