For a 70th birthday: the book for this chapter of life

A 70th birthday brings the family together: children, grandchildren, longtime friends. It is a celebration of a life full of stories, told by someone who lived them. A gift for this occasion should honor that journey without making anyone feel old.

Which astrological cycles shape the time around the 70th birthday?

Around age 71, the Jupiter cycle completes its sixth revolution: classically a milestone of expansion, one that reveals how much trust and perspective life has brought. The major Saturn stations of the 60s are behind you now, and the next one doesn't arrive until late in the decade. The book calculates exactly which stations fall within the year in question and names only those, with their dates.

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.

What is in the Milestone Birthday Book for a 70th birthday?

Four parts: your number, the major cycles around this birthday, the decade now beginning, and your place in life. Around age 70, Uranus forms a trine to its natal position, an aspect traditionally associated with serenity and new freedom. The book interprets the seventies as a decade of passing things on, and views your life stage as a calm reflection on what your birth chart promised and delivered. The number 70 appears prominently on the cover.

What do you give for a 70th birthday?

By 70, most people have received enough flowers, wine, and gift cards. A book written for this one person alone, with their number on the cover and their year inside, is a gift that gets noticed and read aloud. Many families give it together, with a dedication from everyone.
