I decided to jack in the bread-and-butter job at my Saturn return, which is the best thing I've ever done. Who knows - maybe at the Uranus waning square I'll finally realise what it is I want to do when I grow up!Moraghnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-55564716411429436322013-05-13T12:07:10.027+01:002013-05-13T12:07:10.027+01:00This turning around of Saturn and Uranus seems qui...This turning around of Saturn and Uranus seems quite clear to me (eventhough I am 38 ;-)<br />It looks like: when you're young, you have ideals (Uranus) but you have to know what you need or have to fulfil them. When you're in your sixties, (it's "the other way round" like you say), you know what you've got (Saturn), but the challenge is: what can you do with what's left! Could be little, could be more, but the challenge is revolutional (Uranus): what can you DO with it? <br />In the first round, your dreams have no boundaries, you find them out by Saturn. The second round, the boundaries are kind of set, but how far can you go within these boundaries? <br />Maybe that's why the older people like to travel so much, they are not impressed anymore by these boundaries (Uranus) :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-73054942083400785672013-05-12T13:20:18.693+01:002013-05-12T13:20:18.693+01:00Interesting reflection and take.

If we could only remember that life is an energy that we can turn into a force and give it direction...<br />Great ending: "Because it’s also about recognising old people as people with lives that develop, and that are just as important to them as younger people’s lives are to them, and the more society can do that, the more it will recognise events such as the ‘Late-life Crisis.’"<br />That is spot on and would make social services (for example) and society as a whole to have a different view on what we are and what we need and can be.<br />Cheers,<br />NicMagic Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058470485175140238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-55784503989603539132013-05-12T02:28:17.044+01:002013-05-12T02:28:17.044+01:00you have a good feeling for what you haven't e...you have a good feeling for what you haven't experienced yet.<br /><br />am now going through the U/U square. One of the issues I'm dealing with is the dichotomy of working/not working as if those are the only 2 things one can do. I am feeling that there is another dimension to be accessed, a dimension of beingness, different from the achievement orientation of youth. It's subtle (and hard for me to describe) but I sense it and am trying to find the key to being there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-37050437028485967302013-05-12T01:51:54.708+01:002013-05-12T01:51:54.708+01:00As a woman who just turned 70 last month (early Ta... As a woman who just turned 70 last month (early Taurus), I still can't wrap my mind around being "old". I recall when we didn't trust anyone over 30! The worst thing about being "old" is the societal mind-set of it<br />. My body has aged, but my mind has refined-- I realize things that I never did before. Uranus is great at bringing bolts of insight. Saturn brings wisdom. It isn't all that bad!
