Neptune Opposition for those who make it to 82 this cycle can bring despondence, maybe not constant, but as they reflect, they process feelings of guilt and regret. As we age, we consider our life events, the ‘ shoulda, coulda, woulda’ syndrome. There is a choice to consider the life with disillusionment and bitterness or bless this life with compassion and understanding. We can choose to role-model for the younger generations and share our wisdom with kindness. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus the planet of love, it is the Christ-like higher spiritual love we hope to experience and obtain. Sometimes as we age, we feel less useful, but this wisdom from our elders is vitally important to their loved ones who listen. This falls into Erikson’s 8 th stage of Integrity vs Despair, we slow down, we reflect, we review. If we believe we have accomplished what we desired, we get a sense of peace and wholeness. If we determine we wasted our life, we experience regret over mistakes or things not done that can lead to despair. We all make mistakes and don’t get to all that we hoped to accomplish. The end result is do we have a sense of having lived a good life.

Chiron Return occurs around age 46 – 53 and is another sort of midlife crisis cycle. Chiron is referred to as the wounded healer. It is mastery over the wounds we carry, and through that process we help to heal others, because we become experts in that area. Once we go through this process, we can discover that choices we made through our wounded self isn’t working for us anymore, because ‘hopefully’ we’ve healed. These can be career choices or partnerships; it depends on where it is in your chart. You can discover your calling, because you let go of the fear and feelings of inadequacy that were holding you back. You can become more integrated and find your own power. An example of this is the caretaker who was always serving and caring for others at the expense of their own self-care. They finally say ‘enough’ and start saying no to others dumping on them. They can also get a burst of health consciousness and want to change bad habits.

The first one occurs around age 28-30, Saturn constructs and places limitations. It rewards us where we’ve been responsible, and it can provide hard lessons where we haven’t been. This is when we truly step into adulthood and take on more responsibility. It could be a marriage or a big career advancement. We ask ourselves Do I want to be married? Do I want kids? What are my career goals? These are important turning points. The second Saturn Return is age 54-60 is a check up on how you’re doing, you ask the same questions but in a more advanced, wise way. Am I happy in this marriage? Am I living authentically? Do I balance my needs with the care I provide others? Am I working for a paycheck or am I doing what brings my satisfaction? During this time some people divorce from unfulfilling relationships or leave careers to do something they’re passionate about. They get serious about the time they have left. The third Saturn Return is age 81-90 this is a time people let go of ego attachments. Saturn is the ruler of time, and we realize our time on earth is short. There is an assessment – How did I do? What is my legacy? What are my regrets and what did I get right to share with those close to me?

Nodal Return Will occur around ages 18, 37, 55 & 74 years old is when the North Node returns to the same place in your Natal chart. It will bring to your attention hidden traits that need to be integrated into the persona, as well as old worn-out attributes you need to release (South Node). Often these traits are out of your comfort zone but are significant to what you’re here to learn. The nodal axis is karmic so when it is the South Node Return there is an opportunity to release or absolve oneself of karmic baggage. When it is the North Node Return it brings situation that pull you into a new direction to incorporate new attributes that were previously foreign and uncomfortable to you. For example, someone with North Node in Gemini can be put into situation where they have to do more public speaking, which previously was an area they were uncomfortable.
