The Wildfire Generation: Pluto in Sagittarius

HAPPY SAGITTARIUS SEASON!

Whew. We made it.

In honor of this season, wherein the sun ventures back into my 1st house of self, initiatives (and a whole host of other things too), I'm starting a series of personalized placement deep-dives! I'll speak generally and personally, so find yourself, find a friend, find a piece of me, or find out how lovingly and in-depth I can speak about you and your own beautiful natal placements, if you do us both the honor of booking a reading with me. <3 And if you're an astrologer yourself, please reach out with any push back, feedback, or disagreements! Very interested in other POVs, esp from other Pluto in Sag readers. :)

Okay! So without further ADO, and in the spirit of the season, I’ll start with my only, lonely, planet in Sagittarius: Pluto

I feel p equipped to talk about the Pluto in Sag gen, as a 0 degree Pluto in Sag. The 0 degree marks what's often deemed the transit’s truest, most concentrated expression of the energy. When a planet changes sign, and especially when the slowest moving planet changes sign, shit shifts quick.

My Sag Pluto is located in my 12th house (in the Placidus house system)—about 6 degrees above my Sag ascendant, so a loose conjunction, giving me no choice but to project the energy outwards as part of my perceived identity. The 12H(ouse) is where the deep stuff gets done. It’s the reservoir of our psychic structures, our collective foundations. Pluto is deeply perceptive, even from very far away, so with Pluto placed here, I'm deftly able to wade through the collective unconscious—the whole poverty, extinction, destruction, scarcity, fear, violence, hatred, oppression, etc that comes out of the foundation of modernity (antiblackness and capitalism). If Venus or Jupiter were here in my 12H, I might not be so focused on the power-centric doom and gloom of it all, but, alas, it's Pluto, and Pluto's not fucking around. Still tethered to the Sun, as tiny as it is, it's like the pea under ten mattresses that you're never quite able to ignore. Even if you're able to fall asleep with it there, it shows up in your dreams, your subconscious makes nightmares of it, until you jump down off your perch, wriggle underneath all that weight, and inspect what the fuck is going on. Then you realize it's not a pea, it's a whole damn planet, and under the mattresses are also, as I said, antiblackness and capitalism. Yikes!

Pluto happens outside of us, yet drives us still—the collective consciousness we're tuned into, it's a deep-seated, karmic, powerful lil planet that marks a generation: temporally, instinctually, and viscerally. It's the underlying energy that connects us all, binds us together in an unspoken, even subconscious, shared direction. From 17 Jan - 20 April '95 then again from 10 Nov '95 - 27 Jan '08 and with a last little dip from 13 June - 26 Nov '08 we have a Fiery Generation, the Pluto in Sagittarius generation. The only generation born of fire since 1945 and until 2068.

Assuming no limitations, and to hell with consternation, fire catalyzes change—and when mutable, change that can never return to what it once was. Situated in Sag, we see a generation of visionaries, optimizers, and philosophers. A generation tasked with life-long journeys of karmically transforming Sagittarian energy—working with the shadow side of the sign, engaging in all the ways it's been corrupted, and evolving it. Sagittarius is the healthy wildfire that sweeps through the forest after the trees get too dead and dry. Pluto in Scorpio ppl are the fungi on the dead tree stumps working to decompose all the shady doings going on in power structures (but unfortunately sometimes joining in), and the nutritious ash that will feed the secondary growth—holding an absolute truth that death and rebirth are inevitable and sacred. Their M.O. is gaining power and slowly, quietly breaking things down from the inside-out. But that’s not the Sagittarian way.

Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter—the Great Benefic, the fattest mf in the solar system—likes to think BIG. Jupiter is the protector of the bunch, so big and beautiful that its vast orbit reroutes asteroids hurtling towards Earth. We're a Jupiterian gen that loves humanity and the idea of ~Liberation~ and that loves to yell about it too, loves to get together and figure out how to fix things, to make them more fun, more spirited, and less serious. A gen that's more than happy to do something that's never ever been done before, maybe even something crazy, (a generation that will re-imagine the very notion of crazy, because if you're not going crazy within this deranged hellscape they've built and simply thrust us into, then what the FUCK?) Sag likes to attempt something amazing and laugh if, for whatever reason, it fails. Because Jupiter loves to learn above all else, and there is simply no learning without failure.

