Jon Bon Jovi March 2, 1962 8:45 PM Perth Amboy, NJ Your birth chart interpretation is based on the positions of the planets at the time of your birth, Jon.

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 gift lies in your ability to perceive, understand, and communicate about matters of feeling, of heart and soul. You are thus well suited to any field that involves working with people as a counselor or teacher, and even if you are not so trained, others seek you out as an advisor, for you are able to clarify and sensitively discuss their personal concerns and problems. Relationship is really a primary importance to you and is the arena in which your richest and most fulfilling experiences lie. Jon, you, even more than most people, require friends and intimates to share your thoughts and your life with.     As a typical Pisces you also have an active and creative mind that is enhanced by your Air/Water Dominant elemental makeup, and you are apt to spend much time reading, thinking or daydreaming, and/or writing (stories, music, lyrics, diaries, letters, etc.). Film or any media combining words with images and emotions also fascinates you.     At times your mind and intellect may seem to be at odds with your naturally instinctive, emotional, feeling Pisces side, and it is your task to bring them together. You may spend a lot of time cogitating and mulling over your experiences and feelings, trying to understand and make sense of them.     You are quite sensitive (psychologically and physically) and may avoid direct, active participation in life.     You are likely to be overly humble or unsure of yourself and to look to others for inspiration, motivation, reinforcement, and approval. Tending to be somewhat passive, you must learn how to take initiative and motivate yourself.     A lack of warmth (either physically, emotionally, or both) may be evident in you due to your Fire Missing or Deficient elemental makeup, which can show itself physically as a low energy level, paleness and lack of color in the skin, or a tendency to be easily chilled, and emotionally as a marked coolness or aloofness with little spiritedness, joyfulness, or enthusiasm for living. Eating warming, spicy foods, living in a warm, sunny place, and using fire in your daily life (lighting candles, using a wood stove or fireplace for heat) can help balance you. Also, spending time with warm, cheerful, positive-minded people and developing a philosophy based on spiritual optimism can stir up your own zest of life.     Positively, Jon, you are unlikely to be egocentric and have a capacity for great patience and peacefulness. Astrological influences analyzed in Chapter 1: Air and Water are Strong (F,E,A,W Scores = 1,11,20,17) Fire is Weak (F,E,A,W Scores = 1,11,20,17) Section 2: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others     The following is a description of your basic stance towards life, the way others see you, the way you come across, the face you show to the world. In Chapter 3 you will read about the "The Inner You: Your Real Motivation", which describes the kind of person you are at heart and where your true priorities lie. Read this chapter and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between them, in which case "the inner you" may not shine through and others are in for some surprises when they get to know you at a more than superficial level. This chapter describes the costume you wear, your role in life, while Chapter 3 talks about the real person inside the costume.     You are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see the other side of an issue, Jon. Even if you strongly disagree with someone, you will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. You often avoid taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. You have a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and express a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Like most Pisces, you very much want to be liked and because of your need for approval and acceptance, you are easily influenced by others' opinions, especially when young, and this trait is further brought out by the presence of the Libra Ascendant found in your chart. You so much want to please that often you will suppress your own intense or unpleasant feelings in order not to offend others. Sometimes your politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.     Your need to create harmony extends to your physical environment and personal appearance as well. You appreciate beauty and have a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. You do everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From your home furnishings to your choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.     You also feel that relationships are an art, one that especially interests you and one that you are usually quite skilled at, for you possess tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to you and finding the right person to share your life with is extremely important. Being part of a close couple seems natural to you - you are not an independent loner. Having a partner increases your self-confidence. You do have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on your partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being yourself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for you.     Others see you as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person, Jon,. Though there may be much more to you, this is the sort of face you show to the world. You possess personal charm and an understated, noncombative manner. Your motto could be "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" for you usually take a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.      Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is a youthfulness about your manner and appearance regardless of your chronological age. You also always appear busy and active, and somewhat restless. You need mental stimulation from your environment, or you will rapidly get bored.      You are direct, honest, and to the point -- some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who you are or what you want -- you're pretty much up front. You radiate a refreshing enthusiasm and vigor when you're at your best. You seem to enjoy competition without taking it terribly seriously.      The way you come across to others, particularly on first impression, tends to conceal certain important aspects of yourself. Specifically, what gives you pleasure, how you like to give and receive affection, and what you seek in a friend or lover are not at all apparent from your outward demeanor. You seem to send mixed signals, and this can create a bit of confusion for the people who are interested in getting close to you or knowing you on more than a superficial level.

