[6:19] Moon Report! The Moon conjoins Venus today (Sep. 5, 2024, at 2:12 am PDT). Diplomacy, playing nice, and negotiating are the watchwords for the day; if you find yourself in conflict, try hard to find a fair and gentle solution.

[7:43] Pluto was Scorpio between Nov. 5, 1983-Nov. 10, 1995. It briefly retrograded into late Libra between May 18-Aug. 27, 1984 and glimpsed into Sagittarius between Jan. 17-April 20, 1995. Overall, Pluto was in Scorpio for a little over 11 ½ years.

[8:53] People born between 1983 and 1995, while Pluto was in Scorpio, are typically considered part of the Millennial Generation, also known as Generation Y.

They're often associated with traits like being technologically savvy, focused on education, with a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility.
