You're not crazy. I promise.

Did you know that your ‘midlife crisis’ will show up on your natal chart? And rather than flailing through this major life transition you can use Archetypal Astrology to gain clarity on where you focus needs to be to move through this time with ease?

I was working on a chart for a client the other day. She was feeling really stuck in a lot of areas of her life. And it showed up so beautifully in her transits. What was really rewarding and created ease for her was that we could look to see how long these transits were going to last and what the core archetype, or lesson, was for each transit, so she really knew how to work with this time and where to focus her energy to make this really difficult time a bit easier.

And she isn’t alone. It’s something we all see in our midlife because we all get these specific transits that show up. Typically, it's referred to as a midlife crisis because everything feels like it's coming undone. You feel like the wheels are coming off and you don't know what's happening and you don't know what you're doing. You had a trajectory and now you're on it and you're saying, wait a second, this still doesn't work. You feel stuck and crazy.

I want you to know if you're feeling that way, you're not alone. This is a normal thing that shows up when I look at transits for people, especially those in their late 30s, early 40s. So, if you're in that age range, pay attention.

This is the part of your life that you can't exercise, journal or supplement your way out of this. You can't therapy your way out of this. You can't medicine journey or way out of this. All those things are super helpful tools. And there is just an element of stuckness. You may feel like all the tools you had just simply don't work anymore.

There is this very real, you have to sit and look at this uncomfortable stuff that's going on in your life right now. The only way out is through.

It’s what Stanislav Grof calls BPM II (Basic Perinatal Matrix II). It is the stage of labor when contractions have started but there is no way out. The birth canal hasn't opened yet, it's just contraction after contraction. You must endure the pressure, the confinement, the constriction. It feels never ending.

But in this discomfort, there is a gift. It is a fork in the road. Are you going to spend the next half of your life with your eyes closed? Ignoring the things that are uncomfortable? Or are you going to take this time and get brutally honest about whats working and what's not working?

Are you willing to sit with the unconscious or shadow side of yourself? That uncomfortable part of ourselves that, to be honest, we spend a lot of our 20s and 30s really glossing over and Instagramming our life and social media-ing our life away. And then it comes this time where we just can't look away anymore.

Do you even feel like you have the tools to do this in a healthy and supportive way?

I want you to know if you're in that space, if you're in that stuckness, you're not alone. There are tremendous gifts in this space if you know where to look. When you have the tools to really look at where the stuckness lies, which is what looking at transits on your natal chart can do. It gives you tools to come out the other side of this with an intense amount of freedom, with clarity,  confidence, and forward momentum.

It's like shooting a bow and arrow. You pull that arrow back and this time in your life is that arrow pulling back. And it's hard. It's hard to pull that arrow back. But when you know exactly what you're aiming for, and you know exactly what's in your way when you release that arrow, it's so free. And there's so much space and so much more support and relaxation.

So. if you're in that space of your life right now, late 30s, early 40s. You're OK, you're not alone and you're not crazy. Things do feel as stuck in as shitty as they do. But they won't always feel that way. And there's clarity to be had when we look at your natal aspects, along with your current transits, we can get really, really clear on what lessons are there for you to learn this time period so that you can enter the second half of your life like that arrow, clear and focused. Free, easily moving through space.
