A huge generational shift may soon be underway.
This post is sort-of an expansion/continuation/sidequel to my previous post about the trend, in urban fantasy and modern mythologies, to make a "new trinity" (you can see it here). There is another trope (or sub-trope, or maybe simply motif) that I love very much when dealing with "modern gods" and it is "the generational effect" as I like to call it. Though maybe it is not a good title for it... "Generational incarnation"? Generational avatars?
To take one example of it, among many, in the very famous, very succesful comic book series "The Wicked + The Divine", there is "every ninety years or so" a phenomenon of reincarnation where mythical deities spontaneously return to the human world as exceptional human beings with incredible gifts that make them admired by their peers. And the comic book, set in 2014/early 21st century is a commentary/parody, evocation/criticism, "analysis" of the singers of pop culture, the idol phenomenon and our music industry, with each of the deity reflecting a famous big musician of today's media. But in "sequel issues" released in the franchise, exploring the previous "generations" of these deities, we see their nature evolving. They are always admired and famous artists - but they fit their historical context. As such, the deities of the early 19th century (1831) were authors and poets, evoking/caricaturing the Romantic Movement, whereas the early 20th century deities (1923) are fictional versions of central cultural figures of the Roaring Twenties/Jazz Age (authors, painters, movie-makers and movie-stars). This offers for a very interesting worldbuilding-thinking process about the evolution of art and of the people we admire for their gifts.
To remain in the world of comic books, a more recent example of this (or rather one I discovered more recently) is within "Astro City" where one of the big reveals (well not so much "big" but, you know, VERY important for the worldbuilding) is that there is, within the city, a spirit embodying counter-culture as a whole and which manifests, generation after generation, as various incarnations of the specific music-and-dance fashions that reflect the era's counter-culture. It was Mister Cakewalk when the 20th century began, it became Jazzbaby by the 20s and 30s, was the Zootsuit in the 40s, the Bouncing Beatnik in the 50s, the Halcyon Hippie in the 60s, Glamorax in the 70s, and briefly the Punk (Putrid or Peerless)...
In fact it is a motif you can see being quite recurring in comic books. To take a third and different example, not art-related this time, there was the character of the super-hero "Uncle Sam", leader of the Freedom Frighters super-team. Originally created by Will Eisner for Quality Comics, now DC-owned, "Uncle Sam" is presented as the definitive incarnation of an entity called "The Spirit of America" which, as its name indicates, is the embodiment of the newly formed American nation. All of his previous incarnations were, like Uncle Sam, nationalistic personifications from the real-world: Uncle Sam is born of the union of the feuding duo of Billy Yank and Johnny Reb from the Civil War, whom themselves were but the splitting of the older Brother Jonathan, who himself was just an evolution of the Minuteman (the first manifestation of the Spirit, during the Revolutionnary War).
Speaking of America however... Of course, one of the core representatives of this motif of "generatonal avatars" is American Gods. But no, not the novel. The television series rather.
Well... The book does touch upon the idea that the "New Gods" of the "present day" are not the first ones and previous ones have risen and fallen before. It is said at both the beginning and end that before the current New Gods (computer, television, men-in-black) there were the "iron gods" born of the worship of railways and trains, taking the shape of railroad barons, and they "fell"... In a similar way the novel hints that the deities of television and of cinema/Hollywood (which are in this continuity two different group) only existing "by their own light", hinting that they rely on specific fames and glories that make them disappear once it is gone... Plus we know the New Gods have an "afterlife" just like the Old Ones. But the novel does NOT explore this much, as the New Gods in general are not very much explored as as a faction as merely presented.
The television show adaptation, however, had planned to explore this concept. Season 2 precisely was created around the potential this "life cycle" of modern deities could bring. However season 2 being the huge mess that it was, with entire half-episodes scratched into oblivion, change of showrunners, the cast running away or being sent away for no reason... It becomes a bit difficult to get the full lore so bear with me for this synthesis of the cool (and not cool) ideas they had. The main one being the character of the Technical Boy, god of technology, and how he goes through a life-cycle of "divine updates".

Good morning beautiful, What’s your take on Pluto transition to Aquarius? And personally mines is in 11th anything I should be aware of?
♀ Hello!
Is it bad that I don't really pay attention to transits ? Lmao. I know it's made pretty big in the astro community, but personally I don't keep up with them. To me, it just comes naturally with a new generation of people. So something new is to be expected.
Not to say that this transition isn't impactful, this transition is hUgE.