Section 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation     Your pleasant manner and desire to relate harmoniously with others (as discussed in chapter 2) combines with your idealism, receptivity, and impressionability (as discussed below) to make you a very self-sacrificing Pisces who is willing to go the extra mile for someone's benefit. Be wary of the tendencies to lack discrimination in your charity, to try to help someone who is incorrigible, and to avoid confrontations, Jon. You are inclined to hide your thoughts and feelings, make excuses and even lie, often just to avoid someone or some issue. Strive to be honest in your communications; it will also help you be honest with yourself. If you channel your energies well, you can be a great help to others, perhaps in a professional role as a counselor, teacher, or consultant or perhaps just your daily life and affairs.     At heart you are very gentle, impressionable, and receptive -a dreamer. The world of your imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to you as anything in the outer world, though you may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting your inner experiences in a way others can understand. A mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative Pisces, you have a rich inner life, though you may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. You usually keep to yourself.     You have great sensitivity and empathy with others, Jon, and you often sense things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct. You are a tolerant, forgiving, and nonjudgmental Pisces, accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance, and this trait is further enhanced by the presence of the Sun in Pisces aspect of your chart. You have deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and often feel others' pain as if it were your own. You sympathize with the needy, the disadvantaged, the misfits of society. You are capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker, or minister. However, you tend to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of your kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon you. You have little sense of boundaries, of limits, of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not your strong points.     You are a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and you try to avoid open conflict. You will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than directly confronting them, and you tend to lack the positive fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges. You are fluid, open, nonresistant, and somewhat passive. You do things in a subtle, often covert, manner.     Your gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for you have a great sensitivity, inspiration, and limitless imagination. You respond very strongly to beauty and to love.     Jon, your faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than taking strong, definite action to change your life for the better. You also tend to become so detached from your immediate environment that you live in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around you more than it bothers you.      As a Pisces you have a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and you love to perform which is further enhanced by the presence of Saturn in the 5th house found in your chart. You enjoy being the center of attention and you seek to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. You are very involved in your own creativity and self-expression, and take great pleasure in developing and using your special talents, whether these are artistic, athletic, or intellectual. You have a strong sense of pride.     You are imaginative and sensitive to anything colorful, beautiful, or magical. As a typical Pisces you are attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, music, and mysticism, and these traits are further enhanced by the presence of the Sun Trine Neptune aspect of your chart. Your spiritual values color your whole perspective and approach to life. You are idealistic and perhaps impractical.     You are infused with a sense of personal destiny or mission, and can be extremely driven, obsessed, and fanatical. Learning about power and how to use it for good is definitely part of your path. You confront abusive power, tyranny, and dominating people who will teach you about power, and eventually force you to claim your own. Astrological influences analyzed in Chapter 3: Ascendant in Libra and Sun in Pisces Sun in Pisces Sun in 5th house Sun Trine Neptune Sun Opposition Pluto   Section 4: Mental Interests and Abilities     Due to the influence of the Mercury in Aquarius aspect of your chart, you are a progressive thinking Pisces, open and receptive to new technologies and breakthroughs in science, and the latest discoveries in any field. You have high expectations and a deep belief that mankind's problems can be solved through the use of our creative intelligence and inventive mind. You have no patience for those whose conservative, unimaginative outlook limits their capacity to find solutions and envision a better future. You also like to keep abreast of current developments in world affairs, for you instinctively know that what happens in one part of the world affects everyone. You have a strong humanitarian impulse. Practically speaking, you have an aptitude for organization and enjoy being involved in cooperative endeavors or businesses that are contemporary and innovative.      You have an introspective turn of mind and may enjoy keeping a journal or a record of your dreams and personal experiences, or learning about psychology, history, and the inner workings and emotional foundations of your own life. You are studious and something of a bookworm.     Your Pisces mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in "your own little world" a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to "read" people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.     Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, Jon, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.     You seem to have a sense of hopelessness and you feel that everything you do is blocked or opposed by others. You tend to under-estimate and belittle yourself and are inclined to get lost in details. You may find it difficult to concentrate.     You are somewhat restless and in constant search for variety and change, Jon. Cautious in one way and optimistic in another, you frequently change your mind and your philosophy of life. You may prefer mental work and are likely to choose a scientific field.     