The interpretation of your astrology chart begins on the following page.
You will find that the interpretation of your
chart is written in simple language, uncluttered by astrological
jargon. If a statement appears to contradict another statement, then
you exhibit these opposite qualities at different times in your life.
For example, a statement that you are highly sociable and gregarious
and a statement that you prefer solitude seemingly contradict each
other; this means that you vacillate, and need both sociability and
solitude at different times.
The astrological factor that the interpretation
is based on is also given. The astrological factor is given for the
benefit of astrologers and students of astrology. If you are not a
student of astrology, then obviously the factor will not be meaningful
to you, and you can ignore it.
If you find this interpretation of your birth
chart interesting and informative, you might want to discuss your birth
chart with a professional astrologer to learn more about the
astrological influences on your life.

Chapter 1: General Characteristics
Your
fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized
by the four astrological elements. 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.
One of your basic challenges is to learn to
empathize, to enter into others' personal inner experience with
sensitivity and compassion. Real intimacy doesn't come easily to you.
You're apt to think, analyze, and respond coolly and rationally even in
what other people might consider a highly emotional situation, and this
coolness or distance can prevent you from developing deep closeness to
others. You need to learn that logic and reason are only part of the
whole picture, and to respect your own and other people's "irrational",
subjective, emotional experience, which is just as important as the
"facts" of the matter.
Deep emotionalism is uncomfortable for you and
frequently you will avoid, and yet be simultaneously drawn to people
who express intense feelings and emotional needs. With your gift for
verbalization, you may be able to talk about feelings without actually
diving in to your own or others' real experience.
Becoming too intellectual and airy, too removed
from the personal side of life, is a tendency you need to beware of.
As you will read in the next chapter, you
express yourself in a confident, spirited way which, combined with your
verbal abilities and wit, makes you quite and entertaining and
convincing communicator.

Chapter 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.
Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, you like
to be impressive and to be seen as Somebody Special. You are not timid,
meek, or self-effacing, and are rarely content being in the background
or in the subordinate position. You are a natural leader, and do not
take orders from others very well. You must have something of your own,
something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever -
that you can develop and manage according to your own will and vision.
Whatever you do, you do it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. You
like to put your own personal stamp on it.
You also have a very strong sense of dignity,
self-respect, and personal honor and are deeply offended if someone
treats you in a humiliating or dishonorable way. You will rarely
confront the offender - you are too proud to do so - but you will lose
your affection and respect for them. You dislike pettiness and hate to
be snubbed or ignored.
You admire others who are strong individuals
like yourself. When you befriend someone, you are tremendously loyal,
sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person
happy. You are very giving and generous, but your gifts are never
anonymous - you expect recognition and appreciation for them. You also
expect the intense loyalty that you offer to your dear ones to be
reciprocated. However, you often have trouble working with people who
are as strong as yourself, for you do not really cooperate or share the
leading role very easily. If you are not in the leading role, you
aspire to be and will compete with the person who is.
You have great heart and courage, and people
often look to you for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. You
always have your best face forward and rarely allow others to see you
hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. You also have a very strong need
for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although you don't like
others to realize just how important it is to you.
Your outlook on life tends to be very personal
and rather self-centered. Your own self-expression, self-actualization
and self-realization interests you more than anything else. You feel
that if you do your best where you are, the rest of the world will take
care of itself.
You have a friendly, affectionate attitude
towards others and a great deal of personal charm. Your attractiveness
is one of the first things others notice about you, and is probably
something you care a great deal about. You get along well with people
and know how to please them. You have a good sense of style and beauty.
You are forceful and energetic and go for what
you want quite aggressively. You are a doer and an achiever and you
have a positive "I can" attitude. You may run over people and stir up
opposition and conflict because you tend to be very self-centered, or
simply oblivious to the needs and intentions of others.
There is an air of universal sympathy,
gentleness, and nonjudgmental acceptance about you which draws people
in need to you. Because you have a good deal of intuitive insight or
psychic perceptiveness, you're able to say or do just the right thing
for them. You need to beware of fostering dependency in those people,
however.
