With PRACTICALITY not being HIS strong point, RATZINGER may have a JOB that does not match HIS CAPABILITIES.

          JOSEPH should think about hiring a housekeeper since HE hates housework. This can extend to Ratzinger's position as the head of the Catholic Church. In HIS position as POPE, Ratzinger will most probably play the leader of the Catholic Church while allowing others to do the actual "Housework" of Catholic doctrine.
          JOSEPH's PROCRASTINATING NATURE keeps HIM from accomplishing HIS goals unless HE is highly stimulated to action.

          JOSEPH RATZINGER is able to become more productive through HIS UNCONSCIOUS DESIRE to PROVE HIMSELF on the job.
          JOSEPH RATZINGER'S HEALTH will very likely be GOOD through HIS entire life.

          As a FIXED, DETERMINED, and HARDWORKING individual JOSEPH RATZINGER can become a WORKAHOLIC. HE finds very little time to enjoy fun and amusement. This could be DETRIMENTAL to JOSEPH's HEALTH if HE does not apply some restraint to that work activity on occassion. This workaholic attitude may spring from a resentment of the burden of some form of heavy work in HIS childhood.
          JOSEPH has a respect for authority with a wish to be considered an authority HIMSELF.
          A tendency for MODERATION and CONSERVATISM runs deep in RATZINGER'S consciousness.
          HE is well aware of people's motives.
          Although HE is inclined to be somewhat obstinate, RATZINGER is fundamentally practical, organized, and particularly good at maintaining the daily routine of business or office. RATZINGER has learned to discipline HIS subconscious tendency to restlessness and changing the routine to suit HIMSELF, and now works for the good of the organization. JOSEPH prefers a job where HE knows the routine and does not have to deal with greater responsibilities and the personal problems of employees. HIS loyalty to the organization can bring JOSEPH a supervisory role that HE can handle well. RATZINGER'S lack of the intense self-sustained drive necessary to reach the top of the competitive totem pole can keep HIM from acheiving the pinnacle of HIS field or organization. If Ratzinger does acheive such a role, that acheived top role will be a major illusion, as seen by the public.

          Opposition is not handled well by JOSEPH as HE thinks HE has everything working well enough. This can cause outrage and indignation since RATZINGER does not feel anyone has the right to change the precision machine HE operateS.
          Emotions are dealt with in a similar manner that HE deals with life itself. When challenged, JOSEPH reacts with STUBBORNNESS, ANGER, and DEEP RESENTMENT.
          RATZINGER likes to be one of the crowd. Experiencing or witnessing injustice brings a moody state over HIM that develops into a deep dislike and hatred.

          LOYAL and INTENSE in LOVE, ROMANCE, and MARRIAGE, JOSEPH RATZINGER is generally FAITHFUL to HIS partner. Of course, as Pope, this partner is THE CHURCH. Once attached, RATZINGER becomes a POTENT and CONSCIENTIOUS partner taking PRIDE in HOME, FAMILY, POSSESSIONS, and WORKING HARD to PROVIDE the necessities for this relationship. This can easily change if HIS partner refuses to support or encourage HIM when work is not going well for HIM. This lack of support and encouragement brings a vulnerability to the charms of another more willing to build HIS pride and sense of worth.

          On the subconscious level JOSEPH RATZINGER is NEVER SATISFIED, HE DEMANDS VARIETY, and tends to have a TOTALLY MATERIALISTIC and PHYSICAL view of life.
          HE is RESTLESS, TRIVIAL, and SELF-INDULGENT, primarily CONCERNED with HIS own PLEASURE.
          RATZINGER is FLIGHTY, seeking TOO MUCH CHANGE, and SCATTERS HIS THOUGHTS and ENERGIES in TOO MANY DIRECTIONS at one time.
          In a CRISIS JOSEPH would probably be NERVOUS, IRRESPONSIBLE, and OVERLY TALKATIVE, thinking of MANY DIFFERENT THINGS TO DO AT ONCE and GET NONE OF THEM DONE.
          When JOSEPH loses HIS SELF-CONTROL HE becomes completely LOST possibly ending up SCREAMING or just CRYING and SHAKING, thus ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING. I do NOT believe that RATZINGER would do well in this lifetime in a TRULY SPIRITUAL CONFRONTATION!

