It's Written in the Stars: 55 Years of Transformation and Self-Discovery


As I approach my 55th birthday, I find myself diving deeper into the mysteries of life, especially now that I’ve had the chance to fully explore and understand my birth chart. Being a Scorpio has always resonated with me, but after reflecting on the intricacies of my chart, I feel more connected to my cosmic blueprint than ever before. It’s as though the stars themselves are speaking directly to the depths of my soul.


What is it about being a Scorpio that feels so utterly aligned? Scorpios are known for their intensity, passion, and ability to see beyond the surface. We thrive in the shadows, delving into the unseen, the dark, and the profound. That’s how I’ve always lived my life—seeking meaning in the places others might avoid, constantly transforming through challenges and evolving into something stronger. There’s a power in this energy, a deep well of emotion and intuition that defines who I am.


Those who truly know me also understand that I love expressing myself through writing. I’ve been blogging since 2006. It’s my way of leaving traces of my life behind, not just for today but for the future that my children, and perhaps even my grandchildren will one day read these words and benefit from the life advice I’ve shared. Writing has always been my way of capturing life’s journey, especially the parts of it that are hidden beneath the surface.


People also know that I don’t like to be seen. Public-facing jobs, crowded spaces—they overwhelm me, sucking the mana out of me. The energy in these environments leaves me drained and uncomfortable. Ironically, my entire career has been in the public eye, from marketing to public relations to running restaurants. But it’s not where I thrive. I feel at ease when I’m working behind the scenes, moving through life unnoticed. I’m at home in the shadows, where my energy is preserved, where I can connect with the world in my own, quiet way.


As I step into this new phase of life (55 and beyond), I can’t help but feel like the mysteries of the universe are unfolding before me. My chart confirms what I’ve always known: I am deeply connected to something larger, something infinite. The darkness, the untold, the vast unknown—they don’t scare me. In fact, I find comfort in them. They mirror the depth of my personality and the unspoken layers of my soul.


At 55, this shift feels like a calling, a move toward something more aligned with my true nature. This phase is about deeper connections, not in the loud, public sense, but in a more profound, intimate way—perhaps to those in need, to something infinite and unseen. And although I’ve never particularly liked being a Scorpio, the truth is, it defines me completely. The mystery, the transformation, the intensity—I am the embodiment of that energy.


This October, I embrace the season of Scorpio, where transformation, mystery, and rebirth aren’t just in the stars—they’re within me. I am a reflection of the cosmos, and the more I understand my birth chart, the more I realize how perfectly aligned I am with this essence. The depth I feel is not just a coincidence; it’s a map written in the stars, guiding me toward my true self.


Happy October to me, the Scorpio soul who thrives in the shadows and welcomes the infinite depths of life. At 55, I embrace all that I am, knowing that this journey has only just begun.
