This is an interesting subject. I wrote a paper about it a few years ago 
-- if I can find the file, I'll post it.
For most of the planets, an ingenious person can find a connection 
between their current nature or past events there and their astrological 
"character". But it's not always the obvious that makes the connection.
For instance, Jupiter's character is "expansive inclusiveness", which 
one might associate with the planet's large gravitational field and it's 
tendency to capture asteroids and make them into moons. Jupiter is also 
Lord of the Air -- appropriate for a gas giant planet. He is also Lord 
of Lightning, and there is what amounts to a continuous lightning bolt 
flowing back and forth between the planet and its moon Io.
With Uranus, the connection is less obvious. The planet's character is 
associated with sudden breakups and changes. Scientists conjecture that 
at some past time, the planet suffered a collision with another body 
that was so powerful it broke the planet up into little pieces, which 
later re-assembled (through gravitational attraction) into the planet as 
it is today. One might theorize that this fracturing somehow shows up in 
the astrological effect.
I think that -- if there is any valid relationship between physical 
nature and the subjective, astrological effects -- Pluto's nature is 
also connected with a past event, rather than with it's current 
position. And that event was, like Uranus, a collision.
Scientists have noted that when a meteor impacts the Earth, the force of 
the blow -- in the form of compression and heat -- causes crystalization 
in the rocks around its impact point. Even when the rock is relatively 
amorphous, like limestone, such crystals form. The crystals are very 
small; it is the fine structure of the rock that is affected, not its 
gross appearance.
It has been theorized that Pluto was once a moon of Neptune, which was 
knocked into a solar orbit by a collision. And impact sufficient to do 
this would certainly have enough force to produce the crystalization 
effects in the planet's substance. So even though the planet is cold 
now, at one time it was subjected to heat and pressure of the sort I 
connect with its subjective effects.
