Pluto in Leo
Creative power transformation, the death of inherited authority, personal sovereignty revolution
Pluto in Leo (1939–1957, Baby Boomers) produced the most culturally generative and most culturally self-focused generation in modern history — the people who dismantled the inherited authority structures of the mid-twentieth century in favor of individual self-expression, personal sovereignty, and the creative life as the highest available form of meaning. The 1960s counter-culture is Pluto in Leo's most visible expression.
The shadow is also visible: the generation of self that produced unprecedented cultural richness and unprecedented ecological and institutional neglect — the creative power without sufficient corresponding responsibility to what came before or after. Pluto's transformative intensity applied to the self can produce both extraordinary individualism and extraordinary self-absorption.