          JOSEPH should allow HIS FORCE, INDEPENDENCE, ORIGINALITY, ACTIVITY, INTELLIGENCE, and POSITIVENESS to MEET LIFE'S EXPERIENCES.
          COURAGE, CREATIVITY, STRENGTH of WILL, DETERMINATION, PROGRESSIVENESS, and JOSEPH'S FAITH in HIS PIONEERING, INVENTIVE, and INDIVIDUALISTIC BEHAVIOR will bring forth the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of HIS life.

          JOSEPH RATZINGER'S CHARACTER was built on the QUALITIES of INDIVIDUALITY, INDEPENDANCE, CREATIVENESS, PROGRESSIVENESS, LEADERSHIP, INVENTION, STIMULATION, MENTAL and PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, a STRONG WILL, DETERMINATION, ORIGINALITY, and COURAGE.
          Thus JOSEPH may tend to be STUBBORN and EGOTISTICAL if HE is not CAREFUL.

FRIENDLY

          JOSEPH RATZINGER has a talent for visualization, for making others see what possibilities exist. This helps HIM contribute a sense of the decorative and fun through gifts, creations, jokes, flowers, color, toys, and items of luxury.
          JOSEPH has great energy and vitality and a need for stimulation and diversity. This combined with HIS vivid imagination may create invisible friends or tall tales. This is likely to be involved with the "spiritual confrontations" previously mentioned.
          It may be too easy for JOSEPH RATZINGER to "go with the flow" since HIS natural psychic guides usually manage to bring HIM out on top in difficult situations if he works with these GUIDES. It would be more to RATZINGER's physical and spiritual advantage not to misuse this connection by purposely allow HIMSELF to get into those difficult situations.
          Unless RATZINGER can see a direct benefit from the practical aspects of living for HIMSELF and others, HE tends to sidestep them. This causes JOSEPH to put things off and live in the moment with possible more negative consequences.

          JOSEPH has an open heart and want others to be happy, too.
          HE can give things away easily, knowing more will come HIS way. However, for JOSEPH, this does not apply to HIM as HE is more generous with HIS possessions than he is with HIMSELF. This can cause problems in close personal relationships in which JOSEPH becomes involved.
          Many friends and a sense of belonging are vital to JOSEPH'S well-being. HE has a knack for convincing others and can even believe HIS own rhetoric at times.
          Since cultivating social contacts can contribute greatly to HIS success, JOSEPH must be sure HIS dues are paid up for HIS networking group! Meaning that HE should work hard to make sure HE doesn't purposely work to make those friends into enemies.

          Not liking to work hard or plan too far ahead JOSEPH loves the easy life, especially pleasure and spontaneity.
          A natural flirt and romantic, JOSEPH enjoys the trappings of courtship more than the responsibilities of marriage. Here again lies a possible troubling area in JOSEPH'S close personal relationships if HE feels HIS partner, THE CHURCH, is not doing IT'S part to keep the courtship effect working.
          The lifestyle and pace of the entertainment world would be a natural environment for RATZINGER.

          If JOSEPH becomes too carefree in the business aspects of HIS life, that attitude may alienate more serious types HE works with. Completion is not the most important aspect of a project to JOSEPH.           It is important for JOSEPH'S parents to recognize HIS creativity and to give praise for projects brought to completion. Those parents must learn that a firm but gentle approach is helpful in encouraging discipline while allowing JOSEPH the necessary time for daydreaming and playing.

          Generally JOSEPH has a positive outward expression but may become negative when a sense of humor is lost or where opportunities are left unfulfilled through lack of follow-through on HIS part.

IF JOSEPH RATZINGER'S PERSONALITY IS OUT OF BALANCE:
          This can be the more negative side of JOSEPH RATZINGER'S personality as HE tends to be over-talkative, self-indulgent, escapist, reckless, or profligate. HE is surprisingly vulnerable to outside criticism and may react in a childish, impulsive manner, later regretting HIS words, but tending to rationalize HIS behavior. RATZINGER should be careful not to get stuck in a bad position through HIS vanity or selfishness.

WHAT POPE BENEDICT HAS BEEN BORN TO ACCOMPLISH

POPE BENEDICT's mode of operation can be described as:
KEYWORDS FOR POPE BENEDICT IN THIS LIFE

          An upholder of the law, JOSEPH values traditional methods of attaining goals through hard work, planning. HE tends to go along with rules, accepting authority figures. JOSEPH tends to select a CONVENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.

