_ _For those that do not already own a copy of CYCLES OF BECOMING - the Planetary Pattern of Growth. by Alexander Ruperti http://mindfire.ca/Cycles%20of%20Becoming/Contents.html _ _ "This book correlates the patterns of our solar system with the patterns of our lives. Emphasizing both the development of individual potential and the most common crisis periods in life, this is the first book to deal with planetary 'transits' from a humanistic and cyclic point of view. It not only explains the deeper meaning of the various stages of life, but - in contrast to other books on life cycles - it also shows how to time these transition periods accurately through a knowledge of planetary motion. The author deals with both "Generic Cycles" and "Individual Cycles". Thus, not only students of astrology but also those with no special astrological knowledge can find valuable insights into their current phase of life and their pattern of destiny. The author sees astrology as a tool to be used in everyday life, one which can provide a unique perspective on the patterns of psychological development." ... http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1315770.Cycles_of_Becoming IP: Logged |

Boy, does this strike a chord: quote: Many psychological problems which arise during the second half of life derive from incompletions and omissions from the first half. The attempt to prolong youth is a result of not having actually experienced it in its proper time.

Mindfire has been revamping some of their published-works on the website. I noticed there have been similar "format changes" to the Rudhyar's Sabian Symbols. - http://www.mindfire.ca/An%20Astrological%20Mandala/An%20Astrological%20Mandal a%20-%20Contents.htm Made it more difficult to navigate and read. It used to be 'more organized', more efficient to use. The Cycles of Becoming manuscript... (that I see from my computer) is smashed tight against the right margin, creating a skinny column of words down the page. But thanks for thinking of us, Graham. IP: Logged |

This is exactly where I am at just now:
quote: Age 35 to 42: Individual or Personality Level - Culmination of physical and personal endowment. Further crystallization of personal attitude in terms of the activity and consciousness developed between ages 28 and 35. Need to decide clearly what one wants to do in life, perhaps leading to attempts at purifying the personality.

Oh it shows does it? . I want a Scorpio Moon so I can hide! Sure thing: quote: Age 63 to 70: Body or Organic Level - Conscious preparation for the “after-life,” or senility. Radiating wisdom or, negatively, sense of boredom, emptiness, futility. Bringing the life to some sort of seed-consummation. Sixty-three is a particularly crucial age. At this time Uranus comes to the waning square to its natal position, and Saturn is then nearing the waxing square in its third cycle.* The waxing square of Saturn around age 66-67 can mean a new, great adventure into spiritual realms. If, on the other hand, the person has nothing positive to offer society or they are not open to new realms of consciousness, then the process of body crystallization and lowering of vitality takes on added power. The latter alternative will occur particularly if the waning Uranus square at 63 meant the gradual severance of the creative self from the body and established routine existence. This severance may be due to a feeling of hopelessness at the way in which society and the power of tradition keep frustrating any creative effort of the Self. It may also be the end re- sult of the outer personality’s failure to meet the crisis of the forties and to deal with its results during the fifties in a constructive way.
*The 63rd year is also the age of consummation of the important 7-year and 9-year rhythms of the life-cycle: 7x9=63. The spiritual-individual rhythm (7) and the physical-collective rhythm (9) can be fully harmonized in the individual at this time; thereafter the life will be stirred to its depth by a new impulse. The number 9 - and therefore all 9-year periods - refers in humanistic astrology to the gradual working out of the spiritual and ancestral karma. Therefore, at age 63, the way in which the individual destiny and the collective destiny meet is a determining factor.
As ever, the positive role is played by the spirit within. When the everyday personal life can no longer contribute anything of value to the spirit, then the spirit gradually or suddenly withdraws. The body and the mind are then left to disintegrate, or, for awhile, to crystallize. One grows old out of a lack of interest in life - out of a sense of failure to gather any harvest of value from personal experience. This is a Uranian death: a letting go of some unbearable situation largely under a Neptunian sense of defeat. Saturnian death, on the other hand, is the slow result of a progressive crystallization of the bodily and the psychic structures which have become increasingly rigid and contain ever less spiritual content. This means death in automatism, meaninglessness or senility. The reason the time of death so often does not seem to register clearly in the birth-chart is that the actual time of disintegration of the body is not spiritually the most significant moment. Many people are inwardly “dead” whose bodies are still organically alive, and some are indeed “live” whose bodies no longer function. Here, says Rudhyar, we touch the mystery of what really constitutes a person’s true identity.

You crack me up Mirage  Well, being "crystallised" (kinda sounds like "vapourised" ) is said to only occur if you are not contributing to society, which I know without a doubt you are. Besides, I thought this was quite nice and fitting for your energy: quote: The waxing square of Saturn around age 66-67 can mean a new, great adventure into spiritual realms
How can a great spiritual adventure be bad, what could possibly go wrong??  ------------------ Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant - Robert Louis Stevenson IP: Logged |
