    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 enthusiastic and sensitive. Others enjoy your
company because you are communicative, empathetic, and
enthusiastic. Others do not feel bored around you, and you enjoy
a large circle of friends and associates. Your family members
and spouse in particular, however, may sometimes complain that
you are not dependable or that you change your mind too often.
 
    One of your primary challenges involves developing a stable
sense of security, solidness, and a steady rhythm in your life.
Cultivating self-discipline, patience and endurance, and
learning to accept realistic limitations will enable you to be
more productive and to actualize some of the ideas and creative
impulses you have. You are not always interested in practical
applications, the actual work involved in realizing a desire or
compromises for the sake of practicalities.
 
    You are apt to feel out of place in the world at times,
restless, discontent, unable to find your niche, dissatisfied
with mundane reality. Positively this may spark your exploration
of the creative, imaginative, or spiritual side of life.
However, you tend to resist growing up and learning how to
effectively deal with adult responsibility. You also tend to be
either bound up with the past or projecting into the future,
ignoring the present moment - what actually is. To become more
present and grounded, you may find the following helpful:
getting massages on a regular basis, doing gentle regular,
rhythmic exercise like walking or yoga, and eating substantial,
heavy foods.

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.

    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.

     Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is
a youthfulness about your manner and appearance regardless of
your chronological age. You also always appear busy and active,
and somewhat restless. You need mental stimulation from your
environment, or you will rapidly get bored.
     There is a certain depth and intensity about you that may
be threatening to others. No matter how gentle or unassuming you
may be on the surface, you are also a force to be reckoned with.
You have causes, passions, or desires that drive you and when
one of these is aroused you are quite zealous in your pursuit or
defense of it.

Section 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

    Behind your rather secretive and guarded exterior (as
described in the previous chapter), you are very competitive,
dynamic, and driven. This aspect of you is described in more
detail in this chapter.

    You are a person who thrives on challenge, and you often
feel that you must battle your way through life, depending upon
no one and nothing but your own strength, intelligence, and
courage. You believe in being totally honest, true to oneself
and one's own vision and convictions, even if that means
standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor, and
authenticity are your gods, and you have no sympathy for
weakness of character in others.
 
    You crave the freedom to do things in your own way, and you
work very well independently. Cooperating with others or
carrying out another's will is not your style. You like to be
the chief -or to go it alone.
 
    You love action and if others are settling down into a nice,
comfortable little rut, then you are always ready to stir things
up, do something new, make changes, bring in some fresh blood.
Routine and sameness are like death to you. You are not afraid
of trying something that's never been done before, and even
though you may be seen as a fool sometimes, you also discover,
invent, and initiate things that others will later emulate.
Taking risks and following your own star are the breath of life
for you, and you wilt (or get very frustrated and angry) if you
cannot do this.
 
    You are spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic, and
assertive. You believe in the power of positive thinking and
positive action, and you think of yourself as a strong person
-even invincible. You hate being ill or in any way in a position
of dependency. Accepting your own human limitations and
emotional needs is often difficult for you.
 
    You are basically aggressive in your attitudes and have less
facility in the receptive arts of relating to others, picking up
subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing, and
harmonizing. Often you are so fired up about your own projects
or goals that you inadvertently run over or ignore other
people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and
appreciative of others' contributions, ideas, and feelings would
go a long way in improving your relationships. Your impatience
to get on with things causes you to be rather insensitive, and
to therefore alienate others unnecessarily. You also frequently
try to accomplish your ends by using anger or some version of a
temper tantrum. You would gain much by learning to slow down,
relax, and just let things be sometimes, but your energetic,
restless nature rarely allows you to do this.

     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 subconscious needs and feelings blend well with your
conscious intentions and desires, therefore you are able to
proceed in your life's pursuits relatively unhampered by
internal resistance or inconsistency. Your male-female
relationships will reflect this state of internal harmony also.

    You are extremely sensitive and imaginative, and you can get
lost in your dreams, fantasies, and visions. You are attracted
to artistic and creative pursuits, the world of color, beauty,
and emotion. You are also drawn to mysticism and have deep
spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace-loving,
you may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make your
way in the world. You are often impractical and may seek to
avoid or escape the hard realities of life.

    You are warm-hearted, kind, generous and very popular,
especially with the opposite sex. Your happy feelings rub off
onto others and everyone enjoys being with you. Due to a
protective and encouraging upbringing, your relations with your
parents are good.