You have penetrating insight into people
and a keen eye and ear for the hidden, unspoken, behind-the-scenes
elements in life. You may seem intense and make other people a bit
uncomfortable at times. There is also a sexual quality in your manner
which can be quite alluring, in a subtle way.
You are very sociable, have a harmonious
disposition, and are able to have a happy relationship with people in
your environment. Your eternal optimism brings you the affinity of many
people with whom you will have many joyful experiences.

Chapter 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Though you may appear to be a leader (as
described in the previous chapter), you prefer to be an equal partner
rather than an autocrat. Even when you are in a position of authority
you will seek others' opinions before acting. Inside you may feel more
indecisive or concerned with what other people think than your
confident, proud bearing would indicate.
Harmony and balance are your keynotes. You
instinctively understand the need to accommodate other people's
interests and desires, and you are always fair and willing to meet the
other person half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and with considerable
social awareness, you do all you can to avoid conflict and discord. You
express a spirit of cooperation and compromise and often achieve
through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve
by a direct, forceful approach.
Getting along with others and pleasing them may
be TOO important to you, for you can be too dependent on others'
approval and opinions to make your own decisions. You will rarely act
without getting the counsel and feedback of other people. You prefer
sharing and doing things together rather than on your own. Being alone
feels very unnatural to you, and you have a strong need for a partner
and intimate one-to-one relationships.
You invest a great deal of your energy in
personal love and you are very idealistic and romantic about marriage.
You seek a partner who is your equal intellectually, and who is capable
of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. You
make a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and you enjoy the
traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Relationships
are like an art to you, one that requires time, attention, and creative
effort. You appreciate a partner who is subtle and polished, never
coarse or dull or blunt.
Fairness and equality, both in your personal
life and in the world, are extremely important to you. If you fight
about anything, it is often about something you feel is unfair and
unbalanced. Balance is very important to you and you believe in
moderation in all things, avoiding fanaticism and extremism of any sort.
You also have a strong need for beautiful,
harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and
grace, which is reflected in the way you dress, furnish and arrange
your home and workspace, etc. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing
and appropriate. Either working with people as a counselor, advisor,
consultant, or negotiator - or in an artistic field such as design or
photography, would be fulfilling to you.
Ownership gives you a sense of security,
and you have a strong attachment to your possessions. You also have a
natural instinct or understanding of economics, finance, trade, and
appraising the value of merchandise.
The above description of you is so deeply
ingrained that you have little objectivity and often little
appreciation for other, different ways of approaching life. You tend to
be one-sided. There is little ambiguity in your makeup and you
generally know what you want and what will make you happy.
Your deep comprehension and good powers of
concentration give you the ability to judge matters wisely and
prudently. You are a keen observer and also can be a persuasive
speaker. You like to be in control, but need appreciation and
recognition for your efforts.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
You are an exacting perfectionist with a clear,
logical, analytical mind and an aptitude for work that requires
meticulous attention to detail and efficient organization.
Well-grounded and pragmatic, you tend to develop specialized skills and
technical expertise in some practical field. Knowledge, ideas, and
theories don't really interest you unless they are useful in a tangible
way. You are inclined to analyze, measure, and dissect everything and
to miss nuances, subtle shades of feeling and meaning. Your strengths
are in your precise thinking, careful craftsmanship, and mastery of
technical skills. You tend to be very good at what you do and critical
of others' work if it does not meet your high standards.
You are quite verbal and communicative
and eager to get your own ideas and opinions across to others. You say
what is on your mind. Others see you as a lively, intelligent person,
and perhaps something of a chatterbox at times.
Your 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, you may purposefully mystify or
deceive others.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
Your desire for harmonious relationships and
surroundings is so strong that you avoid personal confrontations or any
expression of intense, unpleasant emotions. You are an idealist who
would like to paint the world in pastel colors, and live in peace and
harmony with others at all times. You are able to see points of
similarity and unity with people who are vastly different from
yourself, and befriend many different types of people. You are a
considerate and thoughtful friend, and have a real flair for making
others feel accepted and appreciated. Inwardly you are often torn with
indecision and are much more at odds with yourself than others would
ever guess from your smooth, even disposition.
You are likely to be a great collector of
things - a real pack rat in fact - for your belongings give you a sense
of security and continuity with the past, which is important to you.
