The interpretation of your astrology chart begins on the following page.
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.
You value order and security in your life and prefer dealing with known
quantities, following clearly defined guidelines in order to achieve your aims.
Reason rather than emotion rules you, and you think in clear, practical,
no-nonsense terms. You are uncomfortable with ambiguity, emotional impulsiveness
or extremism, and things which cannot be explained in rational terms. Even
spiritual or mystical realms, if you have any interest in such things at all,
must have either some scientific basis or be proven to you through your own
experience and practice.
You think a situation through thoroughly before deciding upon a course of
action, assessing and analyzing the matter carefully, and can be relied upon to
come to a fair, reasonable, and sensible solution to whatever confronts you.
You are able to handle practical matters very efficiently, using both deductive
reasoning ability and manual skill. However, it is easy for you to become overly
"adult" and to lose touch with the spontaneous, playful, vibrant, and
childlike side of yourself. You can become too organized and controlled, not
allowing your emotions or creative, playful impulses full expression, and a
certain dryness or emptiness will result. You need to learn to appreciate a
certain degree of "creative chaos"!
You are likely to be overly humble or unsure of yourself and to look to others
for inspiration, motivation, reinforcement, and approval. Tending to be somewhat
passive, you must learn how to take initiative and motivate yourself.
A lack of warmth (either physically, emotionally, or both) may be evident in
you, which can show itself physically as a low energy level, paleness and lack
of color in the skin, or a tendency to be easily chilled, and emotionally as a
marked coolness or aloofness with little spiritedness, joyfulness, or enthusiasm
for living. Eating warming, spicy foods, living in a warm, sunny place, and
using fire in your daily life (lighting candles, using a wood stove or fireplace
for heat) can help balance you. Also, spending time with warm, cheerful,
positive-minded people and developing a philosophy based on spiritual optimism
can stir up your own zest of life.
Positively, you are unlikely to be egocentric and have a capacity for great
patience and peacefulness.
You have difficulty dealing with your own and others' emotions. Feelings and the
emotional reality of a situation are often ignored or discounted by you and you
may thus seem insensitive or uncaring to others. Deep emotional rapport,
empathy, compassion, and sensitivity to the feelings of others is something that
you need to develop, and will be in more evidence later in life rather than in
your youth.
Though you may appear emotionally self-sufficient or above it all, your denied
feelings can result in physical problems, so it is wise and important for you to
learn to acknowledge and express all of your emotions.
You may also find that you crave a great deal of liquid, or to live near bodies
of water, as a way to gain balance.

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 are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen
to varying viewpoints, and ready to see the other side of an issue. Even if you
strongly disagree with someone, you will try to find points of similarity and
agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. You often avoid taking an
extreme or one-sided stance on anything. You have a strong desire for harmonious
and pleasant relationships, and express a spirit of cooperation, compromise,
friendship, and fairness. You very much want to be liked and because of your
need for approval and acceptance, you are easily influenced by others' opinions,
especially when young. You so much want to please that often you will suppress
your own intense or unpleasant feelings in order not to offend others. Sometimes
your politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.
Your need to create harmony extends to your physical environment and personal
appearance as well. You appreciate beauty and have a natural sense of balance,
symmetry, and proportion. You do everything in good taste, with a sense of style
and art. From your home furnishings to your choice of clothing, everything must
be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.
You also feel that relationships are an art, one that especially interests you
and one that you are usually quite skilled at, for you possess tact and acute
awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to you and finding the
right person to share your life with is extremely important. Being part of a
close couple seems natural to you - you are not an independent loner. Having a
partner increases your self-confidence. You do have a tendency, however, to
become overly dependent on your partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly
defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being
yourself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for you.
Others see you as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person.
Though there may be much more to you, this is the sort of face you show to the
world. You possess personal charm and an understated, noncombative manner. Your
motto could be "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" for
you usually take a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong,
forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.
