You will find that the interpretation of your chart is written in simple
language, uncluttered by astrological jargon. If a statement appears to
contradict another statement, then you exhibit these opposite qualities at
different times in your life. For example, a statement that you are highly
sociable and gregarious and a statement that you prefer solitude seemingly
contradict each other; this means that you vacillate, and need both sociability
and solitude at different times.
The astrological factor that the interpretation is based on is also given. The
astrological factor is given for the benefit of astrologers and students of
astrology. If you are not a student of astrology, then obviously the factor will
not be meaningful to you, and you can ignore it.
If you find this interpretation of your birth chart interesting and informative,
you might want to discuss your birth chart with a professional astrologer to
learn more about the astrological influences on your life.

Chapter 1: General Characteristics
Your fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by
the four astrological elements. Each person has their own unique balance of
these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth
(practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual
qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings).
Your "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are
"unbalanced" or lopsided, and if you are lacking or deficient in a certain
element (or elements), it simply means that you need to consciously develop that
aspect of yourself to learn to appreciate and/or to work harder in that
dimension of life.
Sometimes we overvalue the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as
a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities
described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following
chapters.
At times you function like the
bureaucratic committee who will discuss and study a situation endlessly before
doing anything about it: you lack the drive, passion, or confidence to put your
best ideas into action. You may be reluctant to act forthrightly without the
reinforcement and agreement of others, seeking feedback and advice when you
actually need to simply act on what you already know.
You need to develop a stronger sense of yourself, to build self-confidence, and
to learn to be more self-motivated. Finding a source of inspiration for your
life, something that warms you from within and gives life a sense of meaning, is
also important for you.
As you will read in the next chapter, you actually come across to others in an
intuitive, empathic way, but (as indicated here) you are quite capable of being
cool and impartial - more so than you might seem.

Chapter 2: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
The following is a description of your basic stance towards life, the way others
see you, the way you come across, the face you show to the world. In Chapter 3
you will read about the "The Inner You: Your Real Motivation", which describes
the kind of person you are at heart and where your true priorities lie. Read
this chapter and the next one and compare them - there may be significant
differences between them, in which case "the inner you" may not shine through
and others are in for some surprises when they get to know you at a more than
superficial level. This chapter describes the costume you wear, your role in
life, while Chapter 3 talks about the real person inside the costume.
You appear gentle and soft, and you act rather reserved with others until you
know them well and feel it is safe to be open with them. You have a strong need
for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and are deeply attached to the
past: your heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc.
Making radical changes or moves away from what is known and safe can be very
painful and difficult for you. You tend to cling and hold on to people,
memories, possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a
safe haven, is very important to you.
You approach life emotionally and subjectively and are sensitive to the
emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around you.
Instinctive and nonrational, you are often unable to give a clear, simple
explanation for your actions. Something FEELS right, or it doesn't.
Your emotions and personal loyalties tend to color your thoughts and opinions.
You view life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach
yourself from your own personal bias and prejudices. You are apt to be concerned
primarily with how something affects you and those dear and close to you, rather
than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, you
may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without
really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Put
simply: if it is good for me and mine, it is good. If it is not good for me and
mine, it is no good.
You are tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those you care about,
and have a very strong nurturing, motherly nature (regardless of your gender).
You empathize with others and intuitively sense the feelings and needs of other
people. Compassionate and sympathetic, you are easily moved by others' pain, and
you are often the one others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or
help.
Your moods fluctuate and change frequently and you are sometimes open, sometimes
withdrawn emotionally. You communicate nonverbally and appreciate a person who
can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything
explicit.
You never forget either kindness or unkindness shown to you.
You appear to be unusual, highly independent, and a free spirit. There is a
touch of brilliance, of the creative genius, in your manner. You are also
restless and easily distracted, tending to fly from one thing to another, which
may give the impression that you are unreliable.
You tend to blend in with and take on the characteristics of the people in your
surroundings, and may thus not make a powerful individual statement of your own.
You may project an aura of glamour or "make-believe", and enjoy trying on
different personalities at different times.
