Midlife
and Aging Symposium |
ERIN'S LATEST BOOK IS THE
FIRST IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF HOW AN INDIVIDUAL’S NATAL HOROSCOPE
AND THE CYCLES OF PLANETARY DEVELOPMENT REVEAL THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES
AND THE OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED AT MIDLIFE.
Between the ages of thirty-seven and forty-one, something mysterious
occurs within the psyche. Jung called this shift the advent of our
“unlived life.” Midlife does not inaugurate a time of
rapid decay, loss of libido, and inevitable death, but rather ushers
in a rite-of-passage in which we might review our lives contemplatively
and move more consciously into the next phases of ongoing adult
development.
In The Astrology of Midlife and Aging, acclaimed psychological astrologer
and author Erin Sullivan takes us through the metamorphoses of midlife
and across the threshold into full maturation and elderhood. Sullivan
shows how the onset of midlife is demarcated by the planet Uranus,
which traverses halfway through its own cycle – called the
half-Uranus in the natal horoscope – ushering in the midlife
transition.
During this time, we may observe our own lives in a manner symbolized
by Uranus, a slow-moving planet, awakening conscious witnessing
of our patterns, a greater capacity for foresight, and creating
the need for change and bold discovery.
