Around Age 60 Is a Period When Turning Points of Two Cycles Overlap
When reading life stages by planetary cycles, around age 60 can be read as a period with a special overlap. The reason is that turning points of two cycles of different lengths arrive in a close period.
One is Saturn. Saturn returns to the position it was in when you were born about every 29 years. This is called a return. The first time is around age 29, and the second time arrives around ages 58 to 60. The other is Jupiter. Jupiter's return arrives about every 12 years, and the fifth time falls around age 60.
Around age 60 is when Saturn's second time and Jupiter's fifth time overlap in a close period. In this article, we read that overlap, together with system break points such as retirement age and re-employment, as a turning point for rebuilding working style itself. It is not a discussion of work turning points in general. It is a reading narrowed to the situation of, at this stage of life, how to form a second job.
What Is Asked at Saturn's Second Turning Point Is How to Pass On Experience
Saturn is a planet read in connection with position and responsibility. The first turning point around age 29 often overlapped with a period when how you carry work forward solidified and the range entrusted to you changed. In contrast, what becomes central at the second turning point around ages 58 to 60 is, rather than holding responsibility yourself, passing experience on to the next form.
People who have continued working for a long time have an accumulation of judgments that are hard to put into words. When thinking about a second job, there is a form where you bring that experience in as it is, and there is a form where you pass part of the experience to a younger generation and move yourself to a different role. Neither is correct as such. What is important is to think separately, at the turning point period, about what to pass on and what you will continue yourself.
If you meet the break point without separating them, a second job ends up being decided vaguely as an extension of your current job. If you think about them separately, for the parts you continue you can choose by your own will, and for the parts you pass on you can create a form of handover.
What Is Asked at Jupiter's Fifth Turning Point Is Reselecting How to Expand
Jupiter is a planet read in connection with expansion. A return about every 12 years can be read as a marker for reviewing the range you have expanded so far and choosing the next way to expand. At the fifth turning point around age 60, that reselection connects directly to the form of a second job.
How to expand in younger years centered on the direction of increasing assignments and business partners. However, how to expand in a second job is not necessarily increasing. In general, at this stage, you can also choose a way of expanding where you create a form that can be continued by narrowing the range. For example, instead of narrowing the types of work, you secure time to be involved in each one. Instead of narrowing the form of work, you concentrate on situations where your own experience is most alive. Such choices fit a reading of Jupiter's turning point.
Conversely, if you choose to expand your range into a new field as well, the key point is to confirm, at the turning point, whether that way of expanding is a size that can be continued in units of several years.
Three Checks When Deciding the Form of a Second Job
At a period when two turning points overlap, there are broadly three checks for deciding the form of a second job.
The first is the range of work you will continue. Among your work so far, you separate the parts you want to continue in a second job as well from the parts you will put a break point on. The second is the form of working style. Regarding frequency and time periods of work and the weight of responsibility, you put into words a form you can continue without strain. The third is the starting period and organization. Instead of deciding in a rush just before the break point, you use an order where you create the form in parallel with handover, starting before the turning point.
These three checks are not something to decide by star readings alone. The premise is to decide them together with real material, such as actual conditions, plans with family, and your employer's systems. Please use planetary turning points as markers for the timing to do that checking.
A Turning Point as a Period to Create Your Future Working Style
The turning point around age 60, including the milestone of turning 60, is not something to read only as a period when work ends. In Saturn's reading, how to pass on experience becomes central, and in Jupiter's reading, reselecting how to expand becomes central. In other words, this period can be read not as a period where you passively meet a break point, but as a period where you rebuild your working style on your own side.
Of course, not everyone has the same form of second job, and forms vary by person, including the choice not to change working style. As a general matter, what can be said is that at this period when turning points of two cycles overlap, thinking once, separately, about what to continue, what to pass on, and what to newly choose makes the following several years more settled.
A turning point is not a marker for rushing to a conclusion. Precisely because it is a break point in a long cycle, you take time to decide the form. Using it with that posture is how to make a reading of planetary turning points useful for organizing a second job.