          JOSEPH is STUBBORN and OPINIONATED at times. NOT AS STRICT AS OTHERS RATZINGER tends to be SYMPATHETIC and UNDERSTANDING. But not this can be used as an UNCONSCIOUS POWER PLAY if HE continually associates with people HE has to "fix", thereby ASSURING HIS SUPERIOR POSITION without using overt power.

          JOSEPH has GOOD JUDGEMENT, DOES WELL in BUSINESS involving the HEART and EMOTIONS.
          HE is usually a CONNOISSEUR of FOOD and WINE and probably a VERY GOOD COOK.
          HE is a NATURAL HOST, PARENT, GUARDIAN, FRIEND, and COMMUNITY WORKER.

          JOSEPH'S CRAVING for RESPONSIBILITY may drive HIM to attempt to INFLUENCE OTHERS LIFE LESSONS. It will be better for RATZINGER if HE DOES NOT; this is a MISDIRECTION of HIS ENERGY and an INVITATION to MARTYRDOM.

          COMPANIONSHIP is VERY IMPORTANT to JOSEPH. The support of a LOVING FAMILY and FRIENDS is ESSENTIAL to HIS HAPPINESS.
          JOSEPH will always find some way to TEACH OTHERS, whether it is part of HIS job, or HIS extra-curricular activities.

HOPES AND FEARS:

          JOSEPH RATZINGER will wither if HE does not feel useful.
          JOSEPH may be SO IDEALISITIC about MARRIAGE and DOMESTIC LIFE that HE may never marry or may divorce if he does marry.
          HE tends to worry a lot about small things and yet is able to take larger issues in HIS stride. JOSEPH also tends to be ANXIOUS, tearing HIMSELF up if others do not do what HE considers the "right thing".

          JOSEPH'S DESIRE to SOLVE PROBLEMS QUICKLY makes HIM quite IMPULSIVE. Although JOSEPH fears playing martyr, HE will often wind up taking on too much responsibility anyway. HE needs to feel secure and can be AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL. HE probably fears competition, and fears being considered stingy.

          JOSEPH hopes for the health of all HE knows and for harmony in HIS home life.

MARRIAGE:

          JOSEPH RATZINGER can be the IDEAL PARTNER, capable of EXPRESSING LOVE in all HE does. But HE can also be a VERY CONTROLLING PERSON, taking more of a PARENTAL role than a SPOUSAL role.
          HE may want to take charge of HIS spouse's career in his or her best interests.
          JOSEPH could certainly create a nice environment for business entertaining.
          It is hard to get JOSEPH to change HIS mind about something unless the pragmatic benefits are obvious.

          Generally, JOSEPH'S home will be beautiful, well cared for, and hospitable.
          HE loves to entertain and feels best when surrounded by family and friends.
          JOSEPH takes great pride in the accomplishments of HIS children.

          It is difficult for JOSEPH to be AFFECTIONATE and HE can be PERSONALLY HURT if HIS partner/s "fails" in areas that are vital to JOSEPH'S well-being.

          With an ECCENTRIC or SKEPTICAL personality, JOSEPH RATZINGER enjoys ANALYZING, QUESTIONING, and THINKING.

          Needing lots of QUIET TIME, JOSEPH prefers to be left alone.

          If JOSEPH is not allowed the COUNTRY LIFE that HE LOVES, HE structures the city life around HIM in a suitable way to allow for a country feel. HE may be able to accomplished this by working at night.

          PROUD, SELECTIVE, THOUGHTFUL, REFLECTIVE, RATZINGER either chooses to surround HIMSELF with articles of good taste, or, HE may live very simply with few material possessions. When HE does buy, quality rather than thrift is uppermost in HIS mind, and HE values the odd and the old.
          JOSEPH values refinement and perfection and will take the time to do something right. HE is willing to wait for what HE wants.

          Interested in philosophy, psychology, and research, RATZINGER has inner wisdom.
          JOSEPH may seem distant, cold, and formal to those who don't know HIM well. The reason for this is that HE does not like small talk, but is eloquent, when interested in the subject, with a tendency to TEACH the LESSONS of LIFE. A rather STERN PARENT with HIGH EXPECTATIONS, JOSEPH may be a STRICT TEACHER and rather FORMAL.
          Slow to change, JOSEPH may be considered ARROGANT and STUBBORN. HE may TRY TOO HARD to ACCOMPLISH things.
          HE would probably rather study genetics than raise children.
          Though HE is TOLERANT of UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR in OTHERS, a mundane, literal, or boring life will take HIM down.

