Will my memory still go on?

In Game Character History
A former Librarian at Brooklyn's Central Public Library, Gillian (JIH-lee-in) got thrown into a world of abilities and intrigue. Even before this, she'd been aware of her evolved state, though she didn't know anyone else had figured it out, her younger brother had come to that conclusion. Maybe her younger sister had too. Both of her siblings had allowed themselves to be registered by the government, though she never stepped forward.
Gillian has always valued her freedom, which is why, when her freedom was threatened by mysterious outside forces such as Vanguard and The Company, she went into hiding. Her actions led her to hook up with Gabriel Gray, as protection against these forces. She also met Peter Petrelli and got involved with the "terrorist" organization known as Phoenix.
Through her actions, her sister Jenny was murdered by the man she fell in love with, whom she betrayed in an encounter with Peter Petrelli. This betrayal got him sent to the distant future. At the same time, she witnessed the death of one Peter Petrelli and the capture of the other. After Sylar returned, she suffered an attack at his hands, and left her apartment, to stay in a loft filled with strings with their cat Chandra.
From there she ended up helping Phoenix stop the end of the world, in a bid to protect the man she loved, despite everything else that he'd done, and everything that he could be capable of doing. She saw the best in him, eyes blinded by a love that she probably wouldn't have ever felt if she'd known the real him when they first met. The lie was difficult to get over and eventually led to it breaking apart.
Things got strange when she met up with Pinehearst and assisted in the breakout at Moab. In fact the actions of Edward Ray could be attributed almost entirely to her. A single touch augmented his power to the point where he chose a future path which made most everything Volume Six: Sound of Thunder occur.
She also developed feelings for Peter which caused tension and worries in more areas than one, especially since in one future they would have been together. She helped destroy that future, whether she wanted to or not.
Temporarily, she had Peter's original power of Empathic Mimicry, which gave her a strange understanding of abilities and what people who have them go through. Whether this helps her with augmentation is yet to be seen. It certainly helped her lead part of the fight against Arthur Petrelli and help him get taken down.
She also recently discovered that she was adopted, and her biological family limited to her twin brother, Brian and her power synthetically gained.
She had fourteen tattoos. First they were marred by her body being nuked by Arthur Petrelli while she had regeneration, then they vanished entirely when she augmented Linderman while he healed her after she was mauled by wild dogs. She's changed her hair color a few times in the last months, from black, to brown, to reddish highlights and back to black.
Her ability to augment the powers of others makes her a dangerous enemy or a powerful ally, depending on who she sides with. In some ways her unpredictable choices make her dangerous no matter whose side she's supposed to be on.
Original Background
Life is boring and people, in general, suck. Or at least that's what Gillian would probably say if you asked. It's not actually true, but then most things that people say aren't true to an extent. To be more accurate, life used to be boring and people, in general, still suck. But we'll get back to that in a moment.
Born and raised in New York City (Queens, to be exact), Gillian Childs wasn't an only child, nor was she spoiled. Her family wasn't rich or totally well off, nor were they terribly poor and homeless. Instead, they were right there in the middle. Boring. Mother worked in a community center, baby sitting a bunch of little brats, while father had a manager position in one of those country-wide stories. Not Walmart, but almost as bad. Her younger siblings, Jennifer and Victor, were annoying little brats who caused more trouble than they were worth— but she probably did care about them somewhere down the line.
Schools were public, which probably didn't help with education or safety, and might explain little things about her, like the fact that she tends to wear black, pale make up, and has a couple tattoos on her body in various locations. Gotta do something to pass the time in a city school.
Jobs had to happen eventually, and while she made quite a few attempts to work in her father's store as a sales clerk, it never quite worked out and it ended up being a holiday only job (but they paid more during that time, so it worked). Fast food also got done a few times, as well. Then came University, specifically a Community College. Nothing big, nothing fancy, and half of her courses ended up being online. Less face-time she had to give to a professor, the better. Her major fluctuated. History to begin with (but what was she going to do with that?), which changed to Anthropology (again, what was she going to do with that?) and then Computers (a little more practical, but boring). Finally she settled on what would become probably the weirdest decision of her adult life: Library Sciences.
