We are going to take a look at the life
turning point at ages 38-44 and how it is indicated in our chart.
This is the turning point where we move
from early adulthood to mid-life. This
is a period when most of us are evolving to the point that we can reconcile
with ourselves and are more comfortable with who we truly are. This is a time when we are restructuring our
association with ourselves on a more profound level. A sense of individualization is occurring (which
can be at a very rapid pace), due to the major influences taking place in our
lives.
During this age frame, we are experiencing
transiting Saturn in trine to its natal position and Neptune in square to its
natal position. These aspects signify
inner transformations and a realistic approach to who we are. There may even be a feeling of urgency with
our quest in life, with dealings with our ego and the ongoing search for “who
am I?” for those that feel they need answers.
There is no formal training when it comes
to what many term as the midlife crisis and no one can say they are prepared,
particularly because no one knows exactly what to expect. Each individual goes through their own
personal issues 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 their physical appearance may become depressed with what they see
in the mirror. Many will go deep within
to find out what they actually have to offer, as for some 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 more spiritual subjects
such as Astrology and the mystical side of life, in order to further their
pursuits as we hope 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 come up empty, strive for a greater
meaning in life.
Doors that have been boarded up previously 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 channels from within and
making 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 radical
solutions and this is when some people become bored with life and want
something that is exciting and exhilarating.
We can also become a bit eccentric.
We want something more that what the confines that normal life offers.
These new life expressions can often show
up on short notice. We can make untimely
changes that will affect us and those around us. These changes can often be quite disruptive
for family members that are used to life being steady and remaining solid and
secure. Some but certainly not everyone
may leave our marriage partners and start a new life. In many cases, the change is sudden and comes
without much warning. As this time approaches,
be prepared for change and transformation as this is a very intense
period. Be ready for disruption to the
norm and be prepared to welcome the new.
