No planet in recent times would have suffered like Pluto. Oops, it’s not even a planet anymore. Poor thing! It was called as a dwarf planet and demoted last year. And now this week, they have declared that it is not even the biggest dwarf planet. It has been once again overpowered by Eris, aptly named after the Greek Goddess of rivalry!
I was just wondering what impact it has on our lives. Firstly, we are one planet short now. Nine was a good number and it even sounds odd to say that the Sun has only 8 planets. Even my small daughter laughs at that. Geometrically, the symmetry also goes for a toss. A 3 by 3 square was just perfect. Dwarf or not, there was a place for Pluto.
That now brings up another problem. We are a God short :( I presume it was a Rahu or Kethu equivalent and years and years worship for the dosham ( no idea about the English equivalent for this word ) has gone as a waste. And now, on top of it, whoever believed that they had this dosham, cannot have any reprieve also, because the God on first place is not to be seen. What amends can you make now? All the innovative lamps on a cup of lemon will have to be done for the rest of the Gods only. That means, an industry selling these lamps in the temples is hit. They can only sell 8 in place of 9 lamps.
Astrologers have to cook up a story now. The horoscope has nine boxes and how it will look with only 8 I don’t know. Maybe, the girls who weren’t getting married because of this dosham can now breathe easy. They can form a club of ‘Lost God’ and find a match amongst them.
The biggest hurdle in a Tambram family of not leaving home in Rahu Kaalam won’t be there. You can just keep your time and leave as per normal time. And do things without any worry.
One more advantage I can think of is 'Population Control' in the country. People flock to Rameswaram and pray in Navagraha Baashanam to beget children. Now with one God less in that nine, we may have lesser children and get benefited out of that.
If I really squeeze my brain and figure out, it looks that we stand to gain more by losing this dwarf. But I am certain that there will be a huge effort to reinstate the God or even make that as a curse befallen on this poor earth and more pooja’s will be done and more lamps will be sold.
But you just don’t worry Pluto, for me you stay in my heart, as the dog in Disney. You are not just Mickey’s pet, but mine too. So long…..

Hi once again we criss cross our thoughts. my 06 may 2006 blog answers the question of losing pluto (http://yennottam.blogspot.com/) will not change astrology.
Any how this comment is to remind you that i am one of your silent reader.
Hey Subbu, where were you all this while. Long time since a comment was posted. Was wondering whether that my sister was back at Cbe and the arrival of that satellite / planet has changed your life !!!
I subscribe to your thoughts in the blog. But this was more a satirical view of what we create out of nothing. As much I got reminded abt my neighbouring Goddess became popular one day all of a sudden one day,because someone claimed that there was blood in Her eyes. It is a different story that the real blood was in my eyes negotiating the traffic & crowd in an otherwise peaceful neighbourhood. :))
