Generational tone (outer-planet weighting)
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
Outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) move so slowly that their sign placements are shared by entire generations. Their signs describe generational tone, not personal traits. Personal meaning is extracted from the outer planet's house, its aspects to personal planets, and its degree.
