Both Ceres and Pluto are now classified as dwarf planets so does that mean that ceres is equal to pluto and should be given the same amount of weight in a chart?

Pluto Demoted, Ceres Promoted
from NewsScope August 28, 2006

A cabal of astronomers recently voted to change Pluto's status as
a planet, and in the process created a hullabaloo. Many astronomers
who didn't vote are writing petitions and making plans about how to reverse the decision that transformed Pluto into a "dwarf planet". At the same time, Ceres was promoted to the dwarf planet class, since this celestial object dominates the asteroid belt.

While the elevation of Ceres went largely unnoticed, the stunning
demotion of Pluto infuriated many astrologers, and awakened a public
reaction tilting toward indignity and outrage. However, many astronomers and some astrologers think the IAU decision was the right one. Ceres* and Pluto share a remarkable history, with both being hailed as the long-awaited discovery of Planet X during their hey-day 1801 and 1930 respectively.

Like Pluto, Ceres was considered to be a planet for many decades, until
advances in astronomy revealed that she was only one of many objects
in her neighborhood. In ancient mythology, Pluto features strongly in
Ceres' myth. Everyone knows that Pluto is a major archetype, so he's not
going away. Maybe it's time to add Ceres to the charts, and see what
she's doing there.
