I'm not a smart guy when it comes to astronomy so i'm not sure if Earth could be fine without Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. I know Earth cannot live without Jupiter, not sure about Saturn. Anyways, just for fun, what do you think would happen if the Outer planets like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were to suddenly disappear? Or if they got destroyed by a meteor or something of that nature? What would happen to us...personally? Would our personalities change alot? Would we notice any changes? Would there even be any changes? My gemini mind is just curious lol! IP: Logged |

I don't our natal charts would have to be rewritten as that energy was started once we were born. But they'd no longer affect those born after. Transit-wise...interesting question, I'm not sure. It does seem that there'd be an epic and probably catastrophic "synchronicity" that would reflect in the charts but given that something epic just took place it seems a given. For that matter, I expect Earth could survive without Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, but I have strong doubts that we'd survive whatever cosmological force got rid of the outer planets. A passing star that stole those worlds would also cause major effects on Earth that would include both ripped out of orbit (though we might eventually return) to all the extra radiation that our planet is unable to withstand and if great cosmic bodies shattered the outer planets to oblivion despite that Jupiter & Saturn should draw most such objects (if not the sun) then Earth would get bombarded at least a little and even a single asteroid hitting Earth in the right spot could eliminate our species.

Gravity would become much more of an issue than it is now. As you say, earth couldn't exist without Jupiter. Perry sure it's a similar story with the others. IP: Logged |

Jupiter's intense magnetic pull draws away most meteors, comets, asteroids, and the like away from the Earth. Without Jupiter, Earth would likely be a crater-blasted planet with only the simplest lifeforms at best. IP: Logged |