    You have a good relationship between your body and soul. You
tend to seek out the public and because of your strong
personality, others will follow you. You could do well in public
relations.

Section 4: Mental Interests and Abilities

    You are more of a poet than a rational scientist, for your
mind does not function in a strictly logical, linear fashion.
The language of music, art, or poetry is natural to you, and you
are also able to think in highly abstract and symbolic terms.
Translating your thoughts and impressions into concrete,
everyday language may be difficult for you at times and
consequently you may appear less intelligent or at least less
quick-witted and verbal than others. This was especially true of
you as a child, and you probably daydreamed a good deal also.
You are intuitive and are able to sense what others' thoughts
and feelings are, even before they say anything to you. You
often form an opinion about a person or situation without much
factual knowledge of them, and your impressions are usually
correct. You can be somewhat absent-minded and you become so
immersed in your own thoughts that you overlook things in your
immediate, tangible environment. You are extremely open-minded
and believe that anything is possible. Intangible or spiritual
forces seem just as real to you as anything in the concrete
world. Your imagination and your sympathetic understanding of
other people are two of your greatest gifts.

     You have an introspective turn of mind and may enjoy
keeping a journal or a record of your dreams and personal
experiences, or learning about psychology, history, and the
inner workings and emotional foundations of your own life. You
are studious and something of a bookworm.

    You enjoy philosophical speculation and theorizing about
abstract ideas and concepts. You are interested in the broad
view, universal principles and systems, seeing connecting
relationships and patterns, and seeing the whole picture rather
than its component parts. You have a great respect and thirst
for knowledge and education, and are the proverbial "perpetual
student". You also have a talent for teaching and sharing your
knowledge, and as a teacher you present yourself as a fellow
participant in the ongoing quest for understanding rather than
as an authority.
 
    You may become involved in television, publishing, or other
fields that involve sharing ideas with large groups of people.
You excel in areas that require long-range planning and
foresight, and can therefore be very successful in business, but
you are rather sloppy and haphazard when it comes to
implementing your ideas in a concrete way. You should leave it
to someone else to take care of the details. Travel or
long-distance contacts and communications will play a large role
in your life and work.

    Never satisfied with the face value of anything, you are
always probing beneath the surface for deeper reasons and hidden
motives - though you rarely reveal your own. You have a very
suspicious, even paranoid, side. You mind is penetrating and
deep and you have an aptitude for research, investigative
reporting, or private investigation. You are keenly interested
in the deeper aspects of the human psyche, with a sort of "x-ray
vision" regarding the inner motivations and intentions of
others. You are drawn to anything secret, hidden, or mysterious,
and may pursue esoteric or occult studies. You are also a
forceful and convincing speaker or writer, with the ability to
influence people's thinking by the sheer power of your
conviction.

    You are self-assured and confident and have the necessary
energy to carry out your objectives. You make your plans with
sufficient forethought and always keep in mind to proceed
according to the currently prevailing regulations.

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 often make decisions solely for emotional or personal
reasons, because something "feels right" or because you've
always done it a certain way and you are uncomfortable changing
it. Even when you think you're being rational, your prejudices,
intuitions, and feelings influence your thoughts a great deal.
You are comfortable talking about feelings and personal
subjects, and sharing confidences, which enables others to
express their own inner feelings with you as well. You have good
psychological insight into others.

    You are assertive and confront difficulties in a direct,
no-nonsense sort of way. You cannot tolerate self-pity or
passivity, and you can be rather brusque with others' emotional
problems. "Stop crying and DO something about it" might be your
motto.

    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.

    Serious and emotionally reserved, you were probably never an
exuberant, playful child, and you rarely express yourself in a
spontaneous, childlike manner. You are cautious about letting
others get close to you and sometimes withdraw from people
altogether. At times, even when you are with people, you feel
lonely or isolated. Learning to appreciate your own company and
to find satisfying solitary activities is essential to your
emotional well-being.

    You have a somewhat excitable disposition and your moods and
thoughts change rapidly. Enterprising, original and intuitive,
you have an instinctive correct grasp of a subject. You are
intellectual, resent interference and it is hard to deceive
you.

    You are likely to be noted for your good looks and good
taste in clothes. You are able to attract and influence others
because you are so pleasant and so sincere in your approach.
Having an innate mothering instinct, you also are strongly
attached to your home and family.

