Formal introduction

[Euthenic1]

This reminds me of the first day of school - eons ago - when you had to stand in front of the class and introduce yourself to everyone, all the while hoping you wouldn't say or do something to embarrass yourself. Nevertheless, here goes: Hello out there. Like all of you, I'm here to learn more about astrology and to understand who I am (i.e., the good and the bad) and what my purpose is.

Shortly before I celebrated the big 4-0 last year, I've felt as if some sort of spiritual awakening or re-awakening was starting to take place in my life. Sometimes I feel "presences" at night, and my dreams have become deeper. One dream actually came true, almost right down to the last detail. Anyone else going through something like this?

From another double Libran, welcome to the forum. :) We're a nice bunch (well most of us are :P) and you're in good company.

You might want to look at your Uranus opposition!

I'd put this down to Neptune square Neptune:

About the time you're getting off the roller-coaster that is the Uranus opposition, Neptune asks you to strap on your safety belt again. Neptune square Neptune occurs at about age 42 and this is usually a pretty darn happy transit. I consider it a person's spiritual initiation. This is the time when a person usually subtly or not so subtly starts feeling the need to somehow someway tap into the universal source consciousness and start living as someone who contributes to the greater good. In some ways, this transit is about actualizing your purpose in life, or more accurately, actualizing the universal purpose of leaving the world a better place once you leave than it was when you came in. This transit marks the beginning of spiritual adulthood, but it often doesn't feel like a very 'adult' transit.

Thanks for the welcome and the article, 07.Re. Cool! We're cosmic cousins.:biggrin:

Will do, Caprising. Thanks. My Uranus doesn't seem to like Mars or my ascendant very much. I'm reading about the opposition to both now.
