Absolutely! That’s a wonderfull description. My parents were of the generation “Rebels without cause” My brothers and me the sixties cynical Xa generation (I could add: slightly brutal) techno punks. I remember with some delight when my father narrated his scorpio-sun & sadge moon adventures we (my brothers and I) were shooting with a sonorous one ” …and there IS HE: the ALWAYS lonely rebel” with loud laughs.

Techno punk seems pretty appropriate.

1982. undisciplined and unfocused? hey, fuck you, man. what crap. did he not look beyond the furtherest planets, and see that jupiter in scorpio and saturn & pluto together in libra (followed with saturn in scorpio) around that time? if anything, the 1982-84 babies are “unfocused” with all of their sagittarius is because they were barely teenagers at the time of this book’s on-sale date. further, i find my closest generation incredibly conventional and consumer-minded, afraid to say anything about anything, afraid to look different or try new things, hardly the “explorers” or boasting sagittarius types they’re made out to be by decrepit cookbook astrologers. snore. this guy needs to re-think the late 70s and 80s children now that they’re in their 20s.

the lack of political leaders comment is also ridiculous, considering uranus/neptune/pluto alone won’t do anything more than describe the tone of someone’s job title without some other aspect. i’d think with mars in libra in 1982, possibly conjunct saturn and/or pluto, these guys “might” have a strong interest in politics. stupid…

These are exactly the descriptions I would use if I was inclined to make sweeping generalizations. June makes a good point– hard to judge a plethora of individuals by the effects of a few large planets.

But then again, that’s what the outer planets are for!

yes.
i also see it in my grandparents, my great grandparents, my siblings, my parents (their siblings) my son, the various tendencies of gen X-ers older and younger than I (and of, course, Gen Yers too) who are my friends….

only in generalized tendencies, but they’re there.

I find this to be kind of funny because, well, I was born in 1987 AND I thought I should let everyone know that astrology is actually off by 23°. My Neptune is in 6° Capricorn? Oh PLEASE! I am more of a spiritual-minded type of person who is always thinking of new ideas, not someone who dreams of material matters and just has one thing set in stone. Neptune is in 13° Sagittarius, Pluto in Libra….hmm, that makes me a GenXd person. This could also explain why some of my friends (two who were born in mid 1988-89) frown at me if I don’t have a job and tell me I should set up some goals, hence their Neptunes are in Capricorn.
