Ages 38-44 in Astrology

We will be discussing the mid-life turning point at ages 38-44 in this post. We have discussed some issues coming into this age, but this period of life deserves more discussion.

This is the turning point where one moves from early adulthood into a more rounded, “developing” individual, one who is now reconciling with oneself and is fairly comfortable with who they are. This is a time when we are restructuring our association with self on a more profound level. A sense of individualization is occurring at a rapid pace due to the major influences taking place in our lives. We are experiencing transiting Saturn in trine to its natal position and Neptune in square to its natal position. These signify inner transformations and a realistic approach to who we actually are.

There may even be a feeling of urgency as our quest in life; our ego and the ongoing search for “Who am I?” are undergoing alterations in the consciousness of those that feel they need answers. There is no formal training when it comes to dealing with the midlife crisis. Few people can say they are prepared for this as no one knows exactly what to expect. Each individual goes through their own personal crisis followed by an awakening period. This is a time of great soul searching and a desire for inner change which often coincides with outer change, as one always affects the other.

The body is also undergoing physical changes during this time in our life, and those who have placed too much attention on physical appearance may become depressed with what they see in the mirror. Many will have to go deep within to find out what they actually have to offer as the appearance has held an elevated position in their life. The ego is actually in a somewhat delicate state as the inner self gains supremacy and control, at least for those who are searching for something more than a surface existence.

This is often considered a turning point as we truly begin to question who we are and we relentlessly want answers. Many turn to deeper subjects such as Astrology, spirituality and the mystical side of life in order to further their pursuit and in hopes of finding some answers to some truly profound questions. This is an awakening stage as many who have been wrapped up in the material world and have come up with a feeling of being empty want greater meaning in their lives.

Doors that have been locked are now beginning to open and a deep restlessness is awakening within. The search continues and those longing for answers begin to question their existence, opening the channel from within and making first contact with the inner self. The process has now begun as we raise our consciousness and continue on with our true mission.
