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.

Made it more difficult to navigate and read. It used to be 'more organized', more efficient to use.

is smashed tight against the right margin, creating a skinny column of words down the page.

But thanks for thinking of us, Graham.

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.

Voix, Would you mind looking up 65yo (66 e.o. May)?

Oh it shows does it? . I want a Scorpio Moon so I can hide!

Sure thing:

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.

But-- ooooohhhhh nooooooooooooo!!!!
I don't want to get crystalized!!!!
crumbling up

Aha! Unless, it's after I've said,
"Beam me up, Scotty!"

Whereupon, I turn into a sparkling-glistening crumb-figure
and you watch me vanish.. dust-out into the cosmic-realms.
whoooooshhhhh tinkle-tinkle-tink

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:

How can a great spiritual adventure be bad, what could possibly go wrong??