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.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Although you seem accommodating, obliging, amiable, and willing to compromise
(as described in the previous chapter), you can also be enormously stubborn and
immovable, as discussed below. You have such a pleasant demeanor that you are
able to use a combination of charm and bullying to work things out the way you
want them to. You are an excellent negotiator.
You are a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion,
dedication, endurance, and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick
with things is one of your greatest assets. Once your course is set, you pursue
it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway
you from your purpose.
You have a very practical nature and want to see concrete, tangible results for
your efforts, and you are not one for spinning wild dreams that are unlikely to
come into fruition. Most of your "wild dreams" have to do with
material achievements, well-being, and security, for you have a great love of
the physical world and you want to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though
you will work long and persistently, you also have a strong sensual and
comfort-loving side, and you want to enjoy what you have worked for. In fact,
you can be enormously lazy at times and have a tendency to overindulge in good
food and other earthly pleasures. You also love the beauty of the natural world
and probably prefer a serene country setting rather than an urban life style.
At heart your needs are simple and you are easy to please. You have a strong
desire for security, stability, and peace, and will rarely make changes unless
you are forced to do so. You are not very demanding emotionally, though you do
crave lots of physical closeness and affection. Because of your faithfulness,
emotional steadiness, and gentle strength, others often depend upon you for
support. Though you hate upheaval and sudden changes, you usually maintain your
poise and equanimity. You also have an innate sense of harmonizing with nature,
allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time, and the patience to
nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or some creative
project. You make an excellent mother or father, especially if you follow your
instincts more often than "the experts".
You have three major faults: one is your bullheaded obstinacy. The second is
your unwillingness to deviate from your safe, predictable routine. And the third
is your tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative,
speculative, and fanciful - in other words, you lack the ability to play with
ideas and possibilities, to open your mind to the new.
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.
The above description of you is so deeply ingrained that you have little
objectivity and often little appreciation for other, different ways of
approaching life. You tend to be one-sided. There is little ambiguity in your
makeup and you generally know what you want and what will make you happy.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
Your mind operates in a very deliberate and methodical manner and you dislike
being rushed or forced to give an opinion before you have thoroughly ruminated
and digested an idea. You are also difficult to influence once your mind is made
up.
Though slower to grasp new concepts or learn new skills, you are patient and
persevering and, in fact, often become quite adept at whatever you put your mind
and hand to, for you are willing to devote much time and attention to it. You
succeed not so much because of your mental brilliance, but because you have the
ability to concentrate and follow a project through to its completion. You have
an aptitude for singing or drawing.
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 appreciate aesthetics and have a fine sense of form, design, and beauty. You
could develop considerable technical skill as an artist, designer, craftsman, or
creative writer. You could also sell objects of beauty - artistic products,
cosmetics, jewelry, etc.
You have the ability to please and harmonize well with others and tend to
ameliorate relationships between people. Your sense of humor, tact, and personal
charm are of great benefit to you in any work with people on a one-to-one level.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
You do not appear to be an intensely emotional or sentimental person, and you
are often unaware of your own or other people's deeper feelings and emotional
needs. Tears and tantrums bewilder you and make you very uncomfortable. You
would rather settle differences by talking things out reasonably and rationally,
but you tend to ignore or poke fun at any attempt to probe your own or others'
inner depths.
You avoid heavy, demanding emotional involvement and are wary of making personal
commitments.
You need plenty of mental stimulation and you feel close to people with whom you
can share thoughts and mental interests. Conversation is very important to you.
The strong, silent type of partner is not for you.
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 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.
In addition to your rather introverted, serious, or self-contained side, you
have a wild streak and urge for emotional freedom that breaks through
erratically. You crave both stability and excitement, and the conflict between
these two impulses can make you rather tense and irritable. However, they can
also balance one another. Your more free and unpredictable side will now be
described.
You crave excitement, change, and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or
lifestyle that offers little in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable,
spontaneous, and enthusiastic about anything new, you may be perceived by others
as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. It is not easy for
you to make or keep commitments, since you don't know how you will be feeling
from one day to the next. Emotional freedom is very important to you. Your
domestic life can be very unstable -but you like it that way.
