The interpretation of your astrology
chart
You will find that the interpretation of the 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.

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 value order and security in your life and prefer dealing with
known quantities, following clearly defined guidelines in order to achieve your
aims. Reason rather than emotion rules you, and you think in clear, practical,
no-nonsense terms. You are uncomfortable with ambiguity, emotional impulsiveness
or extremism, and things which cannot be explained in rational terms. Even
spiritual or mystical realms, if you have any interest in such things at all,
must have either some scientific basis or be proven to
you through your own experience and practice.
You think a situation through thoroughly before deciding upon a
course of action, assessing and analyzing the matter carefully, and can be
relied upon to come to a fair, reasonable, and sensible solution to whatever
confronts you.
You are able to handle practical matters very efficiently, using
both deductive reasoning ability and manual skill. However, it is easy for you
to become overly "adult" and to lose touch with the spontaneous,
playful, vibrant, and childlike side of yourself. You can become too organized
and controlled, not allowing your emotions or creative, playful impulses full
expression, and a certain dryness or emptiness will result. You need to learn
to appreciate a
certain degree of "creative chaos"!
You have difficulty dealing with your own and others' emotions.
Feelings and the emotional reality of a situation are often ignored or
discounted by you and you may thus seem insensitive or uncaring to others. Deep
emotional rapport, empathy, compassion, and sensitivity to the feelings of
others is something that you need to develop, and will be in more evidence
later in life rather than
in your youth.
Though you may appear emotionally self-sufficient or above it
all, your denied feelings can result in physical problems, so it is wise and
important for you to learn to acknowledge and express all of your emotions.
You may also find that you crave a great deal of liquid, or to
live near bodies of water, as a way to gain balance.

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 are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always
willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see the other side of an
issue. Even if you strongly disagree with someone, you will try to find points
of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. You often
avoid taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. You have a strong
desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and express a spirit of
cooperation, compromise,
friendship, and fairness. You very much want to be liked and because of your
need for approval and acceptance, you are easily influenced by others'
opinions, especially when young. You so much want to please that often you will
suppress your own intense or unpleasant feelings in order not to offend others.
Sometimes your politeness is interpreted as being phony.
Your need to create harmony extends to your physical environment
and personal appearance as well. You appreciate beauty and have a natural sense
of balance, symmetry, and proportion. You do everything in good taste, with a
sense of style and art. From your home furnishings to your choice of clothing,
everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or
utilitarian.
You also feel that relationships are an art, one that especially
interests you and one that you are usually quite skilled at, for you possess
tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to you
and finding the right person to share your life with is extremely important.
Being part of a close couple seems natural to you - you are not an independent
loner. Having a
partner increases your self-confidence. You do have a tendency, however, to
become overly dependent on your partner. Finding the balance between being
yourself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for you.
Others see you as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and
"nice" person. Though there may be much more to you, this is the sort
of face you show to the world. You possess personal charm and an understated,
noncombative manner. Your motto could be "you catch more flies with honey
than with vinegar" for you usually take a friendly, cooperative approach
rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.
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.
Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is
a youthfulness about your manner and appearance
regardless of your chronological age. You also always appear busy and active,
and somewhat restless. You need mental stimulation from your environment, or
you will rapidly get bored.
You are assertive and bold. You are willing to be the first
person to speak up and make your position known, and to strike out on your own
if necessary. You generally get along better with men than with women because
your approach is quite direct and sometimes tactless and insensitive as well.
You can be a bit too forceful. However, your boldness is your calling card, and
most people feel that you can at least be trusted to be honest with them.
You have a very congenial personality and are at peace and
harmony with the world around you. Your personal relationships tend to be very
harmonious and you are likely to find great satisfaction and fulfillment in
love as well.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Although you come across in a very
gracious, tactful, and considerate manner (as described in the previous
chapter), you also hold some very definite points of view. When people get to
know you more than superficially your willfulness and strong opinions can
surprise them.
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 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.
You are a private person and inclined to withdraw in very
public and impersonal social settings. You prefer to work at home or in a very
personal business.
You invest a lot of your creative energy into your home,
your family, and your inner life.
You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a
grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to
misjudge through being overly optimistic. However, you never lose your hopes
for the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and
limitations in life can be troublesome for you.
However you also have a heavier side which keeps your optimism
from becoming
ungrounded or overblown. You tend to seesaw between your faith, vision and high
aspirations, and your caution and realism (or fear!). You cannot and do not
rely on good luck or grace alone, and you accept the need for hard work. Your
doubting or "heavy" side is described below.
