Abby, welcome to the podcast. What would you like a reading about?

Great. Okay. So I'm going to read to you the question that I sent in. Hi, Jessica. I'm smack in the middle of some midlife transits after having Pluto square my son fairly recently. I'm feeling the overwhelm and confusion of whatever it is that is happening in my chart, which is also compounded by perimenopause.

Would it be possible to do a check-in with the current leg of this journey and get some help with dealing with the exhaustion of it all?

Thank you so much.

Okay. So I have so many questions. Okay. The first is you mentioned paramedipal. Of course, I am not a doctor or, you know, a medical professional at all. But my question is like, how do you know you're in pari? Like, have you talked to a doctor about it? Like that kind of a thing. Yeah. So I just started to notice differences that felt like they were hormonal or, like, connected to, like, my cycle. And so I went to a doctor and confirmed it. Okay, great. Good. Just making sure. And do you have any treatment plan? No, no, they suggested. Turkey. but I just haven't done well with any kind of like hormonal based, um,

totally medication. So, um, so I'm hoping to go toward Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine. Um, so that's like kind of in the work. And you're how old now?

41. I just turned 41. And then in terms of perimenopause, are you sharing that detail like just as like context for your lived experience? Or did you have like particular questions about that? Because I know what to say about your transits. But I'm just kind of curious about that piece. As context, it's just kind of like, okay, I know I'm also going through

this in addition to all the stuff that's also happening. And so it's just part of the chaos, I guess.

Totally. Okay. Let's pull up your chart. So we've got your chart up and we're not sharing your birth data

because a woman is allowed to have secrets. But we do have your birth chart up on the video

version of this episode. And there's so many things I want to say. But let's start with this.

You are going through two of the midlife transits at the same time, which doesn't always happen, right?

Like some generations, you know, I went through the Pluto Square years separate from when I went

through the Neptune Square.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, but the transits enough that you understand what I'm referring to?

Uh-huh, yes.

Okay, great, good, good, good.

Because the thing that I think is so interesting about the midlife transits, there's three of them. There's Pluto square to Pluto, Neptune square to Neptune, and Uranus opposite Uranus, is that for different generations, they happen at really different ages. And that kind of like messes with my brain a little bit because it's not as consistent as something like the Saturn return, if that makes sense.

Now, the Pluto square to Pluto, you are wise to connect it to your Pluto square to the sun because that transit, which is very much over, activated your natal Pluto because in your birth chart, you've got the sun at 29 degrees of Libra and Pluto at two degrees of Scorpio, aka they are sitting right on top of each other.

And when something happens to one of them, you're going to feel it on the other.
