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 are a fiery individual , filled with tremendous passion and zest for life.
You thrive in situations where there is energy, excitement, action, movement,
dynamism and drama. Along with your exuberant vitality and enthusiasm, you have
an acute ability to visualize future possibilities, and an almost childlike
faith in "what could be". Unless you have a vision, an aspiration, or a
wonderful dream to believe in, you are not completely happy. You have a great
sense of the majesty, the grandeur, and the adventure of life but tend to
overlook the magic in small things and everyday life.
You also have a strong urge to express yourself spontaneously and creatively,
without conforming to others ways or conventions. Personal freedom and
independence are very important to you and you resist being "owned" or dictated
to. Secretly you are apt to feel that you are special, charmed, somehow above or
outside the realm of "ordinary" people and mundane life.
You have a strong ego and can be excessively proud, dominating, or concerned
with self. You have a positive, vigorous, active approach to life, and forcing
your intentions and desires upon circumstances feels more natural to you than
flowing with or just allowing life to unfold. Essentially you are very "yang"
(assertive, competitive, outgoing, direct), and the "yin" qualities of passive
acceptance, receptivity, gentleness, and subtlety do not come easily to you. You
inspire others with your generous spirit, your idealism, spark, confidence, and
joie de vivre, but you can also irritate them with your self-centeredness and
your insistence on expressing yourself freely without regard for others' needs
or opinions. You also have trouble being content in the present and would
benefit by learning to consciously pacify your restlessness and developing the
qualities of tranquility and peacefulness.
Although you are energetic and confident, as described above, you also express
yourself with a lot of feeling and sensitivity, as described in greater detail
in the next chapter. You appear to be less cocksure and narcissistic than you
are.

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 are somewhat erratic and constantly looking for something new. You change
your opinions frequently and others never know what you will do. Because you are
easily excitable and unpredictable, others may find it taxing to spend time with
you.
Your pleasant and friendly disposition enables you to come in quick personal
contact with other people. You enjoy social functions and have a harmonious
relationship to your environment.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
In reading the previous chapter and this chapter you will notice that there are
some significant differences between the way you appear to others and how you
are at heart. Your warm, supportive, nurturing side, described in the previous
chapter, can conflict between your freedom-loving side which is described below.
In short, you may feel torn between taking care of others, and "flying free".
You must keep things in balance so that you have enough time and freedom to
explore, travel, and play. Striving for this balance is an unending challenge
for you. As kind and sympathetic as you are, there are limits to the amount of
time and energy you can dedicate to taking care of other people. Those that
really know you understand that you are an adventurer at heart, and personal
commitments (especially when others depend on you) easily become burdensome.
You are a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to
discover and explore new worlds, and to take the untried path rather than the
safe, reliable one. You are an independent soul, freedom-loving, and often very
restless. You need a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement,
change, and meeting new people. A steady routine which offers much in the way of
security but little in the way of space and freedom is odious to you.
To you, life is a journey, an adventure, endlessly interesting and rich with
possibilities, and it may be difficult for you to decide where to focus your
attention and efforts. You probably traveled around and experimented with many
different paths before you settled on a particular career. Or you may go from
one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, you
are very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus, and concentration are
not your strong points. You can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the
burdens and limitations of adult life.
An incurable optimist, you have big dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the
future and are usually pursuing some distant goal. You have a great deal of
faith and trust in life and failures don't crush your spirit. You always bounce
back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. You have a
sporting, playful attitude toward life and are philosophical about your
mistakes. You have the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture,
and you like to theorize and speculate. However, attending to all of the details
and practical requirements of implementing your theories is bothersome to you.
You express yourself in a very open, direct, and straightforward manner and are
often blunt and tactless as well. Because you do not take yourself too
seriously, you may not realize how deeply your candid statements can wound more
sensitive souls. In fact, though you may not realize it, your insensitivity and
lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of your worst
faults.
You do enjoy friendship and camaraderie, but you need freedom also and do not do
well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. You are
quite generous yourself, and heartily dislike pettiness in others. Someone who
shares your ideals, your sense of fun, and your zest for life would be the right
companion for you.
You have a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and you love to perform.
You enjoy being the center of attention and you seek to shine, to excel, and to
be outstanding in some unique way. You are very involved in your own creativity
and self-expression, and take great pleasure in developing and using your
special talents, whether these are artistic, athletic, or intellectual. You have
a strong sense of pride.
