The Pluto in Scorpio generation’s choice of Halloween costumes veers toward the macabre and gruesome. The Pluto in Sagittarius kids, those trick-or-treaters who are younger than 9, are entirely different. The girls want to be princesses. A recent New York Times article points out how the princess craze has grabbed the psyches of very young girls.

 

          Sagittarius is a fire sign often associated with young royalty. People with either the Sun or Ascendant in Sagittarius can often come across as being quite regal and youthfully proud. When the sign expresses generationally through a Pluto transit, that quality begins to show up in a cultural cohort.

 

          As noted in the NY Times article, the princess craze for girls is linked to the current marketing of Cinderella as a rich princess, ignoring her roots as an emotionally abused child dressed in rags and sweeping cinders from the fireplace. Sagittarius is very good at seeing the “bright side” of things (a trait which often makes them quite popular as individuals).

 

          The movie The Princess Diaries and its hit sequel, both involving the story of an everyday klutzy girl who becomes a princess, are also evidence of this trend.

 

          Halloween is a great time to spot Pluto trends because people get to dress up in ways that express something fundamental about their psyches. This past Halloween, while Pluto in Scorpio teens were costuming themselves in Scream masks, fake blood makeup, Dracula capes, and retro punk outfits, costume companies reported that Cinderella and princess costumes were by far the most popular for younger girls.
