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

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

Chapter 1: General Characteristics

Your fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological
elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration,
enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water
(emotional needs and feelings).
Your "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and
if you are lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that you need to consciously
develop that aspect of yourself to learn to appreciate and/or to work harder in that dimension of life.
Sometimes we overvalue the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves,
but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more
detail in the following chapters.
You prize personal independence and autonomy so much that you're apt to downplay your needs for closeness
and caring. While you express indignation, anger, excitement, or enthusiasm rather freely, you hide your
feelings of sadness or inadequacy. You may dismiss your own and others' feelings as insignificant and
unimportant. Letting others know when you are hurting and need their support and help is hard for you because
you feel that they will not respect you if you display this sort of vulnerability.
Striving to be (and often believing yourself to be) emotionally self-sufficient limits your ability to be truly
intimate with others and to get the nurturing you need. You are also often rather insensitive to how your
behavior affects other people.
As you will read in the next chapter, you are able to sufficiently detach yourself from your own self-centered
aims and desires to take an active interest in other people. You are actually quite social and frequently moderate
your egocentric tendencies in order to accommodate others' viewpoints.

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.
Forward-looking and progressive, you are a person who supports change, innovation, and human
advancement, and you are often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. You are
extremely aware of the interconnection and interdependence of all people, and are always relating personal
issues to some larger framework. You see the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and you wish
to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to your community or group.
The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, social justice, etc. color your whole outlook and
approach to life. You are truly interested in the good of the whole and not only your own personal well-being.
Sometimes you may overlook or ignore your own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially
if they do not conform to your ideals of how one SHOULD feel or act. Though you have little patience for
conservative narrow-mindedness, you yourself are sometimes dogmatic about your beliefs and ideologies.
You are attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and you are
eclectic and cosmopolitan in your tastes. You may consider yourself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a
narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. You are strongly influenced by
your peer group and the flavor of the times in which you grew up, more so than by parental or family influences.
You are involved and active in groups, community efforts, cultural and progressive movements.
On a personal level, you are friendly and express a kind of impersonal good will towards others. You
probably have many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of your closeness with others is based
on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see you as a good friend and
comrade, who is objective, fair, and rather detached emotionally. You do not often show your emotions, and
may be unsure how to respond to others' emotional expression, for you tend to be very rational.
You are also very independent and refuse to be possessed by any individual. You are not comfortable with
traditional sexual roles and are inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child
rearing responsibilities, etc. You need to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved
with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal sharing may take a back
seat to your work or outside social activities.
You appear to be sweet to other people, and you know how to use charm, persuasion, and affection rather
than more direct (but possibly disagreeable) methods to get your point across. Being overly concerned with
appearances and surface beauty is possible. If so, you may seem vain and narcissistic to others also.
You seem quirky, unusual, offbeat and "different". Sometimes it seems you are trying to provoke people and
upset the status quo just by being yourself. You tend to be restless, excitable, and somewhat ungrounded or
nervous as well.
There is a certain intensity, charisma, or compelling attractiveness about you that may have little to do with
your physical features. It's an energy, a subtle sexuality, that you emanate. Also, you tend to do everything
wholeheartedly and with passion, which is quite fascinating to other people. Your instincts and psychological
perceptions about others are quite incisive.
5

You can get by in life almost by personality alone. There is a radiant, warm, attractive quality about you that
others can't help responding to favorably. Usually you appear confident and clear about who you are, and it's
very difficult not to notice you or feel your influence when you are around.
You tend to blend in with and take on the characteristics of the people in your surroundings, and may thus
not make a powerful individual statement of your own. You may project an aura of glamour or "make-believe",
and enjoy trying on different personalities at different times.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

Your appearance and the way you come across to others (as described in the previous chapter) is very
congruent with your true nature (described below). You are very idealistic, and a great lover of space and
freedom.
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, freedomloving, 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.
Your career, reputation, and public image are very important to you. You have a strong desire to be
influential or make your mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy you; your ambitions
include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for your unique effort and gifts. You may
undervalue the personal or inner side of life.
Sensitive and imaginative, you are attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. You are
impressionable and receptive, and you often have experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational
mind. You have an abundance of dreams, visions, and longings, but do not always have the concentrated will
and stamina to make them concrete. Gentle, idealistic, and peace-loving, you often seek to avoid the hard
realities of life. You have an ethereal quality about you.
You undergo deep, transformative changes in your life with relative ease and a minimum of conscious
resistance. Because you don't avoid the depths, you have access to a lot of personal power and strength. Without
realizing it or seeking it, you're apt to have quite a potent effect on the people you come into contact with, even
superficially. Others sense that you're a force to be reckoned with.
You feel spiritually bonded with your friends, partners or associates. You are likely to have a good rapport
7

and harmony in your relationships with the opposite sex and enjoy spending time with your partner.
Both sensitive and sensuous, you blend charm and energy. You have a healthy sexuality and a good balance
between activity and passivity. You may be fond of singing, dancing, music and drama. Romance comes easily
to you, and your romantic relationships are passionate.