Antiques or things with sentimental value from your past are especially
dear to you.
You may also cling rather tightly to both
money and possessions, keeping them "in the family" rather than sharing
freely with those outside of your immediate circle.
Generally sunny and optimistic yourself,
you have a cheering effect on those around you. You like and need
people, and others genuinely like you too. You enjoy a wide circle of
friends who are like family to you. Entertaining, partying, social
activities, and fellowship are essential ingredients for your emotional
well-being.
Your emotional attitudes and instincts
tend to be quite liberal. You so not want to be caged or dictated to,
and you feel everyone is entitled to do as they please in their
personal and emotional affairs. You tend to surround yourself with
people who are unusual, creative, open-minded, unpredictable, restless,
and changeable, and your relationships, with women in particular, may
be somewhat unstable as a result. However, you enjoy an element of
surprise and unpredictability.
You are quietly devoted and faithful to your
loved ones, and often become a kind of servant to your love partner.
You are more comfortable showing love for someone by doing something
for them, making something for them, or simply being there for them
-rather than telling them so in a romantic, soul-stirring sort of way.
You are timid about expressing too much sentiment or emotion. You also
underestimate your attractiveness and lovability and doubt your own
worthiness to receive love and appreciation.
You are very much aware of your personal
appearance, attractiveness, and charm, and you can be rather
narcissistic. On the other hand, you are concerned with getting along
with others and you have a pleasing, agreeable manner that people find
quite appealing. You use tact or charm to get what you want rather than
intense effort or force. Your desire for love and affection colors
everything you do.
You are extremely amorous and it is difficult
for you to go without a romantic involvement for very long. When you
are attracted to someone, you pursue them very ardently and sometimes
come on too strong. Doing creative work or artistic work can also
satisfy the very strong desire for love and beauty that you feel.
Sensitive and compassionate, you tend to be the
"giver" in any relationship. You have high ideals and a refined
attitude towards love, seeking to relate in ways that are beyond ego
needs and selfishness. You are attracted to people with artistic or
mystical inclinations.
Your romantic relationships tend to be
deep, intense, passionate, and highly emotional. It's "all or nothing"
with you. Oftentimes you are irresistibly attracted to someone and you
feel that you have very little choice or control over your powerful
feelings.
You may well be highly magnetic and
sexually attractive yourself. Beware of using this power to manipulate
people, for you could gain the reputation of being a "user".
You have a need for calm and peaceful
surrounding, but your somewhat passionate nature could bring on
arguments and fights about love matters. You love your work and may
connect your profession with a hobby in some way.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You are a perfectionist and have high standards
for your own work. You often feel that if you want something done right
you must do it yourself, for others do not do as thorough a job as you
do. Doing a task well is very important to you, and you may labor over
minute details that others wouldn't bother with. You strive for
accuracy, efficiency, and precision, and you become very irritable when
things are not done "right".
On the other hand, you can become so much of a
perfectionist and so self-critical that you will not even attempt many
activities and projects, feeling that your efforts simply won't be good
enough. You are usually modest and realistic in assessing what you can
accomplish and, if anything, you underestimate yourself. Of course,
practice makes perfect, and if you do apply yourself diligently in some
area, you gradually gain self-confidence as you master skills and
develop expertise.
You conserve your energy and pace
yourself so that you do not waste or diffuse your efforts. An
unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can
sometimes limit your opportunities. In short, you may not aim high
enough and settle for too little in life.
You are a doer and an achiever.
Energetic, courageous, and often impatient, you will forge ahead with
your plans regardless of others' reservations. In fact, you often feel
other people get in your way and you prefer working on your own. You
are active, assertive, and rather competitive as well.
You are enterprising, ambitious, and have a
strong desire to succeed in a big way. Ever on the lookout for new
opportunities and promising new ventures, you are willing to take risks
if you sense that something is going to be a winner. No matter how much
you accomplish, you never seem to be completely satisfied. You always
feel you can do more, and set your sights on another goal. You feel
frustrated in limited circumstances, and you will leave secure and
reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges and
potential for growth and expansion in the future. You like to keep
stretching your limits, to see how far you can go. Sometimes you
overextend yourself or promise more than you can actually achieve, due
to an overly optimistic or overly confident assessment of your own
capacities. You relish healthy competition and feel that it spurs you
on to even greater achievements.
