[power sign]

Pluto is one of the Planets in our solar system that has a generational influence. It takes between twelve and twenty-eight years for Pluto to pass through a single sign, so its effects are very broad and more likely to impact the world at large than any certain individual. Pluto is a transformational Planet. It rules the inevitable changes that take place in the cycle of life -- from birth to death and all the important decisions in between. The location of Pluto during one of its extended spans is important to you as an individual only if your personal birth chart has aspects to this Planet. The real influence of Pluto has to do with how your generation uses its power and handles new developments that sprout up through their lives.

When Pluto enters its ruling Sign of Scorpio, the blanket of mystery may be pulled back as previously hidden things begin to resurface. Scorpio is the Sign of Sex, so those born with Pluto in Scorpio will be surrounded for much of their lives by a focus on sex and sexuality. Fatalities as a direct result of sexually transmitted diseases skyrocketed during this time, something that the children of this generation are faced with every day. For the first time in history, young people are more concerned about dying as a result of sexual escapades than they are about accidental pregnancy. There is a positive side to the revelations of this generation, however. Activism for human rights reclaimed the ears of the world, and more and more digressions from the 'societal norm' gained acceptance in today's society.