You have a great mind coupled with great powers of suggestion. People may be drawn to you, fascinated by your energy and power. What you say has great weight with others and they believe you, because you speak with great conviction. Astrological influences analyzed in Chapter 4: Mercury in Aquarius Mercury in 4th house Mercury Square Neptune Mercury Conjunct Mars/Saturn Mercury Conjunct Jupiter/Saturn Mercury Opposition Pluto/MC Section 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance     A serious and responsible Pisces due to the influence of the Moon in Capricorn aspect of your chart, you try to carry the world on your shoulders and rarely let others know that you need help and support. You deny or ignore your own emotional needs and feel that others will not accept you if you appear "weak". You are especially uncomfortable with emotional dependency, and will tell yourself and others (even children) not to be a "baby". You need to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with your "childish" emotional needs and wants. To others, you may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, Jon, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no one is a truer friend. Your feelings and loyalties run deep, but you often do not let people know how much you care. You also need to learn to relax, enjoy yourself, and play sometimes.      You have strong attachments to your past, the place where you grew up, your heritage, and family traditions. In fact, you may be unable to step out of the habits and roles you learned as a child. Your tie to your mother is very strong and you also seek mothering and protection from your spouse and other family members as well.      You tend to have strange quirks, idiosyncrasies, or domestic habits, and you may feel that you don't fit in with "normal" people. These could be endearing eccentricities, or truly outlandish tastes and behavior. Establishing a steady routine and rhythm in your life would be very beneficial but may not be easily achieved. Ideally you can create a unique lifestyle that affords you a lot of personal space, freedom, and flexibility to follow your own somewhat erratic rhythms -- while at the same time providing some order and consistency. There is a current of emotional discontent or restlessness within you also, which may be reflected in unstable personal relationships of the on again/off again variety. Whether you realize it consciously or not, Jon, you crave change and excitement.     A tremendously softhearted and sympathetic Pisces, you give very selflessly and devotedly to those you love and often allow others to become overly dependent upon you. More compassionate than passionate, you may become romantically involved with someone because they need love and you want to help them, rather than out of mutual pleasure or attraction.     You are drawn to sensitive, imaginative, gentle souls -poets, musicians, dreamers - or to someone you feel you can have a deep spiritual relationship with. You idealize love and have a very beautiful, romantic vision of what love can be, Jon, both traits that are even further enhanced by the presence of the Venus in Pisces aspect of your chart.      You love romance and wish the honeymoon phase of your love affairs would last forever! You need dramatic romantic gestures and displays of affection from your partner, and you want to feel very, very special, like a King or Queen, to your beloved. As a Pisces you also have a natural artistic flair and enjoy creating art or beauty in some form. Astrological influences analyzed in Chapter 5: Moon in Capricorn Moon in 4th house Moon Quincunx Uranus Venus in Pisces Venus in 5th house Section 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals     You are very socially oriented and work well in cooperation with others. You may be active in community affairs or unite with others of similar ideals and intentions to work toward a common goal. A progressive and democratic Pisces due to the influence of the Mars in Aquarius aspect of your chart, you are not concerned with hoarding personal power or having authority over others. You are a team player.     New, unconventional methods appeal to you, especially ideas that involve bringing people together or creating fairer working conditions - such as networking, profit sharing, job sharing, etc. New technologies also interest you.     Your energy level is high but somewhat erratic.  You can be impatient, rebellious, and inconstant in pursuing your aims.      It is not easy for you to show the world at large your angry or competitive side, but your family sees this side of you more often. Temper tantrums, tumultuous family relationships, or a great deal of competition between you and one or more of your relations is likely, Jon. You like to be the one in charge in your home and you put a lot of energy into making it the way you want it.     You have a positive, "can-do" attitude and tackle life's challenges with relish. You are self-confident and have a strong will to succeed, to see how much you can do and how far you can go. No matter what you accomplish, you do not rest on your laurels. You want to keep on going, to do even bigger things. You are forward-looking, enterprising, and enthusiastic about new projects. You are not happy in situations that do not offer you challenges and the potential for growth and expansion in the future - no matter how secure or satisfactory they may be in other respects. You enjoy competition, but you compete mostly with yourself, to see how much of your vision and potential you can really achieve. You make a good leader, inspiring courage and confidence in others. You usually enjoy good health and high vitality.     You live your life to the fullest in a deeply loving and exciting way. Strongly instinctive, you act by the dictates of your feelings. You radiate emotional balance and are a sensitive, tactful and naturally friendly Pisces.     Exercising self-control could be quite difficult for you and you may often become involved in quarrels. Some of these disputes could end in violent behavior, if you are not careful. Being with others seems to put you in a constant state of excitement.      Maybe the most important factor in your choice of career and your success or lack of it is having a strong home base. Family support is crucial to you, and you would not sacrifice your family for any sort of advantage or achievement in the outside world. If you have a solid foundation and healthy relationships with your parents, you are likely to fulfill any aspirations you have for accomplishment.      In many ways your rise in the world is an easy one, aided by your personal charm and attractiveness, your ability to please people, and your excellent social instincts. Artistic ambitions are also an aspect of this.      You can be rather antagonistic toward those in authority. Even without realizing it, you may convey this attitude and you may well be threatening to those in power. Thus, however well-meaning you are, you may find your initiatives or projects meet with little favor. Working independently might be your best option.