In love, you are steadfast and loyal, especially if you have a warm,
demonstrative partner. You are very sensually oriented and need lots of touching
and physical affection. You enjoy being pampered with a good meal, loving
massage, or other sensual delights. You are a wonderful lover, very attentive to
the comfort and enjoyment of the one you love. You are tremendously responsive
to beauty and physical appearances, and the physical attractiveness of your
partner is very important to you.
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 share freely whatever you have, and your friends know they can always count
on your generosity and support, both emotional and material. Your good-hearted
acceptance and tolerance of others' foibles goes a long way in maintaining
harmony in your relationships. You also have a lazy streak and sometimes avoid
confronting difficult issues in relationships simply because it seems like too
much trouble and too petty. You like to socialize and will use any excuse to
celebrate with friends. You cannot tolerate too much restriction by your love
partner, and encourage your partner's freedom as well.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You seesaw between being too pushy, confrontational, and insistent on doing
things your way, and being too eager to please, without a clear, definite goal
of your own. You strive for a balance between acting independently and
assertively - and working cooperatively and interdependently with others. You
may feel frustrated at times that you cannot simply do what YOU want to, that
you must always accommodate the needs and desires of others. Or you may feel
hesitant to act in a positive, assertive manner if you do not have the support
and approval of other people. Either way, you are not a loner. You achieve your
goals by collaborating and joining forces with others, by being a team player.
You are very concerned with the concept of fairness and become quite indignant
and vocal if you sense someone is being taken advantage of. You avoid extremism
and favor a balanced, moderate approach to living. You are unlikely to push
yourself too hard or to become fanatically driven to reach your goals.
Asserting yourself and being direct and forceful about what you want is very
often difficult for you. Though you may have a great deal of energy and drive,
you lack confidence or simply the desire to put yourself and your interests
first. Positively you can be very unselfish, working more on behalf of others
rather than for yourself.
You deny your own desires and needs too much, however, and you are likely to
secretly become very angry, which will sabotage your finest efforts.
You are capable of overcoming tremendous odds, and of enormous self-discipline
and focus. When you set your sights on achieving something or are presented with
a thorny challenge, it is your capacity for eliminating the superfluous, getting
along with very little, and riding through tough times that enables you to
triumph eventually.
You have noble aspirations and grand plans for yourself. Combining personal
goals with humanitarian concerns, philanthropy, and an interest in social
betterment, you are apt to be quite successful and influential in your
community. You are suited to large, expansive enterprises and dealing with
wealth.
Your attunement to the intangible or unseen world is very strong. Thus, your
drive and ambitions in life are apt to be colored by your subtle awareness, your
mystical or intuitive sensitivity. Imagination, "make believe",
creative fantasy, and the ability to visualize may be aspects of your career,
also. You have the ability to "channel" healing or inspirational
messages.
Your profession is apt to be related to children, women, consulting, nourishing,
or to the use of your nurturing, emotional, childlike qualities in appealing to
the public in some way. You do well in any business that involves responding to
people's emotional needs and tastes.
Your profession may be unusual, very innovative and progressive, or outside the
"mainstream", providing alternative services or products. A certain
uneven, erratic quality characterizes your career and rise in the professional
arena. Sudden changes of fortune, unexpected upsets, and twists of fate are
likely.
You are mentally alert and can explain your position clearly and unambiguously
so that others can understand it. Always ready for action, you have courage and
determination and the ability to retaliate in the proper manner.
You have a very harmonious personality and are likely to be loved by everyone.
You seem to radiate love and understanding. You have a sense of beauty,
appreciate art, and like beautiful surroundings.
You know how to discipline yourself and face difficulties with great courage. It
may take time, energy and dedication for you to achieve your goals; and when you
meet defeat, you rise above it and continue on your way.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
You cannot tolerate smallness or pettiness in any form, and you have a tendency
to exaggerate. Also, you have a wonderful sense of drama! You must live boldly
and heroically. Otherwise you feel you are simply existing and wasting your
talents.
