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.
Your life is apt to be full of emotional extremes, turbulence, joy and sorrow,
arising out of your own passionate nature and unpredictability. You are
impulsive and temperamental. For you, everything is intensely personal and
colored by emotion. You may have difficulty viewing a situation from a detached,
impartial or rational perspective, and you have little inclination to structure
and order your life. However, developing self-discipline, organization, and
focus is essential. Otherwise you will be prone to tremendous moodiness,
alternating between high inspiration and despondency.
At times you feel much internal pressure, for you have two strong impulses which
can be in conflict with one another. The desire for independence and freedom,
the need for self expression and ego recognition, and an urge to leave the past
behind in order to propel yourself into new experiences may be at odds with
other, equally strong needs: attachments to people and to the familiar, a
compelling urge for emotional closeness and union, and a desire for security.
Balancing these two drives is a significant challenge for you.
Even though your life is less even and perhaps less stable than others', most
likely you would not change it, for you are very alive, sensitive, and
responsive to the ever-changing, dynamic quality of life.

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 very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know
well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth,
sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When you want something
you go after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and you
usually get it.
You are not a person who lives lightly or superficially. You want to live
passionately and intensely and are not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing
the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. You function well in crisis
situations and often seek them out, for you enjoy the feeling of living at full
capacity.
You are very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken
feelings and hidden motives. You usually have strong, immediate gut reactions,
either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. You approach life very
instinctively and are not always fully conscious of why you feel or act as you
do. You also have a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and
a nonverbal kind of rapport with them.
In relation to others, you are rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until
you get to know and trust them - and trust doesn't come easily to you. When you
commit yourself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, you are intensely
loyal and devoted to them and you also expect the same kind of unwavering,
undying loyalty in return. If you are ever betrayed by someone you care deeply
for, you are capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as you once
loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, you are intensely involved and often
jealously attached to whatever you care about, be it person, idea, or cause.
There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in you.
Because of your natural reserve, others may see you as something of an enigma.
You are quite self-protective and often defensive. You are also very magnetic,
especially to members of the opposite sex.
You appear to have a very honorable and generous attitude toward others, as if
you have their best interests at heart. Because to others you seem tolerant,
understanding, or even wise, they may also turn to you for counsel.
You seem like a loner or isolationist at times, and it may be difficult to get
to know you or form a close friendship with you. To others, you may appear
standoffish, as if you judge them from afar.
At times your feisty spirit, aggressiveness, and a too-forceful approach get you
into trouble. You tend to take offense when none was intended. you may be viewed
as a troublemaker, an upstart, or an egotist with little concern for others.
Moderate your temper to avoid constant irritation with those in your
environment.
You appear sympathetic and approachable. Because you use your feelings and
intuition in assessing people, others sense that you understand their feelings
or their personal situations. At the same time you really want people to know
how you feel, and their care and support are very important to you.
You have a strong desire to constantly be in the limelight and consider second
place already as failure. Very self-confident, you have the ability to mold your
surrounding to your own needs and are likely to furnish your home according to
your taste.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Although you come across as a very private, somewhat wary and enigmatic
individual (as described in the previous chapter), there is another, quite
different side to you: a person that really wants to be noticed, known, loved
and admired.
Proud and intensely individual, you really want to stand out, to be the very
best you can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for your unique
contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely
important to you, and you cannot tolerate being in the background, taking orders
from others, or being "just one of the team". You must put your personal stamp
on whatever you do, and direct your own course in life. You need to have a place
where you can shine, express yourself creatively, and be the one in charge.
You have big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality, and enthusiasm to
bring them into being. You also have a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the
dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.
For you it is true that "all the world's a stage" and you secretly (or perhaps
not so secretly) desire to be the Star or Hero in the play. You want to be
great, and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the
"audience" is just one other special person. You need someone to believe in you
and your dreams. Though you appear radiantly self-confident and independent, you
are actually very much dependent on the affirmation, love, and recognition of
others. You cannot bear being unnoticed or unappreciated.
You also love wholeheartedly and generously and really know how to make the
person you love feel special. You love the magic of "being in love" and know how
to keep the romance alive in your relationships. You are also immensely loyal
and will defend your loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they
never offend your pride or betray your trust. However, you like to be the strong
one in a relationship and you really do not share the leading role very easily.
