Pluto in Cancer
Het Monster: Pluto in Cancer. For individuals born between 1913 and 1938, Pluto was positioned in Cancer. A strong sense of patriotism (“my homeland!”) worldwide triggered the First World War and later led to the outbreak of the Second World War. The growing need for food production revolutionized agriculture—chemicals, insecticides, irrigation, and mechanization emerged. Wars and rising industrialization caused the breakdown of large family clans and brought a decisive upheaval in traditional family life patterns. Women in the United States gained voting rights.

Generation of 1914–1939 (Pluto in Cancer for 25 years). Here, Pluto is in the domicile of the Moon, in Jupiter’s exaltation, and in the water element—signs of a related triplicity. This era saw the realization of patriotic ideals. Your generation is the generation of the First World War, revolution, internal unrest, and civil war. Your generation is linked with the total transformation of home, homeland, and traditions. This period involved active global restructuring, the rise of terrifying totalitarian states, and the cultivation of the highest spirit of freedom. You are drawn to social ideals. You are also prone to strong occult and magical influences, are easily hypnotizable, hysterical, and retain illusions throughout life. You painfully react to shifts in public consciousness and live by the standards of the 1930s. You remain connected to the past even on an astral level. Painful relationships regarding home and family are typical for you. With a well-aspected Pluto and significant energy expenditure, you can resolve these issues. You belong to a generation of romantics—people not particularly happy. During this period, a revolution occurred in agriculture: irrigation systems, dams, canals, chemical fertilizers, and pest control methods were introduced. In worse cases, you exhibit painful attachments to home and ancestors, inability to raise children, and conflicts with them. Children often understand their grandparents better. In the future, you may become a traditionalist, a retrograde figure attempting to turn history backward, or a nationalist. Notable figures: Remarque, Hemingway, Exupéry.

Although Pluto rules Scorpio—a water sign—its presence in Cancer is uneasy. Cardinal changes in the intimate depths of the soul bring no comfort to anyone, even when necessary. Fortunately, Pluto’s influence on the individual is very subtle; thus, its impact on Cancer is more visibly expressed through transformations in the collective subconscious, though this lies beyond the scope of this textbook. I will only note that the depth of transformation in the collective human subconscious caused by the two world wars—fought during Pluto’s last transit through Cancer—remains profoundly underestimated. In an individual horoscope, Pluto in Cancer indicates immense hidden regenerative power, a drive for psychological dominance over others, or in its higher expression, over oneself. Dictators, magicians, saints.

In personal feelings, matters of home, homeland, land, environment, and food production, this period brought revolution in agriculture—chemical fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation systems, and water channels. Conservatism, constant self-betrayal, intolerance toward others. You were born during a 24-year period (1913–1937), when people with a highly developed sense of home and homeland were born. You are refined, with heightened sensitivity. You are deeply attached to family and homeland. You cling to what you know well. You distrust other cultures—they frighten you. Hence, racial and national prejudices among your age group are quite common. Of course, some members of your generation may eventually reach the perfect understanding that “the whole world is my family.” Though this may sound like a cliché, it is deeply significant for your generation. Most, though not all, of your generation eventually arrive at this realization. Men in this group must learn to express tenderness and sentimentality and must not suppress these qualities. You have a deep need for closeness and a strong desire to be together, which is why you feel close to family members and old friends. This also makes you prone to joining mass movements and various interest-based groups, as they satisfy your subconscious need for acceptance and support from people you encounter in life. Unfortunately, people of your age group are easily influenced by irrational public opinion. You often lack conviction and courage to think and act independently and rationally. Your generation is highly emotional and gentle. You are willing to sacrifice much to help your children or other family members—unlike people from other generations who are less inclined to give as much as you do. Your kindness and concern for others’ well-being may drive you to feed the hungry, care for the homeless, and support children and mothers. You belong to a group of people with caring hearts and generous hands. Many among you have parents or children who are far less willing to support or help others. Much of what you do for the people life brings into your path goes unappreciated or unnoticed.

Your generation has a strong connection with the collective subconscious, giving you interest in politics and hidden abilities to exert hypnotic influence on those around you.
