Between the Ages of 38 & 44

We are going to take a look at what is called the beginning mid-life turning point at ages 38-44. This is a turning point when we grow from early adulthood personality into a more evolving personality--reconciling and developing into a personality with which we are more comfortable.  This is a time when we are restructuring ourselves on a more profound level.  A sense of individualization is starting to shine through 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 truly are. 

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

There are neither formal guidelines nor a book called “Mid-life Crises 101”.  No one can say they are prepared, particularly because no one knows exactly what to expect.  Each individual goes through their own personal challenges 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 seems to affect the other.

The body is also undergoing physical changes during this time in our lives, and those who have placed too much attention on physical appearance may become depressed with what they see in the mirror.  Many will now go deep within to find out what they actually have to offer, as the appearance has been held in an elevated position most of their lives.  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 relentlessly want answers.  Many turn to deeper subjects such as astrology and the mystical side of life, furthering their pursuit and hoping to find answers to some truly profound questions.  This is an awakening stage as many who have been wrapped up in the material world now somehow come up feeling empty and want greater meaning to 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.  They open the channels from within and make more intimate contact with the inner self.  The process has begun.  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 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 flavour bursting within our personality.  Many find this newly found personality which is developing within reaching out to find satisfaction beyond the normal material confines of life.  Their outlook becomes a bit erratic and different.

These life expressions are sprung on us and we make untimely changes that will affect those around us.  This is often quite disruptive for family members that are accustom to life being steady, solid and secure.  Some leave their marriage partners and start a new life.  In many cases, the change is sudden and comes without much warning. 

For those that have not yet experienced this life event, you should be ready for change and transformation as this is a very intense period.  Be ready for disruption in all that if normal.  You will welcome change and that which is new.

Fear Factor

As we venture deep within, the mind begins to shift from the reality of physical and material living into the fields of mystical and spiritual insight.  This is known as the awakening phase and creates a clearer connection with source.  It is our birth right to capture this connection and experience it to the fullest; however, there is one small detail that has to be recognized and controlled....and that would be the relentless struggle of the ego. 

The ego can be an unyielding force that has to be put into its appropriate place and used in a positive manner to gain insight and clarity.  The ego’s true purpose is to assist us, not interfere with our journey. 

As we move through our evolving story of spiritual awakening, there are times when fear stands in the way of progress.  Fear holds us back and presents us with obstacles and challenges that distort our true consciousness.  Some of us allow fear to grow as we open up to the forces inherent in our unfolding evolution.  Hollywood has planted the seeds of demons or outside influences that threaten to pierce our armour of light and love.  If allowed to flourish, fear can halt us in our tracks.

Some fear encounters of beings along their path which might threaten their otherwise pure journey.  It is essence to confront this fear head on.  Are you not on a spiritual journey?  Do you have faith?  Are you in the hands of God?  What are your motives for making this journey?  Do you question your own motives? 

If you conclude that your ongoing awakening is pure in spirit and you are working from beyond the ego’s interference, then you need to ask yourself if the powers that be, the God force around us, the pure essence we strive to return to, would permit any dark interference.   Would a spiritual being allow harm to take place?  Would pure essence not protect you from such forces, if they were to exist?

Because you are on this quest for love, enlightenment and joining in oneness with the source of this expression, you are protected.  Nothing can penetrate this barrier and infiltrate your beingness.  You are protected by the greatest source of all. 

The distorted ego understands that it is losing control and fears this.  Because of this instinctual reaction, it uses whatever means it has to get the control back.  Fear is the ultimate weapon.

The controlled ego is actually a wonderful companion.  It can guide you through self-doubt and strengthen your resolve in the face of any adversity once it regains its rightful place.

Ego’s controlling fear has been fed by Hollywood and its man-made fictional characters.  These concepts are foreign to our actual process of finding our alignment with the one within, with the rejoining once again with our source and the light. 

Let go of the fear that holds you back and know that you are protected by your source.  Negative elements in life are not real in the sense that they hold little relevance in our ongoing journey.  They have no stronghold on you and the only thing you need to fear is fear itself.  You are held within the grasp of holiness and love.  Peace is yours if you have conviction in that which you trust.

The Sun Sign vs the Rising Sign

The difference between the Sun sign and the Rising sign is that the rising sign defines how we express ourselves to the outside world and our reaction to life events as seen by others; whereas the sun sign defines our inner most self which those that do not know us would not see. 

An individual may have their Sun sign in Aquarius but may have an extreme influence from another sign.  For example this Sun in Aquarius individual may have a Taurus rising sign with several planets in the second house, which is ruled by Taurus.  This individual would express themselves with strong Taurus tendencies, although the Aquarius overtones would still be present but much more subdued.

