Theodore Roosevelt
generational influences

Here we will discuss characteristics and traits of Theodore Roosevelt's generation. Of course, Teddy 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 Teddy'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 Teddy's age group. The third and last topic describes what is new and different in his 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 Theodore Roosevelt's Age Group

Theodore Roosevelt is part of a 30-year group of people who are highly motivated by practical concerns. There is a very strong psychological need to feel that there is a firm foundation and a solid basis for one's life. There is an irresistible urge to make sure that the basics are taken care of and everything is built on a solid foundation. Consequently, Roosevelt's generation works hard to improve the economy, ensure adequate food supplies, maintain and build roads and buildings, increase productivity, and develop other facilities that are essential foundations for a healthy, thriving economy.

There is a strong tendency to measure the value of something by its utilitarian value. For example, in education and research the emphasis is on ideas of practical value and there is little support for more purely theoretical research.

Teddy's generation is pragmatic and productive, and is driven by a need to build and improve tangible things. This concern with practical affairs often becomes unbalanced, and a rampant materialism with little regard for humanitarian, ethical, and spiritual values often develops in Theodore Roosevelt's age group.

There is also a strong sensual craving in Theodore Roosevelt's age group, and a great deal of emphasis is placed on physically comfortable surroundings and good food. Romance is particularly important to this age group, and great emphasis is also placed on the physical attractiveness of the opposite sex.

A small minority of members of Roosevelt's age group are likely to be uncomfortable with the practical and materialistic atmosphere of the times, and consequently become alienated and antagonistic towards social norms.

All manner of religions and psychic investigations flourish as well. There is a great interest in ultimate questions and answers as well as in phenomena that do not seem explicable by science alone. Mysticism is on the rise in Theodore Roosevelt's age group. The spiritual qualities of compassion and sacrifice are also highly valued and more openly honored and respected than by other age groups. Spiritual and emotional sensitivity is so highly developed that it leads to escapism through alcohol and drugs, which is likely to increase during Roosevelt's generation.