          With a very powerful appearance JOSEPH RATZINGER exudes confidence, assertiveness, intelligence, and competence. As a traditional and careful individual, HE takes pride in HIS education, accomplishments, and vocabulary. Having an impressive title is rather important to JOSEPH RATZINGER'S well being and HE does not care for nicknames.
          JOSEPH'S natural maturity and well balanced outlook enable HIM to grasp business information quickly which helps HIM do well in emergencies and under pressure. Others look to RATZINGER for guidance in crisis situations projecting their needs and problems onto HIM.

          JOSEPH exudes authority, is usually quite demanding, and very ambitious, and employers and coworkers immediately sense HE is a hard worker. JOSEPH is well suited for the corporate structure, and will always be given responsibility. HE works hard to maintain the best life-style HE can and does not feel right in a subordinate position.

          JOSEPH probably considers HIMSELF "just a kid" for most of HIS life.

          HIS main task in this lifetime is to LEARN RESPONSIBILITY! This lifetime will become very frustrating for JOSEPH until HE becomeS aware of this fact.

          While HIS optimistic and laissezfaire attitude works in many situations, breaking promises and not paying attention to the details assigned to JOSEPH will create havoc in HIS life.

          JOSEPH has a gift for raising the spirits of others and showing great affection.

          Generally JOSEPH'S financial situation will appear rather good throughout HIS life.

          One of JOSEPH'S main purposes in this life is to EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE, and TOUCH.
          A personal instability makes HIM RESTLESS and IMPATIENT with a "grass is greener" impulse, that presents a problem to steady relationships and routine jobs. This RESTLESSNESS and IMPATIENCE can lead to IMMODERATION in the PHYSICAL SENSES through OVER-EATING, DRINKING, GAMBLING, SEX, or DRUGS. This will also allow JOSEPH to be able to take risks and accept change easily.
          A lesson JOSEPH must learn is to structure HIS life in such a way so that HE has the freedom HE needs to explore without causing serious disruption to the productive aspects of HIS life.
          If JOSEPH is unable to release this nervous energy, HE may become rigid, inflexible, and hang on to outmoded beliefs, and be unable to change when necessary. This may cause JOSEPH to fear new experiences and become SEXUALLY ECCENTRIC.

          JOSEPH should not feel HE has finished a project when HE has satisfied HIS curiosity or gotten what HE wanted out of it. Leaving a project, or projects, unfinished can cause JOSEPH to feel guilty.

          Not worrying about tomorrow, JOSEPH is outgoing and gregarious. Happy, optimistic, loving, and generous, HE does not like to be criticized.
          HE loves to talk about possibilities rather than facts. This helps HIM come up with new ideas quite often.
          JOSEPH can be very sarcastic or witty.
          HIS love of travel, throwing parties, and giving presents, may cause others to see HIM "scattered" or as a social butterfly gathering the nectar of life first from one situtation then another.
          JOSEPH does not put HIMSELF down for not accomplishing as much as others.
          HE has strong recuperative powers, dislikes routine or manual work, and does not like to live alone.

          JOSEPH'S excellent head for figures brings HIM good problem solving abilities. Thus HE would do well as a FINANCIAL PLANNER or an EXECUTIVE. Of course being Pope supplantes the need as a FINANCIAL PLANNER and EXECUTIVE.
          HE takes pride in HIS major accomplishments and needs to be acknowledged for HIS successes, preferably through extra privileges and status, or media exposure, all of which HE will receive as Pope.
          JOSEPH gets a sense of belonging through groups and organizations.

          With a STRONG INNER VITALITY, EXTERNAL STIMULATION, ACTIVITY, and CHANGE are what keep JOSEPH alive and moving. For this reason, HE enjoys meeting others that are unlike HIMSELF, and HE is always looking for new information.
          With a need to go beyond the status quo JOSEPH'S views are generally contrary to those of HIS friends and coworkers.
          JOSEPH'S OBJECTIVITY allows HIM to let go easily and move on when when things don't work out. Though HE may have passionate feelings for another individual for many years, HE is able to find quick replacements. This is probably due to HIS equating sexual feelings with love.

