Pluto in Scorpio

Overview

Pluto in Scorpio is in its domicile, creating the most intensely transformative, psychologically penetrating, and evolutionarily powerful generational energy possible. This placement (1984-1995) produced the Millennial generation — a generation with extraordinary access to psychological depth, comfort with taboo subjects, and capacity for radical personal and collective transformation. They grew up during the AIDS crisis, witnessed the exposure of institutional abuse, and came of age with unprecedented access to information about the shadow side of human nature. Personally, individuals with this placement possess remarkable psychological power, intuitive depth, and capacity for self-transformation. They may be drawn to extreme experiences, shadow work, and professions that deal with life, death, and rebirth. Their BS detectors are finely tuned, and they have little patience for superficiality or denial. The evolutionary purpose is mastering the transformation process itself and using psychological power for collective healing. The challenge is avoiding self-destruction and using their penetrating insight for healing rather than harm.