Chapter 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 think a great deal about your career, your reputation and public image, and the way you make a
contribution or impact on the world at large. Public speaking or communications of some other kind is likely to
be an important aspect of the work you do.
Your mind does not function in a linear, logical manner and you are often unable to express your thoughts in
simple, everyday language. Symbols, images, art, or music better express your ideas. Flights of imagination and
fantasy carry you into strange and beautiful worlds, and you could develop the ability to transcribe some of your
perceptions to share with others, for example, by writing fantasy, fiction, lyrics, or poetry. You are sensitive to
nuances and possess intuitive or psychic gifts, but you may become confused between imagination and true
perception. You have a strong mystical and idealistic bent, and have difficulty concentrating your attention on
practical or mundane activities. You are strongly attracted to metaphysical and spiritual topics.
You have a tendency to dwell upon your basic ego needs and want to plan everything out before acting.
Others may see you as being all thought and no action, but the plans you make are more likely to be in keeping
with your real inner desires.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance

Even-tempered and peace-loving, you are not easily ruffled and are rarely given to emotional displays. You
have a calming effect on more high-strung or volatile people, and an emotional steadiness that others find
soothing. Though gentle and not easily provoked, you are tremendously stubborn and will resist any change
which requires an emotional adjustment, such as changes in your home life or marriage.
You seek security and loyalty in love, are extremely devoted to your loved ones, and provide a warm,
nurturing atmosphere for them. However, you tend to cling and seek to keep others from changing.
A great deal of physical affection, closeness, and touching is essential to your well-being, and you have a
tendency to overindulge in sensual comforts and pleasures. At times you substitute food for emotional comfort
and love.
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 think big and are insatiably curious. You are interested in many fields, are talkative and a pleasant
conversationalist. Kind, easy-going and optimistic, you have good comprehension and excellent command of
language.
You are reserved and shy and your thinking is controlled and somewhat slow. When talking, you sometimes
may have the feeling that the words get stuck in your throat. Because of your disciplined mind, you are able to
concentrate easily.
Your sense of reality is a bit weak; you tend to daydream and lose yourself in your plans. You are likely to be
preoccupied with fantasies or ideas that help you escape the ordinary. Always looking for ideal contacts, you
may be drawn to philanthropic associations.
You tend to be a bit pessimistic and are inclined to feel emotional depressed a lot. You may feel like
withdrawing from everything, but should try to listen to others' point of view in order to balance your overly
pessimistic views.
In love, you seek companionship and friendship with someone who is fun-loving, playful, and open to
adventure and new experiences. You enjoy traveling together, meeting new people, making new friends.
Honeymooning in a distant place appeals to you, and you are also attracted to foreigners or someone with a
totally different background than yourself. You support your partner in taking risks and making positive
changes, rather than preserving the status quo. You also very much want a partner who will encourage your own
aspirations and dreams. It is very important to you that you have a spiritual or intellectual rapport with your love
partner, perhaps more important than the emotional/physical relationship. You are not especially sentimental
and your love partner may feel that you are too casual and not serious or romantic enough.
You are attracted to foreigners, exotic places, traveling, and to people who can expand your horizons, teach
you something, or show you places and worlds you have never experienced before. Sharing a philosophy or
ideal with your love partner is important to you.
Also, you feel a love and kinship for people everywhere, not only with your own family, nationality, or
group. Finding similarities and making links between people from differing backgrounds or with different
perspectives is a gift of yours.
10

You are excitable, spontaneous, and easily aroused emotionally and sexually. You fall in love very quickly
and have little self-restraint or concern for propriety when your feelings have been stirred. However, it may be
difficult for you to sustain a relationship after the first rush of excitement wanes, especially if your partner is
basically a conservative person who does not like to change or experiment. Nontraditional relationships appeal
to you, and personal freedom is highly important to you.
You are rich in feelings and have the ability to express them well. You have a knack for making others feel
good and are likely to enjoy a harmonious sex-life. You also have a strong need to create and may have a flair
for designing fashionable clothes.
It may be hard for you to love someone and to express your love for them. There seems to be a wall built up
between you and others and you seem very cool to them. Your disposition is very reserved and withdrawn,
making it difficult for people to approach you.

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

You are 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 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.
You have a powerful will and when you want something, you pursue it passionately and relentlessly until you
achieve it. You may be so driven by your desire that you lose all objectivity. You often become compulsive,
even obsessed, with doing or achieving something, no matter what the costs or how hard you must work for it.
Your forcefulness may be veiled or subtle, for often you do not reveal your real aims and intentions to others
until they cross you. Intense power struggles and relationships with a strong dominance/submissiveness theme
are likely. You have enormous energy reserves, and are capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement if
you use your energies for constructive purposes.
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 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 a bit restless and always seem to be in motion. You probably had the desire to go your own way early
in life, wanting to learn from your own mistakes and experiences. Your plans for the future are far-reaching and
you may choose an unusual career.
You have a sense of beauty and a good understanding of art. You enjoy beautiful things and have the ability
to put your feelings into words. There is a light-hearted way about you, and you have a tendency to emulate the
momentary ideals of beauty.
Your disposition could seem a bit strange to others and you have a tendency to lose yourself in illusions. You
12

have a very dreamy nature and are inclined to fantasize about erotic and sexual situations.
You tend to be guided by inner vision and strong sub-conscious insight. You seem to have innate psychic
talents and others may consider you a bit strange because of your interest in the occult and spiritual doctrines.