Your life is apt to be blessed with more than your share of helpful friends,
fortuitous connections, and doors opening to you at just the right time. Because
you are usually willing to share and to give back to others in a generous way,
you continue to generate successes in your life no matter how unfortunate
prevailing circumstances are. Beware, however, of becoming an opportunist.
Sensitive and imaginative, you are attracted to artistic and creative pursuits
and to mysticism. You are impressionable and receptive, and you often have
experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. You have an
abundance of dreams, visions, and longings, but do not always have the
concentrated will and stamina to make them concrete. Gentle, idealistic, and
peace-loving, you often seek to avoid the hard realities of life. You have an
ethereal quality about you.
You have a strong need for intellectual contacts and associations and like to
share your intellectual interests with others. This could be in meetings or by
joining various clubs and organizations.
You are somewhat excitable and quickly aroused. You could be a little
self-centered, but at the same time also magnetic. You like to flirt and tend to
fall in love at first sight, but then transfer your affections to someone else
for no apparent reason.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
You have good mental concentration and the ability to become completely immersed
in your work. You seem to know things at an instinctive, nonverbal level and
prefer learning through direct experience or apprenticeship rather than
vicariously via books or lectures. You have mechanical ability and work well
with your hands. You could become adept at sculpture, pottery, carpentry,
stained glass, or anything that involves doing and making things manually.
Biology (and related fields such as medicine) interests you as well. You also
have an instinctive rapport with animals, and may feel you relate better to them
than to people! You tend to become narrowly focused upon your own specialized
interests and may not have much to say or communicate outside that field.
You enjoy puzzles and other games that challenge you intellectually. You like to
show off your verbal or intellectual skills and to use your mind creatively.
Writing, dramatic speaking or some other display of your creative intelligence
appeals to you.
You appreciate aesthetics and have a fine sense of form, design, and beauty. You
could develop great 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 a talent for
assuaging strain in the relationship of two other people. Your sense of humor,
tact, and personal charm are a great benefit to you in any work with people on a
one-to-one level.
Although your tact was commented on above, you can also be very direct, even
brutally frank, in the way you communicate, as mentioned below.
You tend to seesaw between holding your tongue and lashing out. This verbal
self-control seems to create internal tension, so that when you finally do speak
your mind, there is quite a bit of resentment or energy behind your words.
Learning to state an opinion without making it an attack is important. When out
of balance you are prone to frequent, irritating little accidents such as
cutting your fingers, getting burned, etc.
You come across as an intellectual and your thinking more or less is connected
with words. You have a feeling for languages and could do well as a writer or in
a position involving more than one language. You also may enjoy giving lectures.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
Emotional outbursts are frequent with you due to your fiery temper and emotional
impulsiveness. You express yourself very directly and honestly and no one has to
guess what your true feelings are. However, you dislike showing any personal
weaknesses or needs for support, comfort, and nurturing. You are often impatient
with yourself and with others. You abhor emotional dependency and dislike
"complainers".
You inspire others to take positive action in their lives by your own enthusiasm
and eagerness to meet life's challenges, and are attracted to people who are
adventurous, courageous, and independent. You are rather bossy, but you do not
like to be with people that you can boss around too much. You enjoy a good fight
sometimes. Relationships built upon mutual respect and a good deal of emotional
freedom are ideal for you.
You become very cross if you do not have enough vigorous physical activity. You
will feel your best if you "do battle" on the tennis or racquetball court (or
engage in some other competitive sport) frequently.
You work well with the public and have an instinct for what the public wants and
will respond to. Having a "nest" is not especially important to you, and you may
invest more of your emotional energy into your career or public life than in
your private life. Providing for and caring for others in a professional
capacity is very likely.
Generally sunny and optimistic yourself, you have a cheering effect on those
around you. You like and need people, and others genuinely like you too. You
enjoy a wide circle of friends who are like family to you. Entertaining,
partying, social activities, and fellowship are essential ingredients for your
emotional well-being.
There is another side to you as well, a rather introverted, self-contained, even
pessimistic side which tempers your good cheer and generosity, as discussed
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.
