When Pluto transits a sign we see the shadow side of the things the sign rules. For example with Pluto in Sagittarius we saw the shadow side of religion (Suicide bombers and the sex scandal with the Catholic priests), the shadow side of sports (OJ Simpson, steroid use), the shadow side of courts (OJ Simpson again) the press (too many scandals to list).

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

How the faceless and amoral world of cyberspace has created a deeply disturbing… generation SEX

My daughter has Pluto in Scorpio conjunct her ascendant. I feel the Pluto in Scorpio generation to be psychologically sophisticated…. more on that here: Defining the Pluto In Scorpio generation

I am sort of mad at her,” my daughter said. “I was on the phone with her and I told her one of my deepest problems. Do you know what she said to me? Oh don’t be so dramatic!”

I laughed. “I say forgive her. I doubt she is being intentionally insensitive. It sounds like that’s something her parents said or say to her. You know. She tells them her problem and they tell her she is being dramatic. And I bet it makes her feel exactly the way it made you feel when she said it. Bad!”

“Then why would she say it to someone else?”

“Well she probably has no other ideas. She sees her parents do it and she probably doesn’t know any other way. She thinks this is how things like that are handled. Basically I’d say she’s just mimicking her parents and means no harm.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. So you don’t have to take it personal you know. And you can learn. If something makes you feel bad then don’t do it to other people. I don’t care what your parents do or did. Parents are not always right. In fact, some of them are not right about anything so you really have to figure this out for yourself.”

Do you notice your parents words come out of you? Is this for good or ill or both?

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?

“Oh, she gave me a dirty look,” my daughter explained. She’s an 11-year-old, 7th grader.

“She did.”

“Yeah, but I don’t care about that.”

“Why not?”

“What’s a dirty look? I’m the one with the reeeeal evil eye,” she said with a chuckle.

“You think that?”

“Yes, Mom. I’m the one with Scorpio rising. I’m the one with Pluto on my ascendant.”

“Okay, well that’s true. That girl has nothing on you, does she?”

“No. If you want to see a real dirty look, you ought to see mine.”

I just laughed. “Did you give her a dirty look back?”

“No. I could have but I just didn’t feel like it.”

“Having a good day?”

“Yeah. And I just don’t care about her.”

Can anyone relate?
