On Generations and Astrology

 

Also, on generations. Boomers are often considered born (1946 -1964), Gen X (1965 - 1980), Millennials (1980 - 1996), Zoomers (1997 - 2008)

However, I think that Gen X should really be split in 1972 and their wings extended into neighbouring generations. People born before are rather different from those born after. If you look at astrology. There would be a good cause for that.

Boomers are broadly the generation of Pluto in Leo and Neptune in Libra. They follow hypes like Beatles (Beatolomania) (Leo influence) as well as pursue social justice (Libra Influence) There influences are kind of from 1940 to 1957 (the core boomers) Under traditional definition Beatles members themselves are Silent Generations but with this they will also be boomers, just like their followers (all 4 have Pluto in Leo, but Neptune in Virgo unlike those who came later)

Then Early Gen X (Generation Jones) 1958 to 1971 They have Pluto in Virgo and Neptune in Scorpio. They are workaholics Yappie (Virgo) who are critical of other generations. Also, not too outspoken about themselves (Scorpio), they merge their generation with that of later Gen X and generally their generation has little information about them. They are also the types to not hire people outside their own generation, because they consider them useless. I think it could be them who pit Millennials against Boomers they might hate both.

Then Late Gen X (True Xers and Xennials) 1972 to 1984 They have Pluto in Libra and Neptune in Sagittarius. They are more of work-life balance people, who had to survive mess of boomers and Gen Jones. They are probably flexible and kind of survivalist. And probably futuristic too, or more like people who can understand both worlds in a way. Many good politicians come from this generation: Volodymir Zelenski, Maya Sandu, Alexey Navalnyi, Ivan Bartos, Zdenek Hryb. People who actually care about young people.

Then finally us, Millennials. (Also known as Gen Y (as in why us, why did you fucked it all up and expect us to fix it)) (1984 - 1996) May be start using Gen Y name to disassociate it from Millennial stereotypes. Pluto in Scorpio, Neptune in Capricorn. Pluto rules Scorpio so it is definitely strong in us. We are dark, secretive, private, emotional. The Emo generation. The online generation. Matrix generation. We grew up during the wild 90s and other such problematic times. We do not trust and anyone and keep everyone at arm's length and are profoundly lonely. However, we used to solitude and somewhat even strive in it. We communicate privately just like you and me now. We indulge in taboo things such as BDSM.

Time when we were born was the time when old world order came to an end. USSR and Eastern bloc collapsed, Berlin Wall fell, Spring of the Nations happen, and we all moved into future. I think we as generation are kind of undertakers that would finally bury all remnants of old-world order and clear the space for new world.

Not sure about Neptune in Capricorn influence here. Maybe it comes to our reputation as kind of experiences people or lazy people. 

Also, while Neptune spends 14 years in the same sign, Pluto varies (between 11 and 32 years, but in recent signs it was rather close to 14). Pluto and Neptune often switched signs simultaneously or within just a couple of years gap. That allowed us to measure generations with these planets.

'

Uranus on the other hand spends 7 years in the same sign. That will allow us to divide each generation into two halves. Based on Uranus placement.