The beauty and harmony of your surroundings has a very powerful effect on your
emotions. You are very sensitive and cannot stand to be in an atmosphere where
there is discord or dissonance. Gentle, kindhearted, and peace-loving, you will
give or sacrifice much in order to avoid a fight and to "make everyone happy".
Your intimate relationships and close personal relationships are often intense,
highly-charged, and difficult, as they trigger deep emotional responses in you
that have more to do with unsatisfied hungers and unmet childhood needs than
with the present situation. You may feel like a voracious, bottomless pit when
it comes to nurturing and emotional reassurance, and your neediness often drives
others away. When you do let yourself feel close to another human being, painful
long-buried feelings bubble to the surface as well perhaps grief at the losses
you suffered, or anger at the neglect or hurt you endured. You may also reenact
these situations in your present day relationships, in an unconscious effort to
resolve and heal those old issues. You will do a lot of clearing and cleansing,
if you can listen to what your feelings are telling you. If not, you will simply
have a tumultuous, passionate, and stormy emotional life.
You have an instinctive understanding of other people and are very sympathetic
toward them. Relationships are very important to you, and you are likely to feel
a strong inner bond with many of your friends.
You are definitely not one to wear your heart on your sleeve. You care very much
about others' opinions and crave love and appreciation as much as anyone, but
one would never know it from your reserved and seemingly detached appearance.
Casual, superficial relationships don't interest you at all. You are cautious
and serious about love and really desire a deep, genuine, lasting love. You are
old-fashioned about courtship and love, and will remain faithful to your loved
one in good times and in bad.
You may be attracted to persons older than yourself, someone who is emotionally
mature and reliable and who can provide the security you desire.
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 are intensely amorous and attractive to the opposite sex, and are not
inclined to friendly platonic relationships. There is much tension in your love
life - often because you put your desires ahead of your partner's, and are
impatient about having your love needs satisfied. The whole arena of love,
romance, and sex is endlessly fascinating for you and you are not happy without
a love partner. You can "burn yourself out" by pouring so much of your energy
into romance.
Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic relationships begin with
a sudden electric attraction, but they often end abruptly, and you may be in and
out of love frequently - especially in your younger years. You crave emotional
excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so you may avoid making firm
personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms of love and relationships
appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique, creative, or unstable people.
You tend to think a lot about art and beauty as well as matters of love and are
content with the way things are in your life. You are comfortable in talking to
someone about your feelings toward them. You also could find artistic endeavors
very rewarding.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You have a warrior's attitude - decisive, courageous, and bold. You tend to
always want to DO something, even when waiting for an appropriate time or not
doing something (simply letting things alone to resolve themselves) would
actually be more efficient and effective. You absolutely cannot tolerate being
passive or even patient about getting what you want. You feel that it is up to
you to take the initiative and you go after your goal or desire very
aggressively.
You are also self-reliant, do not depend on others to do things for you or help
you along, and you are often irritated when other people offer advice or
direction. Cooperation rarely comes easily to you. You are willful and can be
quite oblivious to others' desires or feelings when you are pursuing something
you want. You are highly competitive, enjoy a challenge or a good fight, and may
be downright pugnacious at times. Abounding in energy and enthusiasm at the
start of a new venture, you need a very positive response and encouragement to
sustain your interest in it. If a project isn't successful rather quickly, you
are apt to drop it and move on to something else, rather than rework or refine
it. The desire to blaze a trail, to do things in a new way - YOUR way - is very
strong in you. You can discover, invent, and initiate new things, but are
impatient and may lack the stamina and perseverance needed to complete a
long-term project.
You are likely to be known for your drive, energy, ambition, and competitive
spirit. A successful career based on your ability to take initiative, be a
leader, or excel in physical strength and prowess is likely. You most definitely
want to be a winner and will work hard to achieve that.
You seek out risky and even dangerous activities, primarily for the excitement
they provide. Impulsive, daring, impatient, and unconventional, you cannot sit
still for very long and you have no capacity for "doing things as they have
always been done". You are a defiant and independent person who can go it alone
if need be. You can be extremely bossy and pushy and are prone to sudden,
erratic outbursts, especially when you have to wait for what you want. Courage
and a taste for the unorthodox or outrageous are your strengths.
