    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.

 

Earth is Strong, Fire is Weak (F,E,A,W Scores = 3,27,6,13):

 

    You are prone to underestimate rather than overestimate your

own abilities and worth, and through your humility, to settle

for much less than you really want and are capable of. You may

think of yourself as ordinary, dull, or unexciting for you do

not like to take risks and you value safety and security over

adventure, stability over change.

 

    You do everything in a premeditated, orderly fashion and

tend to be rather serious. The responsible, rational, adult

aspect of you is quite strong and the spontaneous, carefree,

childlike side of yourself is less developed. You can be "all

work and no play".

 

    Developing self-confidence, enthusiasm, joy, generosity, and

a larger vision of what life is all about is important for you.

 

    Physically, you are apt to get cold rather easily and may

find that eating spicy foods, exercising vigorously, and being

out in the sunshine to be helpful.

 

Earth is Strong and Ascendant is in Water sign:

 

    You are not solely mundane, however. As you will read in the

following chapter, your basic earthly common sense is strongly

flavored and sometimes overrun by your moods, sympathies, and

deep instincts which at times may run counter to a purely

practical, cut and dry approach to a situation.

 

 

 

 

  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.

 

Cancer Rising:

 

    You appear gentle and soft, and you act rather reserved with

others until you know them well and feel it is safe to be open

with them. You have a strong need for emotional security and a

sense of belonging, and are deeply attached to the past: your

heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places,

etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is known and

safe can be very painful and difficult for you. You tend to

cling and hold on to people, memories, possessions of personal

or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is

very important to you.

 

    You approach life emotionally and subjectively and are

sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents

of feeling in and around you. Instinctive and nonrational, you

are often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for your

actions. Something FEELS right, or it doesn't.

 

    Your emotions and personal loyalties tend to color your

thoughts and opinions. You view life from a very personal

perspective and often cannot mentally detach yourself from your

own personal bias and prejudices. You are apt to be concerned

primarily with how something affects you and those dear and

close to you, rather than with the principle or the broader

social implications. For instance, you may be very patriotic and

feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really

knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view.

Put simply: if it is good for me and mine, it is good. If it is

not good for me and mine, it is no good.

 

    You are tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of

those you care about, and have a very strong nurturing, motherly

nature (regardless of your gender). You empathize with others

and intuitively sense the feelings and needs of other people.

Compassionate and sympathetic, you are easily moved by others'

pain, and you are often the one others seek out when they need

comfort, reassurance, or help.

 

    Your moods fluctuate and change frequently and you are

sometimes open, sometimes withdrawn emotionally. You communicate

nonverbally and appreciate a person who can pick up subtle cues

and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

 

    You never forget either kindness or unkindness shown to

you.

Pluto Conjunct Asc.:

 

    You are extremely willful, but often achieve your desires in

a quiet, secretive, or manipulative way. You may be intensely

charismatic and wield considerable influence over others, or you

may be attracted to such powerful, fascinating personalities.

You tend to go to extremes in whatever you do, to be compulsive,

and are driven by a sense of mission or destiny. You don't take

anything at face value and are always digging beneath the

surface for the deeper meaning or real motivations of others.

 

 

 

 

         Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

 

Ascendant in Cancer and Sun in Virgo:

 

    Although you are empathetic, sensitive, and responsive to

others' feelings and needs (as described in the previous

chapter), you also have a very clear-eyed, objective and

practical nature, described in more detail below. Because you

appear to be a softy, others may be surprised at your cool,

intelligent criticism and insights. Others may feel that you

swing from extremes of kind tenderheartedness to biting sarcasm.

 

    Your warm, caring side can combine with your perfectionism

to make you very effective in any service area because you have

the capacity to work with deep concern for the needs of others

as well as practically and efficiently.

