    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.



    Your birth chart interpretation is based on the positions of
the planets at the time of your birth. For the benefit of
students of astrology, these positions, along with other
technical information, are listed below:

Section 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 tranquillity and peacefulness.

Section 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.

    High-spirited, enthusiastic, and exuberant, you love
adventure, change, exploring new territory, and are not happy
confined to the same safe, familiar, secure little world all the
time. You have a strong restlessness and yearning for something
greater than anything you've yet experienced, and you often live
in your dreams and visions for the future. You tend to believe
that the grass is greener somewhere else and you like to keep
moving, either literally or figuratively. Idealistic and
optimistic, you always expect something better ahead. You love
to have a goal, something to aim for, but once you achieve it
you are on to something else. You are ever on the lookout for
new opportunities and you are a gambler, willing to take risks
and to break new ground. The possibility of discovering
something new is what makes life interesting for you. You have
great faith in life and bounce back quickly from disappointment
and failure.

    Freedom-loving and independent, you cannot tolerate being
caged for very long, and friends and loved ones must respect
your need for freedom of movement. Binding commitments and
responsibilities often weigh heavily upon you and you may resist
"growing up" and taking on the limitations of adult life.

    You are friendly and outgoing and have a great sense of fun
and playfulness. You are also philosophically minded and often
quite outspoken about your convictions and beliefs. Sometimes
you get carried away with your enthusiasm of the moment and you
tend to exaggerate. You are often a big talker, a big promiser,
and you are usually pretty convincing. You do everything in a
big way, a generous way. You like to have the best, and you
heartily dislike stinginess, littleness, or pettiness. Your
vision is always large. You are able to perceive the big
picture, general patterns and principles, and are well suited to
politics, business, higher education or religion.

    Other people see you as a good sport and a good friend, but
one who is not always consistent and dependable. You may also be
seen as a wise person since you do not get bogged down in
pettiness and trivialities, and are able to communicate a larger
way of looking at situations, one that opens up new potentials.
You are a person who believes in miracles, grace, or just plain
good luck, someone who never gives up on life, and you inspire
and encourage others to keep looking forward.

    You are mentally active and restless and you like to talk,
communicate, and exchange ideas with others. You express
yourself well, and are suited to activities that involve
presenting ideas to other people, such as teaching, sales, etc.

     You project a feeling of broad-mindedness, generosity, and
beneficence, a sense that you're someone others should listen to
and treat with respect. Because you generally make such a
favorable impression on people, many doors are open to you, and
it may seem that you are somehow luckier than other people.
Mostly this is due to the confidence you emanate.

    You have an open and cheerful manner and attract attention
because of your good taste in clothing, hairdo and general well
kept appearance. You have the ability to create a harmonious
environment and are happy and confident in the company of
others.

    You are likely to go your own way in life and have a
tendency to seclude yourself from others. Always preoccupied
with your own thoughts and ideas, you give other people the
impression that you don't want to be bothered with their
problems.

Section 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

    Many of the traits described in Chapter 2 are emphasized
again below. Your enthusiasm and outgoing, forward-looking
nature is a gift, but also be wary of the tendency to overlook
details and be oblivious to others' personal feelings.

    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 tend to get involved in the helping professions or in
activities where your efforts are hidden, behind the scenes,
unacknowledged, or unknown to the public. Asserting yourself or
getting up in front of an audience may be exceedingly
uncomfortable for you.

    You are intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical, though
often you hide the intensity of your feelings and your personal
motives and desires. You have an infatuation with power and an
almost compulsive desire for personal recognition, the desire to
be Somebody. You tend to worship Heroes who have powerful
personal magnetism and charisma, and often seek to emulate them.
You also have both a fear of, and an intense fascination with,
death and the hidden, secret, dark side of life.

Section 4: Mental Interests and Abilities

    You possess vision and foresight, and your mind is often
occupied with big ideas, plans, and goals for the future. You
are interested in what is possible and what is on the horizon,
rather than what has already been done. The study of philosophy,
religion, politics, or education is of interest to you, and you
are more concerned with theories and concepts than with specific
applications. You are not inclined to focus on any one
practical, concrete area; you find it irksome to deal with
details and particulars. You have a gambling instinct and enjoy
speculative enterprises and new ventures. Business, advertising,
and promotion would be good areas for you also.

