The cohort born across these fourteen years cannot remember a world without the network, and the network is precisely what Neptune in Aquarius idealises. Belonging is expected to be electronic and elective. Friendship crosses continents and skips the neighbours. This generation genuinely believes in collective intelligence, in the group that solves what no individual could, and it has built cooperative structures of real scale and generosity almost as a matter of instinct.
The deception is dispersal. An identity assembled from a thousand distant approvals is thin, and a community that costs nothing to join asks nothing and often gives nothing back. This cohort will mistake being informed for being involved, and treat a widely shared opinion as a verified one. From inside it feels like independence and a wide horizon; from outside it can look like a person surrounded by people and privately unaccompanied, fluent in every subject and rooted in none.
The house shows where the diffusion happens. Eleventh house, and the peer group becomes the whole moral authority; fourth, and home itself never quite settles into one place. Contacts to Mercury produce the fine abstract minds of the cohort and, when strained, an ungrounded cleverness. Aspects from Neptune to any personal planet are the mechanism by which the shared distraction becomes a private difficulty in feeling anything at ordinary human range.
