I resonate SO much with this article. I'm about to be 58 in two days, and I feel a huge difference between 50 and 58, so I can imagine what it feels like in our 60s.
Also, research has shown that the most productive decade of a woman's life is her 60s, followed by her 70s, followed by her 50s. And I don't believe most productive means the most amount of doing. I think it's much, much deeper than that. When I heard that (multiple times) I was probably 52, and at that time I thought, ok, if that's true then how can I live my 50s to prepare for my 60s. Additionally, when I hear many women near or around 50 talk about this time, including Chiron, which like you Jamie, I feel has been a huge integral and deeply felt transition, I feel the experience as still younger... not in a critical way, but more like, huh, I can tell you haven't quite experienced this yet.
So, I say this humbly because I have a real sense you might say the same about a woman at 58. I believe these years of a woman's life have been highly under-estimated.
Yes ! I think I’ll feel the same way when I’m a few years older.
I look at my natal design and there is so much there I have already lived and learned so I’m ready for my Chiron. And then I’ll be ready for my Second Saturn. Thank goodness we have the cycles to help guide us ✨
Oh I love this, Jamie. I’ve been wondering about how the Chiron return feels later on in life. It seems to be exactly how my Uranus opposition feels now that I’m a few years past my Chiron return. The Uranus opposition was definitely lessons learned and they feel like a part of my life that made me take note.
Same here, Erica. Thanks for your comment. You're adding a little more texture to how I feel about it. Chiron definitely is a HUGE part of me, and will always be, but I'm SO glad there's MORE! Uranus opposition is a faded memory, almost. And Chiron feels so integrated it's more like a jacket on my "natal" if I can put it that way :)

Yes, and they ring through SO loud and clear when we listen. It's really amazing.