 

Sun in Virgo:

 

    At heart you are modest and humble, and you rarely strive to

be in the limelight or in a position of power. You have a sharp

analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and you prefer to

observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious

and conservative, you can be relied upon to be careful,

efficient, and thorough in your work and you take pride in doing

a job well. What you may lack in self-confidence you often make

up for in skill - developing expertise, technical knowledge, and

competency in some specialized area. You are adept at using your

hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to

detail and careful craftsmanship are your forte. Some would say

you are a little TOO meticulous, for you can be extremely

critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as you

think it should be, and you worry about things that other people

consider trivial and unimportant. You like to organize,

categorize, and arrange everything into a logical system, and

you are often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not

fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes you. You

probably wish that you were not such a perfectionist, for

besides being a stickler for details, you can be mercilessly

self-critical as well. Whether in your environment or in

yourself, you tend to focus on the flaws, with a desire to

improve, refine, and perfect. You are strictly factual,

truthful, and scrupulously honest in your self-estimation, and

you often do not give yourself enough praise or credit.

 

    You are also highly discriminating and may be especially

particular about your diet, hygiene, and health habits. You have

high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and will be

bothered by elements in your surroundings (such as disorder,

cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. Your tastes are

simple, understated, but refined. Coarseness, bluntness, and

vulgarity really offend you. You can be difficult to live with

sometimes because of your fastidiousness, your sensitivity, and

your idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

 

    Though you seem rather cool and self-contained, you have a

very helpful nature and you enjoy serving others. You are

content to be in a supportive, assisting role rather than in the

lead. You are quietly devoted to the ones you care for.

 

    You are careful and cautious in your approach to life,

realistic, practical, and disinclined to gamble. You analyze

before you act. You are too serious sometimes. Allowing yourself

to play and to make mistakes would be HEALTHY for you!

 

Sun in 2nd house:

 

     Ownership gives you a sense of security, and you have a

strong attachment to your possessions. You also have a natural

instinct or understanding of economics, finance, trade, and

appraising the value of merchandise.

 

Sun Conjunct Neptune:

 

    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.

 

 

 

 

            Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities

 

Mercury in Virgo:

 

    You are an exacting perfectionist with a clear, logical,

analytical mind and an aptitude for work that requires

meticulous attention to detail and efficient organization.

Well-grounded and pragmatic, you tend to develop specialized

skills and technical expertise in some practical field.

Knowledge, ideas, and theories don't really interest you unless

they are useful in a tangible way. You are inclined to analyze,

measure, and dissect everything and to miss nuances, subtle

shades of feeling and meaning. Your strengths are in your

precise thinking, careful craftsmanship, and mastery of

technical skills. You tend to be very good at what you do and

critical of others' work if it does not meet your high

standards.

 

Mercury in 3rd house:

 

     Inquisitive and communicative, your mind seems to be "on"

all of the time and you are forever gathering information and

sharing ideas. Your attention span may be rather brief; you have

many and diverse interests, and are easily distracted. You learn

quickly, are eager to pass on what you are learning and thinking

about, and may talk excessively.

 

Moon Trine Mercury:

 

    You would be an excellent teacher or counselor for you

listen sympathetically, and encourage others to express their

inner thoughts and feelings. People trust and confide in you,

and you are able to read between the lines and to sense what

their feelings are as well as what they are saying. You work

well with and understand women, and the emotional, feminine side

of life. You are articulate on personal (rather than factual or

technical) subjects. Keeping a diary or journal would be

satisfying for you. You also have a talent for learning

languages.

 

Mercury Sextile Venus:

 

    You appreciate aesthetics and have a fine sense of form,

design, and beauty. You could develop great technical skill as

an artist, designer, craftsman, or creative writer. You could

also sell objects of beauty - artistic products, cosmetics,

jewelry, etc.

 

    You have the ability to please and harmonize well with

others and a talent for assuaging strain in the relationship of

two other people. Your sense of humor, tact, and personal charm

are a great benefit to you in any work with people on a

one-to-one level.

