Center for Community Mental Health, NE Portland, OR, 8/92-10/94. – Lutheran Family Service, Beaverton, OR, 10/94-5/97.
1993 28 Saturn Return is the point associated with rules, structures, and order. It “defines”. Every 28 to 29 years it will return to the same degree it was in when you were born. When it does, it acts as a pressure test for every aspect of your life. It is also the period of time when you are to begin “defining” yourself in your own terms and not those of your youth and early life, which were dominated by all the rules of those around you, beginning with your parent or parents, and extending to school, peers, and employers.

2000 35 Age 35 (waxing Square): "Second puberty. A less reactive, more lucid version of the boundary-testing Saturn square at Age 7. Do these new goals and roles set during my Saturn Return allow me to express the full spectrum of who I am?" Jane: Mid-Columbia Children’s Council, Inc. Hood River, OR (8/00-11/04). Moved.
2001 36 Pluto Square Pluto – the Time of Upheaval (36-39) When Pluto transits square to you natal Pluto, it’s a period of general regeneration. It’s an uprooting of the past and serves to eliminate all those things that are disagreeable. You have to look within to see how much you have managed to change and overcome. If it has not been done, it is now that you will have to face immense changes indicated by the sign which transiting Pluto squares (this is your natal Pluto sign) and by the house through which it transits.
2002 37 Pluto is the point associated with transformation, elimination, and death/rebirth. It “upheaves”. Because it takes so long to cycle (roughly 245 years) the first square is the most significant in our lives because it represents a period of intense transformation as part of the “quickening” towards our authentic purpose, which is designed to emerge during the Uranus opposition around 42 to 44.
2003 38

Neptune Square Neptune – the Fog of Life (38 to 42) Neptune square Neptune transit is a generational mid-life crisis transit that happens to everyone about age 42. It lasts about 9 to 12 months depending on Neptune retrograde. You will start to question your goals and how much you have lived up to your ideals, dreams, and expectations. You may want to make some changes but take care not to set unrealistic goals.
Right on the heels of Pluto’s “upheaving”, and sometimes overlapping, depending on your chart and the movement of the points after your birth, Neptune will also square itself. Neptune is the point associated with surrender, spirituality, and mystery. Like Pluto, its long cycle makes the first square the most important for us. I describe it as the Fog of Life because it can be a time of confusion, unclear direction, and dissolving leading to a spiritual awareness of your life purpose.

2008 Uranus Opposes Uranus – the Wake-Up Call! (42-44) Uranus opposite Uranus transit, also called the Uranus opposition, is a major transition in your life that comes in your early forties. This mid-life crisis can feel like you have to catch up on things you forgot to do, or on goals, you have not achieved. A sense of urgency can lead to unexpected behavior and rapid changes in relationships or employment.

If you feel older than you are, or that your life has become boring, you may seek to spice up your life with some excitement or hang around younger people. For example, some men experiencing Uranus opposite Uranus transit suddenly leave their wives for younger women or buy red convertibles. Sometimes they clothe themselves in revealing spandex of bright colors and ride racing bicycles around town in packs, before congregating in highly visible cafes early in the morning.
As the final part of the Kundalini Rising work between 36 and 44 (Clow, Astrology and the Rising of Kundalini), the Uranus opposition is designed to “shock” us into awakening and embracing our authentic selves. This period of life can be, and is supposed to be, intensely disruptive, both internally and, if necessary, externally. While you may find yourself swimming in the Fog of Life with no shore in sight, the Uranus opposition is like a lightning strike that instantly burns away the fog so you can see clearly where you are and where you need to go!
Age 42: (Saturn Opposition Saturn). Midlife crisis. Individual reacts — maturely or immaturely — against the soul-inhibiting limitations which society has imposed upon his or her ego. Is my need to belong blinding me to my true values?

2009 43 Neptune Square Neptune - "Beautiful Dreamer Neptune square Neptune transit is a generational mid-life crisis transit that happens to everyone about age 42. It lasts about 9 to 12 months depending on Neptune retrograde. You will start to question your goals and how much you have lived up to your ideals, dreams, and expectations.

2015 49 "Chiron Return – Healing Your Life Wound (49-51) Chiron return is when we start tapping into Uranus’ insights. What society expects from us is no longer enough. We want to break free from our limitations and explore completely new horizons. Uranus is our divine side. The Chiron return is when we finally become aware that there is more to life."
"Some may argue that the Uranus opposition is the mid-life time and often one of crisis, in that way that only Uranus can deliver a shakeup! I tend to favor the idea that the Chiron Return is the ideal mid-life moment, suggesting that with a better diet, exercise, and medical breakthroughs we will see more and more people living closer to 100 (instead of a max of somewhere in the 70s; in America, the current average is 78). When Chiron returns you should be ready to heal your spiritual wound; we all get one at birth based on the position of Chiron in our chart."
2016 50 Age 50 (Waning Square): "Re-evaluation of individual priorities and life-directions producing further refinements to the soul’s individuation process.

The hallmark of the second Saturn Return is that if you deal maturely with the old pockets of unfinished business, you gain the gift that will last till the end — the gift of wisdom. You become an elder. As Elizabeth Spring put it,” Saturn rewards those that act and depresses those who procrastinate.”

"By the time we reach our second Saturn Return we should have started our authentic journey at around 30, experienced a chrysalis transformative period between 36 and 39, emerged confused in order to find faith in our path, been shocked out of confusion to fully awaken to the authentic self that should have begun developing at 30, healed our lifelong spiritual wound, all to become a wise man or woman ready to impart our knowledge and wisdom responsibly to the generations behind us. We are to assume more, not less responsibility, and act as guiding lights for improving civilization."

The 6 Great Transits of Your Lifetime - askAstrology Blog

Jungian Astrology

"Carl Jung was the person responsible for bringing astrology into psychoanalysis. This Swiss psychoanalyst, disciple of Freud, dealt with subjects that many considered to be closer to magic than science. Even so, his hypotheses are profound and interesting. They even managed to turn into a whole school of thought that’s still around today. For Jung, astrology is the summation of all ancient knowledge of psychology. Intuitively, the twelve signs of the zodiac worked as a compendium of psychic realities. They configure what Jung called “archetypes”, which are psychological patterns or models that inhabit the collective unconscious. Carl Jung was sure that within each human being exists an innate disposition to be what they really are. And we don’t acquire it. Rather, we are born with it."
