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.
Air
Element is Strong (F,E,A,W Scores = 7,10,24,8):
You have a great capacity to relate to,
appreciate, and understand different people and points of view, and you tend to
be quite liberal in your attitudes. You are primarily a thinking person who requires
much intellectual and social stimulation, conversation, and interaction. You
comprehend abstract reasoning and concepts very quickly and like ideas,
language, and culture. You can't imagine being happy in a world without books,
films, or interesting companions.
There is an androgynous quality to you, and you
relate equally well to men and women, having both male and female
characteristics in nearly equal measure yourself. You tend to see someone as a person
first, rather than identifying them solely with their gender.
Friendship is very important to your sense of
well-being. You thrive on camaraderie, teamwork, social participation and
sharing. However, you are also quite objective about them and there is often a
touch of impersonality or detachment to your relations with others.
Your mind is your real gift: thinking clearly,
logically, and creatively, planning and organizing efficiently, and
communicating intelligently. However, you tend to live in your head - reading
about, talking about, and observing life without becoming completely immersed
in it. Avoid becoming a dabbler. You need to develop constancy, stability, and
depth.
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.
Aquarius
Rising:
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.
Sun
Conjunct Asc.:
You appear confident and self-assured and you
make a clear, strong impression on others. You are very concerned with the
impact you make on others and with getting personal recognition, sometimes too
much so. You tend to dominate in relationships and to be oblivious to others'
points of view if they differ very much from your own.
Mars
Trine Asc.:
You are direct, honest, and to the point
-- some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who you are or
what you want -- you're pretty much up front. You radiate a refreshing
enthusiasm and vigor when you're at your best. You seem to enjoy competition
without taking it terribly seriously.
Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your
Real Motivation
Ascendant in Aquarius and Sun in Aquarius:
Many of the traits described in Chapter 2 are
emphasized again below. Be especially wary of the tendency to be oblivious to
the personal feelings of others because otherwise you sometimes hurt others'
feelings without realizing it.
Sun in
Aquarius:
You are a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and
independent-minded individual, and you insist upon living your own life as you
see fit, even if that means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal
relationships you cannot be owned or possessed, and while you are willing to
share yourself with another, you do not always adjust easily to the emotional
give and take of a close relationship. Though intellectually open, you can be
enormously stubborn, opinionated, and inflexible on a one-to-one level. You
have strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and you try
to live by your ideals, but your ideals about how people SHOULD treat one
another don't always take into account human weaknesses, differences, and
needs. You probably dislike sentimentality and traditional gender roles and
"games".
You are fair, intelligent, objective, rational
and often let your head rule rather than your heart. You seem rather
self-sufficient and detached emotionally because you are capable of putting
aside your personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once you
make up your mind on an issue, you are difficult to sway and can be rather
dogmatic.
You think in broad terms and are concerned with
the world beyond your own personal sphere - your town, nation, or even planet.
You are likely to become involved in community affairs, social organizations,
and groups of all kinds, or to have a keen interest in such. You enjoy being part
of a group endeavor and often find yourself organizing, managing, or
supervising group activities.
Forward-looking and progressive, you harbor
great hopes for the future. You stay current and up to date, and respond to contemporary
cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and in terms of ideas. When
young you were very influenced by your peers and by group pressures and by all
the "latest crazes". You have an experimental mind and are attracted
by the novel.
Your strong points include
your concern for human welfare and social betterment, your sense of fairness
and democratic spirit, and your vision. Your faults are your stubbornness and
inflexibility, and a tendency to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes
to personal feelings and human needs.
Sun in
1st house:
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.
Sun
Trine Mars:
You are positive, vital, energetic, active, a
go-getter. You enjoy competition,
and your initiative and self-confidence make you a winner.
Sun
Conjunct Moon/Jupiter
You might be called the eternal optimist and
have a very peace-loving nature. You seem to be happy and content, generous and
popular in social circles. You also have a good sense for business and like to
carry out enterprises on a large scale.
