The midlife crisis. How to avoid it or get out of it?

 A midlife crisis is a period in a person's life characterized by a reassessment of values, goals, and achievements, as well as a sense of dissatisfaction with current life, doubts about the correctness of the chosen path, and fear of aging. This is not a medical diagnosis, but rather a psychological condition that can manifest itself to varying degrees.

Usually, a midlife crisis occurs between the ages of 30 and 60. The exact age may vary depending on a person's individual characteristics, experience, lifestyle, environment, and cultural context. Some people begin to experience signs of crisis as early as the turn of 30, when they begin to take stock of their career and personal life, while others – only after 50.


How and why does it occur?

Age-related changes: physical condition changes with age, energy levels decrease.

Awareness of the finiteness of life: in middle age, people begin to realize that life is not endless, and there is less time to realize their goals. This can cause a feeling of anxiety and a desire to "have time" to do something important.

Overestimating achievements: In middle age, people often look back and evaluate their achievements. If they feel that they have not fulfilled their potential, have not achieved their goals, or have chosen the wrong path, this can cause feelings of dissatisfaction and disappointment.


Who is prone to experiencing a midlife crisis?

People who live "not their own lives": those who are engaged in an unloved business, are in unhappy relationships or do not realize their potential.


Why does the crisis most often occur on the eve or after 30 years?

It's all about Saturn!

Saturn is a planet of dharma (purpose), scale, and maximum achievement. The planet of the ultimate meaning of life. The Saturn region is something that a person must eventually come to by using their entire horoscope.

Saturn matures after the age of 30: someone is already in their 30s, someone at 35, and someone later — it all depends on the person.
There are also cases of earlier maturation, as in the modern world people develop faster due to the availability of opportunities and technologies.

When Saturn matures, he begins to ask you for the realization of your destiny, for following the meaning of life, and if you have nothing to please him with, he begins to put sticks in the wheels and create problems.
These can be difficulties related to different aspects: money, relationships, health, work. And, of course, an unsatisfied psychological state — from the most minor changes (lack of inspiration and energy) to severe disorders and even diseases.

Someone immediately sees that something has gone wrong and begins to change the situation, while someone can live with their problems for years and think that this is normal. And if you don't understand, for example, through crises in different areas of life, the crisis comes to your inner state. Well, or mental problems start right away. Here, again, it happens in different ways; however, the result is the same if nothing is done.


If you believe the Internet resources, then these are the main causes of the crisis.:

Job dissatisfaction: a person feels that they are not working in their place, does not get satisfaction from their work, and does not see any prospects for growth.

Relationship problems: conflicts, misunderstandings, and estrangement arise in a relationship with a partner. A person feels lonely and unnecessary.

Financial difficulties: a person experiences financial instability, cannot provide himself and/or his family with a decent standard of living.

Loss of: social connections, authority, resources, assets, etc.

Existential crisis: a person wonders about the meaning of life, about his role in the world, about what will remain after him.

And absolutely all these problems are related to your unrealization!


The horoscope is our potential, our strength, with which we came into the world and which we must show. If we don't do this, we get into trouble!

Of course, problems due to unrealization can arise at any age, but when the part of your psyche for which Saturn is responsible matures (we remind you that the planets are not in the sky, they are in your head), it becomes too hard to take out and it is too intolerable to live a different life, drowning in problems and complete dissatisfaction. (The Sade-Sati period has a similar effect, it is the transit of Saturn across the natal Moon (you can read more about it on our website).)


As you have already understood, the cure for both preventing such a crisis and getting out of it is one thing: following your own path! That is, the realization of Saturn's position and all the active positions of your horoscope.
Active positions show how you can reach your full potential, and Saturn, in turn, shows why and for what you are doing it.


Important!
If you have a serious case, it would also be great for you to consult a psychologist, and it is definitely worth reviewing your lifestyle.
But, of course, without self-realization, everything will not be useless, but definitely not 100% effective, and even more so in the long run.