Feelings of personal inadequacy, inhibitions, and self-doubt
often plague you. You have a cautious, careful, realistic attitude toward life
and are highly
responsible and disciplined with regard to your obligations and duties. You
tend to work and struggle more than you need to, and to take yourself too seriously.
You are infused with a sense of personal destiny or mission, and
can be extremely driven, obsessed, and fanatical. Learning about power and how
to use it for good is definitely part of your path. You confront abusive power,
tyranny, and dominating people who will teach you about power, and eventually
force you to claim your own.
You have a restless and somewhat nervous manner and attract
attention through your initiative and originality. You are drawn to unusual
friends and acquaintances, and because of your confidence may be regarded as a
leader in your sphere.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
You are a progressive thinker, open and
receptive to new technologies and
breakthroughs in science and the arts, and the latest discoveries in any field.
You have high expectations and a deep belief that mankind's problems can be
solved through the use of our creative intelligence and inventive mind. You
have no patience for those whose conservative, unimaginative outlook limits
their capacity to find solutions and envision a better future. You also like to
keep abreast of current developments in world affairs, for you instinctively
know that what happens in one part of the world affects everyone. You have a
strong humanitarian impulse. Practically speaking, you have an aptitude for
organization and enjoy being involved in cooperative endeavors or businesses
that are contemporary and innovative.
You have an introspective turn of mind and may enjoy
keeping a journal or a record of your dreams and personal experiences, or
learning about psychology, history, and the inner workings and emotional
foundations of your own life. You are studious and something of a bookworm.
You have a sharp tongue and ready wit, and you enjoy
intellectual competition, problem solving, and demanding intellectual work. You
know how to drive your point home. You also possess quick reflexes and
dexterity and could be an excellent tennis or racquetball player. Anything
which involves a dynamic exchange between the players is a suitable arena for
you.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
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.
You often make decisions solely for emotional or personal
reasons, because
something "feels right" or because you've always done it a certain
way and you are uncomfortable changing it. Even when you think you're being
rational, your prejudices, intuitions, and feelings influence your thoughts a
great deal. You are comfortable talking about feelings and personal subjects,
and sharing confidences, which enables others to express their own inner
feelings with you
as well. You have good psychological insight into others.
You are 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 can sometimes become lazy and lackadaisical.
There is another side to you as well, a rather introverted,
self-contained, even pessimistic side which tempers your good cheer and
generosity, as discussed below.
You have an inner poise and balance that enables you to act in a
cool, efficient manner during emotional traumas and stress. You keep
perspective and objectivity about highly charged emotional issues - sometimes to
the chagrin of others who might wish that you would react more intensely. You
are
quietly supportive and faithful to your friends and loved ones.
You are definitely not one to wear your heart on your sleeve. You
care very much about others' opinions and crave love and appreciation
, but one would
never know it from your reserved and seemingly detached appearance. Casual,
superficial relationships don't interest you at all. You are cautious and
serious about love and really desire a deep, genuine, lasting love. You are
old-fashioned about courtship and love, and will remain faithful to your loved
one in good times and in bad.
You may be attracted to persons older than yourself, someone who
is emotionally mature and reliable and who can provide the emotional security
you desire.
Beautiful, elegant, and harmonious surroundings are very
important to you, and you have an innate sense of style, design, and form.
Socially, also, good form and politeness are important to you and you
instinctively avoid crudeness and dissonance.
You enjoy talking about love, relationships, art and the
beautiful side of
life. You appreciate artistic people.
You tend to make up your mind quickly in matters of love and
affection and may fall in love at first sight. Your expectations about romance
can be intense and you are inclined to exaggerate and could have arguments
about your loved ones.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You are aspiring, enterprising, and forever following some bright
and distant star, planning some new venture or investigating new potentials.
You are
definitely "upwardly mobile" in either a material or spiritual sense
(or both). You aim high and are not content simply with a quiet, secure
existence. You like to stretch your limits, to see how far you can go, and to
take risks. You are a positive thinker, expect success for yourself, and are
philosophical about failures. You are flexible and bounce back from
disappointment rather quickly, usually with another hopeful new idea you want
to try. Your enthusiasm and
confidence are contagious and enable you to enlist the aid and support you need
for your projects. However, you sometimes promise more than you can actually
achieve, because you are overly optimistic or pay insufficient attention to the
practicalities involved.