The image you project to the world, and the person you really are inside, are
considerably different. So much so that at times you may feel that people don't
see or know the real you. They respond to the face they see, and the initial
impression you make may actually be misleading. Within yourself, also, there is
much complexity and tension, and you often feel that you need to change yourself
in significant ways or that you continually hold back essential aspects of
yourself.
Your family conditions may have been a bit oppressive, adding a note of gravity
to your personality. Somewhat insecure, you may feel that others restrain you,
have doubts about mankind in general and a fear of failure.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
You have two conflicting interests that you try to resolve. As described in the
previous chapter, you love to nurture and support others, and family is very
important to you. However, there is another side to you: at heart you are a very
independent person and you need to participate in community affairs and be
involved with the world at large. Having a meaningful career and being involved
in a larger circle of friends and associates are important to you as well. There
are many ways to fulfill both sides of yourself. You may become an advocate for
the importance of families' needs, women's and children's issues in the work
place and in society in general. Or you may simply bring a personal, supportive,
human element into the impersonal atmosphere of business or academia. One
negative possibility, however, is that you can become very dogmatic about your
own personal concerns and biases, not realizing how many of your social,
political, and evens scientific views are rooted in personal experiences rather
than objective criteria.
You are a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and independent-minded individual, and
you insist upon living your own life as you see fit, even if that means ignoring
convention and tradition. In personal relationships you cannot be owned or
possessed, and while you are willing to share yourself with another, you do not
always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of a close relationship.
Though intellectually open, you can be enormously stubborn, opinionated, and
inflexible on a one-to-one level. You have strong convictions and feelings about
fairness and equality, and you try to live by your ideals, but your ideals about
how people SHOULD treat one another don't always take into account human
weaknesses, differences, and needs. You probably dislike sentimentality and
traditional gender roles and "games".
You are fair, intelligent, objective, rational and often let your head rule
rather than your heart. You seem rather self-sufficient and detached emotionally
because you are capable of putting aside your personal feelings and viewing
things dispassionately. But once you make up your mind on an issue, you are
difficult to sway and can be rather dogmatic.
You think in broad terms and are concerned with the world beyond your own
personal sphere - your town, nation, or even planet. You are likely to become
involved in community affairs, social organizations, and groups of all kinds, or
to have a keen interest in such. You enjoy being part of a group endeavor and
often find yourself organizing, managing, or supervising group activities.
Forward-looking and progressive, you harbor great hopes for the future. You stay
current and up to date, and respond to contemporary cultural trends, both in
terms of personal style and in terms of ideas. When young you were very
influenced by your peers and by group pressures and by all the "latest crazes".
You have an experimental mind and are attracted by the novel.
Your strong points include your concern for human welfare and social betterment,
your sense of fairness and democratic spirit, and your vision. Your faults are
your stubbornness and inflexibility, and a tendency to be very obtuse and
insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human needs.
You crave intense experiences and are attracted to aspects of life that are
strange, unfathomable, or taboo. You may hide your interests or inclinations,
except from those who know you very intimately. You are rarely content with
yourself and your life, and you have an inner urge to be continually going
farther or deeper than you ever have before. You also have a strong interest in
social power and the role that money and economics play in people's lives.
Feelings of personal inadequacy, inhibitions, and self-doubt often plague you.
You have a cautious, careful, realistic attitude toward life and are highly
responsible and disciplined with regard to your obligations and duties. You tend
to work and struggle more than you need to, and to take yourself too seriously.
Although you take yourself and your responsibilities seriously, there is also a
part of you that rebels against rules and restrictions and answering to outside
authority. You can feel torn between conforming or fulfilling your obligations,
and breaking free of them. Your wilder side will now be described.
Impulsive, restless, and spontaneous, your life is apt to be somewhat unstable
and full of sudden changes. You are extremely independent and crave excitement,
adventure, freedom, and discovery. You have a rebellious streak and often feel
you are unusual and different from the mainstream of society. The unorthodox and
novel appeal to you.
