Midlife Is Not a Crisis

Based on the generational life cycles we all share at certain ages, from the Saturn Return at 29 and Midlife, which peaks at 42, all the way to the Uranus Return at 84, MIDLIFE IS NOT A CRISIS combines astrology, inspiration and wisdom about aging to empower people to live more fully in the second half of life. These cycles are the great crossroads of life and each cycle is a journey in itself. Strung together they offer a road map to life''s most challenging and rewarding passages. Acclaimed astrologer, Virginia Bell, shows us that in every decade there will be trials, lessons and losses - in this we have no choice. Our freedom lies in how we respond - consciously or unconsciously, awake or asleep. The planet that governs each cycle acts as a wise elder or guide and holds the key to navigating the cycle successfully. This book tells the story of these cycles and combines astrology with the wisdom of aging to empower people to live more fully in the second half of life. We are aging differently from the way we did in the past - we are not only living longer, we are staying healthy and vital longer as well. MIDLIFE IS NOT A CRISIS motivates people to grow and prosper at any age. Ultimately it is a practical guidebook for our later years that shows us what to expect as we age and helps us make the most of our journey to becoming whole.
