Pluto - The Generational Planet of Evolution
Pluto, our beautiful little dwarf planet, is the bringer of evolution, transformation and representing the cycle of life and death.
Pluto takes approxiamtely 14-30 years to move through a zodiac sign. We can actually trace the evolution of society through the lens of astrology, and what each generation brought to the table based on their collective pluto sign.
In this post I will detail what the most recent pluto placements mean for you, your parents generation and even your childrens generation!
If you were born between 1939 and 1957, you have Pluto in the sign of Leo. This means you are most likely part of the Baby Boomer generation which is the wealthiest generation and one that tends to think of themselves as quite special (how very Leo).
Pluto shows us how we, as a generation, are here to change the world and with Pluto in Leo, you are meant the change the world by standing up as a shining example of what the world should look to.
This came through as a desire to achieve political power and with some excellent leadership skills. There has been a tendency to lean on some of the harsher sides of Leo however, which is seeking out this power and the spotlight through domination and ego.
If you were born between 1958 and 1971, you have Pluto in the sign of Virgo. This means you are most likely part of Generation X which has a dark horse demographic, which doesn’t seek the limelight.
Pluto shows us how we, as a generation, are here to change the world and with Pluto in Virgo, you are meant the change the world by re-organising it, especially after that wild hippie chaos in the 60s!
This came through as a desire to categorise and build efficiency into the every day which is what brought us Google, Wikipedia and YouTube. Generation X also aims to change the way the world sees health with many ground breaking discoveries in the medical world being brought about by those with Pluto in Virgo. The negative side is this generation has a tendency for becoming workaholics, and anxiety runs rampant as they seek to perfect themselves and the world.
If you were born between 1971 and 1984, you have Pluto in the sign of Libra. This means you are most likely part of Generation X (before 1976) or Gen Y (after 1976).
Pluto shows us how we, as a generation, are here to change the world and with Pluto in Libra, you are meant to change the world by fighting for just causes that bring more balance to the world.
This came through as a desire for equality and brought us women’s rights and the gay rights movement too. Those with Pluto in Libra are all about balance, so by the time they hit the work force, they brought in new ideas about work/life balance and flexible working. The will also bring in balance to the traditional gender stereotypes in relationships, opening up the worlds view on what men and women can do in the home or at work.
If you were born between 1983 and 1995, you have Pluto in the sign of Scorpio. This means you are most likely part of Generation Y, also known as the Millenials.
Pluto shows us how we, as a generation, are here to change the world and with Pluto in Scorpio, you are meant to change the world by unearthing secrets and bringing about transformation.
This is coming through right now, as we root out the institutional corruption present in society. This generation will also create new, sometimes shockingly disruptive plans for society in areas such as genetics, spirituality and artificial intelligence.
In medicine, we finally have people who are more focused on the root-cause of an issue, rather than placating the symptoms. This is an emotionally intense generation, keen to figure out the reasons for their trauma, and healing themselves on much deeper levels than the previous generations. Those with Pluto in its home sign of Scorpio have a deep link to subjects of death, sex and the taboo. There’s a reason we were all drawn to Buffy, Goosebumps and American Horror Story! Get ready to change the world, it’s happening already!
If you were born between 1995 and 2008, you have Pluto in the sign of Sagittarius. This means you are part of the iGen or Genz and may even be the children of those reading this.
Pluto shows us how we, as a generation, are here to change the world and with Pluto in Sagittarius, you are meant to change the world by seeking truth and honesty and bringing an optimistic view to the world.
This will be evident through increasing travel and opening up doorways to other countries and cultures, to learn from others and bring it back to make everyone’s lives easier. This generation will how to bring in a fresh perspective and even teach the older generations a thing or too!
If you were born between 2008 and 2024, you have Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. This means you are part of GenAlpha and won’t be any older than 12!
Pluto shows us how we, as a generation, are here to change the world and with Pluto in Capricorn, you are meant to change the world by organising the chaos into structure.
This generation will use the learnings from the Pluto in Sagittarius people, to develop entirely new organisations, structures, governments and institutions to best fit our new world. We can expect a strong framework and well thought out systems to be brought into being. Only time will tell how this will affect us all.
What has knowing your Pluto sign taught you about yourself? With Pluto being one of the outer planets, it’s effects don’t feel quite so personal but can give us a great overview of where society is headed as a whole.