You tend to impose your will upon others in a rather ruthless way, but on the
other hand may also be imposed upon by others yourself. You feel a constant need
to fight for leadership and have a great desire to become a public figure.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
You are a progressive thinker, open and receptive to new technologies and
breakthroughs in science, and the latest discoveries in any field. You have high
expectations and a deep belief that mankind's problems can be solved through the
use of our creative intelligence and inventive mind. You have no patience for
those whose conservative, unimaginative outlook limits their capacity to find
solutions and envision a better future. You also like to keep abreast of current
developments in world affairs, for you instinctively know that what happens in
one part of the world affects everyone. You have a strong humanitarian impulse.
Practically speaking, you have an aptitude for organization and enjoy being
involved in cooperative endeavors or businesses that are contemporary and
innovative.
You are often involved in verbal exchanges, interviewing, discussing, debating,
counseling, negotiating, getting and giving feedback, and sharing information.
You are drawn to intelligent and verbal people, with whom you can communicate
and from whom you can learn. You love to have an audience to hear your ideas,
and you also appreciate eloquent presentations by others.
You are a natural psychologist or counselor, interested in the inner
motivations, feelings, personal life, and problems of others. You are a
sympathetic listener and you also love to discuss (endlessly!) your own
experiences and feelings. You tend to be very personal and subjective in your
point of view. You have a talent for getting others to talk about their lives,
dreams, desires, and other things that are personally meaningful to them. You
could be an excellent interviewer, reporter, or biographer. Idle talk and gossip
are your vices.
The study of the past - history, archeology, genealogy, etc. - is of great
interest to you. Psychology, symbolism, mythology, and languages are also areas
that you are drawn to.
Your desire to make a point sometimes overrides your receptivity to others'
views. You can be a good listener but often it is hard for you not to speak out.
Argumentative and rather aggressive and critical in discussions, you tend to
turn any conversation into a debate, and sometimes a verbal war. You could be a
spokesman for a righteous cause, a lawyer vigorously defending a client, a sharp
analyst or critic. You are a convincing speaker, but are not especially
receptive to the ideas and opinions of others. You have a forceful intellect and
an aptitude for mental work.
You have an ongoing interest in learning and expanding your mental horizons. You
enjoy traveling, philosophical discussions, and exchanging ideas with those of
different experiences and viewpoints. Broad-minded and fair, you are well-suited
to law, consulting, diplomatic relations, and also business. You learn quickly,
and can pick up on a new idea or concept with relative ease.
You have a charming disposition and love to socialize and meet new people. You
also like to be surrounded by beautiful things and like to talk to others about
your views on love problems as well as your views on beauty, fashion and art in
general.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
You are not easily moved by emotional displays and can be curiously detached
from your own and others' emotions. It's almost as if you could turn your
feelings on and off at will so you should be careful not to leave the switch
"off" too often, for you could easily become too impersonal. Family ties and
attachments are not as important to you as they are to most people and you often
consider your friends closer to you than your blood relatives. Certainly, your
sympathy and concern extends much beyond your immediate family. In your personal
relationships, you insist upon a certain amount of independence and the freedom
to pursue friendships with as many people, of both sexes, as you choose. You do
not appreciate a jealous, possessive partner.
You feel comfortable in an atmosphere that is open and experimental, and you
have little taste for convention and tradition.
Though you want closeness very much, you often close yourself off and do not
really trust others who may wish to get to know you. You are very wholehearted
in your feelings and responses to people, and you want all or nothing from the
people you care for.
You are temperamental and impatient and can be very difficult to live with. You
tend to respond with a temper tantrum (overt or subtle) if your desires are
frustrated. You become very irritable and bad-tempered if you do not have enough
vigorous physical activities or other outlets for your aggressive, feisty
spirit.
Although you get hot under the collar rather easily (as mentioned above), you
also have a certain degree of emotional self-control and composure which enables
you to rein in some of your more aggressive tendencies. This side of you is
described below.
You often feel that you must do something or be something other than what you
are in order to receive approval and acceptance from others. You are very
sensitive to criticism and easily feel left out or neglected, and though you may
appear cool or distant, you actually care very much about being included.
Because you are so sensitive, it may seem easier for you to withdraw into a
shell rather than risk the emotional bumps and bruises that can occur when you
let others really know you in an intimate, personal way. Your reserve and
caution make establishing a close emotional rapport with others difficult for
you, and you become very attached to the few people you consider "real friends".
