For a 60th birthday: the book for this chapter of life

At 60, the decade begins when working life rounds off and the quiet question of one's own legacy starts to arise. The 60th birthday celebrates a full life and, at the same time, opens a new, freer chapter.

Which astrological cycles shape the time around the 60th birthday?

Around age 59, the second Saturn return becomes exact: Saturn completes its second full orbit since birth. It is classically seen as the station of mastery, a time to harvest what has grown since the first return around age 29 and to decide what to carry into the next chapter. Almost simultaneously, around age 60, the Jupiter cycle rounds off for the fifth time. The book calculates precisely which of these stations fall within the year being interpreted.

Nothing in the book is estimated: we calculate the exact dates of the cycles that fall within the interpreted solar year, and only those appear in the text. Added to this is the complete yearly horoscope of the solar return: themes, presence, emotional world, love, energy and the guiding thread of the new year of life, plus an outlook on the decade that is beginning.
