Holst was an advocate of astrology. One of the books in his library, "The Art of Synthesis", by Alan Leo was a treatise on astrology and Theosophy. The layout ant titling of the chapters is similar to "The Planets".

Astrologers generally do not include Pluto in their "calculations" because it's not visible from Earth. Even if it had been known when Holst wrote "The Planets", it is at best debatable whether or not he would have included it.