Node Moon Opposition MC Venus Trine MC Mars Quincunx MC Section 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy      Your strength lies in your ability to be innovative, open to new progressive concepts, willing to experiment and to reject customs and traditions when they cease to serve any positive function in the present. Also, Jon, you have an expansive view of the world, one that includes humanity and not only your own small, personal circle.      You are a fun-loving and playful Pisces, Jon, and you throw yourself into your play with joyous abandon! Whatever your love or enthusiasm of the moment is, you go all out for it. You enjoy sports, recreation, or gambling, and you can be somewhat hedonistic or addicted to having a good time. Your children or your creative pursuits give you much happiness and fulfillment.     Your gaiety, enthusiasm, optimism, and a positive, energetic, upbeat attitude generate a lot of opportunities for you. You enjoy being spontaneous and taking risks. You must have a great deal of personal freedom and independence, and prefer the "wide-open spaces" to a very rigid, structured lifestyle. Your sense of humor and playfulness enable you to make it through the rough spots in life, as well as to bounce back when those gambles you make do not quite pan out. You enjoy surprises and exploring new territory, both intellectually as well as physically.     Your manner is a bit phlegmatic and you could give the impression that everything is too much for you. You also have an innate inclination to be a little on the heavy side and seem to be content and happy leading a secluded and solitary mode of life. Astrological influences analyzed in Chapter 7: Jupiter in Aquarius Jupiter in 5th house Jupiter Opposition Uranus Jupiter Conjunct Sun/Saturn Section 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You      You have an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave you feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with your peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for you.      Your childhood or your relationship with your parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent you from allowing other people to get close to you in later life. You felt deprived in some manner, whether or not you actually were deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of your needs and feelings may typify your early life, at least as you remember it. Forgiving your parents and/or letting go of any resentments you have about the limitations you experienced early in your life is crucial. Also, Jon, you need to build your own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into your home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help you accomplish this.      You tend to be your own worst enemy, demanding inhuman perfection of yourself and harshly criticizing or persecuting yourself when you don't measure up. Perhaps circumstances in your life have been extremely difficult and demanding, reinforcing your belief that you must struggle alone.      You are capable of tremendous effort and of overcoming great odds and handicaps. Through these efforts you develop your power and inner strength. However, don't make life harder than it is. Give yourself permission to let up sometimes, and realize you are only human.     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.     Jon, your path lies in developing yourself as an individual, discovering your own strengths and joys, giving expression to your uniqueness, and letting yourself shine and stand out from the crowd. This involve becoming a leader, even though your instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress you are apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, you may believe that striving to do your personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but you should let go of this notion. Finding your own center and doing what gives you delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution you can offer the world at large.     The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in your public life and career. All of these issues will impact your reputation and standing in your community or professional circle, as well as how you achieve your important life goals and aspirations.     The specific habits which are likely to hold you back, or which you are prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include: Excessive thinking, rationalizing, talking, and overuse or misuse of your intellectual abilities, as well as dissipating your energy in trivial activities.     You are likely to offer help and protection to people around you and encourage moral values. You stand up for social justice and unselfishly work for the good of your community. Refusing any kind of personal advantages, you live in harmony with everyone.

Node Opposition Jupiter/Saturn         Section 9: Originality and Imagination Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive      You have unusual, even eccentric friends, Jon, 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 are yielding, gentle, and impressionable. You tend to "melt" into your surroundings, and do not make a very powerful, vivid impression on others. Especially while young, you may not have a very clear sense of identity.      A naturally sensitive and compassionate Pisces, you do not enjoy fighting and no matter what you profess, you are a pacifist at heart.      You may have a deep aversion to groups, associations, clubs, or organizations of any kind. Any such group you become involved in is likely to be either for intense personal growth, change, and healing, or centered around social change and revising society in some manner.     You are mentally alive and tend to think and speak hastily. At times you may start out with one idea but then wind up with something completely different. You have a natural talent for mathematics, science, technology and certain branches of the occult.     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.     You tend to be a bit ruthless in your pursuits and at times may be rather thoughtless, impatient and combative. Having an intense sense of self-preservation, you are not likely to compromise and may have frequent upsets with others.     Your desire for love is very strong and you are extremely popular. You have what it takes to fascinate many people and are likely to have a good measure of social power. Your generosity is great, and no one who comes to you for help will be turned away.

Node Pluto Opposition Venus/Jupiter Section 10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group     In this chapter we will discuss characteristics and traits of your generation, Jon. 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 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, and often 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, and 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, Jon. Usually, the rebellious type of behavior comes out during adolescence, and tends to subside thereafter, and 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 what is 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.            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, and 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, Jon. There is also a deep mystical sense, and 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 7 year group of people who are unusually self-willed, proud, and egotistical, Jon. 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.
