Scorpio is ruled by Pluto; and Pluto is the generational significator. This   
   means that the Scorpio of any generation is ruled by the sign of his   
   generation and reflects the essence of his generation. And in order to   
   understand any generation, one needs    
   to consult the Scorpios.     
      
   The generation that's currently in their late teens and 20s has the Pluto in   
   Scorpio. For these people, even those who are not Scorpios are going to have   
   very Scorpio attitudes and character. We see this with the Slut Walk, Occupy   
   Wallstreet, Femen,    
   Kazantip, the emos, the revolts against oppression in Middle East, and any   
   number of other things that these people are doing.    
      
   And as a Scorpio I say hurrah.    
      
   Each generation seeks to raise the next generation the way that they   
   themselves would have wanted to be raised; but it usually does not work. That   
   is because each generation is different. The Pluto in Cancer World War II   
   generation raised their children    
   in the security and structure in which they themselves would have wanted to be   
   raised; but it did not work for their children, as their children had Pluto in   
   Leo and wanted a freer and less rigid upbringing. The hippies then raised   
   their children in the    
   freedom and adventure that they themselves would have wanted to be raised, but   
   it did not work for their children either as their children had Pluto in Virgo   
   and wanted to be raised in a more structured environment. Whereas the original   
   boomer idea would    
   have been much more appropriate for the children and young teenagers today who   
   have Pluto in Sagittarius and are by nature adventuresome; and of course the   
   youth rebellion of which they had once been a part is highly appealing to   
   today's Pluto in Scorpio    
   youth.    
      
   One negative manifestation we've seen has been Pluto in Virgo gen-X'ers and   
   Pluto in Cancer World War II generation ganging up together on Pluto in Leo   
   generation to attack everything that the boomers have ever done. They are   
   together in the belief that    
   the boomers were a bad crop and that what happened in 1960s was a fluke; and   
   it must be very disturbing for them to see the contemporary upheavals. Quite   
   simply they need to study astrology. Scorpio is capable of everything of which   
   Leo is capable, and    
   in matter of revolts against corruption and tyranny it is the Scorpio that   
   would be expected to do the greatest heavy lifting.    
      
   Most boomers went into themselves and, as some say, "sold out"; but I do not   
   see this generation taking that path. Certainly many of them will want to have   
   families and children, and certainly many will want to make money; but I   
   expect their intense and    
   passionate character to continue in working to affectuate change even after   
   they have settled down. A skillful Scorpio smells corruption from miles away   
   and has the intense focus to fight it. And at this point in history there is a   
   great need for    
   fighting corruption - in courts, in churches, in communities, in families, in   
   societies, and in any number of governments in the world.    
      
   While the baby boom rebellion was done under the banner of love, today's Pluto   
   in Scorpio revolts are done in the name of justice, truth, transparency and   
   freedom. And that makes them more focused than the "60s generation." These   
   people are out there to    
   implement change, and they will be willing to live or die for it. They are   
   agents of change by nature.    
      
   The good news for everyone else is that these people also have high   
   intelligence, and they are not likely to fall for wrongful analysis and   
   wrongful solutions. Most of these people have an inner sense of what's   
   workable and what isn't, that most hippies    
   did not have. There is less naivete in this generation and less propensity to   
   fall for con artists. Instead there is a strong sense of what is justice and a   
   stronger sense of what is right.    
      
   We are due for continued upheaval, but most of this upheaval will have   
   positive outcome. It is the corrupt that have the most to fear from it, and it   
   is the honest people that have the most to gain. The job of the Scorpio is   
   ungrateful, but it is    
   necessary. And we are seeing this play out in the world even as we speak.