Yeah. She went there. Much to everyone's surprise. Upon getting a degree (associates), she got a job working at a library, and actually did much better than retail or fast food. Probably because she could tell people to shut up and spend half the time reading or doodling and no one would think twice of it.
But then the city blew up and everything went to hell. People still sucked. But boring? That became a thing of the past.
What. The. Hell. People are bombs, blowing up the city now? People have powers? Where did this come from?
None of her immediate family had been killed in the initial blast, but something about her family became very, very clear as time went by. The longer after the bomb and the more special people that started popping out of the wood work— it came out that her family weren't normal. Well, okay. Some of them were normal. Dad was pretty dull as far as she could tell. Mom, too. It was her little brother and sister that she started to notice they were "odd". To be specific, when they both came home from their far off Universities and visited, they both started acting very strange. Brother, for example, could move really really fast. Sister could make things wet. Really wet, sometimes.
As the laws insisted, both of them got registered, but they didn't need to get locked up, at the very least. But staying around them, even when they only stuck to the city for short times, made her realize something about herself.
Gillian was different too.
It all started with her sister. She could make things wet and control water in the atmosphere, to a limit. That was pretty clear. But one day while they were arguing, she grabbed her sister's arm… and suddenly the room started filling with water, until she got it under control. Flood damage to the extreme. And not only that, Gillian could sort of feel a surge of energy coming off of her— a power. Something that she could sense— and when she touched her, it got stronger. The same thing happened with her brother. He became much faster when she was around him. Neither of the siblings really noticed— they just thought they'd lost control of their abilities for a brief time. They weren't around her enough to know.
And they didn't feel it. Not like she did.
And Gillian hasn't seen fit to go up to the Evolved Registration and go 'sign me up' just yet. In fact, she'd rather like to avoid this sort of thing. Hopefully no one who can manipulate fire will walk into her library…
Personality
Gillian's personality might come off as very sarcastic and dry to the common observer. She doesn't seem to like people very much, and that's probably pretty accurate. This isn't to say she's all mean or rude and actually does hate everyone ever— she has had friends, and could still make friends, she's just not very good at it.
She's a private individual (hence the whole 'not telling people she's Evolved' thing) and she doesn't like opening up to people. She doesn't like feeling vulnerable. Even when she lost a bunch of people she knew in the Bomb, she didn't publicly break down over it, and she almost seems flippant when she mentions it. She does have major soft spots and sensetivities, but it'd take quite a lot for someone to see that.
Recent Developments
Recent events have made Gillian a lot more open and caring, but at the same time fearful of rejection. She's also lost a lot of her self-esteem, for various reasons, and at times even hates herself for things that have occurred. After an encounter with feral dogs during the Blizzard of '10, she no longer likes to be around dogs and has developed an irrational fear of them.
Ability Augmentation Overview
Gillian has the ability to boost or augment the Evolved abilities of others. This power can be both beneficial and damaging, giving negative and positive effects. Everything is heightened when this ability is active, in some ways side effects of an ability may be made even more drastic than normal, but the maximum potential of an ability is raised at the same time.
The energy for the augmentation comes from Gillian herself, which limits the amount of power she can give someone to her own personal energy. While she's gotten physically stronger over the last few months, she still has limits just like everyone else, and can wear herself down until lightheaded, weakened or unconscious. The flow ends immediately upon her death, or when she passes out.
When she first started out, Gillian had no control at all. She leaked energy like a broken nuclear core. With the help of Gabriel she found a way to keep her energy in for herself. This control is often described as a knot in the back of her head, like a garden hose getting tied up to cut the flow of water. Sometimes it's extremely easy for her to maintain the knot and do other things, other times it's extremely difficult. Surprises can unravel the knot, so can pain, so injuring her can lead to bad things.
The usual effect of her ability is to increase present power, allowing for some unique uses of ability that would be impossible without her. The ability would have always been a possibility, just something they'd not had the energy to manage in the past. With an application of power, she can trigger abilities. She can not force someone to manifest when they are not ready, but she can bring out powers that someone had not been intending to use. For example if a pyrokinetic isn't trying to use their power, she can push energy into them and force them to against their will. This can lead to disastrous results sometimes (nearly nuclear Peter anyone?). Anything far fetched or not included in their write up will need to be put through staff.