You can gain inner security and strength through periods of solitude if you view
them as times to nourish yourself and develop your own interests, rather than as
times of loneliness.
You are open and unconventional in your attitude towards love, romance, and sex.
You enjoy socializing, bringing people together, and having many friends of both
sexes. You value friendship very highly and are, in fact, more comfortable being
a friend than a lover. You desire an intellectual rapport or spiritual bond with
your love partner, but deep intimacy and emotional bonding do not come easily to
you. The role of "husband" or "wife" in the traditional sense doesn't appeal to
you, and you abhor jealousy and possessiveness since you feel that no person
truly "belongs" to another. You appreciate a love partner who will allow you
plenty of freedom and is not very emotionally demanding.
You are a very personable, affectionate, loving friend and will always have many
people in your life who love and cherish you. You prefer being with others
rather than on your own, and you feel very incomplete without a special person
in your life to share your love with. Being half of a close, loving couple is
very important to you.
You are a peacemaker, the one who adapts, harmonizes, and makes concessions for
the sake of the relationship. Your charm and agreeableness makes you very
popular.
You appreciate beautiful surroundings and congenial company, and though you
enjoy helping people, you will rarely put yourself out too much in order to do
so. You are good-humored and generous at heart but inclined to be lazy.
Intimate relationships are the arena in which you plumb the depths of which you
are capable. You could fall intensely and fanatically in love and be obsessive,
extraordinarily jealous, or deeply involved with partners who are. You will
experience both heaven and hell in your closest relationships. There is
undoubtedly a peculiarly karmic, fated quality to these relationships which,
though difficult, will teach you things about yourself and about love that you
could learn in no other way. Often you will enter a relationship which you know
rationally will be very difficult but, which you nevertheless can not resist. Do
not berate yourself for these "bad" choices; instead learn what you can from
them.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
Once you set your mind on a goal, your dedication, determination, and commitment
to it are extraordinary. You pursue your ambitions tenaciously and will
stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's
tortoise, you labor patiently and steadfastly until you achieve what you want
-or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. You are a
reliable, consistent, and productive worker, and often shoulder more of the
workload than your co-workers, usually without complaint. The nitty-gritty work
often falls to you. You prefer a regular routine, with definite hours and
clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or
routine is very important to your success because once you get started in a
certain direction, is easy for you to follow it through to its completion.
Getting started is more difficult. You have a lazy, comfort-loving side and
there is often a good deal of inertia for you to overcome before you get going.
Once you get a momentum going, your energy level is strong and steady.
You are interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievement. You
need to have some tangible product or contribution to show for your efforts, and
cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time,
learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a
large factor in determining what you do. Your stamina and persistence is your
great strength but it can also work against you; you can get caught in a rut and
refuse to seize new opportunities. You also tend to play it safe, and to limit
yourself in that way.
You are a team player and work well in collaboration with others who share your
goals, ideals, and intentions. You can coordinate group efforts and inspire
people to work toward a shared goal.
Team sports are also a lot of fun for you, and you could be a leader, coach, or
director of any group endeavor.
You are very serious about reaching your goals and feel that keeping your nose
to the grindstone is the only way to do it. Hard work, persistent effort, and
concentration upon a single objective are the ways you achieve your aims in
life. You exercise great self-control, even self-denial, in order to accomplish
what you desire. You meet obstacles stoically and will struggle patiently
through difficult circumstances. You feel that you must rely on yourself alone,
that it's all on your shoulders, and you can be a harsh disciplinarian,
expecting far too much from yourself and others. Often you hold yourself back,
doubting your own power and ability. You may feel that you meet great resistance
whenever you try to assert yourself or take initiative, and that is very
frustrating to you. However, you have the power of endurance and a dogged
determination to overcome all obstacles.
You possess great zeal and passion for achieving your aspirations in life, and
can be something of a fanatic when you set your sights on a goal. You could do
research work, psychological investigation, even detective work -- anything that
involves delving beneath the surface for hidden elements. A great love of
mystery and exploring the unknown fuels many of your personal ambitions.
Your career is apt to involve beauty, adornment, the arts, or entertainment. You
personal charm and appeal are significant factors in your profession, as well.
