Pluto in Leo-lame?

Wherever Pluto is found, in the unevolved (thus 99.9% of the human race) we find obsession; Pluto merely delineates the mode and preferred outlet for that obsession; and in Leo, it's all about status. The generational effect of Pluto in Leo is quite easy to observe here in the United Kingdom, where all anybody seems to have a mind for these days is the car they drive and the value of their house. There are supplementary concerns of course; which school the children are attending, their exam grades, which handbag is in vogue this month, being seen at Ascot; but fundamentally, the Pluto in Leo generation have raised up the golden calf of status and created a raison d—tre out of it. They have also passed these dubious values on to their children, the Pluto in Virgo generation who seek to perfect their parents?? skewed vision, by appearing flawless, the epitome of health, vitality and with not a hair out of place: the ambience of the passing of the Plutonic baton then, has been to make an obsession out of the kind of status that is to be found in perfection. Inevitably, it's a big ask, and as Uranus grinds over the radix Pluto placements of this generation right about now, there are going to be a fair few casualties.

A bit more reading shows that he had to issue a disclaimer for that article.

And imo, Materialism isn't really the sin of this generation-- a lot of good

came from them.

So did a lot of bad (they are the ME Generation, after all).

But that's true of every generation.

Pluto in LEO

... the "ME" generation, a generation that has a very proud and self-reliant attitude.

... a generation that is very concerned with self-development and personal integrity.

Women's rights and minority rights are issues that your generation has fostered and

they reflect your concern with individual respect, integrity, and honor.

... has a deeply felt sense that each person has an equal right and opportunity to

fully develop his or her inner potential.

... finds it difficult to be part of a team and a strong egotism makes group efforts

difficult; you tend to see the individual as more important than the group. You also

defy authority and often feel that no one has the right to tell you what to do. The

strong movement to refuse drafting into the military is one example of [this] age group's

strong sense of individual rights and freedom.


... has popularized the idea of self-development, and has contributed a great deal to the

development of individual potential as well as human rights. However, there is also a

tendency to be rather self-centered; others may wonder how you can spend so much time

developing yourselves and have so little time to contribute to your families!

Pluto was moving through the zodiac sign of Leo from 1940 to 1957.

Children born during this those years had Pluto in Leo in their charts....


Leo is the sign of the zodiac that deals with our creativity, our ego, and

our sexuality. In the physical body, Leo rules the heart and the backbone,

both areas that have to do with will-power. Leo is one of the most sexual

signs of the zodiac, enjoying the —pleasures of the bed?? to the fullest.


Around the late sixties, when the children born in the early 1940??s were reaching

puberty, we heard the first cries for —free love.?? The children with Pluto in Leo

would be called the —me generation??, the ones who wanted to express themselves and

live creatively -- both core themes of the sign of Leo.

The Pluto in Leo generation came in to transform the nature of our egos and our

sexuality. The old rules about self-expression and sexual restrictions had to die.

It is easy to see in retrospect the enormous changes in the 1960??s and 1970??s as

these Pluto in Leo children entered adulthood.

... marked a generation (1939 to 1956, and some in 1957 and 1958) that was obsessed

with self-expression. These are the War babies and the baby boomers, and "Do your own

thing" was (and still is) their motto. This was the generation that was never going to

grow old.


... this generation made all those riots on the campus.


Pluto in Leo will always defy authority, unless, of course, THEY are the authority.