          Extremely intuitive and spiritually inclined it is likely that JOSEPH RATZINGER will belong to an unusual religion.
          Easily obtaining knowledge from any source with a good investigative ability JOSEPH never takes anything at face value.
          HE has a strong moral code that brings a strong desire to teach or show others the way.

Since JOSEPH RATZINGER is a 7 born on the 16th day of the month:
          With the KARMIC 16 for HIS day of birth, this life for JOSEPH will not be dull, as MAJOR TURNING POINTS in HIS life will focus around surprising events that come HIS way.
          JOSEPH should not take undue risks since HE will be gaining experience through difficult life lessons.
          Feeling that HE is different than others, JOSEPH'S eccentric lifestyle will include high quality, yet unusual people as friends. These connections may come as a result of PAST LIFE KARMIC LINKS and will give JOSEPH a special feeling when and how HE meets these individuals.
          RATZINGER's analytic personality will do well in a technical or historical field that allows HIM to discover highly significant facts or bring forth what some would call a new invention.
          Antiques and stamp collections may strongly attract JOSEPH.
          A negative attitude on JOSEPH'S part may make work or marriage difficult for HIM. JOSEPH does not take advice well.

          JOSEPH is an unusual individual with special talents. HE is a profound, intuitive, and observant individual with spiritual and technical abilities.
          Others see JOSEPH RATZINGER as a loner, and being able to live life by HIS own rules means more to HIM than material success. Of course, as Pope, JOSEPH RATZINGER will, for the most part, be able to make his own rules.
         
          HE probably loves animals, a serene environment, and nature in general.
          JOSEPH may find alcoholism to be a problem.

          JOSEPH RATZINGER should be more aware that JANUARY, FEBRUARY, JULY, and AUGUST of every year are periods when MENTAL or PHYSICAL ILL HEALTH are likely to be a part of HIS life in the form of sickness or accidents. If HE allows it, these are likely to be brought on by HIS NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL ATTITUDES, DEPRESSION, TENSION, ANXIETY, or OVERWORK. In order to avoid/minimize difficulty in these periods, JOSEPH should practice serenity through PRAYER and/or MEDITATION, beginning about a month before the approach of these each of these months.

         
          This will be a period of RISE and FALL according to JOSEPH RATZINGER'S personal desire, causing HIS name to be known for good or evil depending on the choice of HIS action for this period, as each event is SELF-DETERMINED. The inherent power of this period for manifesting creative concepts must be USED WISELY, as the opposite power of DESTRUCTION is also inherent in this period.
          Extreme responses of LOVE/HATE--RESPECT/FEAR may confront JOSEPH at this time, with NO middle ground.
          Using the CREATIVE energy of this period wisely will help develop SELF-DISCIPLINE and INFINITE COMPASSION to avoid the destruction of this time. DISCIPLINE MUST PRECEDE DOMINION.
          In failing to realize HIS power potential at this time, JOSEPH may feel unfulfilled and frustrated. This may cause HIM to attempt to cover up this frustration with PROUD and ARROGANT bahavior.

          This will be a MOST FORTUNATE and FAVOURABLE period for JOSEPH RATZINGER, allowing HIM to experience VICTORY over all materialistic failure and disappointment.
          At this time JOSEPH is promised HAPPINESS and FULFILLMENT through SUCCESS in all ventures including HIS personal life.
          JOSEPH will be blessed with the power to create without the danger of becoming destructive.

          This year will be one of RESTROSPECTION, THOUGHTFUL DEDUCTIONS, and MENTAL SUPERIORITY OVER OTHERS.
          JOSEPH will PUT ALL MATERIAL THINGS ASIDE, not because HE has to, but because HE wishes to do so. Therefore, this will be a year of MENTAL activity, as HE RETREATS from the chaos of the world in order to better develop HIS MENTAL SUPERIORITY, bringing something worthwhile to the world through WRITTEN IDEAS which may actually change the world. JOSEPH may decide to use this period to protect and develop HIS PERSONAL TALENT(S), possibly along artistic or some other line. Fulfillment of HIS HAPPINESS and SUCCESS will depend more on this retreat and what HE brings out of it. Though this will more than likely be a LONELY period for JOSEPH, it will very likely be rewarding.
          This period will be NEITHER FORTUNATE NOR UNFORTUNATE, as it can be either, depending entirely upon JOSEPH'S DESIRE and ACTIONS at this time. This can be an all-powerful time for JOSEPH, but may be more indifferent, according to HIS will.