     You are quite verbal and communicative and eager to get
your own ideas and opinions across to others. You say what is on
your mind. Others see you as a lively, intelligent person, and
perhaps something of a chatterbox at times.

     You are mentally restless, intellectually thirsty, and
immensely curious. You may study and travel widely in order to
satisfy these urges and you're even happier if you share your
journeys with companions. Your gifts lie in your capacity for
learning about the beliefs of a broad spectrum of people, making
long-distance connections, opening up channels of communication
and understanding, bringing people together from foreign lands,
promoting social and cultural exchange.

    You have a lot of imagination and fantasies and are able to
control your inner visions by common sense. You have creative
and artistic talents, but are inclined to underestimate your
skill. You could be attracted to art, music, singing or
dancing.

Section 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance

    You are not easily moved by emotional displays and can be
curiously detached from your own and others' emotions. It's
almost as if you could turn your feelings on and off at will so
you should be careful not to leave the switch "off" too often,
for you could easily become too impersonal. Family ties and
attachments are not as important to you as they are to most
people and you often consider your friends closer to you than
your blood relatives. Certainly, your sympathy and concern
extends much beyond your immediate family. In your personal
relationships, you insist upon a certain amount of independence
and the freedom to pursue friendships with as many people, of
both sexes, as you choose. You do not appreciate a jealous,
possessive partner.
 
    You feel comfortable in an atmosphere that is open and
experimental, and you have little taste for convention and
tradition.

     You are likely to be a great collector of things - a real
pack rat in fact - for your belongings give you a sense of
security and continuity with the past, which is important to
you. Antiques or things with sentimental value from your past
are especially dear to you.
 
     You may also cling rather tightly to both money and
possessions, keeping them "in the family" rather than sharing
freely with those outside of your immediate circle.

    You are temperamental and impatient and can be very
difficult to live with. You tend to respond with a temper
tantrum (overt or subtle) if your desires are frustrated. You
become very irritable and bad-tempered if you do not have enough
vigorous physical activities or other outlets for your
aggressive, feisty spirit.

    Although you get hot under the collar rather easily (as
mentioned above), you also have a certain degree of emotional
self-control and composure which enables you to rein in some of
your more aggressive tendencies. This side of you is described
below.

     You are dedicated to the people you care about and
conscientious about meeting your responsibilities, especially to
family. Family solidarity and cohesiveness are very important to
you and so, therefore, are the traditions, rituals, and memories
that keep the bonds strong.
 
     You're apt to do more than your fair share in the family,
to go the extra mile, but this is satisfying rather than
burdensome to you for the most part.

    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.

    Your childhood and early home life was in many ways
unsettling and the nurturing you received was erratic and
unreliable at best. You have had to move a lot, or your family
may have had some conspicuous differences from other people so
that you were often an outsider or "weirdo". As an adult you may
long for "normalcy" while at the same time you balk at any
routine, structure, formality, or restrictions.
 
    When emotionally stressed at all, you often become nervous
or shaky. Developing a regular rhythm and a way of life that is
steady and consistent (if not traditional) would be beneficial
to you, both emotionally and physically.

    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 very much aware of your personal appearance,
attractiveness, and charm, and you can be rather narcissistic.
On the other hand, you are concerned with getting along with
others and you have a pleasing, agreeable manner that people
find quite appealing. You use tact or charm to get what you want
rather than intense effort or force. Your desire for love and
affection colors everything you do.

    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.

Section 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals

    You are extremely strong-willed and you pursue your goals
and desires with passionate dedication and determination. You
are capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline,
and you are very difficult to influence or sway once your mind
is made up. When you want something, you can be very one-sided
and almost obsessed with it. You are very instinctive and do not
always consciously know why you feel as strongly and deeply as
you do.
 
    You also tend to be secretive and unwilling to reveal your
aims and intentions, and the intensity of your will and desire
may not be apparent to others at first. However, you are very
forceful in a quiet and subtle way. You often manipulate or
force your will upon other people, without being overtly
aggressive. You are not interested in confrontation but are a
formidable foe if you meet opposition or aggression from
another. You are courageous and have a rather primitive, raw
side as well.

