本書作者Erin Sullivan是一位專業的占星家,作家和自1960年代後教授占星史學的老師,在她的最新力作《The Astrology of Midlife and Aging》是第一本深入分析：

為何一個人的出生時間會影響／和決定個人往後生活的挑戰和機會.


The first in-depth analysis of how an individual's natal horoscope reveals the unique challenges and opportunities of midlife.

Between the ages of thirty-seven and forty-one, something mysterious occurs within the psyche. Jung called this phase our "unlived life", assuming rightly that midlife does not inaugurate a time of rapid decay, loss of libido, and inevitable death － but rather ushers in a stage in which we might review our lives contemplatively and move more consciously into the next phases of adult development.
In The Astrology of Midlife and Aging, acclaimed astrologer and author Erin Sullivan takes us through the metamorphosis and across the threshold of midlife into full maturation and elderhood. sullivan shows how this period is demarcated by the planet Uranus, which traverses halfway through its own cycle－caled half-Uranus in the natal horoscope－when midlife begins to dawn. At this time, we may observe our own lives in a manner symbolized by Uranus, a slow-moving planet awakening foresight, change, and discovery.

This crosscoads is filled with opportunity－in particular, the chance to revisit our past experiences, clarify them, and undergo the necessary pruning in preparation for the future. There exist no maps of this midlife terrain except the natal horoscope. In The Astrology of Midlife and Aging, Sullivan guides us through this sequence of life passages, where conscious maturation and creative aging become living options.