An individual with a Sun sign in Aquarius and other links in the same sign or in the eleventh house would be considered somewhat of a bohemian, an eccentric and perhaps even odd in comparison to someone with a strong link to Taurus.  Whereas, the Taurus tendency individual would not be as freedom motivated and would prefer stability in life, such as having a secure foundation to live within.  This person would be more reliable, consistent and would be security oriented.  The Taurus tendency individual would seek a profession that would provide this and would support the need for financial security.

Someone with a strong Aquarius emphasis in their chart would be more inclined to reach out into uncomfortable areas where the need for evolution and knowledge would far outweigh financial security.  They would have their heads in the clouds and would be considered by those that are able to digest their complex nature as being ahead of their time.  Their ideas might seem far-fetched and future oriented.  They would be the bearers of knowledge that might be unattainable for many and difficult to digest.  They would be willing to share their ideologies with anyone willing to listen.

The strong Taurus individual would prefer to be more down to earth and would digest information on a different level and probably keep a lot of what they would have learned contained within.  This information would be only available to the selected few.  The Taurus individual would be quite comfortable within the confines of their home and would be slower at digesting information although they would probably hang on to this knowledge and understand it on a deeper level.

Aquarius individuals are group oriented and enjoy the company of likeminded individuals, while the Taurus individual may be more of a loner, although many Aquarius people are loners as well but in their own way.  The Taurus individual would be a little less comfortable sharing their ideas which would be based on a much more solid foundation and would have more merit to the average individual than the lofty ideals that the Aquarius individual might possess. 

Aquarius individuals know they are unique and do not mind being thought of in this manner.  They are intellectuals and freedom seekers and their wish is to dissect pertinent information and then spread this knowledge to the world around them.  Their astrological symbol of the Man pouring water out of a pitcher, spreading his wisdom to the masses clearly tells this story.  Aquarius wants to shake our foundations and make us look close at our objectives in life, ever reaching for higher ground and establishing ourselves as unique individuals.  The Aquarian wants humanity to climb the mountain of life, released from the burden of material and obstructive living.  They are known as the awakeners and strive to create a new found freedom which will release us from the bounds of habitual thoughts that stagnates growth.

This Aquarius Sun, Taurus Rising individual would have a push and pull conflict on occasion due to the varied qualities of the two signs.

Blockages

Do you find yourself struggling with life matters that just do not seem to want to go away?  Are you feeling ill or unhappy?  Do you tend to worry excessively?  These are all symptoms of mental or emotional blockages.  With these issues in life, we either fail to recognize them or we try to ignore them with the hope that they will go away.

Your external or material world is a mirror image of what is taking place internally.  When you find that life presents you with continual conditions that seem to hinder or challenge you, it is suggested that you have an honest look at what is happening internally.  Most likely you will have to make internal changes that will reverberate into your material world.  Immediately upon making internal changes, your material world will begin to change. 

It can be difficult to accept that the challenges we are facing actually originate from within.  With so many external events that occur out of our control, we fail to take responsibility for our lives. 

Change can be difficult but sometimes it is the only solution that can release us from life’s sometimes challenging conditions.  More often than not, the change required is simply a change of how we are looking at situations.

Remember, that all that we need in this life is at our disposal.  All ingredients needed to promote these changes that are necessary are available.  These changes are often a requirement that will help us move forward in our chosen direction.  These changes will assist us in overcoming or meeting any dilemma head on.  These challenges can be referred to as blockages to our growth if we do not meet them head on. 

With periodic reviews of our journey, we can recognize even the most minute hurdles along our journey.  View them objectively.  If they are left in place, what potential do they create in our future?  These so called blockages if left to grow can eventually manifest as illnesses and physical conditions such as headaches, muscle tightness and even minor or major mental confusion.

Choose whether to leave them in place or to tear them down.   You may decide to continue along the same path, after tearing down the blockage, or you may not appreciate the challenge and choose not to push ahead, venturing off onto a new path.

Sometimes the hurdles seem as though they are there for a reason and in most cases they are.  Acknowledge them and be open.  Many times dialogue or events will magically happen around us that will spark a solution for tearing down our hurdles. 

We have to ask ourselves if there is something that we can do within to facilitate the transformation that needs to come out into the open.  Attitude is often the greatest catalyst for change.  Changes to our attitude or belief structures will often produce a release of tension that has built up over time.  If the challenge seems to resonate from outside in your material world, it means that the issue has had time to build and is now present through manifestation.  We have to look at the issue, whatever it may be, and purposely and honestly look at what we can do to help alleviate the challenge.

Change is often difficult, yet challenges in life need to be addressed.  Our focus sometimes needs to shift from what we do not have to the recognition of what we actually do have.  We may also have to come to terms with conditions in our lives and then take the appropriate action to challenge the conditions in order to eventually remove them from our lives. 

