The interpretation of your astrology chart begins on the following page.

You will find that the interpretation of your chart is written in simple language, uncluttered by astrological
jargon. If a statement appears to contradict another statement, then you exhibit these opposite qualities at
different times in your life. For example, a statement that you are highly sociable and gregarious and a statement
that you prefer solitude seemingly contradict each other; this means that you vacillate, and need both sociability
and solitude at different times.
The astrological factor that the interpretation is based on is also given. The astrological factor is given for the
benefit of astrologers and students of astrology. If you are not a student of astrology, then obviously the factor
will not be meaningful to you, and you can ignore it.
If you find this interpretation of your birth chart interesting and informative, you might want to discuss your
birth chart with a professional astrologer to learn more about the astrological influences on your life.

Chapter 1: General Characteristics

Your fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological
elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration,
enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water
(emotional needs and feelings).
Your "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and
if you are lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that you need to consciously
develop that aspect of yourself to learn to appreciate and/or to work harder in that dimension of life.
Sometimes we overvalue the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves,
but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more
detail in the following chapters.
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 selfdiscipline, 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.
You tend to lack the ability to analyze yourself or your life in a detached, objective way. You feel and
experience but do not necessarily understand or reflect upon your experience, and thus find it hard to
communicate or talk about it. Really taking in what someone else has to say can be hard for you - you do not
readily adapt to new ideas or people, and as a result may become inflexible or limit your experience of life. A
broadening education and exposure to different cultures and types of people is very beneficial to you. Otherwise
you are apt to be rigid and even prejudiced against those outside your own circle. (Arthritic conditions, poor
flexibility, or poor circulation may reflect this).
You also tend to distrust people who are free with words or to feel inferior to those who are more articulate
and intellectual than yourself. You learn much more readily by watching, doing, or apprenticing than by reading
or by being told about something.

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 meet life head on and throw yourself into new experiences with zest and enthusiasm. You are direct,
straightforward, assertive, and usually completely aboveboard in all your dealings. Candid and incapable of
guile, insincerity or phoniness, you project a confident and sometimes arrogant appearance to others. You often
lack tact and sensitivity, and can be completely oblivious to others' needs, and inadvertently selfish. You are
self-reliant and don't depend upon social approval and reinforcement as much as other people do. You like to be
original and do not mind going it alone. You may feel that you do not fit into groups very well, and that you do
not naturally blend in and cooperate with others very easily. You like to be either a leader or a loner.
You are a doer and thrive on freedom, challenge, and activity. You tend to think in clear, black and white
terms, and to be somewhat simplistic in your outlook, which enables you to act in a very decisive and selfassured manner. When inspired with an idea, you feel such a sense of urgency and excitement about it that you
will often charge ahead and try to implement it in a rather bold but poorly planned and crudely executed way.
Patience and careful attention to details are not your forte. However, you never accept defeat and will have
brilliant and unprecedented successes and discoveries, as well as painful failures. To you it is far better to make
mistakes than it is to play it safe and never try.
You are scornful of what you see as weakness or passivity in others and also of the human tendency to imitate
and follow. You are not a follower. Others see you as a strong individual, and perhaps brash and brazen as well.
You present a strong front to the world and generally do not allow others to see your vulnerable or insecure side.
To others, you appear capable, mature, and down to earth. Even when you were young, there was a certain
practicality and responsibleness about you that inspired people to rely on you. You keep your cool in most
situations.
In significant ways, your emotional nature and personal needs are at odds with the way you present yourself.
(Compare this chapter with the description of your moon sign in Chapter 4.) As a result of this inconsistency,
you may be uncomfortable showing your instinctive responses and true feelings. You may put them aside,
maybe even be ashamed of them.
When you are in an emotionally charged situation, those who don't know you well may be quite surprised at
your reactions or behavior. The real challenge, though, is to completely accept yourself, so that you don't act as
if your emotional needs and impulses didn't count for very much.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

You will notice that the description of you given below emphasizes many of the same points given in Chapter
2. Because you are so self-reliant, independent, and unwilling to compromise or even cooperate with others, it is
likely that you are self-employed or at least have a job that allows you to work at your own pace and have
relatively little supervision.
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 clear sense of yourself and therefore convey a strong impression to others of who you are and
what you want. Assertive and self-motivated, you can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but
you compete and often clash with other strong individuals. You feel a need to be in control of your own life and
you can be too self-involved, too immersed in your own interests, and oblivious to others at times.
There is an ongoing, subtle conflict within you, between your conscious attitudes and aspirations, and your
deeper emotional and subconscious beliefs, needs, and feelings. This creates considerable inner stress and
sometimes paralyzing indecision, mostly due to the fact that you may be trying to follow a path that is at odds
with your subconscious desires. Chronic tightness or tension in your body may well be a signal that you are
denying or suppressing the messages from your subconscious or emotional self.
Ideally, you will learn to accept the two quite different aspects of yourself and to express both of them. If you
cannot do this, you're apt to attract many people into your life who reflect your denied or repressed qualities,
and who seem to make your life difficult. (Read Chapter 4's description of your moon sign and compare it to the
above interpretation of your sun sign in order to get a better picture of the duality described here.)
6