You also tend to get distracted and to have too many things going
at once. Although it is very difficult for you, there are times when you simply
must develop commitment, perseverance, and persistence in order to make your
dreams and goals a concrete reality. Too often you fall short of what you could
attain because you are unwilling to persist through the difficult or less
exciting times.
You also enjoy competition and usually do not take it too
seriously. Sports and entrepreneurial endeavors are good ways to channel your
energy.
You often buy things on impulse and you can be reckless
with your material resources and money. You have certain possessions that you
are extremely attached to and possessive of.
You are able to see your objectives in life very clearly and want
to create your own good fortune. Quite energetic, you may want to express
yourself creatively. Inviting good cooperation with others, you are likely to
achieve much popularity.
You tend to feel lonely and cut off from people. Feeling
defenseless and a lack of initiative, you have a tendency to give up too
easily. Because of your inner conflicts, you may have to deal with depression a
lot and may acquire a certain fear of the future.
You are attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual,
creative, or avant-garde, and which offer you a maximum amount of freedom and
independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not your cup of tea. You may
make your living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area
or talent, and you're happiest when you can create a place in the world for
your unique
combination of different talents and interests. It is hard and unnatural for
you
to try to fit yourself into a ready-made mold.
You feel that you know who you are and therefore are confident
that you can achieve your objectives. You may consider marriage as your sole
aim in life and could become completely bound up in your marriage and family
life.
You are very adaptable, and because of your tactful, obliging and
cordial manner, others like being around you. You love to be involved with
associations or societies in the pursuit of common interests.
You are inclined to be a bit eccentric, and difficulties with
members of your family or friends may cause you to feel depressed and alone
frequently. You may be drawn more to older people.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
Material comfort, security, and well-being are quite
important to you, and
you are not one to have your head in the clouds when financial matters and
future security are at stake. Your strengths are practicality, a love of the
earth, and the ability to take great delight in the sensual pleasures of the
natural world. Also, when you feel secure financially, you are likely
to be very generous and hospitable.
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.
You aim high, have great vision, and are never satisfied with
yourself unless you can achieve your goals in a big way. You are very
opportunistic and are always ready to capitalize on a good idea. You utilize
contacts with prominent and successful people to advantage, and are likely to
win yourself
an important and lucrative position in life.
Sensitive and inspirational, you have a vivid imagination and
spiritual perception. You may be interested in learning more about metaphysics
and spiritual teachings through studying the occult, religion, philosophy or
anything that provides greater insight into the meaning of life.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You either overvalue or undervalue your possessions and
assets. You can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires,
being either hedonistic or ascetic. You may deny yourself sensual pleasure and
enjoyment of the fruits of your labors. You may also be stingy and unable to
give freely. Many times you feel that you do not have "enough" to
make you feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) you have!
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.
Once you decide what you want to do, you will pursue it
tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for your deeply felt
convictions. This trait tends to make you feel a little out of step with
others. You take things a little more seriously and have an inclination to be a
bit of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so, so others may not know
how deeply you feel and
how driven you are about the things that are important to you. You have a deep
inner resolve and are willing to struggle to do the things that are really
meaningful to you, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in
life.
You are a bit skeptical, somewhat irritable, and others may think
of you as
quarrelsome or nagging. Your nervousness seems to stem from your tendency to
over-work yourself, and you should try not to make more demands on others than
they are able to handle.
Quite reserved and somewhat inhibited in associating with others,
you may feel that you are better off by yourself. You feel that you don't fit
in very well with people and find team-work in groups or associations difficult
to achieve.
Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which you instinctively
and habitually revert to when under stress - a mostly unconscious process and
one which you are apt to overdo because it is so familiar and thus easy for
you. The direction you need to follow in order to develop balance, greater
awareness,
and wholeness is also described.
Instinctively you are a fighter and an individualist who can
stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, you stand alone when you don't
need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have
to offer. You have a tendency to "reinvent the wheel"! - that is, to feel that you must be self reliant and that only
you can come up with the answers you need. Implicit in this attitude is a kind
of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach which at its worst can
alienate you from others, or make you feel that "it is me
versus the rest of the world".
Social skills and graces and what you call social
"games" are not really natural to you. You need to learn how to share
and join with others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in
a cooperative way.
The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is
deep within yourself, as you face your own demons, fears, and struggles - those
aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of yourself
or your life that you keep hidden from public view.
The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled
into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service, ministering to people in
need.
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.
Become more aware of the spiritual side of life, the underlying
unity, by involving yourself in generous and charitable activities, and by
opening up your psychic channels. Meditation practices that develop your
intuitive abilities, and learning about the unseen side of life through your
own dream experiences or altered states of awareness, can be important steps in
your path.
