  • Chapter Two: The Astrology of Reinventing Yourself
    A generation ago, most of us held a job for the better part of our lives, retired at age 59 or 65, received a gold watch and a pension and that was that. Now, we are living longer, and with the rise of the "cultural creative" class (an outgrowth of the "Human Potential" movement), a greater percentage of us are self employed and/or find ourselves with second and third careers well into our 80's.

    Where in the horoscope can we find those all important clues to vocation, multiple careers, and professional fulfillment? How can we use our horoscopes for direction, timing, and to jumpstart a new career?

    In this presentation, we will focus on the role of the outer planets (natally, by transit and progression), the midheaven and 10th house (vocation), the second house (what's of value to the individual), parental/societal influences, and other "turning point" indicators.
