 | | The warmest two months of the year were seen as being ruled not by a single fastest planet, but by one planet each: the Moon (the fastest planet, at 12 or so degrees as day) ruling Cancer, and the Sun (which appears quite similar to the Moon on a cloudy day) ruling Leo. |
 | | Probably long before the ideas of signs and planets ruling them were developed, the "discovery" of the Sun as a planet in the heavens (and not something which merely defined day vs. night or the seasons, and therefore may have been seen as quite terrestrial, like rain, clouds, etc.) took place. |
 | | Astrologer Al H. Morrison called it "a major planet" as a result of his astrological investigations, and Marc Buie, an astronomer who focusses on Pluto a lot, has suggested that Pluto be classified as an "ice planet", and that perhaps Chiron is not like comets and ought to be considered an ice planet as well. |
