(Had the idea during a PM conversation with @taramarie.)
As we know, people have characters typical for their generation not because of astrological influence, but because of the events that shaped them.
I'm thinking especially of the recessive Archetypes: Nomads and Artists.
Nomads are shaped by their messy, unprotected childhood and adults who are too incompetent to handle big events (or even not that big events).
Artists are shaped by overprotective parents, esp. mothers because the fathers are absent.
Maybe that's typical in the Anglosphere, but in continental Europe, there are exceptions because of the war.
That's why we have a Silent ("War-children") generation that was a typical Artist generation because their numbers are small, they were stuck between elder Heroes and younger "Prophets" - but in their childhood, they went through a big mess, like Nomads.
OTOH, not only there many people from Generation X grew up with single mothers, so while they're still stuck between elder "Prophets" and younger Heroes, they may be more artistically inclined and neurotic as usual for Nomads, and more like Artists in that regard.
We really should try to sort this out - find out which part of their characters was caused by their influences that made them Nomad- or Artist-like.