Ideally you need to find a person who is as strong-willed as yourself, but who
will not try to dominate or compete with you.
Your strengths are your zest and love for life, your creative power, and your
warm and generous heart. Your primary fault is your tendency to be very
egocentric, so concerned with the impression you are making and with your own
creative self-expression that you forget there is another, larger world that
does not revolve around you.
World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand your intellectual
horizons and broaden your understanding of the world are very attractive to you.
You have a philosophical turn of mind and are concerned with seeking answers to
the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract
concepts and/or plans for the future occupy your mind much of the time.
You tend to see things from your perspective only and to be rather subjective.
You also enjoy talking and expressing your views but you don't always listen as
well. You have a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and need
constant mental stimulation and activity.
Inwardly you are zealous and fanatical, though you may hide your personal
desires and intentions, and the intensity of your feelings. You are driven by a
deep inner sense of destiny and mission and an almost compulsive desire for
personal recognition. You have an infatuation with power and are incredibly
willful and stubbornly fixated on achieving greatness or being Somebody Special.
You tend to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma,
and often seek to emulate them. You have potential for tremendous good or
tremendous evil.
Your deep comprehension and good powers of concentration give you the ability to
judge matters wisely and prudently. You are a keen observer and also can be a
persuasive speaker. You like to be in control, but need appreciation and
recognition for your efforts.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
You are highly interested in inner, subjective, and personal issues, and your
thinking is based more on feelings, intuition, personal experiences, and
prejudices rather than reason or logic. Intellectual abilities and
accomplishments without heart or soul mean little to you. You are empathic and
would be an excellent counselor, for you are a sensitive listener and deeply
interested in a person's feelings and inner life. In addition to psychology, you
are drawn to education, art, poetry, music, or mythology. You are not especially
confident about speaking in public, but will open up and share your thoughts in
small, intimate groups. You enjoy keeping a diary or personal journal and
reading the chronicles of others' lives and personal development.
You have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and wisdom and for an ever
broadening understanding of life. You are the perpetual student and will be
involved in higher education, philosophy, or religion. Law, broadcasting,
publishing, or the field of communications are also areas that interest you.
World travel and studying other cultures are also strong urges of yours.
Your intellectual interests tend toward the offbeat or unusual. Anything
"alternative", innovative, experimental, creatively inspired, or new is right up
your alley. You may not have the patience to study these things in depth, but
you have an instinctive grasp of them. The esoteric sciences like astrology,
numerology, and the like are subjects you could pick up quite easily.
Suspicious that appearances are superficial and masking the "real nitty-gritty",
you are always probing beneath the surface to uncover the deeper, hidden aspects
of a matter. You are interested in anything secret or mysterious. You have great
powers of concentration and a penetrating mind, with an aptitude for research,
investigative reporting, or detective work. You are also keenly observant and
seem to have "x-ray vision" regarding the inner motivations and intentions of
other people. You could make an excellent psychotherapist, uncovering the deeper
causes and roots of a person's emotional problems. You may also be drawn to
esoteric or occult studies and the development of unusual mental powers. Stories
of mystery, intrigue, and espionage fascinate you.
You are very sociable and have a talent for organizing and arranging
associations or groups of people. You are likely to have good cooperation
between people and you proudly share your successes with them.
You form your own conclusion about things and may have some difficulty in
exchanging your thoughts and ideas with others, although they regard your ideas
as having a good foundation. Most of your conversations tend to have a serious
overtone.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
Tenderhearted and sympathetic to an unusual degree, you have an understanding of
other people's feelings and needs which borders on being telepathic. You are
extremely compassionate and cannot bear to see any fellow creature - be it human
or animal -suffer. Because of your kindness and nonjudgmental attitude, people
in pain or confusion are drawn to you for help, which you readily give.
Sometimes your softheartedness is taken advantage of.
You are a gentle, poetic soul and have a great love and affinity for music.
Because many of your feelings are nebulous and vague and you cannot easily
verbalize how you experience life, music seems a natural language for you. You
are also tremendously romantic and are often "in love with love".
You have strong attachments to your past, the place where you grew up, your
heritage, and family traditions. In fact, you may be unable to step out of the
habits and roles you learned as a child. Your tie to your mother is very strong
and you also seek mothering and protection from your spouse and other family
members as well.