 

Mercury aspects Moon and Saturn:

 

    Although you are perceptive and attuned to the personal,

human side of any issue (as described above), you are also

capable of considerable intellectual detachment and objectivity.

You combine the qualities of being subjective and intuitive with

a rational, analytical approach. You have an introverted frame

of mind and you tend to dissect or deeply analyze your own and

other people's inner lives and experiences.

 

Mercury Square Saturn:

 

    You have an aptitude for solving difficult mental problems

due to your careful, methodical approach, attention to detail,

and tenacity in following a matter through to its conclusion.

You have good powers of concentration and enjoy studying and

thinking in solitude. You can get wrapped up entirely in your

own thoughts and completely engrossed in some small detail. You

are slow and cautious, but extremely thorough in your work.

Conservative and something of a skeptic, you may be

narrow-minded or closed to any idea which has no concrete proof

or scientific verification. You prefer dealing with facts rather

than abstract speculation. You may also be distrustful or

fearful of anything you cannot understand with your rational

mind. You are well-suited to work in research or any field that

requires careful study and thought.

 

 

 

 

          Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance

 

Moon in Taurus:

 

    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.

 

Moon in 11th house:

 

     You get a lot of emotional fulfillment through your

involvement in groups, clubs, organizations, community

activities, or a network of close friends who support and care

for you. You make friends your family, and feel a close kinship

with people who share some ideals or beliefs that you hold dear.

You need people outside of your physical family to relate to and

belong to.

 

Moon Sextile Venus:

 

     You genuinely appreciate and understand women, and are

likely to have many female friends, a network of women who love

and support you. It is relatively easy for you to attract

companionship and affection, and there will never be a lack of

either in your life. Children are very important to you also.

 

Moon Quincunx Saturn:

 

     You can be hard to get close to. Subconsciously you may

feel that too much closeness will interfere with doing what you

need to do and being your own person, so you put up subtle walls

and distance yourself when someone begins to want more of you

than you can comfortably give. However, you may cut off sources

of emotional nourishment and support that way, and end up

feeling alone and lonely. You might even develop digestive

problems. Overcoming your fears of intimacy, while at the same

time affirming and acting on your autonomous needs, is the

challenge here.

 

Moon Sextile Pluto:

 

     You have very deep feelings and profound attachments to

people you care about. Your relationship to your mother,

sisters, daughters, and other females in your life is apt to be

incredibly close and intense. You may be easily manipulated too,

when it comes to one of these important relationships, because

you're so emotionally invested in it.

 

Venus in Cancer:

 

    Sensitive and sentimental, you are deeply attached to your

family, old friends, familiar places, and the past. You are

romantic and tender in love, and the remembrance of birthdays,

anniversaries, family rituals, and other days of personal

significance is very important to you. You seek caring,

emotional support, and security in love. You like to be needed,

to cherish and protect your loved ones, and you are somewhat

possessive of them.

 

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 Quincunx Saturn:

 

     You tend to deprive yourself of pleasure, friendship, and

love, either because you feel you don't deserve it or you think

it's wrong to enjoy life too much. You may have been

indoctrinated with a duty-and-work-before-all-else orientation

early on. You may also think of yourself as unattractive or

unlovable, and thus close your heart to opportunities to share

love and companionship, never quite believing that others

actually like you. You're apt to prefer solitude to being in

uncomfortable social situations, and your shyness may be intense

--  especially when young. Learning to truly love and accept

yourself --  including whatever flaws or imperfections you

believe you have --  is so important for you. This process of

self-appreciation and self-love will reap rewards, especially in

later life.

 

Venus Conjunct Pluto:

 

    You have deep, compelling love feelings that seem

irresistible and often irrational. Your love relationships are

very passionate and intense, and you experience both agony and

ecstasy in love. You are always changed in a deep, fundamental

way by your love experiences, though this may come about through

painful and difficult confrontations or separations. You are

something of an emotional fanatic about things you care about.