Chapter 4: Mental Interests and
Abilities
Mercury in Pisces:
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.
Mercury
in 1st house:
You are quite verbal and communicative and
eager to get your own ideas and opinions across to others. You say what is on
your mind. Others see you as a lively, intelligent person, and perhaps
something of a chatterbox at times.
Mercury
Trine Uranus:
Independent and freethinking, you dislike being
told what to do and how to do it, and you especially do not like being told how
to think, for you insist on discovering your own truth. You do well in a rather
unstructured environment that allows you to make your own decisions and to
respond to the needs of the moment, rather than following a routine,
standardized way of doing things. You are also suited to a fast-paced
atmosphere, which you find exciting and stimulating. Your mind functions in an
intuitive, nonlinear fashion and sudden insights and flashes of inspiration
often come to you "out of the blue". You have an aptitude for science
and new technologies especially interest you. You also have a penchant for
astrology or other esoteric sciences.
Mercury
Square Neptune:
Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and
you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed
daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in "your own
little world" a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to
other people and you have an uncanny ability to "read" people and
situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to
discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning
to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your
creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.
Communication with others is difficult for you
because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your
experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive
others.
Mercury
Conjunct Pluto:
Suspicious that appearances are superficial and
masking the "real nitty-gritty", you are always probing beneath the
surface to uncover the deeper, hidden aspects of a matter. You are interested
in anything secret or mysterious. You have great powers of concentration and a
penetrating mind, with an aptitude for research, investigative reporting, or
detective work. You are also keenly observant and seem to have "x-ray
vision" regarding the inner motivations and intentions of other people.
You could make an excellent psychotherapist, uncovering the deeper causes and
roots of a person's emotional problems. You may also be drawn to esoteric or
occult studies and the development of unusual mental powers. Stories of
mystery, intrigue, and espionage fascinate you.
Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods,
Feelings, Romance
Moon in Capricorn:
Serious and responsible, you try to carry the
world on your shoulders and rarely let others know that you need help and
support. You deny or ignore your own emotional needs and feel that others will
not accept you if you appear "weak". You are especially uncomfortable
with emotional dependency, and will tell yourself and others (even children) not
to be a "baby". You need to accept that no one is self-sufficient all
the time, and to be gentler with your "childish" emotional needs and
wants. To others, you may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a
businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no
one is a truer friend. Your feelings and loyalties run deep, but you often do
not let people know how much you care. You also need to learn to relax, enjoy
yourself, and play sometimes.
Moon in
12th house:
Your own feelings and emotions are
something of an enigma to you, and it is often difficult for you to share with
others what you are feeling.
You frequently withdraw from contact with
the world, and need a healing, peaceful environment in order to blossom and
come out of yourself.
You identify with the oppressed,
disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and want to help them or care for
them in some way.
Moon
Square Mars:
You are temperamental and impatient and can be
very difficult to live with. You tend to respond with a temper tantrum (overt
or subtle) if your desires are frustrated. You become very irritable and
bad-tempered if you do not have enough vigorous physical activities or other
outlets for your aggressive, feisty spirit.
Moon
Conjunct Jupiter/Saturn
You are subject to changing moods and tend to
alternate between associating with others and being completely alone, seeking
to regenerate yourself in solitude. You seem to be too critical of yourself and
tend to generate distance between yourself and others.
Moon
Conjunct Pluto/MC
You possess a certain inner greatness and
because of your inner qualities, you have the ability to influence others.
People look to you for guidance and advice, and your leadership is easily
accepted by those with whom you come in contact.
Venus
in Aries:
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.
Venus in
1st house:
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.
Venus
Trine Saturn:
Loyalty, fidelity, and security are very important
to you in love. You are cautious about giving your heart away but true to the
one who does win your love. Your tastes are simple, even austere, and you do
not appreciate frivolity. You are interested in a person's character and inner
qualities far more than their appearance. Casual or superficial relationships
don't interest you at all, for love seems to get deeper and richer and more
satisfying for you with time.
