Astrology and Myths of Midlife

“Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.”― Benjamin Disraeli

Carl Jung was very focused on the psychology of midlife, when a person begins to seek guidance from within more than the strivings of the ego. I have found the teachings of Jung and Jungians very insightful in my journey through midlife and beyond.

However, some of these teachings talk about a path that I don’t recognize in my own life. What if we have already been on a journey of liberation well before we reach midlife? What, then, are the opportunities that are present for us during this pivotal period in life?

I explore these questions in terms of midlife experiences, such as the Uranus opposition and the second Saturn return, as well as reflect on the question I often hear from astrology students such as what is “supposed” to happen during these times.

Jupiter-Mars square Saturn

The first of three Jupiter-Saturn squares aligns on August 19. Not only that, but inflaming the collective transformation is Mars in conjunction with Jupiter, squaring Saturn.

In this episode, we'll take a look at the expansion and optimism of Jupiter in communication Gemini as it runs into a square with the restriction and reality check of Saturn in subconscious Pisces.

I'll also discuss how this relates back to the Jupiter-Saturn Great Conjunction of December 2020 and that we're seeing the first glimmers of potential from that monumental seeding moment.

In celebration of my graduation from Pacifica's Archetypal Astrology Certification, I'm offering $20 off of my 1:1 zoom readings until August 19. Use code Archetype for your discount. Visit www.radiantastrology.com to book your session.

Libra Solar Eclipse with Mercury and Black Moon Lilith

In this episode, I reflect on the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2nd which offers a transformation in our relationships, contracts and agreements. Eclipses are powerful periods of changes of consciousness and bring a disruption to the natural order of things. In Libra, the focus is on how we relate to others, find balance, equality and common ground. This is a South Node eclipse which suggests purging, as well as experiences and relationships from the past that return for resolution. Mercury is in the mix which suggests significant information that comes to light in the days around the eclipse which can be pivotal in our decision making. We may at first struggle to be heard or understood, yet it may be important to keep the peace.

Black Moon Lilith is tightly conjoined to the solar eclipse, signifying the need to reject oppression, even while we attempt to find a mutually beneficial solution in our agreements.The ruler of the eclipse is Venus in Scorpio so there is an undercurrent of profound depth, rawness and burning desire.Mars trine Saturn fuels action of working toward progress and rebuilding structures that support our goals.
