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.
Your emotions and feelings rule
you and you are easily influenced by your
moods and by the feelings of those around
you. Because you are so sensitive to your
environment, you need to be in an atmosphere
that is positive and relatively free of psychic
garbage. Otherwise you absorb it and end
up feeling badly yourself. Highly sympathetic,
you readily sense what others feel inside
(whether they express it or not), and this
deep emotional rapport can be both a gift
and a curse: you can get extremely close
to those you care for but you also feel other
people's feelings so strongly that you identify
their emotions or problems as your own. Learning
to discern the boundaries between yourself
and others is important. Furthermore, you
need to respect these boundaries: other people
may need more personal space and separateness
than you do. Your tendency is to want to
merge with the ones you love, which can be
interpreted as demanding or smothering by
people with less need for and capacity for
emotional closeness than you possess.
Your sensitivity and compassion
and imaginative faculties are highly developed,
and you may find it difficult to communicate
all that you feel in logical, rational terms.
Words seem inadequate, and the language of
touch or music or visual imagery may be much
more natural to you.
Unless you have astrological
energies that indicate otherwise, you are
prone to be rather passive, possibly lazy,
and also quite sensual. Weight problems are
very possible.
As you will read in the next
chapter, you do have a well-grounded and
down-to-earth orientation towards life, a
sense of realism which steadies your moody
and imaginative nature.

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.
Modest, unobtrusive, and
often
rather quiet or shy, you are a person
who
is content to be in the background
or to
serve as an assistant, in the supporting
role rather than in the lead. You are
quite
humble in your own assessment of yourself;
you seek perfection, with a tendency
to be
overly self-critical. No matter how
well
you do something, you always see the
flaws
in it and how it could be improved.
Often
you will simply refuse to attempt something
because you feel you cannot meet your
own
high standards.
You have an eye for detail
and
get upset when something is not done
just
so, usually something others consider
rather
inconsequential or trivial. You are
hard
to please and your relationships with
others
may suffer because of this. You also
have
refined sensitivities and are very
discriminating
and particular in your choice of foods,
clothes,
friends, artwork, etc. Order in your
environment
is very important to you.
You step into situations
rather
cautiously, and not without realistically
assessing all of the risks and potential
advantages involved. Unless something
is
a safe bet, you are unlikely to dive
into
it. You tend to underestimate your
own capacities
and to lack confidence and trust in
life,
which inhibits your spontaneity. Worrying
is a bad habit of yours. On the other
hand,
you rarely fall flat on your face and
what
you do, you do very well.
Others see you as a self-sufficient
and rather self-contained person. You
have
a strong sense of propriety. Politeness,
good manners, and correct behavior
are important
to you. Your clear, cool, objective
and unemotional
attitude is apparent to others first,
and
though you are really quite helpful
and caring,
you do not radiate much sympathy so
that
others may not see the helpful side
as readily.
You may seem more businesslike and
factual,
and also more conservative, than you
really
are at heart. You are the person others
might
go to for technical advice or an unbiased
opinion, but not for emotional support.
You are keenly observant,
intelligent,
and have a great desire for learning
and
for self-improvement, but you are not
especially
ambitious and are often satisfied in
a rather
simple, unglamorous position in life.
You may be seen as someone
who
provokes conflict because you like
to get
everything out in the open and you
generally
don't avoid disagreeable issues. Your
relations
with others may be characterized by
a great
deal of competition, anger, or friction
as
a result. Or, you may seem to run into
more
than your share of inconsiderate, pushy
people.
Learning to harness your energies into
cooperative
efforts and shared work is your challenge.
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.
Others may see you as
a cool,
reserved and unapproachable person,
perhaps
as a result of your conservative and
stern
upbringing. You could feel that no
one understands
you and tend to isolate yourself from
others.
You love children and
young
people and are likely to provide an
intellectually
stimulating environment for them. You
are
inclined to lead a very social life
and establishing
contact with others comes easy for
you.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
|
You seem much more objective,
unemotional, and matter-of-fact than you
really are. In spite of your fussiness and
perfectionism (described in the previous
chapter), you are really very caring and
loving. You need to make sure that you EXPRESS
your feelings because otherwise others do
not realize how much you care about them.
You have powerful emotional
attachments to the past, your family, your
childhood, those places you associate with
safety and security and your beginnings.
Maintaining a connection with your roots
and heritage and keeping family bonds strong
are very important to you. Loyal, devoted,
and sentimental, you tend to cling to whatever
is dear to you, be it person, familiar place,
or cherished possession.
