The Astrology of Menopause and Peri-menopause

by Victoria Bazeley @ 7:06 pm. Filed under astrology, menopause, midlife, peri-menopause, progressions, transits
Since I specialize primarily in working with women who are in midlife, I naturally talk to women who are dealing with various aspects of menopause and peri-menopause. I had never really looked into the astrology of menopause-related symptoms until recently (when I went through a bunch myself). Now that I have, I thought I'd share a few findings with those of you who are interested. First, a few caveats and disclaimers: This information comes from my own records and observations and it isn't in the least bit complete or definitive. Nor can it help you diagnose or treat symptoms; you'll need an M.D. or an alternative health practitioner for that. More…

by Victoria Bazeley @ 9:20 pm. Filed under astrology, divorce, horoscopes, midlife, Neptune, Pluto, relationships
Neptune opposition Pluto is a midlife transit that occurs when people are in their mid-50s, at least for this generation. Pluto's orbit is irregular so when Neptune will move into opposition with it varies from generation to generation. Right now, people born during the years 1951 to 1955 are affected. People born in 1956 through 1958 will be affected soon. So what does this transit bring? More…

Sex

Reap the Rewards

While women go through menopause, men experience their own midlife sexual changes. Because of this, they may want to spend more time hugging, kissing and cuddling. You and your partner may find yourselves focusing more on foreplay and experimenting with new methods of arousal. Though sex after menopause may present some new challenges, with open communication and a renewed sense of intimacy, it... View slideshow >>

Probe Your Prescriptions

Before you rush into taking HRT, consider what's in your medicine cabinet. While many of us are taking meds to help out our midlife health, those same drugs may be hurting our sex drive. Antidepressants and prescription painkillers are two of the worst offenders. Ask your physician if your meds could be causing your lowered libido, and explore your alternate drug options. ...

"Dear Abby: "I am a 50-year-old man who has been married for 22 years. My wife and I have two wonderful teenage children.

Hey Guys, Are We Depressed and Don't Know It?

By Jed Diamond, Ph.D.

My wife Carlin and I walked tentatively into the nicely restored old building to attend the "family weekend." Our son had been in treatment for a drug problem and we were there to learn and offer support. As part of the weekend experience, all the family members were given various questionnaires to fill out. One was a depression questionnaire. We dutifully completed it, and my wife Read more...

Q&A: Bored and Lonely in My Empty Nest

Posted August 27, 2007 3:32 PM

Dear Dr. Betty, I'm 45 and my kids are off to college. My husband is 47, works too much and has tons of hobbies. My hobbies were my kids and I feel a little lost and unfocused now that they're away. Other activities don't appeal to me, but I still have a lot to offer to my husband and society. How can I find something that I can get passionate about and get rid of these empty feelings?

Meeting Single Friends -- and Men

Posted August 27, 2007 3:32 PM

Dear Dr. Betty, I'm 54 and alone after 30 years of marriage. I'm trying to start a new life and meet new men but I don't have single friends to go to bars or restaurants with.