So, in whatever house Pluto lives in within your natal chart is where these energies will be most potent. I’m explaining generally how I intuit the planet Pluto and the sign Sagittarius meshing and interacting, but how it manifests within you will be unique, and further clarified in your chart through aspects to other planets, and ofc your on-the-Earth life experience!

With the oldest of us now 26, and our bbs just becoming teens, we are finally taking the stage and taking names (for the guillotine). Pluto in Sag comes through with a moral compass to lead us all in the right direction. Hopefully. A gen that seeks to shout the societal secrets unearthed by Pluto in Scorp, preferring to shout our beliefs from the rooftops, not even giving a single fuck if anyone's listening. We theorize, sensationalize, try anything on for size. We're collectively saying fuck what ya heard about any and all cultural norms, as we are a gen that makes its own rules and, even then, might not follow them.

People say that Pluto is all about power, but Sag doesn't want power, doesn't necessarily believe there's anything good about having power over another. Will we have an influx of quirky and charismatic gurus? Maybe. Will there be a whole bunch of teachers holding classes for concepts and skills that don't even exist yet? Surely. But, honestly, power is responsibility(!) and, generally speaking, Sag would prefer to do without that for as long as possible, especially if it’s a forever thing that can’t be put down from time to time. If anything, they're here for purpose—the power that lies within an idea, in faith, in doing something that matters and feels like it matters. Something divine.

When power is given to one person or a group of people, especially when that person/those ppl are Not acting according to anything resembling a righteous good, Pluto in Sag is not gonna fuck with it. I genuinely believe that we are the gen that will reject hierarchical power structures. That we will search the globe (ideally, digitally and respectfully) for alternative ways of governance, because centralized power is, like, the surest way to restrict freedoms, and Sag's ultimate goal is True Freedom—they'll drop anything else in the name of it. The Sag dream is that of surrender—to the journey, to the vibe, to the experience of life. And it's no fun to surrender to a dreadful situation, especially when that sitch seems to have no end in sight.

But it's not the Sagittarian way to look to the past and repeat it. A Sag practice is certainly to study, to be well-learned and to be ready to wax poetic about their preferred theoretical frameworks and belief systems at any given moment . . . but I wouldn't really call that a foundation for what Sag does with that information. It's more of a jumping off point. We, the Plutos in Sag, are more so destined to launch into something new and unknown (not colonizing Mars, pls not colonizing Mars) rather than attempt something that's already been tried.

Pluto in Sag asks the question: what if the end of the world isn't all doom and gloom and the scary state of nature pitched to us by our hypercapitalist ethics professors (was that just me?)

The wildfire sign whispers, why don't we simply [theoretically—remember, Sag is allll theory] BURN IT ALL DOWN, paint ourselves with the ashes, and throw a motherfucking party, because what if, instead, it's the end of THEIR world, and the beginning of ours? What if it's quitting our useless jobs, saying fuck you to the brutal business of academia, shimmying tf away from organized religion, and going out into the natural beauty of this earth, the LITTLE of it that remains, and respectfully taking some time amongst the splendor to think for ourselves and dream up a truly beautiful lifestyle? Simply doing what we love and know is right, providing the space for people to delve into and explore their purpose(!) and having it all work out? Jupiter has an extremely hard time believing that everything won't all work out. There may be a grand journey, a little tussle here and there—for the mems and the memoir—but Jupiter WINS in the end AND shares the bounty and the glory with everyone.

And if we do it well enough—if we use the upcoming Pluto in Aquarius transit [a sextile! a pleasant aspect, especially if worked with consciously] to deepen our humanitarian ideals, think outside these damming boxes and binaries, these one-dimensional spectrums and vertical hierarchies—if we can break free from the conditioning that exploitation is natural, that greed is inherent, that independence and collectivism cannot coexist in culture—if we can do this with intention? The Pluto in Capricorn kids coming up behind us will secure the bag. Those lil Saturnians will provide the structure to hold our ideas, if those ideas are truly sustainable.

I hope you enjoyed this deep dive! Next week I’ll be back in ur inbox to talk about the South Node transit through Sagittarius, which is finallllly finishing up at the end of the December, after 18 whole months :o I'll also have both this letter and the Scorpio szn letter recorded by then, I promise!!
