For an 80th birthday: the book for this chapter of life

Eight decades: a 80th birthday is a celebration of gratitude. What do you give someone who has everything and has already given much of it away? Something that exists only once: their very own book.

Which astrological cycles shape the time around the 80th birthday?

In the early 80s, around age 81, the third major Saturn square of your life becomes exact, and around age 84, Uranus completes its one and only full orbit: the Uranus return, an experience only those who live to a great age will know. Astrology reads this decade as the rounding of a great arc. The book calculates precisely and honestly which stations fall within the year in question, and if none do, it says so.

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 an 80th birthday?
