You often have a sense of longing or homesickness for something you cannot name or specify and you may have both a great attraction and fear of mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness or oversensitivity is an important task for you.

Due to the influence of the Saturn Opposite Pluto aspect of your chart, you are a Gemini who feels that you must work very hard and struggle against tremendous odds which block your chances of fulfilling your life. You may adopt a very hard, cynical or nihilistic attitude which will only pull you further down. Severe problems with your father or those in authority are indicated. You may fail simply to spite them without realising you hurt yourself primarily. If you can overcome your feelings of loneliness, bitterness or isolation, and direct your energies into constructive arenas, you can be immensely effective for your tenacity and potential for achievement is great.

You are subject to rash decisions and impulsive actions that may have sudden, unexpected consequences and undesirable results. Not a very adaptable Gemini, you could have considerable tension with people and are likely to have disputes or even violent fights with others.

You are not afraid of hard work and leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of your objectives. You have a strong desire to overcome any difficulties or obstacles in your way and will do this at all cost, even if it means having to use force.

Now we will discuss patterns of behaviour which you instinctively and habitually revert to when under stress - an unconscious process as 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.

You need to take what you have learned (either through formal education or your own life experience) and share it with others, communicate it, express it in a way others can benefit from. Knowledge and understanding which does not enhance the quality of life for yourself and others in your world is of little real value. Putting your understanding, philosophy and convictions into practice in your daily interactions with people and in the multiple small choices you make every day will enable you to really test your belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress you are apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Cultivate your ability to live in the present.

The following are specific activities that will support you in your growth. These may or may not feel natural to you; often there is some feeling of resistance or initial awkwardness about doing these things, but they are important on your path to wholeness.

Develop true self confidence and the willingness to put yourself out there, to be seen and to shine. Be willing to take on a leading role, to be a hero, to be a protagonist in your own story by cultivating the courageous, active and positive masculine qualities you possess. Doing creative work that you are proud of - anything that comes from your heart and bears the stamp of your individuality - is important to you as a Gemini. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than you is a way for you to grow and become more whole.

Learn to communicate and express yourself through the written or spoken word. Study, learn skills, develop your intellectual interests and capacities. Become involved in sharing and exchanging information with others and develop your intellectual reasoning ability. Use your mind, your thought and your ability to be objective.

Writing, teaching, recording, transcribing, dialoguing, negotiating, mediating, communicating or facilitating clear communication are significant activities for you to pursue.

Develop faith and confidence both in yourself and in a higher power which can guide, nourish and help you. Expand your willingness to dream and envision better things in life. Study religion, philosophy and other subjects that enable you to see a larger, more inclusive view of yourself and the world.

Be generous with your time, energy and resources in helping others achieve a better life and this in turn will benefit you.

You are very social-minded and it is easy for you to show your affection. Your family or community probably provided good possibilities for your development. You may love to show off a little and thrive on being involved with others in joyful group activities.

You have a strong desire to take part in social functions and entertainment and cultivate an active exchange of thoughts with others. You also appreciate associations and have the ability to carry enterprises to a successful conclusion in teamwork.

You tend to have a certain fear of crowds and may find it hard to integrate yourself into a group of people. Working with others is not easy for you and you may frequently encounter some upsets or hostility.

Section 8: Generational influences: your age group

The subconscious and emotional drive of your age group

You are part of a 15-year group of people that are driven by the need to find an ethical standard and a clear sense of what is right and what is wrong. There is a subconscious drive to straighten out all the world's evils and create a world of perfect order. There is a feeling of repulsion to anything ugly, dirty or grotesque. Oddly enough, there is also often a fascination with these very things that are so distasteful, a feeling of hopelessness and despair about the world's condition.

These inner, emotional and conflicting qualities are reflected in the attitudes and life styles of your generation. Most people of your age group are conservative and ethical, but a small minority goes to the opposite extreme and relishes being strange or unusual in appearance and sloppy or even grotesque in manners and appearance. There seems to be no middle ground for your generation. Usually, the rebellious type of behaviour comes out during adolescence and tends to subside thereafter; your age group tends to be very conservative in later life.

Your age group is not very good at compromising and tends to have strong ideas about what is right and wrong. There is a strong feeling that you must extinguish evil in the world. Certainly, fostering good works is very commendable, but a categorical and simple-minded response to complex issues is not helpful. Your age group will undergo great transformations in attitudes regarding Good and Evil and will swing to great extremes. Your generation will also make great contributions in the areas of medicine and nutrition, ecology and education.

You were also born during a period that lasted approximately five years and is characterised by extreme restlessness and an impatient, dynamic attitude towards life. You are part of a group of people who can be explosive in their reactions to situations. You do not tolerate being restricted and your age group rebels with force and anger against oppressive situations.

The ideals and illusions of your age group

You are part of a 14-year group of people that have very intense psychic sensitivity and imagination. Your age group is very attracted to the strange, weird and unusual. The sense of the macabre and bizarre is strong; this is reflected in much of the music, art and fashions of your age group. Novels and movies with mystery and chilling suspense are also popular with your age group. Emotional depression, drug use and suicide are likely to be relatively high in your age group. There is also a deep mystical sense; Eastern religions and meditation are very attractive to your age group.

What is new and different in your age group

You are part of a seven-year group of people who employ their skills and creativity to bring about a great deal of practical reform in education, medical care and other social services. Your innovations are not radical or unusual, but they are usually effective.

Your generation also has a curious mixture of both conservative, ethical, rebellious and disruptive people. There seems to be little middle ground for your age group; you swing from one extreme to the other. The conservative people strive to reinstate strict moral standards, to punish criminal behaviour swiftly and to strive to highlight the importance of old-fashioned values in our lives, laws and overall lifestyle.
