Pluto in Libra in the BirthChart

It's interesting how the concept of generation we have used all through the 20th century has some parallels with Pluto's positions. People born in generations where Pluto has already reached a different sign could have distinct challenges, inner possibilities, concepts of power and ways to deal with societal changes and transitions compared to others.

Latest periods of Pluto in Libra: 1728 to 1738 | 1971 to 1984
Great power and transformation in social relationships, justice and balance.

On a broader level, essential changes in human relationships occur in periods when Pluto transits through Libra. Over the latest period, marriages have seen an increased demand for equality and balance in relationships. The same happened in politics and social aspects, where people started finding new ways to interact, fighting against prejudice, taboos and norms that needed to be extinguished or underwent a profound change. This transit constantly stimulates deep social transformations, which often bring some disruption, primarily when the establishment is rooted in unequal relationships.

Pluto is a mighty force that inspires generational changes. It transforms, destroys, renews and develops what it touches, and is also linked to the collective spiritual development and concepts of power. This generation has the potential to understand the most profound concepts of justice and diplomacy intimately and consistently, where the pursuit of balance can be a blessing or a course. Due to Pluto's potent archetype under Libra's terms, relationships can go through some personal difficulties that are usually intense and transformative for these natives.

The latest Pluto-Libra generation is behind the invention of unifying technologies. They tend to rebel against anything that isn't in harmony with their terms, including an essential role in exposing governments, religions, and doctrines with flawed theoretical concepts that are poorly established or deceiving.

Relationships that are diverse in nature can also become more socially acceptable during this period, including homosexual, pansexual and interracial relationships, which start to be normalized. Between the 1970s and 1980s, a desire for more balance and harmony in relationships of any sexual orientation started to change how society sees non-traditional couples, breaking ground for an even greater revolution in the next generation, with Pluto entering its co-ruling sign, Scorpio, and becoming even more potent.

Pluto in Libra has energy centered on transformative relationships and partnerships, where many children of this generation have witnessed their parents' divorce. They are mostly known as "Generation X." Still, unlike their parents, they are more prone to find balance in their relationships, as they don't see a problem in being satisfied with a long-term partner. This relationship stems from many personal transformations along the way, ups and downs, and the renewal of vows occurring cyclically. They also nurture a greater affinity with art, music and beautiful things.

Birth Chart Interactions

In an individual analysis, the generation that shares Pluto in Libra has the potential to be sensitive to the world's injustices, often judging them more harshly, mercilessly or irrationally. However, it may seem fair in their terms. Many have come to this world to fix necessary things, helping to solve some problems created by previous generations in a more balanced way. They share a strong inner desire to fix what other generations have broken.

Relationships tend to be sought constantly, although many can be challenging, complicated or messy, always being a source of personal transformation for all this generation. In that sense, these people have an inherent tendency to be unconventional and intense when it comes to relationships and business partnerships, which can verge on compulsion. They tend to sense problems hidden behind many social and mundane questions and take a stance in search of truth.

Indecision can be a shared characteristic, as they could often be heavily involved in these questions to make the best decision. Since they tend to understand many sides of the same coin easily, it can take time to decide which the best solution is. These people tend to find peace once they have an answer or a solution to things they are participating in. This is where power struggles can happen, as they feel their solutions are more accurate, which is a great source of relationship trouble.

The ability to commit can also be different, allowing them to look at many sides of a question and understand the fairer and most balanced solution. Moreover, such personal power can attract others seeking advice and answers to their sorrows, making them a generation that can't see anyone in trouble without helping them. The best way to grow and develop is to abandon the need or compulsion to maintain a perfect balance in life, understanding its natural flow and letting go occasionally.

Libra's cardinal nature and Pluto's power make people from this generation more apt to sort things out independently instead of getting help from others (primarily when aspects with Pluto are formed in the birth chart), frequently finding solutions to problems since they were little. Cardinal signs always bring news and novelty; therefore, combining the active energy from Pluto in Libra with the Pluto in Capricorn generation, which comes along a few decades later, creates positive changes in the world. This is a strong trend with these people, who could end up as parents and children due to the time between generations.

However, learning how to compromise and put the greater good before their interests is a great challenge, as their search for balance makes unbalance possible. They are attracted to escape routes to decompress from the stress created by previous generations. Nevertheless, when they transform others, they also transform themselves due to the law of action-reaction.
