A couple weeks ago I republished a piece from 3 years ago regarding my propensity to gather various people’s perspectives when mulling a theory or trying to solve a problem. I make a point of consulting as diverse a group as possible because you’d just be amazed what you find out if you talk to people from different cultures and I mean talking to them in depth, beyond levels that would be considered PC.

The Pluto in Scorpio generation is being tagged, “Generation Sex”

Happiness Is In The Genes, Say Scottish Scientists

Jamie Beatson writes:

“Psychologists at Edinburgh University found that inherited genes control up to half of the personality traits that keep us happy.

The group were able to identify evidence of common genes that result in certain personality traits, which in turn predispose people to happiness…”

I am still writing the soldier’s son and it’s been very interesting. I just have no qualms about saying anything because I believe I will be understood.

For one thing, we both know the same person but besides that the astrology does make you do a double take. Moons conjunct. Ascendants conjunct. My Mars Mercury in Libra conjunct his Venus in Libra.

There is also a Jupiter Neptune conjunction across the charts and his Chiron is conjunct my Ceres.

Can you believe this?

Regarding my communication with the soldier’s son…

“What pictures are you sending?” he asked.

“Oh, for one I am sending the one of us dressed up in the old time clothes.” (We are 17 and 19 in the picture)

“Oh my God. He’ll be shocked to see me in that Yankee uniform,” he said.

This is enormously interesting:

THE GENERATIONS FROM A TO Z

It’s an excerpt from “Horoscope for the New Millennium” by E. Alan Meece.

From the intro…

Meece writes:

“People who are born and grow up in roughly the same period of history share many characteristics. Their attitudes are formed by common experiences…”

He goes on to outline the generations - here’s a sample:

“The flaming wits,” 1898-1904 (Generation T-b) (Uranus in Sagittarius opposite Pluto in Gemini; Neptune in Gemini and Cancer) Many revolutionaries come from this group, along with many free-wheeling spirits. They were the “flaming youth” of the roaring 20s. Quite irrepressible, they made great actors and writers. Examples: Louis Armstrong, Humphrey Bogart…”

Or how about this:

“The rebels without a cause,” 1930-35 (Generation V-b) (Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Cancer; Neptune in Virgo) This is an unpredictable, sometimes wild and explosive group that provided the leaders of the “Beat Generation.” They make innovative, caring leaders, but often lack specific goals and are insecure or unsure of their direction. It is the first generation born after Pluto’s discovery, so it and succeeding groups are sometimes less wedded to ancient traditions. Examples: Marshall Applewhite, Mario Cuomo, James Dean, Michael Dukakis, Mikhail Gorbachev…”

Do you relate to the description?

Neith asks:

“Say, speaking of Scorpio, i would love to have your take on the Pluto in Scorpio generation, “hooking up”, piercings, tattoos, etc. Were these kids the catalyst for these trends?”

What occurs to me is that they are psychologically sophisticated. For example my 11 year old daughter today offered her analysis of one of her bullies:

“Her parents keep separating, getting back together, separating and getting back together. I am sure she’s angry and maybe this is why she comes to school and calls people names…”

And what about the whole “emo” thing? So much for putting your fresh perfect face out there like it’s the 50’s and everyone is happy! Feeling states are not only acknowledged, they are respected. You are supposed to have pain for chrissakes!

What do you notice about the Pluto in Scorpio generation?

I’m back from getting my scooter serviced, I bought it the premier scooter shop here, Sportique, where everyone working there is steeped in this culture. Hipsters, I guess they’re called but whatever they are, I like them. I like their sideburns and their self esteem. They remind me of the hippies of the 60’s who also had costumes and a preferred mode of transport, the VW van.

The first is the Pluto in Libra generation, the hippies had Pluto in Leo but what about my generation with Pluto in Virgo? We don’t seem to have distinguished ourselves in this way. Perhaps we have and I am too immersed to see it but when I think of Pluto in Virgo, we seem to be the ones who are messing with genetics. You know. We’re trying to perfect the human race and cure all these ills. We’re sort of these scary do-gooders or something and I don’t know what to say except I’m one of them.

To what generation to you belong and do you feel you relate?

My friend, satori is a Pisces born in the sixties with the Pluto Uranus conjunction in Virgo opposing her Sun. With Uranus transiting Pisces, I have been witnessing her liberation and kickin’ it up a gear whenever I think I can.

“Well I think you should check out some of this stuff that was born when you were. The art, I mean. The creative stuff. And I mean get the purest stuff you can find. Like Leonard Cohen’s poetry from the era. It’s very potent. He writes about taboo sex. He writes this stuff and he does not screw around. He puts it right on the paper, the energy of your generation in just a very few words. And for me it’s one thing. For you it would be another, but I do think it would impact you, because it is you. The poems were born when you were born and you share something with them.” Continue reading Art, Astrology, and the Uranus Transit Through Pisces: Leonard Cohen and the Pluto Uranus Conjunction of the 60’s Generation
