Roughly seven years per sign means this describes a generation rather than a person. The most recent group was born in the 1960s, following a pass in the early 1880s; the full cycle takes roughly eighty-four years. Both windows coincide with upheaval in labour and medicine, the first in industrial hygiene and the second in computing, diet and alternative practice. The cohort grew up assuming that the standard method was probably wrong.
The shared temperament is analytical and quietly subversive. These are not people who overturn things loudly; they audit them. They collectively broke faith with orthodox medicine and orthodox employment, then rebuilt both through self-testing, technical work and the invention of trades that did not previously exist. The characteristic weakness is anxiety, since a mind trained to find the flaw in every system eventually turns the instrument on itself and on the body it lives in.
House and aspect make the general trait personal. In the sixth house it produces irregular working life, unusual illness, or a genuine gift for improving how a job is done; in the twelfth, a private and unorthodox approach to healing. Aspects to Mercury bring technical originality, often accompanied by a nervous constitution that reacts to strain immediately and requires the sort of unconventional routine other people find inexplicable.