The desire for personal recognition - or even Fame - and a need to do something
you feel really proud of, motivate you strongly. You have an unusual capacity
for fun and playfulness also.
Your career or contribution to the world at large is likely to touch many
people's lives in a very positive, helpful way. You aim high and have an innate
confidence and trust both in your own abilities and in life in general, which
enables you to go far. You want to do something BIG with your life, and you
attract the support you need to do so, for your aims are not solely for your own
personal benefit. You want to give something back to the world, or to improve
others' lives as well as your own.
You have an unusually expansive, far-reaching outlook on life. At times the
everyday routine is far too dull and boring to you, and you are inclined to
travel, daydream, fantasize, or philosophize on a grand scale.
Optimistic and enthusiastic, you have a positive outlook on life. You are
convincing and appear like someone who is used to getting the desired results.
This, combined with your competitive and enterprising nature, makes you a good
leader or manager.
It is easy for you to gain people's trust and confidence and you make a good
companion. You seem to be looked upon by others as lucky and have the ability to
enjoy life to the fullest, but also should beware of developing a weight
problem.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You have a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention
to detail. You are often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist
that you discourage yourself or others from even attempting something that won't
be done exactly the way you know it should be done.
You frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. You may be something
of a hypochondriac also. You must learn that you do not have to rationally
understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax your
unnecessarily high or strict standards.
You are very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with your duty, your
public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. You
understand the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish
anything substantial and you're capable of much self-discipline and patience
once you set your sights on a goal.
But you are very judgmental and hard on yourself if you fail to attain success,
and you can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world doesn't recognize your
efforts.
You seesaw between playing it safe, and doing something unique and original,
between self-control and letting loose, between being a responsible adult and a
rebellious adolescent, between what you have to or should do and what your
spontaneous impulses tell you. All of this creates enormous inner tension as
well as friction with people in your environment. You may, for instance,
bitterly resent the government or authority figures who "crush your
individuality", and yet ignore your obligations and responsibilities, thus
ensuring that they will come down on you. Learning to give each side its due is
an ongoing challenge for you.
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.
You are capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and
steady on your path, but when under stress you become downright obstinate and
implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change
is. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what you have,
you are apt to ignore the subtle signals you receive about needing to do
something differently which often leads to some sort of crisis.
You need to learn the limits of your ability to control life, and to accept and
even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow new life and
growth to happen. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for you. You
also need to develop a balanced attitude toward your appetites and desires, as
you tend to overindulge and/or deny yourself excessively.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in your immediate,
direct encounters with others. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within
you between acting spontaneously and being true to yourself versus modifying
yourself or your behavior to suit others. You seesaw between being inordinately
concerned with self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others'
needs, rights, or opinions about you. Learning to act authentically and
forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is your task.
The specific habits which are likely to hold you back, or which you are prone to
overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:
Excessive thinking, rationalizing, talking, and overuse or misuse of your
intellectual abilities, as well as dissipating your energy in trivial
activities.
Being self-indulgent, relying on the generosity or affection of others too much,
laziness, making personal love relationships and social life more important than
anything else in your life, pursuing superficial pleasures.

Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination Areas Where You Are Creative,
Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive
Your childhood or your relationship with your parents was unsettling or unstable
in some way, so that you may never have felt that you had firm ground beneath
your feet. One of your parents may have been unusual, eccentric, or an
inconstant influence in your life. Abrupt changes in location or in family
relationships may have made you feel insecure, but positively you were given
more freedom and less pressure to conform to conventions, which enables you to
be more of an individual and less tethered to restrictive ideas of how one
"should" behave, feel, or live.
You are a very idealistic person, and you want to see your ideals, hopes, and
dreams made concrete and real in the everyday world. You are driven to put your
ideals into action.
When young you may be rather aimless or confused about your place in the world.