You are sympathetic, nurturing,
supportive, and very sensitive to the emotional
needs of other people. You like to be needed,
to care for others, and you often worry about
the people you love. You have a very strong
need for a sense of belonging and acceptance,
and you center much of your life around your
home. You are more concerned about people
and their feelings than with power, achievement,
or position in society. Kindness, consideration,
and tenderness impress you more than any
sort of honor the world can bestow.
You are primarily emotional
and your views are often dominated by your
feelings and by your own personal, subjective
experiences, rather than reason, logic, or
abstract principles. It is difficult for
you to judge situations in a fair, objective
manner for your personal sympathies and loyalties
usually enter in. You take things very personally,
and sometimes build a wall around yourself
to protect yourself from pain and rejection.
You feel rather shy and vulnerable at heart.
You also tend to be moody, experiencing frequent
emotional ups and downs. You need to have
a place and time in your life to withdraw,
introspect, dream, and replenish yourself;
otherwise you become cranky and unhappy with
those around you.
You function in an instinctive,
nonrational manner and like to immerse yourself
in creative activities where you can express
your feelings, imagination, and instincts.
You often love to cook, since it can be both
creative and a way to nurture and nourish
others. You also have a great affinity for
music, because it evokes and communicates
feelings that may be difficult or impossible
to put into words.
Your compassion, sensitivity,
and imagination are your strong points. Your
faults include an inability to release the
past and go forward, clannishness and prejudice,
and a tendency to be self-pitying when you
meet hardships in life.
Your career, reputation, and
public image are very important to you. You
have a strong desire to be influential or
make your mark on the world. The merely personal
sphere does not satisfy you; your ambitions
include making a major contribution and receiving
broad recognition for your unique effort
and gifts. You may undervalue the personal
or inner side of life.
You are positive, vital, energetic,
active, a go-getter. You enjoy competition,
and your initiative and self-confidence make
you a winner.
You have artistic talents and
interests and appreciate art in many forms.
You could become an actor and have good judgment
of the real value of things. You have an
affectionate nature with a cheerful disposition
and strong feelings of love.
You may be a bit high-strung
and over-zealous in the pursuit of your endeavors.
You always seem to be in a hurry and have
the ability to evaluate situations quickly.
You have a brilliant mind and possibly could
invent something.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
|
You are highly interested in inner,
subjective, and personal issues, and your
thinking is based more on feelings, intuition,
personal experiences, and prejudices rather
than reason or logic. Intellectual abilities
and accomplishments without heart or soul
mean little to you. You are empathic and
would be an excellent counselor, for you
are a sensitive listener and deeply interested
in a person's feelings and inner life. In
addition to psychology, you are drawn to
education, art, poetry, music, or mythology.
You are not especially confident about speaking
in public, but will open up and share your
thoughts in small, intimate groups. You enjoy
keeping a diary or personal journal and reading
the chronicles of others' lives and personal
development.
You think a great deal about
your career, your reputation and public image,
and the way you make a contribution or impact
on the world at large. Public speaking or
communications of some other kind is likely
to be an important aspect of the work you
do.
You have a charming disposition
and love to socialize and meet new people.
You also like to be surrounded by beautiful
things and like to talk to others about your
views on love problems as well as your views
on beauty, fashion and art in general.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
|
Warm, loving, and generous in your
affections, you inspire tremendous devotion
and loyalty in your loved ones. This is good,
since you would never settle for anything
less! You want to be adored and worshipped
like the king or queen that you feel you
are, and it is difficult for anyone to resist
the warmth and attention you lavish on those
you care about. You have a great deal of
pride and need to be recognized and appreciated.
The way to really hurt your feelings is to
ignore you. You are genuine, sincere, and
have a strong sense of personal integrity.
You hate emotional games and dishonesty.
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.
Your health should be good and
your recuperative powers are strong. You
are able to express your feelings harmoniously
and consider yourself wealthy either on material
or spiritual planes. You are well liked and
your relations with others are congenial.
In love, you are more interested
in a person's sense of humor and intelligence
than in their physique. You like a partner
who is mentally alive and who keeps you guessing
a little bit, and you become restless and
bored with someone who never asks questions,
never changes or surprises you. Talking,
sharing ideas, going places together, and
learning new things together is very important
to your happiness. You need lots of social
stimulation, are something of a flirt, and
like to have many friends of both sexes.
A possessive, jealous partner is very stifling
for you.
Promoting beauty, the arts,
or entertainment can make you very happy.
You want to contribute something positive
and loving to the world at large and you
want to be recognized for your beauty, artistic
gifts, or loving generosity. You may "marry"
your work - that is, be more involved in
your career than in your private life. You
are a natural hostess or diplomat.