 

Venus Conjunct Sun/Jupiter

 

    Your strong enthusiasm for life effects everyone around you.

You have a sense of well-being, a harmonious sex-life and you

are likely to enjoy healthy and affectionate love relationships.

You also have a lot of creative ideas and could do well with

some kind of craft projects.

 

Venus Conjunct Moon/Mercury

 

    You think with both your mind and your heart and have an

unobtrusive, empathic intellect. You relate to others in an

affable, considerate and thoughtful way and always seem to find

the right words at the right time.

 

Venus Conjunct Mars/N. Node

 

    You like to feel at one with the whole world and are cordial

and warm-hearted in collaborating with others. Public-spirited,

you seem to be real content and happy only when you are among

other people.

 

 

 

 

    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 3rd house:

 

     Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, you enjoy arguing,

debating, and contesting other people's opinions. You are quite

forthright and sometimes tactless. You can be very convincing

about your point of view, but you are prone to a "hard-sell"

approach which sometimes backfires. Challenging mental work is a

good avenue for your aggressive intellect.

 

MC Conjunct Uranus:

 

     Your aspirations in life are apt to be quite unusual,

extraordinary, or ahead of their time. You're a nonconformist,

insistent on doing things your own way, and you will follow a

zigzag course to the fulfillment of your ambitions.

 

     Rebelling against authority seems to be one aspect of your

life's plan. You simply cannot force yourself into a pre-cast

mold of any kind.

 

Mars Opposition MC:

 

     Conflicts in your early childhood are apt to be played out

in your later professional life. Unresolved rivalry with a

parent or sibling may result in antagonism toward superiors or

competitors. If you can work through some of these past events,

you will have even more energy and drive to achieve positive

goals.

 

MC Opposition Saturn/Pluto

 

    You know how to discipline yourself and face difficulties

with great courage. It may take time, energy and dedication for

you to achieve your goals; and when you meet defeat, you rise

above it and continue on your way.

 

MC Opposition Saturn/Asc.

 

    You tend to be somewhat pessimistic and may frequently feel

frustrated and depressed. Others may try to hold you back in the

attainment of your objectives, and success may come to you

slowly but steady.

 

 

 

 

      Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy

 

Jupiter in Gemini:

 

     You have the ability to see connections between seemingly

unrelated ideas or worlds, and to bring them together. You excel

in any field requiring clear intellect, and verbal and

communication skills. You have an insatiable curiosity and may

read or watch television constantly in order to satisfy your

need for mental stimulation. Your mind never stops.

 

Jupiter in 11th house:

 

     You have good fortune working with groups, organizations,

and others who share your ideals. You go further if you unite

your efforts with others, as in clubs, networks, or civic

associations. Social improvement, or benefiting your community

is very important to you.

 

Jupiter Sextile Uranus:

 

     You are always open to the new, willing to plunge in and

experiment with a fresh approach, and enthusiastic about

learning, growing, and expanding. As a result of this positive

attitude, opportunities and unexpected good fortune are drawn

into your life. You embrace change, delight in discovery, and

enjoy sharing your excitement with other people. A sense of

happy expectation and a sometimes outrageous sense of humor are

two of your great gifts.

 

 

 

 

  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 6th house:

 

     You take both your work and your health very seriously, but

you may demand so much of yourself at work that you compromise

your health. You can become a workaholic, not so much because

you have lofty ambitions, but because you never feel like you've

done enough. You are overly responsible or overly conscientious

at work, so much so that you may not enjoy it at all.

 

     You can also get overly involved in self-improvement or

your health, and you tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

 

Saturn Opposition Moon/Venus

 

    You tend to suppress your feelings and may be a bit

inhibited in love. Often times you may feel rejected or you may

give the impression of rejecting others yourself. Perhaps your

mother or father has a difficult time showing their affection.

 

 

 

    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 Taurus:

 

    You gain by becoming more aware of the rhythm of the seasons

and the natural world, learning to slow down and allow life to

unfold in its own time. Nurturing a garden, a child, or some

other living, growing thing gives you a sense of inner balance.

