Now that pluto has been demoted to dwarf planet and other large kuiper belt objects are going to be classed as dwarf plants, I was thinking of trying to use only small orbs with Pluto. It's so distant any way. As for fellow dwarf planet,Ceres. I don't think using orb of 5 degrees is too much. After all,it's far closer to us than Pluto. I see it like a personal/social planetary like influence. I would use no more than 3 degree orb with Pluto.
I'd check out the other large transneptunians and use only 3 degree orb for Plutinos(objects that orbit like Pluto) including Orcus,Ixion,and Huya. I would use a slightly lower orb for cubewanos like Quaoar,Varuna
and 1 degree orb for scattered disk objects like "Xena"
I am thinking that maybe wide pluto aspects can be accounted for by close kuiper belt aspects. It's possible that what people think is the influence of their pluto aspects are actually the influence of aspects of other kuiper belt objects. This can go for not only natal but also transit,solar arc,secondary progression,synastry,and composite charts.
I would like to focus on charts of serial killers,people with serious psychological problems,people with abusive upbringings first...checking mainly for the hard aspects(conjunction,opposition,square,semisquare) that are used in Cosmobiology.
I would like to check out midpoints later.
I come from a very dysfunctional family on my mother's side,and so I am starting with their charts first. With my abusive upbringing and my past history with anxiety and depression, I definitely have to include mine.