Special Circumstances
The one thing that this really gives her is the ability to sense where the flow of her energy is going. For example, if someone starts siphoning her energy when she's opened herself up, she'll know there's an Evolved within her range. It will take some time, but she can figure out how far away the person is, how close they are, and how much energy they're taking (which gives an idea on how active their ability is). Once she's familiar with them, she can choose to cut them off, or open herself up to them. It does not tell her what they use her energy for, or how it affects them, that she'll have to see with her own eyes. For someone who is unmanifested, yet evolved, she may upon touch feel a spark of energy wanting to go somewhere, but will know it has no where to go yet. This was seen in Running Into Neighbors.
There's also the potential of an augmentation loop if someone has her ability of an ability that's similar enough, but that may no longer be an issue. It drains energy quickly and can lead to extreme danger, especially if another Evolved power is tossed in there. This kind of power use will generally require staff presence.
Even without an augmentation loop, it is possible to force someone to lose control over their power and possibly drive them to overload, which could have damaging effects for the victim. It usually requires most of her remaining energy to force that on someone, though.
Blanket vs Pinpoint
The range of her power remains the same, 10 meters (or around 32 feet). When she's using the ability as a blanket with no specification of who gets energy, the people closest to her get the most. Those within two feet might get dormant (or currently unactivated) abilities triggered, those she physically touches may completely lose control or overload, but a lot of this depends on if she's trying to keep a rein on some of her energy reserves or not and on the players.
She used to be limited to the blanket, but now she can choose who in her range gets the energy and how much they can get, and she can use multiple threads of energy at once. The amount she can augment when she's not blanketing is two people at a time, and they must be within the 10 meters. The difference between this and blanketing, is that the distance doesn't matter. Someone at the edge of her range can get augmented as if they were only two feet away. The only higher level of augmentation is the one that requires touch. That can't be sent out from her.
Though she has control over the flow of energy most of the time, it is possible for someone to take more than she intends them to get. It can devolve into a battle of wills, with them taking much more than she intended once the connection is made.
Also important to note that she can not blanket and pin-point control at the same time. If she chooses to limit her power to one or two people, she can't also be augmenting anyone in range.
Level of Boost
The exact level of augmentation a person gets will depend a lot on the player and even, if the ability is going to harm them, other people present. Since some abilities are rather dangerous, everyone would need to agree on a level of effect. With some abilities (potential city destroyers for instance) the staff would also need to give an okay if the ability is augmented in a way that would seriously damage the game.
Quantifying this ability into numbers is pretty impossible. Some abilities might require less power than others to double potential, some may require more. Some powers can't really be augmented at all. In many cases, it will be handled on a scene-to-scene basis, with the augmentation enough to get the desired effect.
Reverse Augmentation
A new aspect of her ability was discovered in Playing With Fire.
Gillian can now transfer energy both ways within limits. This allows her to take energy from an Evolved, limiting the strength of their abilities and making uses of the ability more difficult and straining. This is not negation so much as a diminishing of an ability. If their ability can overload and leave them drained, that will happen more quickly. If an ability is automatic and uses very little energy at all (like regeneration or enhanced senses) it will only be slowed or dulled, but not taken away completely. It can be handled as the reverse of augmentation.
An ability must be active for her to drain energy from the person using it, and she must have physical contact. Those who are not using an ability at all can not be drained (so non-Evolved can not be drained either). The energy that she takes from one person can be used to augment another, or restore her own personal energy.
Storing energy is difficult on her unless she is using it to restore her personal reserves, so unless she was drained near to exhaustion, she must use the energy as she draws it out, adding it to an augmentation of others. She can only draw energy from one person at a time, but she can still send energy into a maximum of two. By using this energy to augment, she has more power to use to augment without overloading. Gillian cannot simultaneously drain and enhance someone at the same time.
Special FX
As a special effect of her ability, at higher levels, her eyes glow. Her skin at point of contact, and the skin of the person she's touching will also glow for touch based augmentation. Purple is her color, and that's the one it usually is, but it starts out dark at times, and then goes lighter depending on level of power. The maximum power she could manage would make her glow white, but the most she's capable of at this point is a violet.
