THE MIDLIFE CHANGES BETWEEN 38-42 REFLECTED IN ASTROLOGY

In this post we will be focusing on the mid-life turning point at ages 38-44 and how it is indicated in the Astrology chart. This period in life is a normal evolutionary step from early adulthood into a form of maturity.  This is a period when we can make peace with ourselves, and we should be fairly comfortable with the person we are by this time in life. 

 

This can be a time when we restructure our association with self on a much more profound level.  A sense of individuality should occur due to the major influences taking place in our lives.  During this age period, 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 are. 

 

There may even be a feeling of urgency with our quests in life.  Our ego and the ongoing search for “who am I?” are undergoing alterations in the consciousness of those individuals that feel they need answers.

 

There is no formal training when it comes to what many people term “the midlife crisis”.  No one can say they are prepared, particularly because no one knows exactly what to expect.  Each individual goes through their own personal “crisis” (if that is how you want to look at it) and then an awakening takes place.  This is a time of great soul searching and a desire for inner change which often coincides with outer change, as one affects the other.

 

The body is also undergoing physical changes during this time in our lives, and those who have placed too much attention on their physical appearance may become depressed with the changes they are seeing in the mirror.  Many individuals will go deep within to rediscover what they actually have to offer, especially if the physical appearance has been held in an elevated position most of 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.

 

This is often considered a turning point as we truly begin to question who we are and we relentlessly want answers. 

 

Many individuals traditionally turn to deeper subjects such as spirituality, Astrology and the mystical side of life, furthering their pursuit, and hoping to find 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 came up empty, now wanting greater meaning in their lives.

 

Doors that have been closed 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 and open the channel from within to make a more intimate contact with the inner self.  The process has begun, as we raise our consciousness and continue on with our mission.

 

At age 42, we are also experiencing the Uranus opposition with itself.  This intensifies the search and often we reach for something new to bring to the forefront of life.  Some reach out for radical solutions and this is when people become bored with life and want something that is exciting and exhilarating.  There is a bit of an eccentric influence arising from the personality.  Many find this new individual reaching to find some satisfaction beyond the normal material influences in life.  Shifts that may be a bit erratic and different and a need to break free of any restrictions is often an important part of the process.

 

These life expressions often come to light on short notice and we make untimely changes that will affect us personally and those around us.  This is often quite disruptive for family members that are accustom to life being steady, solid and secure. 

 

Some individuals may leave their marriage partners and start a new life. In many cases the change is sudden and comes without much warning. We can never prepare ourselves for what might take place but we can know that change is inevitable.  A transformation will take place and this period can certainly be intense.