     You are a team player and work well in collaboration with
others who share your goals, ideals, and intentions. You can
coordinate group efforts and inspire people to work toward a
shared goal.
 
     Team sports are also a lot of fun for you, and you could be
a leader, coach, or director of any group endeavor.

    Intensely restless, dynamic, and energetic, you are always
on the go. When you want something, you want it NOW, and you act
decisively, impulsively, sometimes hastily and prematurely.
Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you find it
difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are
fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and
intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. You
have a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely
rebellious. Cooperating with others is not your strong point!
You are often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be
quite impersonal when you are pursuing a desired goal. You may
have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a
superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do
things in your own style and at your own pace.

    Your self-control tends to be a bit weak and you seem to
crave excitement. You are subject to sudden changes and seek
emotional freedom. Your wants and needs tend to be different
than those around you and others may think you are crazy because
of your impulsive actions.

    Your nature tends to be very sensual and you may
irresistibly be attracted to someone, even if you know that he
or she is bad for you. You also have a tendency toward jealousy,
possessiveness and unwillingness to grant your partners freedom
to be themselves.

    You tend to feel lonely and cut off from people. Feeling
defenseless and a lack of initiative, you have a tendency to
give up too easily. Because of your inner conflicts, you may
have to deal with depression a lot and may acquire a certain
fear of the future.

    You have a talent and ability for putting fresh ideas and
inspiration into practice. You are ready and willing to utilize
new ideas and methods, and you have a knack for gaining
acceptance for a new idea and practically implementing it.

     Your career is apt to involve protecting, caring,
nurturing, or "mothering" in some aspect. Home, family
relationships, cherishing the past, continuing a tradition are
also featured. You're apt to be quite popular through your
profession or business.

     You achieve your professional goals and long-range
ambitions through self-discipline, concentration, and climbing
the mountain one step at a time. Unlike the lucky few for whom
all doors seem to magically open, you have to formulate a
realistic plan and follow it diligently in order to succeed.
You'll have to pay your dues and endure a few setbacks. Patience
is your ally.
 
     Your father or grandfather probably influenced your choice
of career, and will back you up -- as long as you choose to
follow in his footsteps.

     You are attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual,
creative, or avant-garde, and which offer you a maximum amount
of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really
not your cup of tea. You may make your living in diversified
ways rather than focusing on one specific area or talent, and
you're happiest when you can create a place in the world for
your unique combination of different talents and interests. It
is hard and unnatural for you to try to fit yourself into a
ready-made mold.

Section 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy

     Your strengths lie in your ability to cooperate, to be
diplomatic, and to know just what behavior is called for in
whatever social situation you find yourself. You also possess a
strong sense of fairness, the willingness to listen to opposing
viewpoints and opinions, and the ability to be (or at least seem
to be) impartial and moderate, rather than extreme and
one-sided.

     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 are extremely modest and prefer a plain and simple life.
You have a great tolerance of others and a tendency to sacrifice
yourself for them. But you also could become carried away by
some religious, metaphysical or social ideas.

    You are inclined to pretend that you are happy and that luck
is on your side. Always dreaming of happiness and good fortune,
you tend to take risks or actually indulge in gambling. You also
should guard against putting all your eggs in one basket.

Section 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You

     You have a critical, cynical attitude towards many
religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, you prevent
yourself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. You are
more rigid and dogmatic than you realize. Your approach may also
be too intellectual or moralistic. You take your own political
beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and
fretting if you are not 100% clear about some ideology or
theory.

     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.

    You have a serious outlook on life and a tendency to dwell
on your own flaws as well as those of everyone else. You could
be rather reserved with people and may find it difficult to
express yourself, giving a more negative impression than you
intended.

    Around others you are somewhat humble and shy and prefer to
be by yourself. You tend to limit your contact with others and
associate only with like-minded people. You are inclined to be
cool and reserved even toward those you love.



    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 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.
    The following are specific activities that will support you
in your growth. These may or may not feel natural to you, and
often there is some feeling of resistance or initial awkwardness
about doing these things, but they are important on your path to
wholeness.

