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 Iāll feel the same way when Iām a few years older.
I look at my natal design and there is so much there I have already lived and learned so Iām ready for my Chiron. And then Iāll be ready for my Second Saturn. Thank goodness we have the cycles to help guide us āØ
Oh I love this, Jamie. Iāve been wondering about how the Chiron return feels later on in life. It seems to be exactly how my Uranus opposition feels now that Iām 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.