You are very good at selling and promoting -- whether it is yourself, or your
product or company.
The road to success, professional advancement, and fulfillment of your
long-range goals is apt to be easier and smoother for you than for many. Partly
this is due to getting a great deal of support -- financial, emotional, or both.
Probably someone early in your life really believed in you and had high
expectations for you. You contribute to your own success by having large goals,
and by including, helping and enlisting the aid of friends and others in
reaching those goals. A lack of selfishness or pettiness is a great boon to you.
Whatever you do is apt to be expansive and eventually quite prosperous.
You seem to lack confidence in yourself and worry about being compromised or
exposed. You may feel that you are unable to defend yourself and tend to
withdraw from others. It is more important to you to do the right thing than to
be popular.
You are very generous and your style of life is likely to be grandiose. A very
gracious host, you display a warm heart and gladness when you meet other people.
You have the ability to radiate your inner happiness and show your affection for
others.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
You have the ability to see connections between seemingly unrelated ideas or
worlds, and to bring them together. You excel in any field requiring clear
intellect, and verbal and communication skills. You have an insatiable curiosity
and may read or watch television constantly in order to satisfy your need for
mental stimulation. Your mind never stops.
You have good fortune working with groups, organizations, and others who share
your ideals. You go further if you unite your efforts with others, as in clubs,
networks, or civic associations. Social improvement, or benefiting your
community is very important to you.
Although your vitality may be a bit low, you always have an optimistic outlook
and the ability to enjoy the pleasant things in life. In spite of your somewhat
weak constitution, you find a way to achieve success with little physical
exertion.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You either overvalue or undervalue your possessions and assets. You can also go
to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or
ascetic. You may deny yourself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of
your labors. You may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times you
feel that you do not have "enough" to make you feel secure, regardless of how
much (money, insurance, etc.) you have!
You are generally not a "joiner" and do not feel comfortable in clubs,
organizations or other groups of people that are centered around some common
ideal or interest. If you do participate in a group, you may find the rules and
procedures restrictive - or you may simply feel that you do not fit in with the
others.
Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits you better than being
with groups of your own peers.
You are serious and sincere about your interests, you do not accept superficial
answers, and you are not easily placated. You want to bring your inspirations
into concrete reality, and you don't mind upsetting some apple carts if
necessary. You become impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new
ideas and take action, and your occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive
behavior often do more harm than good.
You are subject to rash decisions and impulsive actions that may have sudden,
unexpected consequences and undesirable results. Not very adaptable, you could
have considerable tension with people and are likely to have disputes or even
violent fights with others.
Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which you instinctively and habitually
revert to when under stress - a mostly unconscious process and one which you are
apt to overdo because it is so familiar and thus easy for you. The direction you
need to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is
also described.
Your natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively flow along
with whatever is easiest, not clearly analyzing or assessing your situation and
perhaps even trying to escape seeing your situation clearly by indulging in
fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being
unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways you cope with
stress. You also have trouble setting boundaries and saying no.
Your path of development lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity,
becoming more precise, developing technical and practical skills that will
enable you to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of
practical service is also important.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in the way you
think, process information, and communicate. In your interactions with
neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, try to bring out the qualities
described above.
You have a sympathetic understanding of other people and the ability to easily
adapt yourself to them. Your emotional fulfillment is likely to come through
your contact with others and you probably will feel a soul-affinity with many of
them.

Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination
Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive
You have unusual, even eccentric friends, and you are likely to join groups,
communities, organizations, or clubs which promote progressive or unconventional
ideas, social change, or innovation in some form. You are dynamic and creative
in business affairs and in organizations.
Daydreaming, lack of concentration, and inattention to your surroundings can be
problems for you. Your mind tends to wander unless you are using it in an
imaginative, creative way. Dry facts and cold logic hold no appeal for you, and
unless a subject has a colorful or personally inspiring element, you won't stick
with it for long. You have a sensitive, intuitive bent.
You are an intense person, inclined to be wholeheartedly and passionately
involved in whatever your current interest is. You easily go to extremes and you
make more moderate, easy-going souls feel uncomfortable.