You are apt to receive much publicity and popularity through your professional
pursuits, for you have a way of winning the hearts and trust of many people. You
have an instinct for what the masses of people will respond to emotionally, and
this feeling-sense of what other people want enables you to succeed in sales,
promotion, and so on. Your career could also involve protecting and caring for
people, nurturing, "mothering" others in some capacity.
Deep, compelling drives which you do not entirely understand are apt to be the
source of your rather extraordinary ambitions. You may find that a drive for
dominance, power, and control arises out of the rather problematic and intense
relationship you had with one or both of your parents. If you are willing to
delve deeply into your own fears and inner life, clearing away much of the
conditioning of your earliest years, you will indeed discover tremendous inner
resources which can be used to fuel your rise in the world.
You persevere through numerous obstacles, frustrations, delays, and setbacks in
order to attain your ambitions in life. Sometimes it may feel as if you're
pushing a boulder uphill. Try to avoid bitterness or comparing your lot to
others', as these could weaken your resolve.
You have a spiritual gift or vocation which colors your personal ambitions and
drive for achievement. Helping people or serving the Whole is part of your role
in life. Music, the arts, entertainment, and/or using imagery, visualization, or
imagination can be aspects of your work in the world, also.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
Your strength lies in your ability to be innovative, open to new progressive
concepts, willing to experiment and to reject customs and traditions when they
cease to serve any positive function in the present. Also, you have an expansive
view of the world, one that includes humanity and not only your own small,
personal circle.
You are a very sociable person, and you need to reach out and communicate with
many different people. You are interested in what others can teach you and are
drawn to those with more knowledge or breadth of experience than yourself. You
expect a high level of integrity and sincerity from others and you do not
tolerate pettiness or hypocrisy in your close friends or marriage partner.
You also need freedom and want a partner who will support your need to keep
learning and growing, who will not limit you or set too many boundaries. Your
marriage is likely to be very satisfying and rich.
Your sensitivity to the larger social context of a project gives you the
perspective to discern good opportunities and attract successful pursuits. You
are likely to achieve a high level of success in your career or business.
You have a great, wide-open sense of possibilities which allows extraordinary,
even miraculous events to come into your life. A sense of divine grace, of being
part of the flow of the universe, of communing with celestial realms or Beings,
are all very natural to you. At the same time, you're not apt to go to extremes
or lose your sense of perspective. You are also quite altruistic and giving, and
ready to aid less fortunate people. A sense of gratitude and spiritual wealth is
one of your finest attributes.
You have a jovial and friendly manner along with a sound emotional and mental
disposition. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious and you probably enjoy many
happy relationships as well as a happy marriage and family life.
You have a happy disposition along with an optimistic and positive outlook on
life. You plan your objectives in a clear-cut fashion and have the ability to
succeed. Admiration and success is important to you, and you can achieve great
heights in any field.
You have the ability to think constructively and to mentally program yourself to
be successful. Always looking for ways to broaden your understanding, you are a
good critic and have sound judgment. You could do well as an orator or speaker.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You fear becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance yourself
or deny your needs for closeness and intimacy so that you won't be vulnerable to
rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, you may cling excessively or need
constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense
of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important
tasks for you.
You may have nebulous but ever-present guilts and fears that are difficult to
pinpoint or eradicate. It's as if you don't trust Life itself, and are always
seeking ways to defend yourself from its dangers and its unknowns. You must
learn to overcome your ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see
the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.
Once you decide what you want to do, you will pursue it tenaciously and, if
necessary, sacrifice a great deal for your deeply felt convictions. This trait
tends to make you feel a little out of step with others. You take things a
little more seriously and have an inclination to be a bit of a fanatic, although
probably not flamboyantly so, so others may not know how deeply you feel and how
driven you are about the things that are important to you. You have a deep inner
resolve and are willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful
to you, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.
You are likely to find it hard to make decisions, looking forward to the future
with great enthusiasm on one hand, but afraid of misjudgments on the other.
Never quite sure about anything, you may withdraw from situations and people
periodically.
Basically shy, you tend to be somewhat inhibited in love and may feel
uncomfortable or awkward expressing your love for someone. You long for love and
dream about love, but also are inclined to torment yourself because of a seeming
lack of affection.
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.
It is easy for you to become distracted from your purpose by the multitude of
interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to you. You need to
develop single mindedness and focus. Until you direct your attention to some of
the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really
important to me and essential to my happiness?", you are apt to dabble, to
scatter your energies in many directions engaging in activities which are
entertaining but which are ultimately not fruitful or nourishing.