 

    You have a tendency to be deeply suspicious, to not take

anything at face value, to see hidden agendas and dark motives

even where none exist! Life does not have to be conflict all the

time... learn to accept things as they are.

 

    You also need to develop patience, peace and stability by

grounding yourself in your daily work and acting in a consistent

and reliable way towards others.

 

N. Node in 11th house:

 

    The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues

is in any involvements you have with teams, clubs,

organizations, networks, and the like. The qualities described

above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or

experience, or have some impact on society at large.

 

    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 Moon:

 

    Care for and nourish children, plants, pets, or other

people, make a home, create and sustain strong ties with your

family or a community which can support and give you a sense of

safety and belonging.

 

    Develop your listening skills. Deepen your understanding and

appreciation of women and of a woman's perspective. Learn to

trust your own feelings, intuitions, and emotional needs. Care

for yourself in an accepting, nonjudgmental way.

 

    Take all of what is good and helpful from your past and use

it in a new way. (If you are so inclined, you may want to

explore the potentials of past-life regression to tap into gifts

you have already developed).

 

 

 

 

             Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination

  Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive

 

Uranus in 10th house:

 

     You are likely to have a career that is highly unusual or

that somehow challenges the mainstream of society and the status

quo. Being an instrument for progressive change in the world is

your role, whether in a humble or grand manner. You need to

shake things up wherever you are. You also may change careers,

life direction, and your long range goals many times in your

life.

 

Neptune in 2nd house:

 

     You may have a great deal of confusion over money,

financial matters, and ownership. Perhaps these things mean very

little to you. Or possibly you simply don't know how to deal

with them in a realistic, effective way.

 

     Also, you may make your living through artistic, musical,

or highly imaginative endeavors.

 

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.

 

Uranus Opposition Venus/Saturn

 

    You tend to be a bit unsettled and discontented and could

find it difficult to feel real joy. You seem to have an inner

conflict between a conservative and liberal attitude, making

your relations with others, especially where love is concerned,

rather tense.

 

Pluto Conjunct Mercury/N. Node

 

    You have a strong desire to be intellectually superior to

everyone and your words of wisdom are likely to be heard by

many. Persuading or influencing others is easy for you, but you

also are inclined to be ruthless at times.

 

 

 

 

       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 Cancer:

 

    You are part of a 25 year group of people who have strong

feelings for home and country. You are a sentimental group, and

feel deeply attached to your family and your country. You cling

to the familiar, are distrustful and fearful of different

cultures, and consequently a great deal of racial and ethnic

prejudice is common among your age group.

 

    Your need for closeness and togetherness runs very deep and

causes you to bond closely to family members and old friends,

and also makes you prone to be involved in mass movements and

group activities because they feed your largely subconscious

need for acceptance and support by others. Unfortunately, your

age group is easily carried away by a group frenzy and many of

you often lack the integrity or courage to think and act in an

independent and rational way.

 

    Your generation is very emotional and tenderhearted. Many of

your group sacrificed a great deal to help your children or

other family members, while other generations are unwilling to

give as much as you have. Your tender feelings and regard for

the well-being of others can spur your age group to make

contributions towards the feeding of the hungry, care for the

neglected, and support for the needy, particularly children and

mothers. You are a group of people with a strong heart and a

helpful hand. Many of you have parents and/or children who are

not nearly as supportive and helpful; many of your contributions

are not completely appreciated or even go unnoticed.

 

           The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group

 

Neptune in Virgo:

 

    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

 

Uranus in Aries:

 

    You are part of a 7 year group of people who are highly

independent, self-reliant, self-willed, and rebellious. You are

a rowdy bunch and your generation broke many time-honored

traditions and customs. Your age group pioneered many new ideas

that remained fashionable for many years; for example, rock 'n'

roll was introduced by people of your age group.