You may have unusual charisma and also be profoundly influenced by powerful,
charismatic figures whom you model yourself after. Learning to use personal
power appropriately is an issue for you. Negatively, you can be manipulative and
obsessed with personal aggrandizement. Positively, you can be a potent force for
change, growth, and healing in the world.
You seem to like everyone and have the ability to make contacts with people
easily. Romance may come to you quite suddenly, but your affairs may not be
lasting. You like variety and change your interest in people quickly.
You appear to be somewhat cold toward your loved ones and may find it difficult
to show your affection for them. You also may expect your loved one to live up
to an impossible romantic ideal that he or she is unable to attain, leaving you
disappointed.
Your fantasies are inexhaustible and you have very far-reaching ideas. You are
inclined to make big plans that are way out of your reach and impossible to
follow through. You have to guard against becoming involved with some
ill-considered enterprises.

Chapter 10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group
In this chapter we will discuss characteristics and traits of your generation.
Of course, you may not share all of the characteristics of your generation, but
you are greatly affected by the tone that is set by your generation.
The first topic is "The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group". In
this section we will describe a deeply felt urge, even compulsion, of your age
group. This deeply felt drive comes to the surface with great force and power,
and consequently leaves in its wake considerable upheaval and change. The second
topic is "The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group", that describes the
dreams, fantasies, and spiritual aspirations of your age group. The third and
last topic is "What is New and Different in Your Age Group", which describes
areas in which your age group tends to be innovative, inventive, unusual, and
also where it may be unstable and unreliable.
The characteristics described below may affect a group of people for anywhere
from a few years to about 30 years. There are one or more different astrological
factors described in each of the three sections below.
The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group
You are part of a 20 year period that is often referred to as the "ME"
generation, a generation that has a very proud and self-reliant attitude. You
are a generation that is very concerned with self-development and personal
integrity. Women's rights and minority rights are issues that your generation
has fostered and they reflect your concern with individual respect, integrity,
and honor. Your age group has a deeply felt sense that each person has an equal
right and opportunity to fully develop his or her inner potential.
However, your group also finds it difficult to be part of a team and a strong
egotism makes group efforts difficult; you tend to see the individual as more
important than the group. You also defy authority and often feel that no one has
the right to tell you what to do. The strong movement to refuse drafting into
the military is one example of your age group's strong sense of individual
rights and freedom.
Your age group has popularized the idea of self-development, and has contributed
a great deal to the development of individual potential as well as human rights.
However, there is also a tendency to be rather self-centered; others may wonder
how you can spend so much time developing yourselves and have so little time to
contribute to your families!
The interest in personal development also sometimes manifests as a fascination
with particular individuals and a great deal of hero worship. Every generation,
of course, has lots of idols, but your generation is particularly prone to
needing a specific individual to represent and embody an idea or feeling, and to
serve as a focal point of interest. Perhaps the most extreme example of this is
the concept of the guru that was popularized by your age group.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people who are conservative and moderate in
spiritual aspirations. Your age group tends to avoid speculation on metaphysical
matters, and interest in psychic phenomena is considered very strange and weird
by your age group. There is also a strong sense of right and wrong, and
religious practices tend to emphasize ethics and moral judgment. The
conservative, straight-laced atmosphere generated by your age group is
frustrating to more imaginative types, who consequently rebelled against it.
You were also born during a period that lasted approximately 5 years and is
characterized by an unusually high degree of imagination, intuition, and
sensitivity. You are part of a group of people who are very inspired. Your age
group is rather zealous and enthusiastically rallies behind new visions and
ideals for society. You succeed in bringing a breath of fresh air into the arts
and religions, and you inspire new ideals and goals for nations as well. You are
part of a creative group that can do much to inspire a fresh vision and renewed
hope for others.
What is New and Different in Your Age Group
You are part of a 7 year group of people who are very progressive in business
and practical matters, and implement scientific ideas in practical ways to make
life more comfortable. Home appliances, for example, were improved and marketed
by your age group to a much greater degree than was previously done.
Your age group is also rather sensual and romantic, and is uninhibited in
expressing romantic feelings. Your age group rebelled against repressive
attitudes towards sexuality, and promoted overt expression of sexuality in
movies, music, etc.
