1971 - 1983: Generation Libra (Generation X - 2.0)

Pluto was mostly in Libra

The Pluto Libra generation is on a mission to save the world through beauty, as Dostoyevsky wrote. They do the commitment thing in powerfully re-imagined ways. Their obsessions about others’ reactions can lead to impulsive people-pleasing. The Ancient Greeks celebrated the purity of consciousness and thought as the origins of all that’s created. ​Pluto Libras have an instinct for this, and through the power of will, really can re-imagine their world, on their terms. The dark side would be resisting the loss of control that Pluto demands so that the deeper alchemy can happen. Pluto Libras seek balance but could fall into compulsive habits of avoiding anything that feels emotionally dirty or raw. With this generation, the whole sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll took a step back and there came out the bubble-gum pop divas, heartthrobs, and boy bands. Everything was more sugar-coated but was it really like this behind the scenes? Of course not, it was all playing pretend but they for sure believed their sugary facade themselves. Keep it in mind, it was also with them that R&B and Rap became the new Rock & Roll. It was the best outlet to utter the words they kept closeted. Some Pluto Libras were latch-key kids of divorce, and seeing that, are doubling down on the power of relationships, and re-defining what that means. Many Pluto Libras have parents of the sixties and seventies, a time when divorce spiked. Notably, these parents have Neptune in Libra (1943 to 1955) and dealt with merging and un-merging. With them, there could be a swamping of the Self, and also disillusionment that made them lose faith. This generation puts a big emphasis on presentation. Libra, after all, is ruled by Venus, and it’s all to do with style, grace, artfulness, etc. but what is art when it is deprived of deep emotions? And there’s a lot of power in the image, or the lifestyle itself, but it can appear airy, or unrooted in reality or even cut off from who they really are. A lot of what we think is organic culture has been intentionally seeded, to divert attention away from roots of power. The idea of focusing only on the positive—or even changing yourself before you can change the world—is another version of the mantra, “tune in, turn on, drop out."
