Astrology: At 34 you're Gemini-Aquarius and energizing; at 82 you're Libra-Aquarius and consolidating; at 130 you're Aquarius-Aquarius and changing.

At 34 and 82 your humanitarian duties tend to be met more at social fund-raising functions than actually mixing with those less fortunate than yourself, but occasionally a curious 34-year old or even a curious 82-year old want the social experience of actually mingling with the slum-dwellers. It's a year of social humanitarianism -- or armchair socialism -- where you take on social responsibilities from a position of comfort.

It's a 100% social year -- there is no ego, emotional or material involvement in this social experiment. It is purely an intellectual experience and its results often become the subject of dinner party conversation or a journal article. The experience of sharing the lives of unfortunates is like putting yourself in the other person's shoes. It's social humanitarianism because unless you have walked even a few steps in somebody else's shoes you cannot relate to other people's suffering. The aim of this type of social humanitarianism is to raise awareness, not to solve the problem or become mired in it.

It is a year of all talk, no action and you will walk away from it believing you are socially enriched or have done your bit for society by raising social awareness if nothing else. The ghouls who gather at scenes of accidents or disasters are often expressing social humanitarian concerns, too. The person who raises the alarm is not necessarily the same person who rolls up his or her sleeves and does mouth to mouth recussitation.

This is your year of social awareness -- your turn to get down and dirty will come along later.
