The Pluto in Libra Generation and what's not being said

Pluto in Libra (1971/72-1983/1984)

Transforming the concepts of marriage and relationships with our family, community, and ourselves.

Pluto is very slow moving planet. When it enters a sign, it stays there for a long time. For those born between 1971-1984 Pluto was in Libra. Pluto, being the planet of transformations, death, and rebirth promises many changes in relationships for our Pluto-Libra generation. Much discussion can be found on the Net regarding the Pluto in Leo and Virgo generations (1945-1970), but astrologers have very rarely expanded upon the Pluto in Libra generation. Since most of us are now in our late twenties/early thirties, our generational issues have been surfacing all over the place from the gay marriage debate to the rising divorce rates. Our generation has begun to face these issues, but with only marginal success. We need to take a closer look at how this placement is affecting us personally and also on a generational level. Because Pluto is in Libra for all born between 1971-1984, many of the "canned" rehearsed statements about this placement do very little justice to the actual feeling attached to it. Thus, this Pluto in Libra gal will attempt to bring greater insight into the reality behind this placement. Please see my essay entitled, "I need to believe" for a good summary of the feeling associated with Pluto in Libra.