Also, musical and artistic or imaginative endeavors will be
important to you.
You co-operate well with others and have the ability to give and
receive stimulating suggestions. You are always receptive to new ideas and
ready for spontaneous group efforts. You seem to have an instant recall of
things and are likely to act just as quickly.

Chapter 9: Originality and ImaginationAreas Where You Are Creative, Unique,
Unstable, or Compulsive
Your life is characterized by sudden disruptions and events
which change the direction of your life quite unexpectedly. You may be
impatient and reckless at certain times, impulsively acting out your urge for
new life and change. You are an emotionally complex person and you are capable
of intense, unexpected outbursts of feelings and desires.
If you share material assets and resources with another
person (as in a
marriage or business partnership), your fortunes are likely to fluctuate wildly
or change quickly for better or worse.
Compassionate and extremely sensitive to the emotional
tones in the atmosphere surrounding you, you are naturally "psychic"
or able to sense and understand much about a person without talking to them or
knowing them consciously at all. You are deeply interested in the hidden realms
of life and the afterlife. Your powerful sensitivity may also remain latent or
repressed through much of your life and then be fully awakened in adulthood.
You have a powerful sense of destiny and may be unusually,
even ruthlessly, ambitious. There is a very driven, compulsive quality to the
way you pursue your career or other important life goals, which is likely to
win you both staunch admirers and vigorous opponents.
There is a very "radical" side to you, and you
may want to remake or change the world in some significant way. Depending on
other astrological factors in your chart and your own decisions, you can be
either very destructive or a powerful force for healing and positive change in
the world.
You tend to fantasize about romantic situations and have a strong
longing for love. You may look for partners who put you into a magical world of
beautiful illusions and could end in sudden disappointment when you find out
that your loved one is not what you fantasized.
You are high-strung, easily upset and strongly influenced by the
conditions in your environment. At times your blind enthusiasm could be
detrimental, but on the other hand, your urge to act could also be inhibited.
You seem to have doubts and fears, and a general distrust, inhibiting
you emotionally. You have a longing for distant places and things that are
beyond your reach. Insecurity and lack of belief in yourself
is apt to bring frequent states of depression.
You have the endurance and strength to reach success no matter
what difficulties you have to overcome. Your competitiveness could cause you to
automatically dominate most relationships and you want to be in control of
everything.

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
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 20 year period that is often referred to as the
"ME" generation, a generation that has a very proud and self-reliant
attitude. You are a generation that is very concerned with self-development and
personal integrity. Women's rights and minority rights are issues that your
generation has fostered and they reflect your concern with individual respect,
integrity, and honor. Your age group has a deeply felt sense that each person
has an equal right and opportunity to fully develop his or her inner
potential.
However, your group also finds it difficult to be part of a team
and a strong egotism makes group efforts difficult; you tend to see the
individual as more important than the group. You also defy authority and often
feel that no one has the right to tell you what to do. The strong movement to
refuse
drafting into the military is one example of your age group's strong sense of
individual rights and freedom.
Your age group has popularized the idea of self-development, and
has contributed a great deal to the development of individual potential as well
as human rights. However, there is also a tendency to be rather self-centered;
others may wonder how you can spend so much time developing yourselves and
have so little time to contribute to your families.
The interest in personal development also sometimes manifests as
a fascination with particular individuals and a great deal of hero worship.
Every generation, of course, has lots of idols, but your generation is
particularly prone to needing a specific individual to represent and embody an
idea or feeling, and to serve as a focal point of interest. Perhaps the most
extreme example of this is the concept of the guru that was popularized by your
age group.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of
people who are conservative and moderate in spiritual aspirations. Your age group
tends to avoid speculation on metaphysical matters, and interest in psychic
phenomena is considered very strange and weird by your age group. There is also
a strong sense of right and wrong, and religious
practices tend to emphasize ethics and moral judgment. The
conservative, straight-laced atmosphere generated by your age group is
frustrating to more imaginative types, who consequently rebelled against it.
What is New and Different in Your Age Group
You are part of a 7 year group of people who are very progressive
in business and practical matters, and implement scientific ideas in practical
ways to make life more comfortable. Home appliances, for example, were improved
and marketed by your age group to a much greater degree than was previously done.
Your age group is also rather sensual and romantic, and is
uninhibited in expressing romantic feelings. Your age group rebelled against
repressive attitudes towards sexuality, and promoted overt expression of
sexuality in movies, music, etc.
