Yes, leslee, it’s possible to skate through menopause reasonably sane and you are lucky to have women friends to demonstrate this. There is far more info easily available now than even 10 yrs ago, thanks in part to the type of work you & others are doing.

my guess is you will do an excellent job of it too

I might do a better job if it were about managing symptoms, natural health, etc. Instead it’s basically a compendium of *everything* that goes down the tubes once estrogen starts quitting. It ain’t pretty. Sigh. The training module, I mean, not the reality that I’ve seen among my friends, who seem to be handling things pretty well. Which I have to keep reminding myself of. :-)

Thanks for your support of my theory, Jessica! I believe this is a great example of how Astrology can help us get some perspective on an emotionally charged situation. :::sigh:::

Speaking of ironic, I am now writing a training module about menopause. I’m not making this up.

leslee, that’s amazing! And my guess is you will do an excellent job of it too.

All I can say here is what I said before, Neith – I’m totally behind your reversed nodes theory. My mother and I are an absolute case in point.

Hey leslee,

Ironic this . . . Fortunately, we had several good final years (Alzheimer’s, oddly, stopped her criticizing completely and she was nothing but sweet to me), which helped a lot.

Irony was a large component in my relationship with my mother too. The Chiron Return is subtle but often a very significant rite of passage, especially approached with awareness [of course that can be said about life in general].

Hey inishglora,

Well, not necessarily beautiful, but reveries indeed, and the previous comments seem to bear this out.

You are right on the mark with this comment . . . this discussion has brought up lots of memories for me too.

If anyone is interested, here’s the link to the post I wrote on inishglora’s relationship with his father. Another example of Family Synastry – Father & Son

Thanks, Pat. Natally, I have Chiron (on my Descendant) exactly opposite my Moon at 18 Leo. I’m having a Chiron return, so I’m sure there’s a lot of healing of mother stuff going on. Fortunately, we had several good final years (Alzheimer’s, oddly, stopped her criticizing completely and she was nothing but sweet to me), which helped a lot. The nodes of course are also about to hit those points, too.

Neith and Pat, you may remember a discussion last year or so about my dad and I having opposite nodes and our tendency to be ships passing in the night and having completely different interests (other than reading). So I can see myself in this thread, esp. with Father’s Day coming up.

Interestingly, Urania’s 9th House (http://www.uranias9thhouse.com/blog/) has the transits of June 7: “June 07: Retrograde Mercury conjuncts Venus in Gemini at the 18th degree. Remembrance of those we have loved brings beautiful reveries.” Well, not necessarily beautiful, but reveries indeed, and the previous comments seem to bear this out.