    Your love feelings and desires are easily aroused but it may
be difficult to sustain your romantic interest in a relationship
after the initial, exciting "chase and conquest". You enjoy a
partner who is dynamic and alive, someone with a strong
independent streak, and you do not like things to become too
peaceful or predictable in the love arena. You want to see
sparks fly once in awhile, even if that means instigating a
fight.

     When you care about someone, you like to serve them, doing
small thoughtful favors, helping them, or doing something
tangible to show your affection.
 
     You also have considerable artistic or creative skill and
may sew or do other handiwork or crafts. In fact, you are suited
for a profession involving beauty or pleasure or making people
happy in some way.

    You are open and progressive in your attitudes towards love
and romance, and spontaneous and free in your love-expression.
You are always willing to experiment and try anything new that
your partner suggests, and you enjoy being surprised. A
relationship in which both you and your partner have a good deal
of freedom and independence will hold your interest much more
than a safe, predictable one.

     You have a rich, colorful, dreamy imagination and a refined
sense of beauty. Involvement in the arts, or with artistic,
sensitive, or spiritually inclined people is very satisfying to
you. In your friendships and romantic relationships, you tend to
be unselfish, giving, and forgiving. You might enjoy joining
with others for charitable events or social service.

    Your interests may lead you to unusual or specialized
artistic fields and you have the ability to successful advertise
or promote your projects. You could do well in journalism,
writing sexual literature. This astrological configuration also
is associated with a marriage swindler!

    You treat others in an agreeable, affectionate and tactful
way and freely show your affection for them. Your circle of
friends is likely to be large and you strive for the development
of a strong community spirit.

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

    You seesaw between being too pushy, confrontational, and
insistent on doing things your way, and being too eager to
please, without a clear, definite goal of your own. You strive
for a balance between acting independently and assertively - and
working cooperatively and interdependently with others. You may
feel frustrated at times that you cannot simply do what YOU want
to, that you must always accommodate the needs and desires of
others. Or you may feel hesitant to act in a positive, assertive
manner if you do not have the support and approval of other
people. Either way, you are not a loner. You achieve your goals
by collaborating and joining forces with others, by being a team
player. You are very concerned with the concept of fairness and
become quite indignant and vocal if you sense someone is being
taken advantage of. You avoid extremism and favor a balanced,
moderate approach to living. You are unlikely to push yourself
too hard or to become fanatically driven to reach your goals.

     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.

     While you enjoy challenging yourself to extend your
abilities or try new activities, you are apt to bite off more
than you can chew. Failures or accidents due to overestimating
your prowess or capacities and being overly eager and poorly
prepared, may result. Fortunately these disappointments or
blunders do not dampen your spirits or your ambitions
permanently; you have a lot of resilience and optimism. Most
likely you'll need to develop your physical coordination and
sense of timing in order to do some of the activities you dream
of doing.

    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 possess the gifts of endurance and perseverance, the
willingness to work hard and seriously to achieve your
objectives. Once you decide you want something or make a
commitment, you'll do it "even if it takes forever".
Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize
that any creative achievement is "10% inspiration, 90%
perspiration". You choose practical, realistic goals and pursue
them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like to
concentrate on one thing at a time and do a thorough job. You
enjoy working in solitude, and often feel your best work is done
when you are alone.

     You have an aptitude for detective or research work, or any
field that involves digging beneath the surface for the hidden
elements. An interest in psychology, hypnosis, and utilizing
subconscious forces or subliminal messages may well be a key
factor in your career.
 
     Whatever your choice of profession, you are apt to feel a
sense of inner mission about it and may pursue it with great
zeal and intensity.

    You seem to lack the drive needed to deal with situations
and depend a lot on your subconscious insights. Your energy
tends to be a bit low and feelings of hopelessness and
inferiority may plague you quite often.

Section 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy

     Your ability to empathize and identify with others makes
you unwilling to take advantage of or hurt anyone. You care
about the underdog. You may also be unusually impressionable or
have highly developed psychic sensitivity.

     You are very hospitable and love having a large,
comfortable, gracious home where you can welcome guests as well
as family. Your childhood or heritage was very nourishing and
supportive, giving you a solid, emotionally secure basis for
your life, and you are therefore inclined to share what you have
freely and generously.
 
     Investing in your home or real estate is likely to be very
rewarding for you.

    You tend to create scandals or may become a victim of
scandal yourself. You are not above cheating or lying a bit, but
should take care that it doesn't backfire on you. You also
should guard against losing money or possessions through
underhanded tactics of others.

