Midlife Reflection
What is it?
From an astrological viewpoint there are quite significant planetary cycles that occur in our forties to fifties that can create enormous stress and restlessness. However, if we view these through a broader perspective than pure 'crisis', we can develop a much greater understanding of ourselves and move to create a more balanced and authentic life. We sometimes need a shake up before we ask ourselves why we chose our particular life path and question its appropriateness for future years.
​
The major midlife transits include an Uranus opposition which can result in extreme restlessness and a sudden need for change, a Saturn opposition that can make us question the base foundations of our life, plus a Pluto square that can lead to a purging of all that is not working for us. The Chiron return occurs around 50-51 which can bring up past emotional wounds for acknowledgment and hopefully healing and holds enormous capacity for a spiritual awakening at this time. These astrological aspects trigger parts of our psyche that can lead us into our midlife turbulence but also possess the opportunity for us to create a life that truly reflects who we are and where we want to go.

What will it cover?
This consultation is directed to those topics the client wishes to discuss. Each of us move through the midlife years in our own particular way. Some individuals have career issues, many have relationships issues or some just feel lost and without purpose. Astrology can provide guidance on all of these.
For example, many of us go into our chosen career simply because it seemed sensible at the time, or someone suggested it for us, or often because it seemed a good way to earn parental acceptance, social status, or attractive financial rewards. Fast forward a decade or two and we can find our career offers us little meaning or purpose, and is lacking in personal satisfaction. We can find ourselves miserable, resentful, physically exhausted and just flat as our own individual spark starts petering out.
Or we may not necessarily be in the wrong career but are looking more for guidance around opportunities or problems that have presented themselves.
​
Relationships are commonly triggered throughout our midlife years. Relationships can be extremely challenging at times, regardless of who our partner is, as they trigger parts of us that need to form and grow.
​
How we have lived our lives to date often comes under scrutiny in our 40s and early 50s. A consultation may be desired simply because you feel you need to build more authenticity into the way you live your life.
