Millennial or Gen “Z”? Astrology has the Answer

Millennial or Gen “Z”? Astrology has the Answer

Millennial or a Gen “Z”?

Preamble

The other day I was having a patio lunch with my daughter.

She spoke about how sometimes she feels she relates better with Gen “Z” than the Millennials.

She was born around the division between the two generations and the Millennials is where she felt she was.

This got me thinking, and I have some answers for those born on the cusp of the Millennial / Gen “Z” generations with the help of astrology, of course.

 

Introduction

Categorizing people into generations is a way to analyze trends in society.

One generation group will do things this way and the next cohort will do things another.

The specific dates when one generation ends, and another begins are blurred.

Astrology has a way to categorize each generation by the outer planets.

Heck, the outer planets are even called the “Generational Planets.”

 

 

 

Visible Planets

The seven visible planets are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

They are called the visible planets because you can go outside and look (GOAL) up at the night sky and see all of the seven planets.

 

Generational Planets

The three generational planets are Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

The generational planets are outside the usual visible planets realm from the Sun to Saturn.

 

Uranus

Uranus is the modern ruler of the sign of Aquarius the Water Bearer.

The traditional ruler for Aquarius is Saturn.

Uranus takes seven years to pass through one sign.

 

Neptune

Neptune is the modern ruler of the sign of Pisces the Fish.

The traditional planetary ruler for Neptune is Jupiter.

Neptune takes around fourteen years to transit a sign.

 

Pluto

Pluto is the modern ruler of the sign of the scorpion, Scorpio.

The traditional ruler of Scorpio is Mars.

Pluto takes, on average, 25 years to transit each sign, but this can be wildly different for Pluto as its orbit is more elliptical than the other planets.

It is much faster through Scorpio (20 years)  than Taurus (35 years).

 

Named Generations List

The named generations list, as referenced in Wikipedia, shows the current thinking for each generation’s years.

  • Lost Generation: 1883 – 1900
  • Greatest Generation: 1901 – 1927
  • Silent Generation: 1928 – 1945
  • Baby Boomers: 1946 – 1964
  • Generation “X” (Gen “X”): 1965 – 1980
  • Millennials (Gen “Y”): 1981 – 1996
  • Generation “Z” (Gen “Z”, Zoomers): 1997 – 2011
  • Generation Alpha (Gen “A”): 2012 – 2025
  • Generation Beta (Gen “B”): 2025 –

 

Millennials and Gen “Z”

Millennials are those who achieved adulthood around the year 2000. They are widely accepted as having been born loosely between 1981 and 1996.

 

Generation “Z” are those born after the Millennials. They are widely accepted as having been born loosely between 1997 to 2011.

 

 

 

Outer Planets  and Generations

Astrology has a way to differentiate between the generations.

We are specifically looking at the border between the Millennials and Generation Z people.

This time frame could also be called a cusp between the generations.

Let’s take a closer look at where the outer planets were between these two generations.

The years we are zooming in on are 1995 and 1996.

We are going to look at where the outer planets were and which zodiac signs they were in at this cusp moment.

 

 

Note: If your birthday is on any date in the table above, you will have to cast your birth chart to find out exactly which signs your outer planets were in when you were born.

 

You are a Millennial if…

You are a definitely Millennial if you have Uranus in Sagittarius, or Capricorn and you have Pluto in Scorpio.

Millennials may have Pluto in either Libra or Scorpio.

Millennials may have Neptune in either Sagittarius or Capricorn.

Millennials may have Uranus in either Sagittarius or Capricorn.

 

You are a Gen “Z” if…

You are definitely Gen “Z” if you have Uranus in Aquarius or Pisces, and you have Pluto in Sagittarius

Gen “Z” may have Pluto in either Sagittarius or Capricorn.

Gen “Z” may have Neptune in either Capricorn or Aquarius.

Gen “Z” may have Uranus in either Aquarius or Pisces.

This is a series of topics on Children’s Astrology.

Many people do not know that a child can have their chart cast as well as well as grown-ups.

That children are able to have their birth chart read is sometimes news to people.

If you think only adults consult an astrologer to interpret their nativity you can think again.

There is a growing number of children who have their chart done every day.

My Little Darlings

My Little Darlings

by

I talk a lot about children’s astrology here on this blog.

Recently I have received several emails asking about my family dynamics and my children so I thought I would share a little about that.

At the same time respecting our Little Darling’s privacy.

My husband and I have four children. They are nearly all grown up and have almost left home.

This means I have more space to peruse my interests.

Time is the one luxury that I never had when the youngest was born and they all needed my attention.

I started studying and practicing astrology long before I had children. In fact my mother was an astrologer and she taught my sister and I lots as kids at the kitchen table.

The best laid plans

I knew the importance of the Sun in a chart and I wanted to select a child to be born with a Sun sign compatible with mine (Leo).

We decided to go for a fire Sun sign and the one that came up first that year was Leo. I fell pregnant and she was due on August 6th that year and bang in the middle of Leo.

But nature has a way of pulling off her joke and our daughter was born an amazing three weeks early when we welcomed in a beautiful little Cancerian Sun baby.

As the first grandchild in the family she was heralded as perfect in every way.

Our daughter’s birth story taught me much about taking life as it comes and accepting that things may not be as we might wish but that nature can make them better.

Accepting the fact that I could not organize a particular sign for my child to be born under led me to let nature take its course.

With the other children’s births, well they came in their own good time.

Astrological influence

So, as a mother and an astrologer to boot did I influence my children and raise them with the insights astrology?

I would like to answer “Yes, I did” but the truth is the kids are so very much their own people living their lives through their charts.

Where I felt I could have an influence is when rules had to be brought in and I became the voice of authority in the parental role.

Each child required a different carrot and still does.