Realistic and practical, you set goals for yourself that are modest enough for you to actually achieve. You are
able to tackle long, difficult projects and see them through, for you possess self-discipline, concentration, and
perseverance. You also have a strong sense of responsibility and are very conscientious in fulfilling your
obligations. Often you do things because you feel it is expected of you.
While you are realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, you also have an
otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.
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 apt to be a fanatic in some way, and cannot go halfway in anything you do. Your extremism may
seem (and actually be) obsessive and somewhat blind. That is, you don't always consciously understand why
you feel as driven or intense about a given course of action as you do. There is a strong element of fate or
inevitability in your life. A significant death or loss in your life is apt to profoundly influence you and shape
important decisions in your life, and you may consciously seek out intense, life-or-death experiences as well.
You always seem to find the right words to verbalize your feelings, especially in regard to love and
friendship. You also have a keen sense of beauty and probably appreciate art, music or poetry.

Chapter 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 openminded 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 don't speak up readily, even when you have a lot to say! Also, your mind tends to drift and you find it
difficult to study very factual material that doesn't have much color or imaginative appeal. Your intuition and
first impressions are likely to be quite accurate, however, and you tend to depend upon this faculty in making
decisions.
You are an original thinker, capable of unique discoveries and innovations, but you tend to scatter your
energies in too many directions at once and to make impulsive or hasty decisions. You grasp ideas very quickly
and become impatient with duller or more conservative minds. A fast-moving, mentally stimulating, and
unpredictable atmosphere suits you quite well, even though you may complain about the stress and the crazy
pace. You have a technical bent and are interested in the newest scientific theories and findings, electronics,
computers, etc.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance

Secretive and inclined to brooding silences, it is difficult for others to really know your inner core, for you
trust and open yourself to very few. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable and to relinquish control in relationships
is not easy for you.
You have intense, passionate loves and hates and are a jealously loyal and protective friend - or a fearsome
foe. You have a nasty habit of holding on to past hurts, resentments, and guilt - and to keep such feelings to
yourself. It is important for you to learn to forgive and let go, as well as to express your feelings openly and
directly, rather than hiding or repressing them.
You are not content with superficial appearances and are always probing beneath the surface of things for
hidden motives. You have a great deal of emotional depth.
Though you want closeness very much, you often close yourself off and do not really trust others who may
wish to get to know you. You are very wholehearted in your feelings and responses to people, and you want all
or nothing from the people you care for.
You are easygoing, agreeable, and tolerant, willing to overlook others' mistakes, forget the past, and begin
again on a positive note. You enjoy making others comfortable and happy, and sometimes overdo your
generosity. You often feel that "everything will turn out all right no matter what I do", and so become lazy and
lackadaisical.
You tend to surround yourself with people who are gentle, sensitive, peace-loving, and artistically or
spiritually inclined, and there is a strong element of mutual compassion and sympathy in your personal
relationships. It is easy for you to tune in psychically to other people's feelings and emotional worlds. You may
share this type of telepathic link with your mother, sisters, or female friends in particular.
Your emotions are very intense, but often hidden. Like a volcano, one minute you seem quite peaceful and
the next you are exploding with great force and unexpected fury. The intensity of your reactions often surprises
even you. You have tremendous zeal and tend to be an emotional fanatic about things you care about. Your
feelings and desires can be so compelling that you do things against your better judgment and reason. You can
also be very manipulative, in a subtle way. Your personal relationships are deeply emotional, passionate, and
often stormy and painful as well.
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.
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 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.

