The Pluto in Scorpio generation, born approximately 1984-1996?

• I have a younger Brother and Cousins, Did anyone else notice how friendly and sexual when I say sexual I dont mean active, like they are constantly making same sex jokes of affection to eachother, the younger kids are these days? and how much less they well they all get along? Race or sexuality just isn't an issue, Example: noticed they still have clothes at the mall for my generation, some guys will just NEVER wear pink, your take on this? The Pluto in Scorpio generation, born approximately 1984-1996, is developing its own generational personality. It is a generation whose older members—teenagers and very early twenty-somethings—are the subjects of much stereotyping: “They’re so profane—every other word has just four letters…and what’s up with all the black clothing…the ‘hoodies’…the dark sunglasses…the car window tinting…the scowling countenances?” Today’s Pluto in Scorpio generation can be quite off-putting to many older adults. Every generation has its ways of rebelling. The challenging Pluto in Scorpio square to Pluto in Leo (those who were born approximately 1939-1958) means that Baby Boomers—a huge swath of the population—find this generation especially troublesome and difficult. Raised on R-rated movie dialogue and rap lyrics, the Pluto in Scorpio generation sometimes come across as excessively profane. Most have been exposed their whole lives to a media culture which promotes sex, violence, and celebrity. They are helping to re-invigorate poker gambling and other addictive pursuits. Of course, this is not the whole story. This generation also has--among many other positive qualities--an intense and selfless need to share, perhaps related to Scorpio’s association with the 8th house of shared resources. The Pluto in Scorpio generation is hooked into the 8th house (a Scorpio house) ideal of shared resources, just as the Pluto in Leo generation embodies the positive 5th house ideals of individuality and creativity. The resources the Pluto in Scorpio generation are beginning to share are their own self-created networks, often connected through digital technology. Digital networks and online groups like MySpace are a Uranus-Neptune trend. Their use by the Pluto in Scorpio generation aligns with that generation’s emphasis on shared resources. The digital world allows for a shared information resource, in the form of e-pinions, e-mails, text messaging, instant messaging, etc. Today, new music bands and trends are launched via these Pluto in Scorpio digital networks. A recent New York Times article probes this part of the Pluto in Scorpio generation, whom the reporter refers to as the millennials (a term coined by Neil Strauss and William Howe in their 2000 book, Millennials Rising). In the article, one high-tech company executive stated, "With the technology, the Internet - in terms of being able to facilitate the social networking, which is a big part of this younger group - there's just so much ability to quickly transfer information." A problem with the almost obsessive need to share via instant messaging, text messaging, cell phones, and blogs is that personal identity can become lost. As one young person commented in the article, “It's like, if you don't check your e-mail and you turn off your phone, it's almost like you don't exist." If you go to a movie at the local multiplex, note the number of teenagers engaged in silent text messaging on their cell phones during the movie. The subject of the text messaging is often the movie they are watching— how it’s going, how they like it, etc. Although many adults may find this activity to be a public annoyance, Pluto in Scorpio kids are always connected, always sharing. Projecting ahead, one can envision other shared resources which may figure prominently as the Pluto in Scorpio generation gets older and assumes positions of leadership: economic resources, ecological resources, etc. Since Pluto and Scorpio are both attuned to crises, we can expect that these shared resources will become important as the result of a future generational crisis or series of crises. I recently read David McCullough’s new book, 1776. Although in 1776, Pluto was in the late degrees of Capricorn, some of the soldiers who fought, led, and died for both sides in the Revolutionary War had Pluto in Scorpio. In 1776, anyone between the ages of about 28 and 40 would have belonged to a Pluto in Scorpio generation. General Nathaniel Greene and Thomas Paine, both with Pluto in Scorpio, feature heroically in McCullough’s book. The third U.S. President and primary author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, was also a member of the Pluto in Scorpio generation.

• Answer:

  The author is being way too sunny about the use of technology, with this generation. The real sharing of information, was first introduced by Pluto in Libra, and their social networking. This is the generation that sort of got the ball rolling, the initiators of new communication (cardinal sign). Pluto in Scorpio is just more likely to receive the karmic brunt of this, whatever that may be. When I say that, I mean privacy invasion, stalking, a technological bust, censoring, pornography addiction, brain washing, and power dynamics. The concept of sharing, comes down to power dynamics, which has many different branches. The author, judging by the use of language, seems to completely miss this point. I think this article is mostly amiss, and seems to be confusing Pluto in Scorpio with Pluto in Libra. Pluto in Libra began the sharing and the dividing. Pluto in Scorpio receives the karmic repayment of the scales, which are forever in flux. Also, in 1776, they fought a war over taxation. Pluto in Scorpio was being unrightfully taxed. They weren't looking to buddy up, they just wanted their money and out of the control of England. Scorpio is directly linked to taxes.
