So many things happen in your body, in your mind and even in the stars, by the 40s and 50s that is difficult to cope with everything by yourself and without an instruction manual.
The first thing I want to tell you is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE; that confusion and crisis are part of life. This is the way you grow and transform.
And that is beautiful.
As life is a journey…
Have you ever thought how would it be
to have a map?
Life is a very individual experience but there are some common patterns. For example, we all share some astrological cycles that happen around our 40s and 50s, like the Uranus opposition at the beginning of the 40s or the Chiron return between the age of 46 and 52. I can tell you from experience that understanding how the energy of the stars challenges us and, at the same time, supports our growth can make a huge difference.
Then there is the importance of mindset. This is huge. A lot of people become a victim of circumstances. I can feel you if you are there.
Especially as you grow older, it is easy to feel a victim of the changes happening in your body and mind. However that becomes a path of suffering and disempowerment.
There is another option: becoming the heroin of your own story. It requires more energy at the beginning, to counteract inertia, but it takes you through a more powerful path in which you are the creator of your own story. A path in which you use the challenges to grow and transform into a new version of yourself. A better version of yourself.
I started this blog talking about some important transits like Uranus opposition or Chiron return. They mark key points for your evolution. And they do it by bringing mess and chaos into your life so you can leave behind your old self and transform into a new self.
Menopause and perimenopause show up like chaos in your body-mind.
And, again, YOU choose wether you want to see the hormonal changes, the celestial transits, as something negative or as an exciting journey.
You have a choice.
The following exercise is inspired in one of my favourite quotes this year. I learnt if from my coach in a session.