Venus
aspects Saturn and Uranus:
When it comes to love, you are apt to feel pulled
in several directions at once. In addition to your desire for depth and for
security in your relationships, you have an impulsive side and need a lot of
variety and excitement, as discussed in the following paragraphs. These urges
do not have to conflict, but they certainly can, especially if you act on your
spontaneous impulses without much consideration for their long-term effects on
your personal life.
Venus
Quincunx Uranus:
While you may seek loving companionship
and an "everlasting" love, this is not easy for you to find -- or more precisely, to sustain. When you become romantically
involved with someone, either you or the other person will create rifts once a
certain level of comfort and predictability has been achieved. Even if there is
no outward break in the relationship, a certain emotional aloofness or
dissatisfaction is apt to develop. This is because you really want both
closeness and absolute freedom --a
combination that is difficult to attain. However, if you do not at least attempt
to honestly fulfill both of these urges, events seemingly out of the blue will
wreak havoc in your closest relationships.
Venus
Trine Neptune:
Sensitive and compassionate, you tend to be the
"giver" in any relationship. You have high ideals and a refined
attitude towards love, seeking to relate in ways that are beyond ego needs and
selfishness. You are attracted to people with artistic or mystical
inclinations.
Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition:
How You Achieve Your Goals
Mars in Libra:
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.
Mars in
8th house:
You
meet numerous challenges and possibly defeats in pursuit of your goals and
desires, and your setbacks often occur because you've been too rash or intent
on working your own will regardless of the impact on others. You are intense
and passionate, and simply don't know when to stop sometimes! Recklessness with
others can be a problem for you.
MC
Conjunct Saturn:
Your role in life is apt to be one of
great responsibility and you take your tasks very seriously. A certain
heaviness weighs on you because of this. You may have been unusually ambitious
or mature at a tender age. You advance and attain your aspirations through
dedication and perseverance, rather than fortune.
MC
Conjunct Neptune:
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.
Mercury
Square MC:
To achieve your long-range goals and
ambitions, the process must be interesting and mentally stimulating, as you get
bored with work that isn't challenging intellectually. You need variety and
social stimulation as well. One problem you may have is saying the wrong thing
at the wrong time, or to the wrong person. You need to watch your words. Your
tongue or even your sense of humor can get you in trouble with superiors at
times.
Venus
Trine MC:
In many ways your rise in the world is an
easy one, aided by your personal charm and attractiveness, your ability to
please people, and your excellent social instincts. Artistic ambitions are also
an aspect of this.
Chapter 7: Growth and
Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
Jupiter in Pisces:
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.
Jupiter
in 1st house:
You have an optimistic outlook on life and
to others you appear jovial, confident, and expansive. You do what you can to
be encouraging and helpful to other people, and your generosity and lack of
pettiness makes you very well-liked.
Because you see yourself as a lucky
person, you may feel that you can "get away with anything", without
negative consequences. You tend to go to excess and have little sense of
moderation (or even caution, at times).
Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge
You Or Are Difficult For You
Saturn in Sagittarius:
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.
Saturn
in 9th house:
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!
Saturn
Conjunct Neptune:
You take your ideals and dreams very seriously,
and you go through periods of fervent dedication to a lofty ideal or vision.
You have the ability to gain some real depth in spiritual or imaginative areas,
but you also can become so involved in your imaginative, idealistic pursuits
that you lose perspective and develop feelings of alienation and isolation from
others.
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.
N. Node
in Scorpio:
You are capable of withstanding outside
influences and remaining constant and steady on your path, but when under
stress you become downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no
matter how necessary or desirable the change is. Tenaciously trying to preserve
the status quo and hold on to what you have, you are apt to ignore the subtle
signals you receive about needing to do something differently which often leads
to some sort of crisis.