Chapter 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.
You are a very sociable person, and you need to reach out and communicate with many different people. You
are interested in what others can teach you and are drawn to those with more knowledge or breadth of
experience than yourself. You expect a high level of integrity and sincerity from others and you do not tolerate
pettiness or hypocrisy in your close friends or marriage partner.
You also need freedom and want a partner who will support your need to keep learning and growing, who
will not limit you or set too many boundaries. Your marriage is likely to be very satisfying and rich.

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

You take your personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and
compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing. You may feel that relationships in general require more of
you than they are worth, and you enter into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. You also fear
entrapment in close relationships.
You take your commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Your
strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes you a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but you often
feel that marriage or any binding commitment between yourself and another person is too restrictive and
burdensome, and thus seek to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for you and it may
seem that you are always "working on" your marriage rather than enjoying it. You will persevere and ultimately
grow through the process, however.
Your aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. You pursue your
aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and you are willing to take your time, advancing slowly
and steadily on your way to your goal.
Sometimes you underestimate what is possible, and hold yourself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or
an overly cautious attitude.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which you instinctively and habitually revert to when under stress a mostly unconscious process and one which you are apt to overdo because it is so familiar and thus easy for
you. The direction you need to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also
described.
Your path lies in developing yourself as an individual, discovering your own strengths and joys, giving
expression to your uniqueness, and letting yourself shine and stand out from the crowd. This involve becoming
a leader, even though your instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under
stress you are apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, you may believe that striving to
do your personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but you should let go of this notion. Finding your own
center and doing what gives you delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution you can offer the world
at large.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in your work and in your relations with coworkers, employers, and employees. Integrating the qualities described above into your work and daily routine
will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.

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 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 tend to see life through rose-colored glasses and have a vivid imagination. Your inclination to daydream,
fantasize and pretend often could lead you to deceive yourself. A great visionary, you could be a good writer or
actor.

Chapter 10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group

In this chapter we will discuss characteristics and traits of your generation. Of course, you may not share all
of the characteristics of your generation, but you are greatly affected by the tone that is set by your generation.
The first topic is "The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group". In this section we will
describe a deeply felt urge, even compulsion, of your age group. This deeply felt drive comes to the surface with
great force and power, and consequently leaves in its wake considerable upheaval and change. The second topic
is "The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group", that describes the dreams, fantasies, and spiritual aspirations
of your age group. The third and last topic is "What is New and Different in Your Age Group", which describes
areas in which your age group tends to be innovative, inventive, unusual, and also where it may be unstable and
unreliable.
The characteristics described below may affect a group of people for anywhere from a few years to about 30
years. There are one or more different astrological factors described in each of the three sections below.
The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group
You are part of a 12 year group of people who are deeply interested in personal relationships. Your age group
has a deeply-rooted yearning to see people relating and communicating with each other effectively and
harmoniously. There is little egotism and a willingness to hear the other person's side of the story and a
readiness to compromise and arbitrate different points of view. In fact, the need for harmonious, peaceful
relationships is so strong that there is a tendency to overlook real differences and to focus only on the
similarities in an attempt to bring different parties into harmony with each other.
Interest in psychology and sociology is high in your age group. There is a tremendous heightening of
awareness of social skills. Your age group will experiment with different marriage styles, family relationships,
and even business relationships in an attempt to bring fair treatment and effective communication between
people. Interest and appreciation for other cultures is also strong, and your age group will work hard to preserve
and support the cultural heritage of all ethnic groups.
Your strong yearning for equitable and harmonious relationships is also reflected in major advancements in
trade agreements, arms control, and international cooperation that are designed and implemented by your
generation. These agreements and policies foster a much safer and more cooperative environment for all,
although there is also a tendency for greedy individuals to take advantage of the conciliatory atmosphere and
twist situations to their own ends.
In short, you are part of a generation of individuals who are deeply interested in other people; you are a
humanistic and humanitarian group. You will struggle and experiment with personal relationships, and forge
new models for how people can relate as friends, family members, and members of nations as well.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people that are extremely idealistic and farsighted in their dreams. Your
age group is very liberal and expansive in outlook, and consequently churches become much more flexible and
more eclectic in their approach during your life time. Religions that do not adapt to the broad-minded attitude of
your age group simply are unable to attract very much interest and involvement from you.
A great deal of metaphysical musing and speculation is evident in your age group, and there is a very strong
interest in all manner of psychic phenomena, UFO's, prophecy, etc. This interest will open many new doors and
insights, but will also often lead to a great deal of fantasizing and speculation that is taken more seriously than it
should be.
17

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.