    Be a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active
approach to life and to any problems you face. Act on your own
behalf instead of stalling, waiting, or hoping someone else will
do it for you. Assert yourself openly and courageously and don't
be afraid to make mistakes or fall down. Any new initiative is
likely to have a few trial runs. Stir up a healthy fighting
spirit, pick yourself up, and go! Appreciate conflict and
confrontation as a way to grow.

    Become more aware of the spiritual side of life, the
underlying unity, by involving yourself in generous and
charitable activities, and by opening up your psychic channels.
Meditation practices that develop your intuitive abilities, and
learning about the unseen side of life through your own dream
experiences or altered states of awareness, can be important
steps in your path.

    Also, musical and artistic or imaginative endeavors will be
important to you.

    You tend to pick your friends and associates very carefully
and are always on the look-out for responsible and congenial
people. This enables you to feel secure with your colleagues and
you enjoy good relations with them.

    Your relations with others could be rather unstable and
unreliable. With a somewhat negative attitude and weak will, you
avoid opposition and escape your responsibilities. In
association with others, you are likely to choose people who are
asocial.

Section 9: Originality and Imagination
 Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive

     Your life is characterized by sudden disruptions and events
which change the direction of your life quite unexpectedly. You
may be impatient and reckless at certain times, impulsively
acting out your urge for new life and change. You are an
emotionally complex person and you are capable of intense,
unexpected outbursts of feelings and desires.
 
     If you share material assets and resources with another
person (as in a marriage or business partnership), your fortunes
are likely to fluctuate wildly or change quickly for better or
worse.

     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 are a person of great depth and have a deep interest in
the hidden or darker side of life. Issues and experiences others
shun, you are drawn to and compelled to examine. The use and
misuse of personal, social, and political power intrigues you.
Death is also an area you are fascinated with and may explore in
depth. You may have many experiences in which you are forced to
burn your bridges and start over again.

    You have a tendency to put too much trust in your luck and
may adopt the attitude that everything you do will work out all
right somehow. You are inclined to make many plans and expect
them to materialize without much physical effort on your part.

Section 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 15 year group of people that are driven by
the need to find an ethical standard and a clear sense of what
is right and what is wrong. There is a subconscious drive to
straighten out all the world's evils and create a world of
perfect order. There is a feeling of repulsion to anything ugly,
dirty, or grotesque. Oddly enough, there is also often a
fascination with these very things that are so distasteful, and
often a feeling of hopelessness and despair about the world's
condition.

    These inner, emotional and conflicting qualities are
reflected in the attitudes and life styles of your generation.
Most people of your age group are conservative and ethical, and
a small minority goes to the opposite extreme and relishes being
strange or unusual in appearance, and sloppy or even grotesque
in manners and appearance. There seems to be no middle ground
for your generation. Usually, the rebellious type of behavior
comes out during adolescence, and tends to subside thereafter,
and your age group tends to be very conservative in later life.

    Your age group is not very good at compromising and tends to
have strong ideas about what is right and what is wrong. There
is a strong feeling that you must extinguish evil in the world.
Certainly, fostering good works is very commendable, but a
categorical and simple-minded response to complex issues is not
helpful. Your age group will undergo great transformations in
attitudes regarding Good and Evil and will swing to great
extremes. Your generation will also make great contributions in
the areas of medicine and nutrition, ecology, and education.

           The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group

    You are part of a 14 year group of people that have very
intense psychic sensitivity and imagination. Your age group is
very attracted to the strange, weird, and unusual. The sense of
the macabre and bizarre is strong, and this is reflected in much
of the music, art, and fashions of your age group. Novels and
movies with mystery and chilling suspense are also popular with
your age group. Emotional depression, drug use, and suicide are
likely to be relatively high in your age group. There is also a
deep mystical sense, and Eastern religions and meditation are
very attractive to your age group.

     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 are unusually
self-willed, proud, and egotistical. You are a group that defies
authority and insists on having its own way. Parents and school
teachers found that it was extremely difficult to discipline
your age group. Governments that are repressive to individual
expression and freedom meet a great deal of resistance from your
age group, and you tend to rise up against any form of tyranny
and oppressive rule.
