Friedrich Engels
generational influences

Here we will discuss characteristics and traits of Friedrich Engels' generation. Of course, Friedrich may not share all of the characteristics of his generation, but he is greatly affected by the tone that is set by his 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 Friedrich'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 Friedrich's age group. The third and last topic describes what is new and different in his age group; it highlights areas in which Engels' 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 Friedrich Engels' Age Group

Friedrich Engels is part of a 25-year group of people who are highly imaginative and intuitive. Friedrich Engels' age group has a deep, inner yearning for a more idyllic life, and their rich imagination dreams up many ways to attain these lofty goals. The yearning for a more perfect and beautiful world sometimes leads to feelings of frustration with the "real world". It is particularly difficult for those of Engels' generation who experience difficult childhoods or lack the inner strength to adequately meet life's challenges; consequently, increased alcoholism and drug use can easily ensue.

Unique contributions to literature and music abound in his generation. Spiritual and religious aspirations are also common. Friedrich's generation is driven by less tangible ideals than other generations. Spiritual aspirations, artistic inspirations, hopes and fantasies are the driving power behind Engels' age group.

Friedrich Engels was also born during a period that lasted approximately 5 years and is characterized by extreme restlessness and an impatient, dynamic attitude towards life. He is part of a group of people who can be explosive and even violent in their reactions to situations. They do not tolerate being restricted, and rebel with force and anger against oppression.

The Ideals and Illusions of Friedrich Engels' Age Group

Friedrich Engels is part of a 14-year group of people that are extremely idealistic and intuitive. Friedrich Engels' age group is very liberal and expansive in outlook, and consequently religious institutions become much more flexible and eclectic in their approach during Engels' lifetime. Religions that do not adapt to the broad-minded attitude of Engels' age group are simply unable to attract much interest or involvement.

Intense metaphysical musings are evident in Friedrich Engels' age group, and they share a very deep interest in all manner of psychic phenomena, UFO's, prophecies, etc. This interest will open many new doors and insights, but will also often lead to a great deal of fantasizing and speculation that is taken more seriously than it should be.

Friedrich Engels was also born during a period that lasted approximately 5 years and is characterized by an unusually high degree of imagination and sensitivity. He is part of a group of people who are very inspired yet also unstable. This age group has made many unusual contributions to the arts, music, religion and psychic development. These works are often strange and bizarre, and always original. Friedrich Engels' age group also inspires intense political movements that are often fanatical or unreasonable in their goals.

The entire generation to which Friedrich Engels belongs has tremendous interest in anything unusual and imaginative. His age group likes to look at itself as being "different". Wild fashions, styles, art, and music are brought forth by Engels' age group. Serious problems like drug and alcohol abuse are likely among this age group and Friedrich Engels should strive to not be coaxed into unhealthy and destructive habits. Instead, Friedrich should use his vivid imagination to discover new artistic and spiritual dimensions that are inspiring and constructive.

What is New and Different in Friedrich Engels' Age Group

Friedrich Engels is part of a 7-year group of people who are extremely enterprising and progressive. They are optimists and explorers. His age group shoots for the stars, figuratively and literally. Space exploration takes on new dimensions as Engels' age group pushes fervently to the next frontier. There is a buoyant and youthful optimism and enthusiasm in his group, and it has its share of great discoveries as well as pipe dreams and disillusionment. The discoveries and contributions, however, are many, and more than compensate for the failures.
