In this article I will tell you about the relationship between the 35 years old, the Natural Phases of Life and Maturity of Planets. That is, how the planets mark the standard of human life and how humans reach their maturity in different areas of life. But first I want to tell you how I got the idea to talk to you about this.

While reading my dear friend Titian's new book, entitled "Formula Infoproduct. How to turn your talents and skills into a high-yielding online business", a very fluent and fascinating text on online marketing, it occurred to me to write this article.

As I write this, we are in the midst of retrogradation of Saturn and naturally the pivotal Saturn themes become prominent. This includes the theme of Work. Saturn is the planet that drives people to work. But working does NOT mean earning. Work is karma, while earning is ANOTHER karma. You can read a full article on this topic: "The more I work, the more I earn." Are you sure?

Does your work ennoble you?

Work ennobles man, sometimes it mobilizes him (these days it puts him on mobility, layoffs or fires him outright), and sometimes it enslaves him.

What makes your work worthy of making you noble? The gain? The motivation with which you do it? The help your work gives to others? The fact that your work is socially useful? The satisfaction you derive from it? Or, the benefits your work gives you and your family?

Probably the most important but also the most sensitive question is: are you satisfied with your work?

Does everything change at age 35?

On page 19 of his book, Titian says:

When you are young you can also settle for anything to earn, as long as you earn....

"I do what I have to do, because it's convenient for me at this age to have a little more money in my pocket, I'm still full of so many desires, visions of the future... I don't care what I do, I just need to earn some money."

This is fine when you are 20/25 years old. Instead from the 35 years and older, in general, we are no longer content to do anything to make money. Above all, it becomes mortifying to go to a job every day that you don't like, can't stand, and can't wait for it to end.

Doing something every day that you do not like and that does not represent you, that you do not recognize yourself in and that you are not proud to talk about with others, weakens your vital energy. From the age of 35 onward, one is no longer just looking for gain but, rather, for meaning in what one does.

Natural Phases of Life

We can take the life of a human being and divide it into periods of development. Life has specific pattern (patterns) that scan The 7 stages that generally every being encounters in its life. The natural periods of life follow this succession: Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Saturn.

Moon holds the period of life that goes from 0 to one year of age. This is the time when we focus on nurturing, feel at one with the mother and begin to develop the mind (manas) refining sensory perception.
Mars, 1 to 6 years old, indicates the development of one's individual ego, the manifestation of one's individuality in relation to parental figures.
Mercury, 6 to 12 years old, indicates the period of learning and education. One begins to learn how to live in the world.
Venus, 12 to 32 years old, indicates the period when sexual maturity is reached and when people seek to develop relationships with other human beings.
Jupiter, 32 to 50 years old, indicates openness to develop higher plans for one's life, maturation in terms of ethics and morals, the pursuit of one's own dharma and one's social role and, eventually, a spiritual path.
Sunshine, 50 to 75 years old, indicates the high point of one's material attainment and the need to open the door to spirituality.
Saturn, 75 years and older, indicates old age that prompts retirement from all activities.

These life stages are a generic patterning that, however, each of us can feel as trends. For the individual, however, specific periods can be seen from the daśā, that is, from the dating system that is based on its own Christmas Card.

Is the whole world a stage?

Also William Shakespeare saw life in stages. In his play "As You Like It," 1599-1600 (Act II, Scene VII), he says through Jaques: [In square brackets I have added the planetary correspondence I derived according to Shakespeare's description]

All the world is a stage, and all men and women are actors. With our exits and entrances. A man, in the course of life, plays many parts: seven ages divided into seven acts.

First the child, with its verses, drooling in the arms of the nurse. [Moon]

Then the whiny schoolboy, with his books, and his face numb from the morning, trudging listlessly, like a snail, to school. [Mercury]

Then the lover, sighing like a furnace the sad ballad composed for the eyebrow of the beloved woman. [Venus]

Next comes the soldier, with his bizarre expletives, moustached like a leopard, jealous of his honor, impulsive and ready to quarrel; seeking an ephemeral reputation perfin in the mouth of a cannon. [Mars]

Then the judge, with a nice round belly full of fat capons, with a stern eye, with a well-trimmed beard, spouting wise maxims, platitudes he deems modern, and he too plays his part. [Jupiter]

Sixth age turns you into a weak and sleepy Pantalone, with his spectacles on his nose and a bag at his hip, breeches from when he was young, well-preserved but now too wide for his dried-up legs; the handsome masculine timbre of his voice regressed to a boyish voice: falsettos and high-pitched sonnets come out of his mouth. [Sun in debilitation?]

The last scene, then, at the end of this strange and very long story, is a second childhood: complete oblivion, without teeth, without eyes, without taste ... without anything. [Saturn]

The two schemes compared

The pattern that Shakespeare presents is something akin to Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Sun and Saturn. Similar to that presented by Vedic astrology: Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Saturn. The correspondence between the two patterns is interesting, as is the differences in relation to the lifestyle of the time, the feeling of the speaking character, and the character of the work. But that is another matter.

But why the 35?

According to Titian's book, the person is inclined to work only to earn from the 20/25 years old. We are in the period of Venus in which desires, comforts, sexuality and relationships are the pivot of the person's interests. Titian continues that from the 35 years and older one is no longer content to work just to earn money; work must have purpose and meaning. From 32 begins the Jupiter period that urges us to look higher, asks us to discover our dharma, our role in the world.

Titian mentions the 35 years. This is also accurate from an astrological perspective. We have already said that from age 32 to 50 we are in a Jupiter phase. And that may be enough.

Maturity of Planets

But we can go deeper if we study the Maturity of Planets. That is, as time progresses, each of us naturally reaches a Greater understanding of life and the world around us.

An older person is more mature, in this sense, because in his lifetime more Planets have reached their maturity.

I Graha (i.e., the Planets + Sun and Moon) mature at different times in your life:

Jupiter ripe at 16, in which one comes out of being a child and matures an early sense of responsibility.
The Sun matures at 21, when - past adolescence - one develops one's own sense of identity and character becomes more defined.
Mature Moon at 24, when the mind and emotions find full development.
Venus mature at 25, when developing a greater understanding of relationships and love.
Mars ripe at 28, when you develop greater control over your passions and instincts.
Mercury matures at 32, when economic independence is achieved or the need is felt.
Saturn matures at 35, when you develop a perception of how time punctuates everything and reach a working maturity.
Rāhu ripe at 42 e Ketu at 48. Moon Nodes also have their own maturation period, but I will not cover that topic here.

I 35 years old are therefore the time when you stop and think about whether you are satisfied with your work. You ask yourself why you are working, what is the meaning, what is the motivation, what is the direction.

If you are over 35, you probably understand what I am saying. And if you need help finding your direction you can find out more about your Paper.
