WE SURVIVED NAM, THE COLD WAR, THE WAR ON DRUGS, THE WAR ON TERROR , Y2K , AND 2012. FOR SOME PEOPLE THESE WERE REALITIES EXPERIENCED IN THE FLESH, TO MANY OTHERS THEY ARE ABSTRACTS, AMALGAMATIONS OF IMAGES , NARRATIVES , PRESS CLIPPINGS AND OF DOCUMENTARIES. THE CONSTRUCTS OF OUR OWN IMAGINATION, THAT STILL NEVERTHELESS EXISTS AS A NEXUS OF INTERSECTING PARALLEL REALITIES , ACCESSIBLE READY FOR PRESENTATION & CONSUMPTION, WHERE EVERYTHING BECOMES CANNIBALIZED AS CULTURAL FODDER
PRE-MILLENIAL TENSION / UNDERSTANDING WHAT CAME BEFORE ALLOWS THE INSIGHT INTO WHY OUR PARADIGM CURRENTLY EXISTS
PLUTO – IN – CANCER (1912-1939): THIS GENERATION IS PROTECTIVE, NURTURING , AND VERY NEEDY. IN MUCH OF THE WEST WORLD THEY INHERITED GREAT WEALTH AND PROPERTY, FORMING THE BASIS FOR THEIR VALUE SYSTEMS THAT THEY ANXIOUSLY GUARDED. THEY KEPT ENLARGING THE GROWING AND LUCRATIVE MILITARY – INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, WHICH GUARANTEED THEM PROTECTION EVEN TO DEATH; SUPPORTED THE CORPORATIONS THAT ARE GRANTED UNALIENABLE RIGHTS; AND BUILT A MEDICAL SYSTEM DEDICATED TO KEEPING ALL PEOPLE ALIVE AT ALL COSTS. THEIR SLOGAN IN THE UNITED STATES WAS ” BETTER DEAD THAN RED “(COMMUNIST). AS THEY INTEGRATED THE CREATIONS OF PLUTO -IN- TAURUS , THESE ” PLUTOCRATS ” WHO PINNACLED THE INDUSTRIAL AGE THAT WAS GREATLY EXPANDED BY THE PLUTO-IN-GEMINI GENERATION AS THEIR COHORTS BIRTHRIGHT.
PLUTO-IN-LEO (1937-1959) LEO IS CREATIVE, CHILDISH, PASSIONATE, ADDICTED TO POWER, AND VERY HONEST. THIS GENERATION WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE GOAL OF BEING PROTECTED TO DEATH BY SOCIETY AND THEIR PARENTS; THEY’D RATHER BE ” RED THAN DEAD. ” SO JUST OUT OF ADOLESCENCE IN THE EARLY 1960S, THEY WANTED TO LIVE INSTEAD OF JUST TO DIE, TO CREATE INSTEAD OF DESTROY. THEN ALONG CAME URANUS-CONJUNCT-PLUTO IN VIRGO RIGHT AFTER THE GENERATIONS HAD TURNED AGAINST EACH OTHER! SO THE PLUTO-IN-CANCERS UNLEASHED ITS PROTECTIVE TOOLS || THE CIA AND THE PENTAGON|| THAT CARRIED OUT SELECTIVE ASSASSINATIONS OF THE PLUTO-IN- LEO LEADERS. THE NEW LEADERS OF THE LEO GENERATION WEREN’T ALLOWED TO MANIFEST, SUCH A SERIOUS BLOCKAGE OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION BY THE PROTECTIVE TENDENCIES OF PLUTO -IN-CANCER ARE STILL BEING EXPERIENCED TODAY- PLUTO-IN-LEO
BABY BOOMERS 1940-1960 GEN X 1961- 1981 MILLENNIALS 1982-2000 ECHO BOOMERS 2001-2014 GENERATION A 2015-2030 GEN II 2031-?
GENERATIONAL IDENTITIES BECAME REALITY AFTER WWII, AS YOUNG ADULTS HAD EXPENDABLE INCOMES FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THUS SUBCULTURES BEGAN FORMING. FLASH FORWARD TO TODAY, WHERE THE TWEEN MARKET HAS BECOME A POWERFUL DEMOGRAPHIC WITH CONSIDERABLE INFLUENCE & POWER. EACH GENERATION DEFINES ITS OWN ETHOS. TH BOOMERS LIVING TO WORK, GEN X WORKING TO LIVE, MILLENNIALS LIVE AND THEN WORK, WHAT ETHOS WILL THESE ECHO BOOMERS EMBODY? WHAT LEGACY WILL THEY LEAVE GENERATION A?
HERE WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THIS ONGOING PROCESS THAT HAS MORPHED ITSELF THOUGH DIFFERENT FORMS, AT TIMES MIRRORING ITSELF, AT OTHER TIMES APPEARING UNRECOGNIZABLE. COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES IMPACTING & INSPIRING OUR SHARED EVOLUTION. x X