Your emotional attitudes and instincts tend to be quite liberal. You so not want
to be caged or dictated to, and you feel everyone is entitled to do as they
please in their personal and emotional affairs. You tend to surround yourself
with people who are unusual, creative, open-minded, unpredictable, restless, and
changeable, and your relationships, with women in particular, may be somewhat
unstable as a result. However, you enjoy an element of surprise and
unpredictability.
Emotionally you are very sensitive, dreamy, gentle, and easily influenced. If
you are with harmonious people and in congenial surroundings, you flourish, but
negative people or dissonant energies very quickly bring you down. Your
emotional boundaries tend to be very loose and permeable. You feel what others
feel, and physically you are very open and impressionable. Standing up for
yourself, saying no when you want to, and recognizing and respecting others
limits and boundaries are important lessons for you to learn. Beware of a
tendency to martyr yourself out of pity for someone else's problems.
You have a great interest in everything and everyone around you and are
constantly looking for people with whom you can establish deep inner contacts.
Your judgments are based on your personal feelings and you have a strong need to
be with others.
In love, you are more interested in a person's sense of humor and intelligence
than in their physique. You like a partner who is mentally alive and who keeps
you guessing a little bit, and you become restless and bored with someone who
never asks questions, never changes or surprises you. Talking, sharing ideas,
going places together, and learning new things together is very important to
your happiness. You need lots of social stimulation, are something of a flirt,
and like to have many friends of both sexes. A possessive, jealous partner is
very stifling for you.
You crave very intense, deep, emotional relationships, and would even prefer a
stormy, tumultuous relationship to one which is smooth but lacking vitality and
passion. You love wholeheartedly and expect all-consuming, total devotion and
attention from your partner. Casual, light relationships hold no appeal for you.
You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to
discover that no real, flesh and blood human being ever quite lives up to your
dream image of the Perfect Love. Though you frequently fantasize about love and
romance, you may avoid becoming intimately involved with anyone or making
definite commitments. You can be evasive and dishonest with yourself and others,
when it comes to love. Some of your love yearnings may be expressed through art,
music, or an involvement with mysticism.
You are likely to have many romantic or unusual experiences in love. You tend to
fall in love quickly and enjoy a conquest, but then tire of what has been
conquered. If you don't keep this in control, you could end up in a hasty
marriage and a quick divorce.
Your artistic feeling or perception gives you a strong creative potential. You
have the ability to think in forms or shapes and also to tune into rhythms such
as dancing, gymnastics and song. Your physical coordination could be excellent
as well.
You are rich in feelings and have the ability to express them well. You have a
knack for making others feel good and are likely to enjoy a harmonious sex-life.
You also have a strong need to create and may have a flair for designing
fashionable clothes.
It may be hard for you to love someone and to express your love for them. There
seems to be a wall built up between you and others and you seem very cool to
them. Your disposition is very reserved and withdrawn, making it difficult for
people to approach you.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You are proud and ambitious, and you strive to excel, to stand out and be
recognized for who and what you are. You have a very strong ego drive and like
to be Number One. You find it difficult to take orders from others or to stay in
the background, and you hate being wrong; you always insist that you are right!
You are forceful, strong, energetic, determined, and highly competitive. You
play hard, you play to win, and you do not give up easily. In fact, you see life
as a competitive sport or performance. You love admiration and applause, and you
have a strong sense of personal honor and integrity. You tend to be very
self-confident, even arrogant. Because of your belief in yourself, you are able
to accomplish much, but if your confidence is ever undermined, you become
self-conscious, defensive, and rather belligerent.
You have passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. You are
willing to dedicate a great deal of your energy and force to an important cause,
and you'll act decisively on your beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.
Sometimes you get so involved and identified with your ideas that you cannot
really be receptive to anyone who opposes you philosophically.
You are enterprising, ambitious, and have a strong desire to succeed in a big
way. Ever on the lookout for new opportunities and promising new ventures, you
are willing to take risks if you sense that something is going to be a winner.
No matter how much you accomplish, you never seem to be completely satisfied.
You always feel you can do more, and set your sights on another goal. You feel
frustrated in limited circumstances, and you will leave secure and reasonably
successful situations if they do not offer challenges and potential for growth
and expansion in the future. You like to keep stretching your limits, to see how
far you can go. Sometimes you overextend yourself or promise more than you can
actually achieve, due to an overly optimistic or overly confident assessment of
your own capacities. You relish healthy competition and feel that it spurs you
on to even greater achievements.