POPE BENEDICT'S RESPONSE TO HIS ENVIRONMENT,
PEOPLE, EVENTS, AND EXPERIENCES
          BIRTH THRU THIRTY-THREE YEARS

          These will be YEARS of LIGHT for JOSEPH RATZINGER at this time.
          This period, for HIM , is given the VIBRATION of a MASTER NUMBER which EMPHASIZES the METAPHYSICAL, not the MATERIAL. HE may experience this period as a LOWER VIBRATION.           IF JOSEPH IS INDEED EXPERIENCING THE VIBRATION OF THIS PERIOD AS A LOWER VIBRATION, THE FOLLOWING WILL BE TRUE:
**********************************
************************

          These will be YEARS OF COOPERATION for JOSEPH RATZINGER.
          The VIBRATION of this time will allow JOSEPH to ACCUMULATE KNOWLEDGE HE will NEED LATER in LIFE. JOSEPH should LEARN to TAKE CARE of DETAILS and DO THINGS WELL. SETBACKS will GIVE HIM MORE TIME to GROW.
          PEOPLE and REALTIONSHIPS are VERY IMPORTANT to JOSEPH.

          There will be EMPHASIS on the areas of ART, MUSIC, DRAMA, FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, PATIENCE, WORKING WITH OTHERS, DIPLOMACY, SERVICES, or HEALING. JOSEPH will CONSIDER the FEELINGS of OTHERS before HIS OWN NEEDS during this time.
          MONEY may not be ABUNDANT at this time.
          Since JOSEPH is more UNAMBITIOUS at this time in HIS life HE is LEARNING about DOING the TASK as ASSIGNED.

          The VIBRATION of this time CONDITIONS JOSEPH to be SENSITIVE and UNDERSTANDING, LEANING on others for SUPPORT; and may give HIM a SLOW START in LIFE.

          It is WISE for JOSEPH to PAY ATTENTION to HIS HEALTH during this time; HIS RECOVERY may be SLOW.
************************
**********************************
          IF JOSEPH IS ARE WORKING AT THE LEVEL OF THE HIGHER VIBRATION FOR THIS PERIOD, THE FOLLOWING WILL BE TRUE:

          This period may be EXTREMELY TESTING PHYSICALLY or MENTALLY, making JOSEPH VULNERABLE and EXCITABLE, or HE may become FAMOUS EARLY, possibly becoming a CHILD PRODIGY. This period will FOCUS on JOSEPH and HIS ACTIVITIES.

POPE BENEDICT'S INNER LIMITATIONS,
FEARS, OR HANDICAPS

          During this period JOSEPH will have an URGE for SELF-EXPRESSION, possibly in the form of PAINTING, DANCING, WRITING, PERFORMING, or SPEAKING. HE FEELS a NEED to EXPRESS SOMETHING ARTISTIC or UNUSUAL. This may also be a time when HE can LET LIFE FLOW; it may not always be NECESSARY to WORK in a ROUTINE WAY.

          JOSEPH will have to DISCIPLINE HIMSELF to ACCOMPLISH GOALS because the influence of this time has a TENDENCY to SCATTER ITS ENERGY.
          There will be much SOCIAL INTERACTION during this period.
          A PARTNERSHIP or RELATIONSHIP HE may be in, may involve a THIRD PERSON.
          JOSEPH must LEARN to COMMUNICATE CLEARLY during this period, since HIS IMAGINATION will be WORKING OVERTIME, and HE should MAKE an EFFORT to WRITE, even if it is only a PERSONAL JOURNAL NOT TO BE READ BY OTHERS.
          JOSEPH shold bring out HIS TALENTS and CULTIVATE FRIENDSHIPS; TAKE TRIPS.

          The VIBRATION of this time is IMPULSIVE, and JOSEPH should BE CAREFUL of QUICK COMMENTS, CRITICISMS, or GOSSIP that will HURT MORE DEEPLY than HE INTENDS.
          JOSEPH may be VERY SENSITIVE to CRITICISM at this time.
          HE should try to maintain a POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
          HE should NOT OVERESTIMATE HIS ABILITY.
          JOSEPH should SEEK OUT FACTS before STARTING on HIS GRANDIOSE PLANS.

