Some of these are funny ~
http://users.california.com/~eameece/generations.htm ~ and this is mine  quote:
"The mellow ones," 1970-1974 (Generation X-b) (Uranus in Libra, Neptune in Sagittarius, Pluto in Virgo/Libra) This is mostly a friendly, easy-going, confused, flabby, indolent group of "slackers," but it has great potential in music and diplomacy. Not so fanatical and less cynical than their elder brothers and sisters, they are often wise, generous and mature. This group needs to get off its duff and make up for its poor educational background. Once it does, some very talented artists, writers, philosophers and teachers may come from this sub-generation. Examples: Christina Applegate, Kirk Cameron, Neil Patrick Harris.

"Explorers, part two," 1982-84 (Generation X-d) (Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius, Pluto in Libra) Temperamentally this exuberant group is more like the "mellow ones," but they are also definitely "explorers." They are undisciplined and unfocused, but probably very positive and mature otherwise. This transitional sub-generation will be a great source of visionaries, adventurers, humorists, storytellers, writers and philosophers, but don't look for too many great political leaders.
I agree. Make me a political leader at your peril. IP: Logged |

"The benevolent entrepreneurs," 1984-88 (Generation Y-a) (Uranus in Sagittarius, Neptune in Capricorn, Pluto in Scorpio) This is a more ambitious and well-disciplined group. It will include many far-seeing and important leaders and entrepreneurs. Though most will probably be on the conservative side, many will organize great projects for the public benefit. They feel a great duty to society and Humanity.
I feel like I'm letting my generation down lol.

"The explorers," 1975-1981 (Generation X-c) (Uranus in Scorpio, Neptune in Sagittarius, Pluto in Libra) This group is more intense, exuberant, and disciplined than the previous one. They are "mellow," but also very cynical. Relationships and sex are important to this generation, like other recent ones. Many children of the seventies and eighties feel the need to fill the cultural void in their lives by exploring the unknown and traveling widely. They see the lurking danger to their future, so the best of them are driven to investigate the roots of our problems. But others may act out their alienation destructively. Examples: Macauley Culkin, Fred Savage. ooooh, this is true!! love the examples at the end. my heroes. IP: Logged |

how flattering..."The techno-punks," 1963-1969 (Generation X-a) (Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo; Neptune in Scorpio) It was said that the "punks" were the hippies of the eighties. This group is free-wheeling, impulsive, clever and resourceful, but more hard-nosed and cynical than the baby boomers were. They grew up in a declining society with little moral direction, and so have been called "the new lost generation" (the old was the group of "seekers" born during the Neptune-Pluto conjunction). They were labeled "Generation X" because they were so unsure of their identity or purpose. Despite having to grow up as "brash, pragmatic, suspicious, skeptical, selfish, sharp-eyed survivalists," this group has enormous creative potential once they find something to believe in. The first children of the computer age, they will undergo many personal upheavals and changes. Great scientists, artists and revolutionary political leaders could emerge from this group. Examples: Lisa Bonet, Kurt Cobain, Gary Coleman, Rob Lowe, Marla Matlin, Sinaid O'Connor, Luke Perry, Jason Priestley, Kiefer Sutherland. IP: Logged |

 I agree Unmoved. I'm in that group too... Make me a political leader at your peril is right.  However, being a visionary, adventurer, humorist, storyteller, writer, and philosopher is right up my alley. ------------------

Oh my gosh! 1969 and that's so me and all my friends born between 1965-1969. I'm still trying to find something to truly believe in. Because I don't believe in nothing but God--independent of people. Middle men can't be trusted. And life is all about me being happy. I'll never put myself in a life situation where I'm forcing myself to do something that I'm unhappy doing--which is why I'll quit a job, quickly, and an still single, independent of the "friend". Over educated, underemployed and ALWAYS happy still. Because regardless of how screwed up people make this world--God is always faithful to give us a full moon on a night when it's supposed to be there. People--that's why we're saracastic. Because we've watched hypocrites all of our lives. Okay, going to bed. And actually, this is interesting because I was exploring this age group today in a pilot I wrote, and now in a feature (which I think works so much better as a pilot).Hmmmm....IP: Logged | |
