Flash:10th Planet Discovered

From Space.com:

Astronomers have discovered an object in our solar system that is larger than
Pluto. They are calling it the 10th planet, but already that claim is contested.

It is the first time an object so big has been found in our solar system since
the discovery of Pluto 75 years ago.

The announcement came just hours after another newfound object, one slightly
smaller than Pluto, was revealed. The new object, temporarily named 2003 UB313,
is about three times as far from the Sun as is Pluto.

"It's definitely bigger than Pluto," Brown said.

What does this do to our horoscopes now? What happens when UB313 is rising?