POPE BENEDICT'S RESPONSE TO HIS ENVIRONMENT,
PEOPLE, EVENTS, AND EXPERIENCES
          THIRTY-FOUR THRU FORTY-TWO YEARS

          These will be YEARS of POWER for JOSEPH.
          The LESSONS of this period are MONEY, POWER, and AUTHORITY, and HOW TO HANDLE THEM CORRECTLY. JOSEPH will LEARN about SETTING GOALS and MAKING DECISIONS.
          HE will be EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, and probably SUPERVISE OTHERS.
          COST EFFECTIVENESS will be PARAMOUNT at this time.
          The OPPORTUNITY for SUCCESS will come to JOSEPH during this time CHALLENGING HIM to MAKE THE MOST OF IT. When HE COMBINES this SUCCESS with a SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS, HE will be UNBEATABLE.
          JOSEPH will tend to DRESS WELL and APPEAR FORMAL, BUSINESS-LIKE, and SELF-CONFIDENT.
          JOSEPH'S HOMELIFE may be SECOND to a CAREER in HIS PRIORITIES at this time.
          It may be HARD for JOSEPH to RELAX, and HIS TOLERANCE for CARELESSNESS and/or UNAMBITIOUS PEOPLE will be VERY LOW.

          JOSEPH will have a GOOD OPPORTUNITY to either BE an EXECUTIVE, or be MARRIED to ONE. HIS JUDGEMENT will be TESTED CONTINUALLY, and HE will tend to RELY on RATIONAL THINKING rather than FEELINGS.

POPE BENEDICT'S INNER LIMITATIONS,
FEARS, OR HANDICAPS

          During this period, JOSEPH will be LEARNING TO BE RESPONSIBLE and SERVE OTHERS: a time of GREAT CARING and NUTURING. HE CANNOT AVOID GIVING to OTHERS at this time. HE may have a FAMILY that REQUIRES MUCH from HIM.
          A PITFALL for JOSEPH during this period is the tendency to be TOO STUBBORN and SET IN HIS OPINIONS. HE will EXPERIENCE NOTHING but FRUSTRATION if HE INSISTS on RUNNING EVERYONE ELSE's LIFE. This may be a time of JOSEPH playing the DOMINEERING PARENT where HIS IDEA of "WHAT IS BEST" FOR OTHERS is based on HIS OWN NEED TO CONTROL.
          JOSEPH should be careful that HE doesn't FEEL LIKE A MARTYR.
          HE should STRIVE TO CREATE a WARM and BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT at HOME, CULTIVATING TRADITIONAL VALUES and CELEBRATING RITUALS. JOSEPH might use this ENERGY in COMMUNITY WORK, as a VOLUNTEER, BIG BROTHER or BIG SISTER, CARE FOR ELDERLY PARENTS.

          JOSEPH may TEACH or COUNSEL at this time in his life.

POPE BENEDICT'S RESPONSE TO HIS ENVIRONMENT,
PEOPLE, EVENTS, AND EXPERIENCES
          FORTY-THREE THRU FIFTY-ONE YEARS

          These will be YEARS OF STRENGTH for JOSEPH with KARMIC IMPLICATIONS.
          During this period, JOSEPH will be LEARNING about ASSERTIVENESS, PROBLEM SOLVING, INNOVATION, COURAGE, BEING OUTSTANDING, TAKING RISKS, CONSTRUCTING, DEVELOPING HIS INTELLECT, and WORKING ON HIS OWN. JOSEPH'S RESPONSIBILITY is to DEVELOP HIS INDIVIDUALITY or a PARTICULAR TALENT. HIS SUCCESS will ultimately come from ACCOMPLISHMENT in a NEW FIELD rather than one HE has EXPERIENCE in.
          During HIS TRANSITION to this PERIOD, JOSEPH may not have ANYONE TO LEAN ON, NO ONE HOLDING HIM BACK, or TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO.

          The VIBRATION of this PERIOD GIVES JOSEPH GREAT OPORTUNITY FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT. HE may CHANGE CAREERS COMPLETELY, possibly ESTABLISHING HIS OWN BUSINESS.           JOSEPH'S LESSONS for this PERIOD will be LEARNED WITH SOME DIFFICULTY.