In early adult life it is likely that you struggle to find ways to express your
imagination, fantasies, and ideals in your career. Work that involves
compassionate service (such as medicine or the ministry) may be your calling. If
you lack personal integrity and honesty, you quickly go to the opposite extreme
and you can con others through dishonesty and trickery. Music, art, film-making
or entertainment are also areas in which you are well-suited.
You have strong philosophical views and there are times in your life when you
passionately crusade for a cause that you deem noble and of utmost importance.
Although your intentions are good, you are not as objective as you think you
are, and your views are more colored by personal experiences and concerns than
you realize. Nevertheless, you can also be instrumental in bringing about
positive change if you can avoid being dogmatic. Also, you may radically change
or revise your own personal beliefs, even your most cherished convictions, many
times during your life.
Your energy and physical vitality may not be as great as it could be. You seem
to tire easily and have a tendency toward idleness or drifting. You also may
have to fight the temptation of becoming involved in some corrupt or dishonest
ventures.
You have a tendency to exaggerate and blow things out of proportion and always
seem to think badly of others. Confused over the motives of others, you must
take care not to be victimized while at the same time you have to avoid
victimizing others.
You tend to dream of good fortune and success without seeing the world around
you too clearly. You have a strong desire to gain success, but are reluctant to
expend any effort toward achieving it, resulting in frequent disappointments.
You feel most comfortable in grandiose surrounding and are likely to seek
associations with rich people. You seem to have an extraordinary and unusual
desire for possessions and wealth, and strive to attain success, excellence or
preeminence in some way.
You are highly sensitive to the world around you and tend to be easily
influenced by others. You are likely to experience your emotions very profoundly
and intense and could have a very rich dream life with the possibility of
precognitive dreams.

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 25 year group of people who have strong feelings for home and
country. You are a sentimental group, and feel deeply attached to your family
and your country. You cling to the familiar, are distrustful and fearful of
different cultures, and consequently a great deal of racial and ethnic prejudice
is common among your age group.
Your need for closeness and togetherness runs very deep and causes you to bond
closely to family members and old friends, and also makes you prone to be
involved in mass movements and group activities because they feed your largely
subconscious need for acceptance and support by others. Unfortunately, your age
group is easily carried away by a group frenzy and many of you often lack the
integrity or courage to think and act in an independent and rational way.
Your generation is very emotional and tenderhearted. Many of your group
sacrificed a great deal to help your children or other family members, while
other generations are unwilling to give as much as you have. Your tender
feelings and regard for the well-being of others can spur your age group to make
contributions towards the feeding of the hungry, care for the neglected, and
support for the needy, particularly children and mothers. You are a group of
people with a strong heart and a helpful hand. Many of you have parents and/or
children who are not nearly as supportive and helpful; many of your
contributions are not completely appreciated or even go unnoticed.
You were also born during a period that lasted approximately 5 years and is
characterized by a very dynamic and competitive spirit. From your age group come
many reformers and dynamic personalities who introduce fundamental changes in
every area of life, whether it be science, politics, etc. You are part of a
dynamic wave of highly spirited individuals who are very progressive. You have
the opportunity to be part of efforts to introduce a great deal of reform, most
of which will be positive and constructive.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people that have a very vivid and colorful
imagination. A love of color, fashion, and drama is very strong. Your generation
gave tremendous impetus and growth to Hollywood movies and other spectacular
arts. Most people of your age group have many fantasies and naive, starry-eyed
ideas about movie stars and other idols. Needless to say, this tendency to
idolize someone can lead to big disappointments and those of you who married
early in life projected your fantasies on your spouse, and had to gradually face
the realities as you matured.
What is New and
Different in Your Age Group
You are part of a 7 year group of people who are very creative in the arts,
music, literature, and philosophy. Your age group draws upon some new
inspirations and has a talent for weaving many seemingly disparate styles into a
new, refreshing synthesis. Much of the creative inspiration of your period is
very refined and sensitive, and some of the greatest artistic and literary works
of your generation will receive full recognition only after many decades have
passed. You are a group that is primarily concerned with the quality of your
creative endeavor rather than its distribution and marketing.