Diminishing abilities requires physical contact with the person, and can take on a new special effect in the form of a crackling light, rather than a glow. Like electricity in appearance, but it doesn't affect people like electricity. A small drain would be darker purple, a heavy drain would veer toward white.
Temporary Ability
Empathic Mimicry
Thanks to contact with John and his uncanny ability to manipulate other people's evolutions, Gillian had a new power set that took some time to figure out and caused quite a few problems. She had the same ability as Peter Petrelli. Empathic Mimicry. The ability to absorb and mimic the abilities of any evolved who gets within ten feet of her. Absorption happened automatically and was uncontrolled. Manifestation of abilities may or may not have happened, usually uncontrolled until she managed to practice them.
This was a temporary condition that lasted from 04/29/2009-07/23/2009.
Just like Peter's write up, I borrowed his Tier style of keeping track of powers. These Tiers have nothing to do with the registration tiers.
Though this ability has been lost Checkmate - Fade To Black, the record of having had it is being kept for reference. And cause she gathered a lot of abilities in her time with it and it's fun to see them all!
Tier 1
The first tier of abilities Gillian wields are those she uses very easily, has had lots of help, training and practice with, or ones that are automatically accessed very easily. | ||
Superhuman Memory | The ability to remember a long sequence of numbers and other things! Manifested immediately and subconsciously. This ability actually helps her access every other ability she has, since she can recall the people, emotions and experiences to trigger the abilities much better than normal. Thank Cat for much of her control. | Prison, Guilt and Tyler Case |
Regeneration | The ability to regenerate from damage. Yay? One of many abilities gained from Arthur Petrelli. The only one that is automatically accessed. | Sacrifices |
Replication | The second Replication ability Gillian's picked up. This one she replicates nude, but she knows how to change back at least… No energy required, like the OTHER one she has… but her abilities don't seem to transfer completely to clones. So far she's already lost one to the "hand" of Arthur Petrelli. | Of Flesh, Blood and Metal |
Ability Augmentation | It took her almost until the end to figure out how to access this ability, but since it's her old one, she mastered it fairly fast. Once she found the trigger to activate it, she regained control once again fairly quickly. | To Feel Again |
Tier 2
The second tier of abilities are used with moderate skill, but require more concentration and effort. To get to this level, the abilities will likely require instruction from the person the ability is from. | ||
Electromagnetic Replication | The ability to expel an electromagnetic replicant. This ability manifested in quite a disorienting way. | Attenuation |
Superhuman Speed | Instead of turning into metal, Gillian suddenly found herself able to move and perceive things at super speeds. | Catching Up |
Weather Manipulation | The ability to sense and control the weather. Thanks to Peter Petrelli, she learned a catch to accessing it quite well. | The Fragile |
Metal Mimicry | Gillian was able to turn into metal. This transformation lasted a couple of days. | Reforged by Fire |
Superhuman Strength | Superhuman Strength gained by feeding off of fear. Comes with the ability to sense fear and anxiety off of people. | The Spark |
Powered Flight | The ability to fly. Pretty damn fast too. Spending a lunch getting lessons helped her grasp the ability fairly quickly. It comes with side effect of needing to eat a lot, much like Superhuman Speed. | Sky Tour |
Photokinesis | The ability to control light. She's had some training in this (off screen) so she knows the basics, and also had to do a lot of reading up on it to get things down. Though it's capable of quite a bit, she's stuck to only a few of the aspects of it. Specifically turning lasers into flashy fun lights. And some effort into turning herself invisible (but that leaves her blind unless she combines it with another ability). Most other aspects are unreachable for her, and she's not touching lasers— she likes her eyes. | Blind Faith |
Tier 3
