Before the 1960′s, when the TV series Flipper became popular, trained sea creatures such as dolphins were a very rare occurrence. Richard “Ric” O’Barry was a dolphin trainer at Miami Seaquarium and helped to capture five wild dolphins that would be trained to star in Flipper. He carried this on for 10 years until Kathy, who was the main dolphin to star in Flipper, died in his arms; he strongly believes she committed suicide when she didn’t resurface for air. It was this one event that completely changed his stance on what he was doing. He suddenly realised that imprisoning and training these beautiful and intelligent creatures for human entertainment was abhorrent. On Earth Day of 1970, Ric founded The Dolphin Project which is an organisation dedicated to educating people about the plight of dolphins in captivity. This organisation rescues and rehabilitates dolphins and releases them back to the wild. As well as this, Ric leads an international effort to stop the hunting of dolphins and the trafficking of dolphins to theme parks such as Sea World. He has written two books: Behind the Dolphin Smile and To Free a Dolphin, and also appeared in the documentary, The Cove.

This is a generational planet. This is the part millennial - part generation Z indicator. People with this placement posses an immense amount of energy to create change, both within themselves and of course, as a collective.
They are fire-breathing dragons, protectors of the truth. These natives were born at a time in which there was still remains of the “truths” of the past, as well as the introduction of rapid changes in technology thus also rapid changes in how knowledge/wisdom/information transformed. This bred a group of people that instinctively know how to discern the real from the fiction, as they were witness to the deconstruction of former “truths” and construction of new ones. You can’t fool them because they intuitively understand the piece by piece process of how beliefs come about. This is at the very heart of the role Pluto plays in our lives, at a personal as well as global level. Transformation in the form of piecing away.
Sagittarius stands between Scorpio - a water sign, a keeper of memories, a remembrance of what came before; and Capricorn - an earth sign, a builder of the future and implementation of new orders and structures. As such, natives with Pluto and Sagittarius are the key between the then and the now, they will (and are as they enter adulthood and the workforce) be crucial players in how the human collective will shape a new, more progressive, more honest world order.