We all deserve to be happy.  Our lives are meant to expand and teach us through its events.  We may have to come to terms with what life is trying to teach us and then do what must be done. 

Never give in to life’s conditions.  Stay strong and understand that we are resilient enough to challenge and conquer any circumstance.  We cannot be too hard on ourselves and accept that we will get over each hurdle if we choose to continue on this given path.  Life will provide us with what is required to get to the next level. 

We must have faith in our life’s course and know that we are where we need to be, always.

You are Ready

Moving forward along our path, we are enlightened along the way often encouraged to follow an untrodden course...at least this is how it feels.  The road looks new and exciting, and we feel as though few have walked this route before us.  This road is well traversed, however.  If you look carefully, you will notice that the path is well worn.

This route was mapped out long ago and we walk it with many others.  Picture this in your mind.  Imagine a flow of people venturing down this path of twists and turns.  Picture it as a path with rolling hills and valleys and bountiful beauty on all sides.  Although it feels new to you, you walk this road with many others, and many more have ventured down it before you.  You are not alone in your journey and you can feel this as you visualize the road.

This road is the path to enlightenment, awakenment...a turning point is life.  Do not fear venturing off and getting sidetracked from time to time as this is normal and the path is easily found again.  Understand that you are not here by chance and that the time is right.  You are ready for this journey or you would not be here.

We seek tranquility and a peace response to life.  The road in front of us leads us there.  This road is the path to unconditional love.   This path has been patiently waiting for us and the time has come that we take that step, that leap of faith and venture forward into personal unknown and uncharted territories.

We can take our time as we wander along the pathway.  We should be open to dialogue with ourselves and stay open to dialogue with others that we meet.  We all have much to learn.  Feel free to question, but be prepared for the honest, frank answers as the truth is not always pleasant.  The reflection we see around us is constantly changing, as it is a reflection of ourselves.  The changes that are taking place within are the changes that we see around us.  Our road is a mirror of where we are in our lives.  If we do not like what we see, we must have a look at what we might need to do with our lives to alter our external vision.  It is not others that create this external viewpoint.  It is generated from within.

There will be key points along the road where there are symbolic benches and individual seats where we can sit and take in the scenery.  These are resting points and these are there so that we can stop and smell the roses.  These are times of solitude as well as times to reflect on who we are and where we have come from, although the past no longer seems important.

We can venture forth with confidence knowing that we are on the path that has been waiting for us.  It is important to feel free to ask for advice from the people we meet and also the silent bystanders that are with us on our venture.  They are our guides and are readily available upon request to offer guidance along the way.  They are our guardian angels, our helpers and they can always be counted on when we need them. 

You are never alone, although you might feel as though you are.  Take that walk.  You are ready!

Astrology Charts and Young Children

We have been asked if it is appropriate to have their children’s natal chart prepared.   Is there an age limit and when is it best to have their transits and progressions done?  Would an Astrology chart be helpful for the parents in assisting their children with utilizing their strengths and weaknesses?

A parent could commission the preparation of their child’s birth chart at any point in their lives.  Some parents prefer to have their child’s chart prepared shortly after their child’s birth and others have it prepared when their children are a bit older. 

A Child Empowerment chart is essentially a birth or natal chart prepare for the parents.  The Child Empowerment chart takes a close look at the child’s temperament, their emotional needs and how their mind will respond to learning material and stimuli.  It speaks about their strengths as well as any challenges that they may have.  This chart offers the parents suggestions on how the child may gather information and the best or most appropriate way to handle their emotional displays and emotional interactions with others according to Astrological insights provided by the birth indicators.

As mentioned, these charts are written for an adult interpret and are not written for the child.  This chart will offer suggestions on how to utilize the potential found in the chart as well as suggestions on how to utilize the child’s primal characteristics based on astrological data reflected in the birth chart.

The chart would be comprehensive and in depth.  If there were deep psychological concerns that would surface within the chart indicators or health related issues, we would recommend seeking professional advice as we are neither a doctors nor a psychiatrist.  There would, however, be suggestions on how to deal with other youth related issues and also suggestions into ways of assisting these young individuals to enhance their skills and god-given talents.  It would read much like an adult chart, except it would be written for the parents concerning their child.

If the child is quite young, it is recommended that only a natal chart be commissioned as transits or progression are completed for individuals who have an understanding of their personal complexities and situations. 

Transits and Progressions are usually recommended for individuals completing high school and entering into college or university.  We would provide these individuals with opportunistic approaches to gaining insight into their ever expanding life circumstances.  We speak about the challenges that they may encounter but will focus on positive reinforcement providing some insight and assistance with the best ways to move forward in their lives.  We would utilize a philosophic approach with mystical inclinations and spiritual insight in these reports