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

     You have an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical
attitude toward society that may leave you feeling out of step
and unable to participate in activities with your peers.
Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an
important task for you.

     You are serious-minded and may have difficulty making light
social conversation or participating in friendly, personal
interchanges.
 
     You try to be strictly accurate and are critical of people
who exaggerate or talk on subjects they really know little
about. You withhold your thoughts and opinions until you have
thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes your
silence discomforts others.
 
     Your mental concentration is very good but your breadth of
understanding may not be.

    Somewhat shy, you find it difficult to relate to people and
tend to withdraw from others. Since it is hard for you to
establish relationships, you would rather be by yourself. You
like everything simple or plain and prefer a more humble and
secluded life.



    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.

    You have a friendly, open and sociable manner and a strong
desire to cultivate contact with warm and congenial people. You
may enjoy participating in artistic events and like to associate
with art lovers.

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

     You have a reckless, impulsive, or very unconventional
attitude toward money, material things, and ownership. Above
all, you do not want to be possessed by your possessions. The
obligations of owning things are likely to feel oppressive to
you.
 
     Also, you may make your money in a field that is
unconventional, highly unstable, or very inventive and
innovative. Your fortunes are likely to fluctuate widely
throughout your life.

     You have a very active imagination and powerful fantasies.
You may develop an interest in the supernatural, psychic
phenomena, or occult subjects. You may have strange fantasies
and/or nebulous fears of "ghosts", "the astral plane", or death.
It's better for you not to dabble in such areas unless you are
thoroughly grounded in the practical world as well.

     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 get excited easily and tend to raise yourself into an
emotional state with the possibility of losing your
self-control. You are very restless and display a degree of
nervousness when you are with other people.

    You have a tendency to act with speed and may not think
things through very carefully. You are likely to make impulsive
decisions without adequate forethought and should make sure to
be in a position where you can change your mind, for you may do
it often.

    You are quite amorous and subject to sudden attachments that
are not lasting. Somewhat inconsistent in love, you are likely
to fall in love many times. Some of your relationships could
begin under unusual circumstances.

    You tend to be somewhat self-willed and may find it
difficult to get along with others. Frustrated with your
environment, you are likely to have frequent disputes. You want
to free yourself from restrictions and obligations that hold you
back.

    You seem to be quite adventurous and have a strong liking
for things that are unusual. You may be interested in mystical
and occult subjects in order to increase your understanding of
the universe and of yourself.

    You may find it difficult to be around other people and tend
to use little white lies to get out of appointments or meetings.
Poor communication or misunderstandings with others always seems
to leave you disappointed.

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 30 year group of people who have a
lighthearted and carefree attitude towards life. Your
subconscious and emotional needs are not as great and not as
difficult as other generations. You approach life in a more airy
and easygoing manner. You know how to have a good time and do
not take life as seriously as other generations do.

    You are a curious and inquisitive bunch and love puzzles and
word games. Some members of your generation will follow these
interests with great depth, and contribute spectacular
breakthroughs in the areas of languages, mathematics and logic.

    These breakthroughs also highlight the importance of
educational skills and the benefits they can bring, and your
generation is highly motivated to improve the educational
standards and academic skills of people. A tremendous push is
given to ensure literacy of all people, to develop adequate
verbal and mathematical skills, and to slow down the dropout
rate from high schools. Needless to say, these are noble goals
that all generations support, but your generation puts a much
greater emphasis on these issues than others age groups do.

    The generation following yours is far more emotional and
personally sensitive than your group. Consequently, many of you
are oblivious to the emotional support and tender nurturing that
your children (who are likely to be members of this next
generation) require.

           The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group

    You are part of a 14 year group of people that are highly
intuitive, emotional, and sentimental. Your generation
approaches religion in an emotional and devotional manner, and
is less concerned with specific dogma and doctrine than other
generations. You are an emotional and sentimental group that
clings to your memories of precious and special moments.

           What is New and Different in Your Age Group

    You are part of a 7 year group of people who are extremely
enterprising and forward-looking. You are optimists and
explorers. Your age group shoots for the stars, figuratively and
literally. Space exploration takes on new dimensions as your age
group pushes fervently to the next frontier. There is a buoyant
and youthful optimism and enthusiasm in your group, and you have
your share of great discoveries as well as pipe dreams and
disillusionment. The discoveries and contributions, however, are
many, and more than compensate for the failures.
