kjyvci was the human-validation code required to create this blog. Think, then, on the meaning of using this code as a blog title. Ponder the need for human-validation in cyber-space. Ponder on the logic of a method of human validation using of an illogical grouping of letters. Then, when you have meditated deeply on these things, you will be enlightened as to what this blog is about.

If There Never Were Nine Planets, My Horoscope is Skewed

From the LA Times today:

"...astronomers meeting in Prague, Czech Republic decided the rocky ball of ice on the outer edge of the solar system was too small and insubstantial to merit inclusion with the other eight planets.

"Members of the International Astronomical Union voted nearly unanimously to demote Pluto to "dwarf planet" status, a new category that also includes the large asteroid Ceres and the recently discovered Kuiper Belt object UB313."

We've known for a little while that there were either always only eight planets, or more than nine. In the same class as Pluto, there are at least 2 other heavenly bodies identified that have at least an equal significance in our system's realm of "planets."

So, why does astrology place destiny-guiding significance on Pluto, and all the while ignore these others? How can I have confidence that luck is on my side because Pluto is far from Aries, if I now know that another unknown heavenly body of equal substance as Pluto is driving right accross it?