You need to learn the limits of your ability to
control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar,
in order to allow new life and growth to happen. "Letting go" is a
major life lesson for you. You also need to develop a balanced attitude toward
your appetites and desires, as you tend to overindulge and/or deny yourself
excessively.
N. Node
in 8th house:
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with
these issues is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular
where you and another have merged emotionally, legally, or financially. You
will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when
there is a mutual dependency on one another. Dealing with in-laws,
inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and
resources is also a part of this.
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.
N. Node
Conjunct Uranus:
Become more freethinking, be willing to
experiment and change, loosen your attachment to tradition and the known to
allow new developments to occur. Learn and get involved in an area where new
techniques, rapid changes and innovation is happening. Be one of the
avant-garde who is promoting such changes, whether this is in science, music,
or social relationships. You have to be willing to be different and perhaps
considered eccentric or odd.
Chapter 9: Originality and
Imagination
Areas Where You Are Creative,
Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive
Uranus in 8th house:
Your life is characterized by sudden disruptions
and events which change the direction of your life quite unexpectedly. You may
be impatient and reckless at certain times, impulsively acting out your urge
for new life and change. You are an emotionally complex person and you are
capable of intense, unexpected outbursts of feelings and desires.
If you share material assets and resources
with another person (as in a marriage or business partnership), your fortunes
are likely to fluctuate wildly or change quickly for better or worse.
Neptune
in 9th house:
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.
Pluto
in 1st house:
You are an intense person, inclined to be
wholeheartedly and passionately involved in whatever your current interest is.
You easily go to extremes and you make more moderate, easy-going souls feel
uncomfortable.
You may have unusual charisma and also be
profoundly influenced by powerful, charismatic figures whom you model yourself
after. Learning to use personal power appropriately is an issue for you.
Negatively, you can be manipulative and obsessed with personal aggrandizement.
Positively, you can be a potent force for change, growth, and healing in the
world.
Neptune
Conjunct Saturn/MC
Your thinking may be a bit unclear and you have
a tendency to feel lonely and distant from others periodically. Fears of your
own inadequacies may distort your perspective and at times you may feel that
you no longer have the strength to go on.
Pluto
Conjunct Venus/Asc.
You seem to have a powerful influence on
everyone and others are strongly attracted to you. You have a great need for
attention or flattery and may be a bit fanatic in love. Your love experiences
are likely to be very deep and intense.
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
Pluto in Pisces:
You are part of a 25 year group of people who
are highly imaginative and intuitive. Your age group has a deep, inner yearning
for a more idyllic life, and your rich imagination dreams up many ways to
attain these lofty goals. The yearning for a more perfect and beautiful world
sometimes leads to feelings of frustration with "the real world". It
is particularly difficult for those of your generation who have a difficult
childhood or lack the inner strength to adequately meet life's challenges;
consequently, increased alcoholism and drug use can easily develop.
Unique contributions to literature and music
abound in your generation. Spiritual and religious aspiration is also high.
Your generation is driven by less tangible things then other generations. Spiritual
aspirations, artistic inspirations, hopes, and fantasies are the driving power
behind your age group.
Uranus
Trine Pluto:
You were also born during a period that lasted
approximately 5 years and is characterized by a very dynamic and competitive
spirit. From your age group come many reformers and dynamic personalities who
introduce fundamental changes in every area of life, whether it be science,
politics, etc. You are part of a dynamic wave of highly spirited individuals
who are very progressive. You have the opportunity to be part of efforts to
introduce a great deal of reform, most of which will be positive and
constructive.
The Ideals and Illusions of
Your Age Group
Neptune in Sagittarius:
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

fantasizing and speculation that is taken more seriously than it should be.

Your Age Group
Uranus in Scorpio:
You are part of a 7 year group of people who
break up all manner of taboos regarding death, sex, and any other personal,
private, or difficult topics. Your age group is less modest about sex than other
age groups and promiscuity is not uncommon. You love emotional intensity, and
there are many extremists and fanatics in your age group.
