Pluto’s Power Play
For countless individuals seeking clarity in an increasingly complex and uncertain world, astrology offers a profound framework for understanding personality, temperament, and even destiny. The practice of consulting the stars and planets—specifically their alignment at the moment of birth—has seen a noticeable upswing recently, often fueled by a population that feels the future is beyond their control.
While skeptics might dismiss the selective adherence to astrological predictions as “confirmation bias,” enthusiasts prefer to view it as simply being reasonable: taking what helps and discarding the rest. Beyond individual horoscopes, however, one TikTok astrologer suggests that this ancient practice can actually illuminate major generational shifts.
The Generational Engine: Why Pluto Matters
When astrologers examine generations, they focus not on fast-moving planets like the Moon or Mercury, but on the slow, powerful movements of Pluto. According to TikTok astrologer ryansastrology, the movement of Pluto and the constellation it occupies define generational “personalities”. Pluto, the planet associated with deep transformation, power, and subconscious forces, dictates the major societal themes a generation is tasked with navigating.
Millennials: The Pluto-in-Scorpio Generation
The millennial generation, astrologically defined as Pluto-in-Scorpio people, has been assigned a powerful and transformative role in this cosmic breakdown.
Millennials are characterized as the generation whose mission is to “burn it all down”. This doesn’t imply mere destruction; rather, their purpose is to critically examine existing structures and rule over the necessary death and rebirth process of systems that are no longer functional or serving society. Their energy is directed toward recognizing deep-seated flaws and initiating the difficult work of dismantling outdated institutions.
Gen Z: Powerful Seekers and Experimenters
Following the foundational dismantling work of the Millennials comes Generation Z, who are designated as Pluto-in-Sagittarius.
This placement grants Gen Z the inherent drive to be powerful seekers and experimenters. The significant, often radical, changes and shifts observed in this follow-up generation are directly attributed to the influential Pluto in Sagittarius effect. Where Millennials focus on identifying systems that need to end, Gen Z focuses their seeking energy on finding new, functional pathways and experimenting with entirely different approaches.
Generation Alpha: The Future Builders
As Millennials and Gen Z challenge existing norms—fighting against systems and calling them out—a new generation is beginning to emerge: Generation Alpha.
The children being born today are believed to be the ones who will ultimately take the transformative work of the previous generations and complete the cycle. Their destined role, according to this framework, is building new structures in the world—structures designed to replace those that Millennials and Gen Z fought to expose and reform.
In this astrological perspective, the profound differences and seemingly chaotic shifts we see between Millennials and Gen Z are not arbitrary, but rather part of an organized cosmic script, written by the slow, potent movement of Pluto.
This framework offers a fascinating lens through which to view current generational dynamics, suggesting that the drive toward change, challenge, and creation is, perhaps, predetermined by the stars. What do you think?