Although enterprising and forward-looking, you
are also capable of much self-discipline, patience, and effort. You may
swing from confidence and trust in the future to pessimism and doubt,
when it comes to achieving your aims in life.
Conscientious, responsible, and serious
about your work, you accomplish a great deal through your dedication.
You are the person in the office or company who follows through,
quietly sustains the effort, and keeps on going in spite of tedium,
setbacks, or dry spells. This is often the key to your success.
However, you are humble about your accomplishments and contributions,
and may thus not receive the recognition or recompense you deserve.
Although you are patient and steady when
pursuing an objective, when you finally lose patience you lose it
completely! In addition to having great tenacity and perseverance, you
have a daring and rebellious side as well:
Intensely restless, dynamic, and energetic, you
are always on the go. When you want something, you want it NOW, and you
act decisively, impulsively, sometimes hastily and prematurely.
Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you find it
difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are fiercely
individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of
restraints and restrictions imposed by others. You have a reckless
disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating
with others is not your strong point! You are often brutally frank and
abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when you are pursuing a
desired goal. You may have an explosive temper when your will is
blocked. You have a superabundance of energy and need much personal
freedom to do things in your own style and at your own pace.
You are sensitive to everything around you and
soak up experiences like a sponge. You must avoid becoming depressed
when things do not go your way. You also need to overcome being
somewhat timid and to build up your own self-image.
You are very ambitious, diligent and
industrious and seem to be blessed with a good dose of luck. You tend
to succeed with your objectives on a big scale and can expect
advantages, advancements and promotions in your occupation.
You are always trying to escape routine and
have a strong desire for new experiences. You may feel that the course
of your life is oppressive and use all the strength at your disposal to
rebel against it.
You are quite restless and indefatigable in the
pursuit of your objectives. Only satisfied with maximum results, you
fight to the last moment. Some of your endeavors could be a bit daring
though, and your aims a bit high.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
Your strength lies in your ability to see
the whole, rather than only the parts which compose it. You have a deep
need to explore the world and to develop your own philosophy of life
and sense of personal meaning. You vacillate between being open-minded
and tolerant of differing views, and being dogmatic or overly zealous
about your own viewpoint.
You are very hospitable and love having a
large, comfortable, gracious home where you can welcome guests as well
as family. Your childhood or heritage was very nourishing and
supportive, giving you a solid, emotionally secure basis for your life,
and you are therefore inclined to share what you have freely and
generously.
Investing in your home or real estate is likely to be very rewarding for you.
You are very enthusiastic and high-spirited.
You inject a positive, optimistic note into any endeavor, and others
enjoy your fun-loving and enterprising attitude.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You both yearn for, and fear, being
emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional
intimacy. Trusting others and letting yourself be known in a deep way
doesn't come easily to you, and sexual inhibitions may result from
this. You are very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive.
Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be
completely open, are important tasks for you.
You are serious-minded and may have
difficulty making light social conversation or participating in
friendly, personal interchanges.
You try to be strictly accurate and are
critical of people who exaggerate or talk on subjects they really know
little about. You withhold your thoughts and opinions until you have
thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes your silence
discomforts others.
Your mental concentration is very good but your breadth of understanding may not be.
You are suspicious of groups, crowds, and
social organizations. You are quick to notice social games and
insincerities, and you avoid the limelight and glamour. You are direct
and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and
often unwilling to communicate your innermost feelings and thoughts.
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.
You need to take what you have learned (either
through formal education or your own questing and life experience) and
share it with others, communicate it, express it in a way others can
benefit from. Knowledge and understanding which does not enhance the
quality of life for yourself and others in your world is of little real
value. Putting your understanding, philosophy, and convictions into
practice in your daily interactions with people, and in the multiple
small choices you make everyday will enable you to really test your
belief system and discover more about life.
When under stress you are apt to seek refuge in
imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with
what is at hand. Cultivate your ability to live in the present!
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.
You tend to be a bit too idealistic and may
place too much hope on your associations with others, resulting in
frequent disappointments. You could be attracted to naive people, but
some of your contacts also may turn out to be swindlers.

