The Astrology of Midlife
"What the actual F*ck??"
I found myself asking this over and over, pretty much for the past 10 years or so.
Astrology helped me to see, specifically, what the actual f*ck was going.
Knowing didn't necessarily make what was happening less intense.
But it helped me trust that there was a curriculum to my life, and that,
my goodness... I was learning it.

I see midlife as having two distinct transformative phases:
The Undoing
(approximately ages 36-46)
Where everything can feel like it's falling apart. You may feel like you don't know who you are anymore, or what you are for.
The Return to Self
(approximately ages 47-63)
You start reclaiming your power, agency, self-expression, desire, and sense of what is actually yours. You begin creating a life that feels more like your life.
While these transits will be acting on different parts of your individual chart, themes of power, agency and self-expression will be activated for everyone.
If you're already in it, you know how intense it can feel.
So what is actually happening during midlife?
In this 90-minute class, I'll walk you through the major astrological cycles that shape this passage of life — and the two distinct phases within it.
You'll get a bigger-picture view of why midlife can feel so disorienting, intense, liberating, grief-filled, expansive, and completely necessary.
And more importantly, you'll have a framework for understanding where you are in the process.
This isn't about predicting your future.
It's about understanding the terrain you're already in.
And if you want to go deeper...
If this class opens something up for you, you can keep going with Midlife Mystery: Welcome to Autumn — a four-part live series exploring the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual terrain of midlife.
The Astrology of Midlife class is also included with the series.
The astrology class is like a map.
The deeper work will be learning how to walk the land of this new territory.
I’m Ariele Myers, L.Ac., founder of Wisdom of the Womb.
For more than twenty years, I have worked with women around fertility, menstrual health, pregnancy, hormones, embodiment, and the wisdom of the body.
For much of my career, I taught women how to reconnect with Yin: mystery, receptivity, surrender, gestation, and the deep intelligence of the womb.
As I entered midlife myself, I began to feel another energy emerging.
More fire. More direction. More clarity about what I wanted and what I would no longer tolerate.
It felt like Yang energy, not as an aspect of my inner masculine, but as an essential part of my Feminine power.
Working with it felt a lot like taking my fuck back.
I believe midlife is when many women begin to take our fuck back.
Our voice. Our desire. Our authority. Deep discernment about where we spend our energy.
I am massively excited about that.
I'm 47 now, and feel I have been inside this portal for about 5 years. It continues to "do me." Holy moly. This time is not about arrival somewhere. It's about the process of unraveling, in the best way possible. And about what (and who) emerges from the unraveling.