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

You are serious about your ambitions, and disciplined, dedicated, and tenacious in pursuing your objectives.
Your drive and energy are directed toward practical material accomplishment and achieving concrete results.
You also strive to be in a position of authority and social influence; you enjoy being the person who is in
command.
You are hard-working and capable of foregoing immediate comfort in order to achieve your long-range goals.
You can easily become a workaholic and are very responsible and conscientious about doing a thorough job.
Realistic and pragmatic, you are an excellent strategist. You attain success by formulating a conservative and
workable plan and following through with it. You are not a gambler when it comes to attaining your goals; you
depend on your own efforts and perseverance rather than good fortune. You have a natural shrewdness and
instinct for business or organizational management.
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 have a very active and fertile imagination and your ambitions are never strictly mundane, practical, and
concrete. You have a strong desire to act out your fantasies, dreams, visions, and ideals. Artistic creation, drama,
or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. Ordinary life seems drab
and uninteresting to you, and you need to have some big dream or something larger than your own narrow
personal interests to live for. Sometimes you may be confused about exactly how and where to direct your
energy and often drift along rather than making clear decisions about what you want. You have a passive side
and at times lack the will power, physical energy, strength, and the fighting spirit to achieve your aims.
You are very inspirational, but may lack the energy to put your ideas into action. You are inclined to feel tired
a lot and may not have enough push to follow through. You can be rebellious at times, but you know your
limits.
Eccentric, individualistic and very excitable, you can create a stir wherever you go. If you are not careful, you
could often find yourself involved in quarrels or even violent assaults. To avoid trouble, it would be wise for
you to learn to deal with others without anger.
Your attunement to the intangible or unseen world is very strong. Thus, your drive and ambitions in life are
apt to be colored by your subtle awareness, your mystical or intuitive sensitivity. Imagination, "make believe",
creative fantasy, and the ability to visualize may be aspects of your career, also. You have the ability to
"channel" healing or inspirational messages.
You really want to make your mark on the world in some way, to achieve stature and recognition for your
contributions, and you're not willing to take a back seat -- at least not for very long. In order to achieve your
aims, though, you'll have to compromise and "give" more than you may be willing to. Thus, conflicts with
others, particularly important men in your life, may arise. To accomplish your goals, you may have to put aside
some of your self-centeredness, and learn from these men! However, you may also be required at some point to
make a break in order to stand on your own and fulfill your own destiny.
Your profession is apt to be related to children, women, consulting, nourishing, or to the use of your
nurturing, emotional, childlike qualities in appealing to the public in some way. You do well in any business
that involves responding to people's emotional needs and tastes.
10

The road to success, professional advancement, and fulfillment of your long-range goals is apt to be easier
and smoother for you than for many. Partly this is due to getting a great deal of support -- financial, emotional,
or both. Probably someone early in your life really believed in you and had high expectations for you. You
contribute to your own success by having large goals, and by including, helping and enlisting the aid of friends
and others in reaching those goals. A lack of selfishness or pettiness is a great boon to you. Whatever you do is
apt to be expansive and eventually quite prosperous.
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 are kind-hearted, social-minded and very popular. You know what you want and have the necessary
confidence to succeed. Future oriented, you live in the joy of expectation. You are satisfied with yourself, are
honest and always ready to lend a helping hand.
You are very ambitious, diligent and industrious and seem to be blessed with a good dose of luck. You tend to
succeed with your objectives on a big scale and can expect advantages, advancements and promotions in your
occupation.

Chapter 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 drawn to social work, the ministry, giving your time and energy to charitable organizations, or to
serving and helping the disadvantaged in some way. Your generosity and unselfishness will bring you and
others much good.
Your sensitivity to the larger social context of a project gives you the perspective to discern good
opportunities and attract successful pursuits. You are likely to achieve a high level of success in your career or
business.
You have a great, wide-open sense of possibilities which allows extraordinary, even miraculous events to
come into your life. A sense of divine grace, of being part of the flow of the universe, of communing with
celestial realms or Beings, are all very natural to you. At the same time, you're not apt to go to extremes or lose
your sense of perspective. You are also quite altruistic and giving, and ready to aid less fortunate people. A
sense of gratitude and spiritual wealth is one of your finest attributes.

Chapter 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.
Your attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On
the one hand, you may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented
to you. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, you may tenaciously cling to
your grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and
receptive to others' insights and perspectives.
Your overall outlook on life is serious, and you may feel that life or God will punish you if you do not watch
your step!
You have an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by
limitations and practical realities. You need to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve your
aspirations. You will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.
Your emotional life is likely to be somewhat strained and you have a tendency toward pessimism. You may
not feel as close to your loved ones as you would like to be, and it could be difficult for you to give and receive
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 gain by becoming more aware of the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world, learning to slow down
and allow life to unfold in its own time. Nurturing a garden, a child, or some other living, growing thing gives
you a sense of inner balance.
You have a tendency to be deeply suspicious, to not take anything at face value, to see hidden agendas and
dark motives even where none exist! Life does not have to be conflict all the time... learn to accept things as
they are.
You also need to develop patience, peace and stability by grounding yourself in your daily work and acting in
a consistent and reliable way towards others.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in your immediate, direct encounters with others.
There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within you between acting spontaneously and being true to yourself
versus modifying yourself or your behavior to suit others. You seesaw between being inordinately concerned
with self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about you. Learning
to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is your task.
The 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.
13

Give and receive affection, love, and pleasure (especially using the qualities described previously). Learn to
respond to, appreciate, and create beauty, art, harmonious surroundings and relationships. Be aware of aesthetics
and do things in a gracious, pleasing manner. Enjoy life, nurture friendships, and cultivate your ability to love
and to receive love.

Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination

Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive
You are unconventional, even iconoclastic, in your attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics. You
tend to see traditional religion as restrictive, meaningless ritual with little to offer you, and you're eager to
experiment with other, alternative pathways. You have lots of creative, innovative ideas and you often feel that
others are unwilling to take risks and venture out of their deeply ingrained perspectives and views.
You love to dream, fantasize, and speculate. You are willing to entertain the most far fetched ideas and
philosophies, since to you anything is possible.
Anything exotic, alien, or faraway holds a great attraction for you. You can have very otherworldly beliefs
which are quite impractical and irrelevant to your everyday existence.
Emotional intensity, compulsive attraction, and a sense of fate or destiny characterize your one-to-one
relationships. It's as if you simply cannot have light, superficial relationships; they are inevitably profound,
intense experiences which reveal your depths to you. You may be drawn to powerful, charismatic, willful
people that challenge, thwart, and ultimately evoke your own power and strengths. Your marriage is likely to be
the arena for your greatest growth.
There seems to be a nervous unrest about you, and you tend to be somewhat irritable and easily excitable.
Others may consider your views of the world a bit peculiar, as your grasp of reality is apt to be a little confusing.
Emotionally excitable, you have a desire to attain your objectives at all cost and apply your greatest efforts in
order to succeed. Having spent too much energy pursuing personal goals, at times you may feel cut off from
everyone, resulting in loneliness.

Chapter 10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group

In this chapter we will discuss characteristics and traits of your generation. Of course, you may not share all
of the characteristics of your generation, but you are greatly affected by the tone that is set by your generation.
The first topic is "The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group". In this section we will
describe a deeply felt urge, even compulsion, of your age group. This deeply felt drive comes to the surface with
great force and power, and consequently leaves in its wake considerable upheaval and change. The second topic
is "The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group", that describes the dreams, fantasies, and spiritual aspirations
of your age group. The third and last topic is "What is New and Different in Your Age Group", which describes
areas in which your age group tends to be innovative, inventive, unusual, and also where it may be unstable and
unreliable.
The characteristics described below may affect a group of people for anywhere from a few years to about 30
years. There are one or more different astrological factors described in each of the three sections below.
The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group
You are part of a 12 year group of people who have a complex and deep emotional side. Your age group has a
great fascination for the mysteries of life, and members of your age group will make extraordinary
breakthroughs in the understanding of life processes; major advances in biological sciences will open up new
technological possibilities. Intensive probing into genetic structure and cellular processes will accelerate genetic
engineering into new vistas. Your generation also probes the mysteries of birth and death, and members of your
age group will even develop laboratories for forging new understanding of what happens at birth and death.
Other breakthroughs will be made in the understanding of animal behavior and sexual activity. Archeological
studies will unearth vast new insights into the history of man, and the exploration of the ocean will receive a
new impetus, spurred by unusual and interesting findings made at the bottom of the sea.
Behind all of this work is the deep, probing, penetrating interest in the mysterious. There is a deep fascination
with sex, power, and the occult as well. Hypnosis, karate, and other mental and physical training techniques are
likely to be very popular with your age group. The love of mystery is also likely to bring a revival of mystery
novels and movies; your age group will bring the macabre into current fashion and style.
You are an emotionally complex group, and you can be prone to some very strange behavior. Intrigue and
mystery are exciting to your age group, and hopefully this does not get the better of you, causing you to act in a
cruel or grotesque manner. There is a chance that crime, violence, and emotional disturbance will be relatively
high in your age group, but hopefully your interest in the mysterious, strange, grotesque, and macabre will not
manifest in this way.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people who are conservative and traditional in spiritual aspirations and
religious outlook. Your age group returns to some traditional basics in religion, and also traditional styles in
music and art. Classical music and literature have a revival with your age group, and a great deal of inspiration
is gained from the masters of arts, music, literature, and philosophy throughout history. Your age group is
contemplative and reflective about religious matters and you take an objective and logical approach to religious
issues. Many of you are cynics and critics of spiritual and metaphysical ideas.
Other age groups criticize your group for not having enough heart and compassion. Sometimes this is true and
is evidenced by some unusually crafty and manipulative fraud and deception that occurs in the higher ranks of
governments and large businesses.
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 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.
