URANUS IN LIBRA ENTERING MIDLIFE (born 1968-1975)

If you are part of the Uranus in Libra generation, born between October of 1968 and September 1975, less a few weeks in May and June of 1969, you are now entering into midlife and the Uranus opposition to its Natal position. As each sign is a continuation and development of the previous sign and lays the groundwork into the next, Uranus in Libra is all about finding balance. It is the finding of balance in life between the individualization of each person and the molding of our consciousness into the collective. Uranus in Libra wants to find balance and harmony in life through relationships and entering into a collective agreement between couples. One aids the other and finds the ultimate connection in a union through a sharing of higher principles and knowledge gained through life’s experience.

The Uranus opposition to its Natal position is considered one of the most powerful and influential transits of your life. It usually begins around the age 40 and is complete by the time you are 44. This time span often includes many transformations on an inner level as opposed to the outer changes that you would have made in order to provide yourself with the required sustenance into your retirement years.

You may also confront aspects of life that have reached a culmination point, such as your relationships and occupation that you have pursued thus far. If you find any of these areas of life obstructive and/or constrictive (this would include all relationships and any field of work that has fulfilled your life until this point), you may now be faced with making substantial alterations to these areas. If you are not happy with where you are in your life, you will be forced into having a closer look in order to see what you think can be done to satisfy the need for change. You will, however, need to go inside to see what you can do personally to change things. Never put the onus on someone else. It is not others that need to change. The change must come from you or your attitude towards the situation.

Many feel that this point in life revolves around a state of emergency and will urgently seek resolution to their predicament. It feels as though there is not much time left and things need to be attended to now!

If you, on the other hand, have been living life according to longstanding and ridged ideologies and have been planning your life in one pursuit rarely swaying from the intended path, this transit will not be that challenging. You may now discover the fruition of all your hard work and planning. You confront the idea of old age and retirement which now seems to just lie ahead.

You may now, however, turn your attention inward as all the preparation has been started and out the foundation seems solid enough that you can now turn to internal focusing. You may have spent much of your life preparing for retirement and planned vigorously barely noticing the concept that there is a whole other inside world that also needs attending too. You may discover hidden parts of the self that you were never aware of before, because you never took the time to study who you were. You may now decide after careful scrutinizing that you need to make some adjustments and create a new sense of purpose for yourself.

Many would compare this time in their lives to an awakening stage. You view yourself more clearly and perhaps for the first time. You may begin coming to terms with what needs to be done in order to adjust the conditions of self. The upcoming time period will be separate from the outside world of obligation to success. You are now confronted with an obligation to mold yourself into the individual you want to be. Accomplishment in the external world is now miniscule to what you see within yourself. During this phase, the strength gained in a structured and material way rarely changes, but your concept of what that world means to you under goes a great transformation.

This period initiates the start of the new individual strengthened by internal confrontation and staying committed to the required changes that will propel one into the future.