POPE BENEDICT'S INNER LIMITATIONS,
FEARS, OR HANDICAPS

          During this period JOSEPH will have an URGE for SELF-EXPRESSION, possibly in the form of PAINTING, DANCING, WRITING, PERFORMING, or SPEAKING. HE FEELS a NEED to EXPRESS SOMETHING ARTISTIC or UNUSUAL. This may also be a time when JOSEPH can LET LIFE FLOW; it may not always be NECESSARY to WORK in a ROUTINE WAY.
          HE will have to DISCIPLINE HIMSELF to ACCOMPLISH GOALS because the influence of this time has a TENDENCY to SCATTER ITS ENERGY.
          There will be much SOCIAL INTERACTION during this period.
          A PARTNERSHIP or RELATIONSHIP JOSEPH may be in, is likely to involve a THIRD PERSON.

          JOSEPH should bring out HIS TALENTS and CULTIVATE FRIENDSHIPS; TAKE TRIPS.

          JOSEPH may HIMSELF be VERY SENSITIVE to CRITICISM at this time.

POPE BENEDICT'S RESPONSE TO HIS ENVIRONMENT,
PEOPLE, EVENTS, AND EXPERIENCES
          FIFTY-TWO YEARS
                    THRU THE END OF HIS YEARS

          These are the YEARS of PERSONAL FREEDOM and ADVENTURE for JOSEPH.
          This period in HIS life represents the PUBLIC and WORLDLY LIFE.
          HE will be OPEN to CHANGE, VARIETY, and STIMULATION. JOSEPH'S TASK at this time is to EXPERIENCE LIFE in a BROAD way, rather than SETTLING into a NARROW or ROUTINE PATH. An EARLY MARRIAGE will be ENDED by HIS CRAVING for INDEPENDENCE. This can apply to his separation from the TRUE CHURCH.
          SEXUAL ACTIVITY will be HEIGHTENED during this period with TRAVEL HIGH on HIS LIST of PRIORITIES.
          HIS SPONTANEITY and IMPULSIVENESS are HIGHLIGHTED during this time.
          JOSEPH should WORK in a BALANCED WAY for BEST RESULTS during this period.
          This will NOT be a DOMESTIC PERIOD for JOSEPH RATZINGER.           HE will probably be ACTIVE, HEALTHY, and BUSY, UNBURDENED by FINANCIAL or DOMESTIC WORRIES during this time.

          Appropriate VOCATIONS for JOSEPH RATZINGER during this period are in the fields of COMMUNICATION, NEWS, SALES, PROMOTION, ADVERTISING, PERFORMING, RADIO, TRAVEL, and ADVENTURE.

POPE BENEDICT'S INNER LIMITATIONS,
FEARS, OR HANDICAPS

          During this period JOSEPH will have an URGE for SELF-EXPRESSION, possibly in the form of PAINTING, DANCING, WRITING, PERFORMING, or SPEAKING. HE FEELS a NEED to EXPRESS SOMETHING ARTISTIC or UNUSUAL. This may also be a time when JOSEPH can LET LIFE FLOW; it may not always be NECESSARY to WORK in a ROUTINE WAY.
          HE will have to DISCIPLINE HIMSELF to ACCOMPLISH GOALS because the influence of this time has a TENDENCY to SCATTER ITS ENERGY.
          There will be much SOCIAL INTERACTION during this period.
          A PARTNERSHIP or RELATIONSHIP JOSEPH may be in, is likely to involve a THIRD PERSON.
          JOSEPH must LEARN to COMMUNICATE CLEARLY during this period, since HIS IMAGINATION will be WORKING OVERTIME, and HE should MAKE an EFFORT to WRITE, even if it is only a PERSONAL JOURNAL NOT TO BE READ BY OTHERS.
          JOSEPH should bring out HIS TALENTS and CULTIVATE FRIENDSHIPS; TAKE TRIPS.

          The VIBRATION of this time is IMPULSIVE, and JOSEPH should BE CAREFUL of QUICK COMMENTS, CRITICISMS, or GOSSIP that will HURT MORE DEEPLY than HE INTENDS.
          JOSEPH may HIMSELF be VERY SENSITIVE to CRITICISM at this time.
          JOSEPH should try to maintain a POSITIVE ATTITUDE though this period in HIS life.
          JOSEPH should NOT OVERESTIMATE HIS ABILITY at this time.
          HE should get FACTS before STARTING on HIS GRANDIOSE PLANS.