Having an overall vision for your life and aligning your daily activities so
that they support rather than detract from your larger purpose, is a significant
step in your unfoldment.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in your work and
in your relations with co-workers, employers, and employees. Integrating the
qualities described above into your work and daily routine will lead to greater
satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.
The specific habits which are likely to hold you back, or which you are prone to
overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:
Rigid self-control which overly restricts your ability to freely express
yourself or explore possibilities, excessive concern with work, duty and
security, fearfulness, judgmental attitude towards self or other people, feeling
alone and cut off from sources of nourishment outside of the self. Try to learn
to relax and recognize that everything is not your responsibility.

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.
Your creative self-expression has a very imaginative quality, and you have a
particular affinity for drama, theater, film, and other artistic mediums in
which creative fantasy plays a major role.
In love and romance, also, you often have glamorous fantasies that have little
to do with reality.
There was much that was hidden or secret in your childhood home, and you
absorbed a sense of shame or a feeling that you need to hide and protect who you
are from others. One of your parents had an especially intense bond to you and
profoundly influenced you, perhaps dominated or controlled you in subtle ways.
Unlocking the secrets of the past, and learning to be intimate and close to
others without controlling or being controlled are issues for you.
Because of fluctuating energy, you could find it difficult to maintain your
position in life. At times you may want to withdraw from others and prefer
solitude. You probably find working together with others not very rewarding.
Your goals tend to be somewhat confused and unrealistic and because of this, you
could be victimized by others without being aware of it. But at times you also
may be the perpetrator, hiding the truth from others and trying to deceive them.
Your feelings and emotions are directly tied to your ego; if you achieve status,
honor and prestige, you function well, but if your ambitions are thwarted, you
may feel depressed and inhibited. Your mother probably had a strong influence on
your life's work.

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 12 year group of people who are deeply interested in personal
relationships. Your age group has a deeply-rooted yearning to see people
relating and communicating with each other effectively and harmoniously. There
is little egotism and a willingness to hear the other person's side of the story
and a readiness to compromise and arbitrate different points of view. In fact,
the need for harmonious, peaceful relationships is so strong that there is a
tendency to overlook real differences and to focus only on the similarities in
an attempt to bring different parties into harmony with each other.
Interest in psychology and sociology is high in your age group. There is a
tremendous heightening of awareness of social skills. Your age group will
experiment with different marriage styles, family relationships, and even
business relationships in an attempt to bring fair treatment and effective
communication between people. Interest and appreciation for other cultures is
also strong, and your age group will work hard to preserve and support the
cultural heritage of all ethnic groups.
Your strong yearning for equitable and harmonious relationships is also
reflected in major advancements in trade agreements, arms control, and
international cooperation that are designed and implemented by your generation.
These agreements and policies foster a much safer and more cooperative
environment for all, although there is also a tendency for greedy individuals to
take advantage of the conciliatory atmosphere and twist situations to their own
ends.
In short, you are part of a generation of individuals who are deeply interested
in other people; you are a humanistic and humanitarian group. You will struggle
and experiment with personal relationships, and forge new models for how people
can relate as friends, family members, and members of nations as well.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people that are extremely idealistic and
farsighted in their dreams. Your age group is very liberal and expansive in
outlook, and consequently churches become much more flexible and more eclectic
in their approach during your life time. Religions that do not adapt to the
broad-minded attitude of your age group simply are unable to attract very much
interest and involvement from you.
A great deal of metaphysical musing and speculation is evident in your age
group, and there is a very strong interest in all manner of psychic phenomena,
UFO's, prophecy, etc. This interest will open many new doors and insights, but
will also often lead to a great deal of fantasizing and speculation that is
taken more seriously than it should be.
The entire generation to which you belong has tremendous opportunities for
spiritual rebirth and awakening. This will not be forced upon you or
precipitated by unavoidable events, rather it comes from an inner yearning and a
natural propensity to seek the depths.
What is New and Different in Your Age Group
You are part of a 7 year group of people who strive for greater equality in
relationships. You treat parents, children, and spouses much more like friends
and equals than other generations do, and many of you will experiment with
alternative marriage styles that allow for greater freedom and equality in
relationships.
