Eleanor Roosevelt
generational influences

Here we will discuss characteristics and traits of Eleanor Roosevelt's generation. Of course, Eleanor may not share all of the characteristics of her generation, but she is greatly affected by the tone that is set by her generation.

The first topic focuses on the subconscious and emotional drive of this age group. In this section we will describe a deeply felt urge - and even compulsion - of Eleanor's age group. This deeply felt drive comes to the surface very forcefully, thereby leaving considerable upheaval and change in its wake. The second topic concerns the dreams, fantasies and spiritual aspirations of Eleanor's age group. The third and last topic describes what is new and different in her age group; it highlights areas in which Roosevelt's age group tends to be innovative, inventive and unusual, as well as 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 Eleanor Roosevelt's Age Group

Eleanor Roosevelt is part of a 30-year group of people with a carefree attitude towards life. Their subconscious and emotional needs are not as great or as complex as those of other generations. They approach life in a more easygoing manner. They know how to have a good time and they do not take life as seriously as other generations do.

This is a curious and inquisitive bunch that loves puzzles and word games. Some members of Roosevelt's generation will follow these interests in great depth, and make spectacular breakthroughs in the areas of languages, mathematics and logic.

Their breakthroughs also highlight the importance of educational skills and their benefits, and Roosevelt's generation is highly motivated to improve educational standards and academic skills. A tremendous push is given to ensure literacy for all, foster adequate verbal and mathematical skills, and slow down the high school dropout rate. Needless to say, these are noble goals that all generations support, but this generation puts a much greater emphasis on these issues than other age groups do.

The generation following Eleanor Roosevelt's is far more emotional and personally sensitive than Roosevelt's group. Consequently, many of them are oblivious to the emotional support and tender nurturing that these children (who are likely to be members of this next generation) require.

Eleanor Roosevelt was also born during a period that lasted approximately 5 years and is characterized by a very dynamic and competitive spirit. Roosevelt's age group has yielded many reformers and dynamic personalities who introduce fundamental changes in all walks of life, science, politics, etc. She is part of a dynamic wave of highly spirited, progressive thinkers. They have the opportunity to be instrumental in inspiring a great deal of reform, most of which will be positive and constructive.

The Ideals and Illusions of Eleanor Roosevelt's Age Group

Eleanor Roosevelt is part of a 14-year group of people that are very practical and down-to-earth in their religious philosophy and spiritual outlook. Her age group incorporates its ideals and visions into everyday life, and invests more time and energy than other generations in beautification projects, developing parks and recreation areas, and preserving beautiful or unique natural wildlife areas. Building construction is also done with careful attention to aesthetic quality, and Roosevelt's generation finds it difficult to understand how other age groups can erect buildings with so little aesthetic appeal.

Her age group does not speculate a great deal about spiritual and metaphysical matters. They are more involved in utilizing their imagination and intuition in practical, artistic ways rather than exploring metaphysical issues. Some of the art and music of Roosevelt's generation is among the world's most beautiful.

What is New and Different in Eleanor Roosevelt's Age Group

Eleanor Roosevelt is part of a 7-year group of people who employ their skills and creativity to promote a great deal of practical reform in education, medical care, and other social services. Their innovations are not radical or unusual, but they are usually effective.

Eleanor's generation also boasts a curious mixture of both conservative, ethical people, and rebellious, disruptive people. There seems to be little middle ground for Roosevelt's age group, and she swings from one extreme to the other. The conservative people strive to reinstate strict moral standards, want to swiftly punish criminal behavior, and strive to highlight the importance of old-fashioned values in our lives, laws, and overall life style. On the other hand, the rebellious people of Roosevelt's generation are angry at the established way of doing things and act in a defiant, crude, and coarse manner.
