I think its challenging synastry, challenging composite and a host of other things not covered in astrology.

But to use astrology, I'd say signs that don't like to be tied down like Gem, Aqua, Sag. Throw some Uranus in there for good measure as well.

Gemini Sun
Libra Moon
Gemini Mercury
Cancer Venus
Virgo Mars
Virgo Asc

And yes, I'm a guy!

People are going through their mid-life crises earlier than in past decades. This is partly due to the fact that some planets have been moving a bit faster than usual in recent years. Normally, things start to heat up around age 40-42, but recently I have seen clients as young as thirty-six start to feel the pressure of what we astrologers call the Uranus opposition.

When the planet Uranus in our birth chart opposes transiting Uranus, it’s as if something “strange” begins in our lives. It's a period when people feel as if they only have one more chance to make something out of their lives. The Uranus opposition/mid-life crisis usually lasts a little over a year and in some cases up to two. But the effects can be felt even longer; sometimes for several years. It marks a period of major transition in our lives. Most of us come to terms with realizations that aren't always pleasant.

It's an awkward cycle to be in because we aren't old, but we aren't getting any younger, either. People assess where they’re going and where they’ve been, and do so with an intensity like never before. Some people will feel as if they haven't lived up to their potential. Others may feel ambivalent about the future. Did they plan for old age? Will they be ready for retirement? Are they happy in their marriage? Should they get married?

We all have certain goals we set in our twenties that we expect to reach by our forties. Some of them are likely to be centered around a career, a beautiful home, or a happy marriage with children. The Uranus opposition is a time in which people are forced answer their own questions of self-worth. Many will feel as if time is running out and they have one last chance to make their dreams come true. Some will question the goals they set when they were younger and either change them, furiously pursue them, or just give up!

If you are one of the those folks who don't feel the usual effects of the mid-life crisis, then it is likely you've accomplished many goals you've set for yourself and at the same time fulfilled inner and spiritual needs. However, there are many other people that become overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy, or an urgency need to do something NOW to make things happen.

I went through my mid-life crisis last winter. My friends couldn't believe it when I told them that I felt like a total failure in my own life, especially with my career. I had gone through a period of feeling total disgust with what I perceived to be a lack of accomplishment. This period lasted from last February through June. Yet my agent and my friends couldn't believe I was feeling like this. Llewellyn has just released by first book; I was making regular appearances on national television; I was in the middle of a successful lecture tour across the country; and business was booming. Still, I felt like a complete failure. No one could tell me different. When the Uranus opposition was over, it was like a dark cloud had lifted. Luckily for me, I know astrology and could ride this cycle out.

Unfortunately, many people in similar situations act without thinking. They’ll end a long-term marriage or quit a job. Many long for a much more exciting, new lifestyle. Some want to dress differently, act younger, hang out with a younger set of friends. Some will have an affair and, yes, many do buy that infamous expensive red sports car—all hoping to hang onto the symbols of youth.

As I mentioned earlier, some people never make drastic changes, and many escape without feeling the negative effects of the Uranus opposition. If a person has taken advantage of opportunities and has not allowed life to become rigid, then the mid-life crisis may not be upsetting. It is possible for one to experience the true meaning of this astrological influence. The Uranus opposition can be a peak time in your life—a climax to all you have worked for. It can also indicate a major change in life direction that coincides with issues you will deal with later on. Many of you will one begin to plan for retirement, the empty nest, and so on.

The spiritual lesson of the Uranus opposition is that you will come to terms with your perception of life and its true meaning. The outside world is not as important as it was in the past; accomplishments will have to mean something to you on the inside. You will no longer live for approval and applause from the outside, world but rather seek spiritual fulfillment. If you don't work toward spiritual fulfillment in the years following the mid-life crisis, life may grow empty and meaningless. But if you choose to work from your spiritual side, you will find the mid-life crisis to be a true blessing.

You can find out the exact times that your mid life crisis begins, peaks, and ends in your natal chart or by contacting an astrologer. We all experience some sort of change in our lives—but what the change is is different for everyone based on his or her birth chart. While some deal with marriage issues, others may deal with career questions. Still others may face past-life issues or family situations. The Uranus opposition is a major astrological cycle in our lives. It can turn our lives upside down and inside out. But knowledge is power, and learning the when’s, where’s, and what’s of your Uranus opposition can help you be prepared to make better choices when the time comes in your life to let go of the past to make way for your future.

that's really interesting about the role Uranus opposition plays in mid-life crisis~

I wanna go check my friends and exbfs natal/transits ~ but I don't have time now - gotta get my kiddie from school.

