John Keats
generational influences

Here we will discuss characteristics and traits of John Keats' generation. Of course, John 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 John'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 John's age group. The third and last topic describes what is new and different in his age group; it highlights areas in which Keats' 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 John Keats' Age Group:

John Keats is part of a 20-year group of people who are friendly and gregarious, but not sentimental and not as emotional as other age groups. This generation does not cling to the past and tends to build stronger relationships with friends and colleagues than with family members. Many of John Keats' age group will leave home, and increased urbanization is likely as they flock to areas with more hustle, bustle, and social activity.

John Keats' generation has a strong emotional need to cooperate and unite. These are team players and collective action is a very high priority. Businesses, organizations, and companies grow to enormous proportions, and much advancement in science is made possible by this huge cooperative effort. Some governments and their political borders expand, and some people become wary of the increasing power of companies, industries, and governments. Clashes in political ideologies are critical during the life of Keats' age group, and unfortunately, as we know from history, there can be considerable damage and harm arising from a clash of large organizations or governments. This is rather ironic where Keats' age group is concerned since these larger social structures stem from the group's deeply felt, largely subconscious, need to cooperate and bring people together.

The Ideals and Illusions of John Keats' Age Group:

John Keats is part of a 14-year group of people that have very intense psychic sensitivity and imagination. John Keats' age group is very attracted to the strange, the bizarre and the unusual.

What is New and Different in John Keats' Age Group:

John Keats 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.

John's generation also boasts a curious mixture of both conservative, ethical people, and rebellious, disruptive people. There seems to be little middle ground for Keats' age group, and he 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 Keats' generation are angry at the established way of doing things and act in a defiant, crude, and coarse manner.