I don't really pay attention because pluto has been in aquarius for a while now (throughout the year, retrograding between aquarius & capricorn then back to aquarius soon. And it's staying for what? The next 20 years?)
It's something you can see happening already w the rise of this somewhat dystopian feel of everything being online, quick & technological. Everyone is being their own kind of philosopher lol. Doing whatever the hell they want regardless of what is considered "appropriate". The " new age" of thinking has arrived.

To answer your question though, you might gain some sort of strong constitution or open your mind about something. Being independent, doing things your way. These are patterns you're likely to follow for the next 20 years.
The last time pluto was in aquarius was around the time of the American & French revolution and you guessed it— around the time of the Age of Enlightenment.
So expect to see more changes, whether for the better or the worst.

English language shift I have noticed:
Fewer young people use the -er suffix as a comparative to indicate something is even more of something. Like instead of "sadder," I see people using "more sad."
I don't know why this is, but it's becoming a thing!

Somewhere between ration cards and missing fabric, a value reset took place—one that taught people not merely how to survive, but how to use, reuse, and then reuse the reuse until even guilt had no waste left in it.

On Hell royal fashions
millie says, ' its so interesting to see how hell royal fashions and mannerisms change over time. you get paimon's generation of goetia elders, all speaking in quasi shakespearan and dress in ancient hell royal motifs ( which has a mix of east and west motifs with ancient chinese highlights ), Via's generation of goetia grandkids often speak in more ' modern regal ' style and often wear more ' modern ' clothes that still have ancient hell royal roots. stolas' generation of goetias are often somewhere in between. its interesting to see the generational differences. and the fact that paimon and amethyst like their grandkids' styles shows that they may be ancient beings but they embrace good change. of course paimon and amethyst still sometimes give their grandkids some ancient hell royal robes, and the grandkids appreciate the gesture. '
Hell citizens share headcanons about royal fashion and generational differences.
Fashion and Manners: A Generational Shift
Stolas's generation: Bridging the ancient and the modern
• "You can tell Stolas and his siblings were raised by Paimon and Amethyst, but also grew up observing the changing mortal world," a Hell-dwelling fashion critic remarked. "Their style is a perfect hybrid. They still rock the dramatic capes and intricate, ancient Hellish jewelry, but they pair it with sleek, form-fitting pieces that wouldn't look out of place on a mortal red carpet" [0].
• A hellish art historian noted, "Stolas himself is a great example. You see the deep, ancient colors and patterns in his robes, a nod to his parents' style, but the cut is sharp and tailored. And his manner of speaking? Less thees and thous than his father, but still very formal and grand" [0].
Paimon's generation: The grandeur of the ancients
• "Paimon's generation is pure old-school royalty," said a citizen. "Their robes are all about that ancient, flowy elegance. Think Chinese silk motifs mixed with Mesopotamian designs, all draped with an imposing air. And their way of speaking is so elaborate, like they're narrating their own lives in a play" [0].
• An imp working in a royal manor shared, "Paimon is all about tradition. You won't catch him in anything modern. And Amethyst, Ozzie's daughter, brings in a beautiful, surrealist element to their fashion. Her influence is definitely seen in her kids' styles" [0].
Via's generation: Modern royalty redefined
• "Look at Via," a young hellion observed. "Her fashion is totally different. It's modern, but still has that royal edge. She embraces current trends but weaves in those old family symbols and patterns in subtle ways. Her mannerisms are much more down-to-earth than her grandpa's, but she still has that natural regal presence" [0].
• A fashion blogger in the Pride Ring wrote, "Via's generation proves that royal doesn't have to mean stuffy. They can wear designer Hell clothes and still have that royal air. It's a fresh take on what it means to be a Goetia royal" [0].
Royal relationships and family dynamics
The loving grandparents: Paimon and Amethyst
• "It's heartwarming to see Paimon and Amethyst embracing their grandkids' styles," a citizen said. "For ancient beings, they're surprisingly open to change. It proves that even old-school royalty can appreciate progress, as long as it's good change. And the grandkids appreciating the ancient robes shows they honor their roots" [0].
Across Generations.
Writing is how we passed information on beyond our lifetimes. Many cultures did it verbally prior to it, but with the advent of writing it became easier. Of course, the ideas that were published made it further than those that did not, and those that controlled what was published controlled the way we read history. That’s pretty well accepted now. Within that we got biases in what was passed…
