Understanding Generation Z

Generation Z is the generation that comes after Generation Y, known as Millennials. Those who are part of Generation Z were born between 1995 and 2010. Currently, this generation consists of young adults, teenagers, and children. Along with this generation comes a change in attitude toward many topics that have long been considered taboo and often avoided, such as same-sex marriage and multi-cultured households. Generation Z pushes the boundaries of societal norms and pursues to allow each person the right to choose and personal freedom and to bring things that are seen as taboo to the forefront of society for everyone to deal with and learn to accept.  

Pluto in Sagittarius

Pluto entered Sagittarius on January 17, 1995. It remained there until April 20, 1995, re-entered Sagittarius on November 10, 1995, and remained there until January 25, 2008. It then re-entered Sagittarius for a short while again from June 14, 2008, until November 26, 2008. Although Pluto left Sagittarius before generation z ended, it remains the transit linked to generation z. Those born with this placement are extraordinarily connected to their subconscious, and they do not hide their true selves and motivations. This can be tricky for the other generations to deal with, as they do not always allow that which is usually hidden to be shown so proudly, such as what the Pluto in Sagittarius generation does.

Living their truth is the highest goal of the Pluto in Sagittarius generation, which makes it one of the most unique and diverse generations to have ever existed. These natives are highly aware of how toxic and harmful beliefs can significantly impact the world and are constantly changing their values, attitudes, and views to align with what is needed for the greater good. Pluto in Sagittarius natives understand the depths of their soul and do not fear hiding this, which significantly impacts how other generations respond to them and deal with the issues they bring up.
