Fast Cars
I ran across a list on Wikipedia of the "Top 10 Sport Cars of All Time." Of these cars, 5 out of the 10 were produced and marketed for the public in the early 60s. That means that they're Pluto in Virgo cars. That doesn't seem like a remarkable phenomenon until you realize that Uranus moved into Virgo in 1962 and was beginning its conjunction to Pluto. According to Rex Bills, Speed is ruled by (Mercury & Uranus). Sex is ruled by Pluto, Mars, and H5-Sun. Okay, so Pluto and Uranus were in Leo before they were in Virgo. That was providing the Motivation to create the Technology. And Pluto. Pluto was providing the Mojo, Baby.
The Pluto in Gemini generation was probably going through its Mid-Life crisis at this time via the Pluto square. A bunch of peaked-out middle-aged Pluto in Geminians were dumping their life savings into one last hurrah by buying these cars. First came the Car, then came the Pill, then came the Divorce, maybe not exactly in that order, things were chaotic back then. One of the first guys my Mother ever dated drove a car with doors that swang open from the roof and when he turned on the ignition the chassis would rise a couple of inches off the ground and the engine would bellow out all kinds of swear words in Italian and German. I don't know what kind of car it was, I do remember that it was White and the next morning my Mother said it was just "compensatory behavior."
It sort of makes sense that the actual Pluto in Virgo generation, 50% product of divorce, would itself choose to drive SUVs; souped-up moving vans for all our crap; suburban high chairs for lost, dour childhoods spent sending parents off on dates in midget Space Shuttles.