I could see it playing a role in my Scorpion galpals recent "change" in life/relationship --- she turned 41, (she totally looks like she's only 25 though)!~ and she ended her 12 year relationship without any warning (to my husband's uncle no less).... ugh family feud was horrible after that mess~ let me say... she's why I'm not looking forward to divorcing this bunch....

She's a Scorpio, that much I know, I'd have to get her tob~ think she'd let me look... anyway, ~ it was -VERY- sudden that she decided to leave, and when she did decide - she was liberality gone the next day. ;; I've been -very- lonely without her /weep

also - my exbf (10 years my senior) - soon as he turned 29, he started to act even more erratic... buying new cars/trucks, having this urge to go out more... it was a slightly slower shift - and by the time he was 32 - I just found it all too unbearable to hang on anymore... no sane woman would have stayed with that neanderthal half as long as I did anyway....

either he experienced the crisis early (he was an Aquarius if that has anything to do with it, since I would guess that Uranus influence is stronger with him by nature).... and he was balding which seemed to bother him to no end.... plus, having a childlike (looking) gf on his arm was probably making him feel more out of touch/older than his years.... I know for a fact he struggled with his aging~ I didn't really think of attaching it to any astrological phenomena... but, now I'm going to have to look it over~ ^^;

wise ol' soul, that man~ ^^

outside of astrological influences --- I think boredom is the number one reason people drop what they have for a newer model~ haha "grass is greener on the other side"-deal

I'd be just as interested in why some people are so inclined to hold on when they truly should be getting out of whatever they're in.... @_@; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ foodforthought ---- I wonder which planetary influences would be in favour of one situation as opposed to the other.... if you see Uranus in favour of change --- would it be Neptune or Saturn in the other corner~??? -- x,x (I didn't sleep well last night- bare with me today)~ lol

29 is Saturn return. I'm on mine now.

Early twenties is Uranus square Uranus I think. Didn't like that transit at all. My Uranus receives no aspects.

Heavy influence of mutable signs. It goes like this: Cardinal signs are bossy. Fixed signs are stubborn. Mutable signs are fickle.

@ Sand --- I don't think JD meant he was okay with infidelity~ he was trying to say if you have the urge to be with other people then you obviously aren't in love with the one you are with, and it should be ended - no fooling around on one another, no games.... he's a very rational man...

He didn't want to f-k around Kate Moss or his (are they still married?) his wife/mother of his children..... so he ended it with Kate. He didn't have the same feeling for her... and he didn't want to string her along. He's a good guy imho.... I can't see him ever being the scoundrel type~ iunno why~


~~~~~ and yeah - his SAT return was probably messing with him.... plus his general strong Uranus/Aqua placements~ then the mid-life crisis just slipped into the mix~ really made for trying times.

--- we're both going through returns~ hah
I'm only a few months older than you.... =p

<3


@ Aquacheeka --- <3 right and right and right~ on all counts. lmao --- mutables have it hard when it comes to sticking with anything for a great length of time~ unless they're really grown individuals/aspects are otherwise in the favour of them being more consistent. right??

I'm a water piggy at least~

all earth otherwise - it's a b^tch to be honest~

no love for triple earth~

It'd be more "fair" if my ASC was @ 23 VIR so I could have the GET at least~ like a consolation prize.... "here you'll be needing this... you're gonna be bringing a lot of people down." hahaha

at least that's how I'd imagine it - if our charts were handed out like rewards or diplomas or such....

(Have very few squares/oppositions in my natal chart - I attract others with them -natal- like crazy though... :/ no idea why~)

---counting my blessings~

A Virgo double Taurus does sound pretty sweet~! last long??? (I mean the relationship~ lol so we don't go off topic too far, like always... *hinthintnudgenudgewinkwink* heh keepin' it pc.)

I just wonder how it is for other Earth signs coupled with Earth signs~ your probably the first I know of now that has that experience too~ shall we compare notes??? lol It's like "why I prefer to keep it within my element"-class, or something~ pfffft

the uranus opposition thing is what my ex was going through at the time we were going out and probably contributed to why it didn't work out. i also have venus closely conj lilith in 7th, it seems to bring out the worst in em :S

@ sand

It's not the Uranus opposition which people are/were feeling at 36. Over the past few years a heap of people have been having Pluto square Pluto around that age. And also Pluto conjunct Saturn [whilst it was going through Virgo and Libra]. The orbit of Uranus isn't as erratic as that of Pluto, who can spend only 13 years or so in Scorpio and up to 31 in others [Aries, Taurus,? I think].

Another mid-life transit is Neptune square Neptune.