Although enterprising and forward-looking, you are also capable of much
self-discipline, patience, and effort. You may swing from confidence and trust
in the future to pessimism and doubt, when it comes to achieving your aims in
life.
You work hard and patiently to achieve your objectives, persevering and
continuing on in spite of difficulties and discouragement. Concentrating on a
single, clearly defined goal, you are able to accomplish much, but you often
feel that the way is long and arduous, and that you must struggle on alone, that
it's all on your shoulders.
You are capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard task
master, expecting far too much of yourself. You also tend to hold yourself back,
to doubt your own power and ability. You feel that you meet with great
resistance whenever you try to assert yourself or take initiative. Anger and
frustration can be big problems for you, especially when you try to work with
other people or depend too much on others for support. You work best in
solitude.
You impress others with your strong individuality and your powerful personality.
You put all of your energy into getting ahead and attaining your ambitions and
feel no desire to demonstrate your abilities to anyone, but your work is likely
to be noticed.
You know what you want in life and have the ability to define your goals
clearly. Being open-minded and frank, you have a good understanding of
everything. You may have been encouraged to learn to talk at an early age and
now find it easy to communicate.
You have a strong need to gain power and tend to dominate or manipulate other
people. But in your push for success, power struggles could also thwart your
efforts and you could become the victim of someone else having control over you.
Your drives and ambitions in life may seem crazy or eccentric to the more
conservative people you know. There may well be no security or safety net (no
retirement pension, no insurance benefits) in the work you do. You are suited
for freelancing, or professions that involve lots of change, innovation,
variety, irregular schedules, and the like. Expect the unexpected and numerous
ups and downs in the course of your life. You may change course often, and try
many different things.
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.
Your inner life tends to be full of imagination and you are likely to have
far-reaching ideas and plans. Peace-loving and generous, you are very sharing in
your relation with others. But you also could become the victim of unintentional
slights.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
Material comfort, security, and well-being are quite important to you, and you
are not one to have your head in the clouds when financial matters and future
security are at stake. Your strengths are practicality, a love of the earth, and
the ability to take great delight in the sensual pleasures of the natural world.
Also, when you feel secure financially, you are likely to be very generous and
hospitable.
You have a positive and constructive attitude toward work and what other people
might consider drudgery. You enjoy helping people improve their lives, and the
more service you render, the more benefits and rewards you find coming back to
you. Promoting health in some manner is a very good avenue for you.

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 take both your work and your health very seriously, but you may demand so
much of yourself at work that you compromise your health. You can become a
workaholic, not so much because you have lofty ambitions, but because you never
feel like you've done enough. You are overly responsible or overly conscientious
at work, so much so that you may not enjoy it at all.
You can also get overly involved in self-improvement or your health, and you
tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac.
Your aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical
considerations. You pursue your aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough
manner, and you are willing to take your time, advancing slowly and steadily on
your way to your goal.
Sometimes you underestimate what is possible, and hold yourself back
unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.
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.
Instinctively you are a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when
necessary. Very often, however, you stand alone when you don't need to, not
realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. You
have a tendency to "reinvent the wheel"! - that is, to feel that you must be
self reliant and that only you can come up with the answers you need. Implicit
in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach
which at its worst can alienate you from others, or make you feel that "it is me
versus the rest of the world".
Social skills and graces and what you call social "games" are not really natural
to you. You need to learn how to share and join with others, and how to
negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in any
involvements you have with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like.
The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group
effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination
Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive
You need a lot of freedom in your close one-to-one relationships and you may
experiment with nontraditional forms of relationships. You rebel against
conventions and restrictions when it comes to marriage or personal
relationships, and you're likely to choose a highly unusual, eccentric, or
unconventional partner.
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.
You have a great need to be independent and free. There is an inner rebellion in
you that makes it difficult for you to be adaptable. Your domestic life could be
filled with nervous tension and a tendency toward excessive demands made on the
family.
You are a bit nervous and have a tendency to act rashly or hastily. Your ideas
tend to change quickly and you are constantly distracted by new impressions. You
are an independent thinker and always interested to learn something new.
You are hyper-sensitive in dealing with others and have a tendency to be
influenced or easily led by others. You could be easily deceived and misled and
must learn not to take on other's problems.
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.

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.