Sensitive and compassionate,
you tend to be the "giver" in any
relationship. You have high ideals and a
refined attitude towards love, seeking to
relate in ways that are beyond ego needs
and selfishness. You are attracted to people
with artistic or mystical inclinations.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve
Your Goals
|
You are noncombative, noncompetitive,
and something of a pacifist. You will give
something up rather than fight for it. You
may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for
you do not have a strong ego drive for personal
achievement and material advantage, or for
winning at the expense of someone else. Being
first, being best, being on top doesn't mean
much to you, and you can be quite happy in
a supporting role, working for the benefit
of others or for a cause that you believe
in. You are gentle and impressionable and
are motivated by less mundane and less tangible
things than most other people. You may have
difficulty formulating clear, definite goals
for yourself and making your way in the world.
You have many dreams, high ideals, and a
strong mystical or religious impulse. You
also have a creative imagination and can
successfully apply yourself to art or music.
You have a sensitive physique and need to
maintain good regular health habits in order
build strength and stamina.
You expect to work hard for
anything you accomplish and you have no patience
for people who don't pull their own weight.
Work is a passion for you at times, and you
push yourself too hard. You can be too demanding
of the people you work with also.
If your energy is not invested
in a job or career, you can become a fanatic
about your health, and you may exercise or
"work out" vigorously and perhaps
excessively.
You are hyper-sensitive and
your energy could be somewhat low. You seem
to shy away from any physical effort and
have a tendency to dream of big accomplishments
that never materialize. You prefer to live
in a world of illusion rather than face reality.
You may find it difficult to
communicate with others and have a tendency
to quarrel. It is hard for you to express
yourself and your ideas and opinions may
often be challenged by others. Because of
frequent disagreements, you are likely to
feel incompatible.
You gain your objectives and
ambitions in life through your personal charm,
attractiveness, ability to please others
visually and/or emotionally. A career in
the arts or entertainment world is possible
for you. Anything involving sales or promotion,
particularly of beautiful or luxurious items,
is an area you can succeed in. Vanity or
indiscretions in relationships could lead
to your downfall.
You are intensely competitive,
and may engage in furious battles of will,
numerous conflicts, and possible public controversy,
on your way to gaining your objectives. You
could be drawn to activities that are dangerous,
in the line of fire, so to speak. You put
yourself on the line. Anger or recklessness
could be your downfall.
Although you vigorously pursue
your own interests, you can work together
with others just as energetically. You are
a fighter, a good colleague and a comrade
in arms. Very active in the career world,
you stand up for work and are willing to
fight for it.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That
You Enjoy
|
Your ability to think things through
clearly, and to analyze and understand the
smallest details of any plan, is highly developed.
You have a modest nature and are more concerned
with the success of your project or work
than with personal aggrandizement. You enjoy
working and are happiest when you are being
productive and using your time efficiently.
You are drawn to social work,
the ministry, giving your time and energy
to charitable organizations, or to serving
and helping the disadvantaged in some way.
Your generosity and unselfishness will bring
you and others much good.
You aim high and strive to position
yourself in a manner that will ensure success.
You are not above joining organizations or
rubbing elbows with others primarily for
the opportunities and social status that
they confer on you. You abhor pettiness and
your broad perspective and vision incline
you to an influential and successful position
in life.
You have a great, wide-open
sense of possibilities which allows extraordinary,
even miraculous events to come into your
life. A sense of divine grace, of being part
of the flow of the universe, of communing
with celestial realms or Beings, are all
very natural to you. At the same time, you're
not apt to go to extremes or lose your sense
of perspective. You are also quite altruistic
and giving, and ready to aid less fortunate
people. A sense of gratitude and spiritual
wealth is one of your finest attributes.
You are very adaptable, have
a well developed social sense, and love social
activity and entertainment. Your relationship
to other people is likely to be harmonious
and your upbringing probably was geared toward
early maturity and shaping of your personality.
Your imagination and fantasies
are highly stimulated and you tend to have
great hopes for the future. You may have
a gift for writing poetry or some form of
acting. You also are likely to have an intellectual
interest in metaphysical and spiritual subjects.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are
Difficult For You
|
You both yearn for, and fear, being
emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing
deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others
and letting yourself be known in a deep way
doesn't come easily to you, and sexual inhibitions
may result from this. You are very self-protective
and may be compulsively secretive. Learning
to relinquish control in personal relationships,
and to be completely open, are important
tasks for you.
You are serious-minded and may
have difficulty making light social conversation
or participating in friendly, personal interchanges.
You try to be strictly accurate
and are critical of people who exaggerate
or talk on subjects they really know little
about. You withhold your thoughts and opinions
until you have thought everything through
quite thoroughly, and sometimes your silence
discomforts others.
Your mental concentration is
very good but your breadth of understanding
may not be.