Chapter 9: Originality and ImaginationAreas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive
Your childhood or your relationship with
your parents was unsettling or unstable in some way, so that you may
never have felt that you had firm ground beneath your feet. One of your
parents may have been unusual, eccentric, or an inconstant influence in
your life. Abrupt changes in location or in family relationships may
have made you feel insecure, but positively you were given more freedom
and less pressure to conform to conventions, which enables you to be
more of an individual and less tethered to restrictive ideas of how one
"should" behave, feel, or live.
Your childhood and early home life were
colored by a great deal of confusion or by people with unusually active
imaginations, aspirations, or fantasies. It is difficult for you to see
your childhood and your relationship with your parents in a clear,
realistic light. You may search for the ideal, loving home you wish you
had, or believe you had, when you were a child. Finding inner peace and
a sense of emotional security within yourself is important to you.
You are likely to have a fixation on
money, wealth, and material resources. You may totally renounce
material desires and ownership, or become obsessed with having, owning,
and accumulating. Your attitudes towards owning, keeping, and sharing
will undergo major changes in your lifetime, and your fortunes are
likely to run very hot or very cold.
You are inclined to wish that others would
spoil you or seduce you. Your longing for love is very strong and you
tend to imagine yourself in beautiful romantic situations which may
never attain fulfillment. Love for you could work out tragic in some
way.
You tend to seek the easy way out to the
solution of your problems and often may be tempted to take a devious
course of action. Your objectives are likely to be self supporting and
you may act ruthlessly or underhandedly towards others at times.
You don't seem to be at ease with the world
around you and may experience periodic states of depression. You should
guard against underhanded schemes or misrepresented facts when dealing
with others in order to prevent being hurt or disappointed.

Chapter 10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group
In this chapter we will discuss characteristics
and traits of your generation. 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 12 year group of people who
are deeply interested in personal relationships. Your age group has a
deeply-rooted yearning to see people relating and communicating with
each other effectively and harmoniously. There is little egotism and a
willingness to hear the other person's side of the story and a
readiness to compromise and arbitrate different points of view. In
fact, the need for harmonious, peaceful relationships is so strong that
there is a tendency to overlook real differences and to focus only on
the similarities in an attempt to bring different parties into harmony
with each other.
Interest in psychology and sociology is high in
your age group. There is a tremendous heightening of awareness of
social skills. Your age group will experiment with different marriage
styles, family relationships, and even business relationships in an
attempt to bring fair treatment and effective communication between
people. Interest and appreciation for other cultures is also strong,
and your age group will work hard to preserve and support the cultural
heritage of all ethnic groups.
Your strong yearning for equitable and
harmonious relationships is also reflected in major advancements in
trade agreements, arms control, and international cooperation that are
designed and implemented by your generation. These agreements and
policies foster a much safer and more cooperative environment for all,
although there is also a tendency for greedy individuals to take
advantage of the conciliatory atmosphere and twist situations to their
own ends.
In short, you are part of a generation of
individuals who are deeply interested in other people; you are a
humanistic and humanitarian group. You will struggle and experiment
with personal relationships, and forge new models for how people can
relate as friends, family members, and members of nations as well.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people that
are extremely idealistic and farsighted in their dreams. Your age group
is very liberal and expansive in outlook, and consequently churches
become much more flexible and more eclectic in their approach during
your life time. Religions that do not adapt to the broad-minded
attitude of your age group simply are unable to attract very much
interest and involvement from you.
A great deal of metaphysical musing and
speculation is evident in your age group, and there is a very strong
interest in all manner of psychic phenomena, UFO's, prophecy, 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.
The entire generation to which you belong
has tremendous opportunities for spiritual rebirth and awakening. This
will not be forced upon you or precipitated by unavoidable events,
rather it comes from an inner yearning and a natural propensity to seek
the depths.
What is New and Different in Your Age Group
You are part of a 7 year group of people who
are extremely enterprising and forward-looking. You are optimists and
explorers. Your age group shoots for the stars, figuratively and
literally. Space exploration takes on new dimensions as your age group
pushes fervently to the next frontier. There is a buoyant and youthful
optimism and enthusiasm in your group, and you have your 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.