The third tier abilities are talents Gillian is familiar with and has only a basic control over. | ||
Telepathy | The ability to read your thoughts! Manifested first as feedback, then assisted in an extended telepathic conversation with a certain sorta telepath. Ow. | Sacrifices |
Replication | Ability to replicate self based on outside energy, such as a punch or an electric shock. Comes with CLOTHES. | Like Bloody Cockroaches |
Gravity Control | The ability to control gravity, duh. Includes floating and nearly flying and jumping and other weird stuff. | Gillian And Magnes Sittin' In A Tree... |
Dream Walking and Manipulation | An extension of Teo of the Future's Astral Projection. While she's unaware of how to use that one, she might be capable of jumping into someone's dreams now that she's managed to remain lucid and took control of the dream while he was in hers. | The Cherub Contemplation |
Projective Precognition | The ability to give prophetic visions to others with physical contact. Though she promised never to use it on purpose, Gillian actually practiced this ability in secret and prepared it to counter Arthur's power absorption touch. This became key in the final fight with Arthur. | Something Else |
Wildcard
Gillian has made many connections with Evolved that she is either unaware possess a power, or she has not discovered the function of their power. Because of this, she has wildcard abilities that she may call upon in times of great need. These abilities are not able to be conjured at her leisure, and instead seem to manifest at appropriate (or inappropriate) times. Administration is free to call a wild card power at any time, and of any kind they desire. |
||
Audiokinesis | Sound control. Manifested in the ability to easedrop on a conversation. | The Fragile |
Psychoactive Secretion | At times of high negative emotion, any kind of secretion from Gillian's body will become a psychoactive goop that can cause hallucinations, euphoria and other aspects of tripping. She is unfortunately immune to the effects her own secretions. | I Accidentally the Elevator |
Magnetism | Only manifested in an enhanced control over her metal form. | Iron Maiden |
Telekinesis | Briefly encountered Alexander once he got back from the future. Did not manifest this ability, but has come close enough to maybe have absorbed it. | The Fragile |
Precognitive Dreams | The ability to dream of the future. She's really hoping she never experiences one of these. | The Past Is Prologue |
Biochemical Manipulation | Um… unmanifested and highly dangerous. | Sacrifices |
Ability Absorption | She might be able to steal your powers an all traces that you ever had one? Not manifested. Locked to Wizards for— um— yeah. | Sacrifices |
Clairvoyance | The ability to FIND YOU. Not manifested. No idea how to use it. But she suspects she might have this one. | Sacrifices |
Astral Projection | Come in contact with, not manifested except to sort of help her telepathy? | Drink For Thought |
Degeneration | … ffff. | Good Company |
Insect Telepathy | The ability to give commands with bugs and understand their intentions. She's got a partial hand on this one, whether she wants to have or not. | Live and Thrive |
Limited Psychometry | The power to view the past (specifically sins) of a person touched. She did this on purpose the first time she got it to get revenge for when it happened to her. | Ghosts Of Seasons Past |
Electrokinesis | The ability to control electricity. | Volatile |
Healing | The ability to heal people with Evolved abilities. Has many drawbacks. | Hush Now |
Arthur's Abilities | Anything else that Arthur had during their last encounter. | A Thousand Shadows |
Gabriel's Abilities | Any of the abilities that Gabriel got returned? Possibly. | From Bad to Miserable |
Delphine's Ability | Whatever it is she did. Again, maybe. | From Bad to Miserable |
Lighthouse Kids Abilities | All the abilities of the kids in the Lighthouse! This includes Postcognition and Impenetrable Skin as well as about seven others. | A Thousand Shadows |
Cardinal's Temporary Ability | Supposed to keep Arthur from finding her? Otherwise she has no idea what it does or how it works. | Take Down The Black King |

- "There's not a lot of people who are worth knowing." (to Amato in Just a Handshake)
- "You'd have to get to know me a lot better to see all of them." (to Gabriel in When Gillian Met Gabriel, about her tattoos.)