You have an inner conflict between
idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus
doubt and oppression by limitations and practical
realities. You need to develop discipline
and patience in order to achieve your aspirations.
You will grow by learning to accept frustration
and to persevere in spite of obstacles.
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.
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.
It is easy for you to become
distracted from your purpose by the multitude
of interesting choices, possibilities, and
options available to you. You need to develop
single mindedness and focus. Until you direct
your attention to some of the big questions,
such as "What is my life's purpose?"
"What is really important to me and
essential to my happiness?", you are
apt to dabble, to scatter your energies in
many directions engaging in activities which
are entertaining but which are ultimately
not fruitful or nourishing.
Having an overall vision for
your life and aligning your daily activities
so that they support rather than detract
from your larger purpose, is a significant
step in your unfoldment.
The arena you are most likely
to wrestle with these issues is in the way
you think, process information, and communicate.
In your interactions with neighbors, colleagues,
and acquaintances, try to bring out the qualities
described above.
You are able to achieve good
cooperation with people, and others see you
as a welcome comrade. You like to work hand
in hand with everyone and have an excellent
sense of team-work.
You have a strong desire to
break records and set an example for others
through your own achievements. You tend to
spur others on to improve results and your
association with others is for the purpose
of bettering conditions.

Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination
Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique,
Unstable,
or Compulsive
|
You have unusual, even eccentric
friends, and you are likely to join groups,
communities, organizations, or clubs which
promote progressive or unconventional ideas,
social change, or innovation in some form.
You are dynamic and creative in business
affairs and in organizations.
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.
You have a deep interest in
secrets, the underworld or unconscious, and
anything hidden and mysterious. Psychoanalysis,
investigating your dreams, and other methods
of uncovering secrets are very interesting
to you. You may be exceptionally perceptive
intuitively or psychically. Your emotions
and subconscious energies are complex, and
periodic transformations and personal crises
are sprinkled liberally throughout your lifetime.
You are inquisitive and curious
and have great interest in novelties. You
have the gift of replying with a swift witty
answer when challenged, and flexible in thinking,
you change your plans quickly if necessary,
and always seem to make the right choice.
You have great ability to persuade
others to your point of view and you go about
pursuing your goals in a fanatical way. You
should guard against a nervous breakdown
due to over-taxing your strength. Highly
responsible, you tend to take on too many
duties.
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 Emotional Drive of Your
Age Group". In this section we will
describe a deeply felt urge, even compulsion,
of your age group. This deeply felt drive
comes to the surface with great force and
power, and consequently leaves in its wake
considerable upheaval and change. The second
topic is "The Ideals and Illusions of
Your Age Group", that describes the
dreams, fantasies, and spiritual aspirations
of your age group. The third and last topic
is "What is New and Different in Your
Age Group", which describes areas in
which your age group tends to be innovative,
inventive, unusual, and also where it may
be unstable and unreliable.
The characteristics described
below may affect a group of people for anywhere
from a few years to about 30 years. There
are one or more different astrological factors
described in each of the three sections below.
|
The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your
Age Group
|
You are part of a 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 have a very idealistic sense of
brotherhood and universal cooperation, which,
among other things, fostered the peace and
freedom movement. Your age group is also
interested in the spiritual philosophy and
ideals of other cultures, and is not at all
dogmatic in its approach to religion. You
incorporate the approaches of other religions.
Your age group tends to have an eclectic
approach to religion, utilizing elements
from many religious perspectives (e.g. Eastern
and Western), and finds it difficult to follow
traditionally defined religious practices.
A gullibility and an unwillingness
to be decisive and judgmental inclines your
age group to be easily deceived, and consequently
many of the well-intended ideals and goals
are frustrated by a lack of clear purpose
and direction.
You were also born during a
period that lasted approximately 5 years
and is characterized by an unusually high
degree of imagination and sensitivity. You
are part of a group of people who are very
inspired but also unstable. The bizarre and
unusual are standard fare among your age
group. Your generation also inspires intense
political movements that are often fanatical
or unreasonable in their goals.
The entire generation to which
you belong has tremendous opportunities for
spiritual rebirth and awakening. This will
not be forced upon you or precipitated by
unavoidable events, rather it comes from
an inner yearning and a natural propensity
to seek the depths.

What is New and Different in Your Age Group
|
You are part of a 7 year group of
people who are unusually self-willed,
proud,
and egotistical. You are a group that
defies
authority and insists on having its
own way.
Parents and school teachers found that
it
was extremely difficult to discipline
your
age group. Governments that are repressive
to individual expression and freedom
meet
a great deal of resistance from your
age
group, and you tend to rise up against
any
form of tyranny and oppressive rule.
