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.