- "Word of advice— hand over your rent early. The cock-monkey known as our landlord loves looking for excuses to charge extra." (to Gabriel in When Gillian Met Gabriel)
- "Everyone likes their freedom— I like mine, you like yours. It's pretty much that simple. The reasons why don't matter quite as much as the idea behind it, you know?" (to Kent in Everyone Likes Freedom)
- "All I do is make people stronger— usually end up making them lose control. I'm not like that guy who flies around on fire. How can I defend myself? And you— you take away pain." (to Gabriel in Where The Pieces Fit)
- "There's always strings. I'm not naive. But I'm not a terrorist. I don't want to commit myself to a cause that would just use me. Attaching to one person gives more freedom." (to Gabriel in Strings Attached)
- "You shouldn't have to fight him alone." (to Gabriel in Paint Me Destruction)
- "He's going to destroy the world, both of them. If— I thought I could help. Stop them before they caused too much damage and… I'm sorry. It's— I really thought I could help." (to Gabriel in Welcome To Now)
- "I fought the end of the fucking world to see him again. I'm not going to sit in my stupid apartment waiting for you to get ahold of him when there's something I might be able to do myself." (to Teo in Mercy)
The parts I think really fit Gillian are bolded.
Rising Sign is in 04 Degrees Libra
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. "Peace and harmony at all costs" is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.
Sun is in 05 Degrees Scorpio.
Intense and complex by nature, you have extremely strong emotional reactions to most situations. Feelings are often very difficult for you to verbalize. Therefore you have a tendency to be very quiet - - to brood and think a lot. You seldom get overtly angry, but, when you do, you are furious and unforgiving. When you make an emotional commitment, it is total — you are not attracted to superficial or casual relationships. If you are challenged, you take it as a personal affront and tend to lash out and fight back in a vengeful manner. You love mysteries and the supernatural. A good detective, you love getting to the roots of problems and you enjoy finding out what makes other people tick. You are known to be very willful, very powerful and quite tenacious!
Moon is in 15 Degrees Virgo.
You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.
Mercury is in 28 Degrees Scorpio.
You are a born investigator. You are fascinated by secrets and mysteries and unanswered questions of any kind. When you become upset or angry, your emotional reactions are overpowering — reason and logic disappear in an uncontrollable passionate outburst. You tend to keep your thoughts secret and bottled up and this makes others regard you with suspicion. It is not that you are trying purposely to be evasive, it is just that you would rather not deal with the explosions and hassles that often occur when you reveal your true feelings and opinions. Your sense of humor tends toward sarcasm and irony.
Venus is in 16 Degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively; if you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so — you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you — this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.
Mars is in 11 Degrees Aquarius.
Your ideas and opinions are usually inventive and original, but sometimes they are merely eccentric and offbeat. You are altruistic — you will work hard for the attainment of group goals, as long as they meet your high standards. You tend to resent traditional authority figures because you think that your ideas are better thought out and more valuable than theirs. Very idealistic, you are a rebel WITH a cause!
Jupiter is in 13 Degrees Pisces.
You are at your best when you give of yourself and what you have — try to avoid being a martyr about it, though. You're a true idealist, but you must learn not to be upset when life does not cooperate with the way you think things should be. Very concerned with spiritual truth and growth, when you practice what you preach, you make an excellent role model for others. You are so devoted to altruistic ventures and concerns that you tire easily at times. It then becomes necessary for you to go off by yourself to recharge your batteries.
Saturn is in 08 Degrees Sagittarius.
Basically quite conservative, you respect traditional authority figures and are very thankful and supportive of the laws and institutions which govern your life. You learn and accept new ideas only after having very thoroughly examined them. Ideals and abstract concepts are important to you only if they can be used in some practical fashion. You are so practical and so orderly that you have natural skills in planning, administrating and organizing.
Uranus is in 19 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.
Neptune is in 03 Degrees Capricorn.
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.
Pluto is in 07 Degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.
N. Node is in 20 Degrees Aries.
You're at your most comfortable when involved in group activities outside of your immediate family circle. You delight in getting involved with others in neighborhood civic or political activities, especially if you can be a part of the leadership of the group. Your zeal and overabundant energy bring out your real creativity when you can work toward tangible results — things that will immediately benefit those around you. You have a real gift for getting the most out of charity drives and community benefits. Take time out between projects though, because you tire out easily and your effectiveness becomes greatly diminished when your energy is depleted. Also, don't even think of trying to get involved at a peripheral level — you need a total commitment to feel personally fulfilled. Let others bake the cookies and set up the chairs — you should be the one to tell everyone what to do and when to do it!
