Age 11, 59, 107

EGO CONFUSION
Cycle: energy/consolidation/change
Phase: ego
Phase Type: energy/consolidation/change
Year: emotional
Year Type:change
Expression: immature confusion/proud confusion/philosophical confusion
Astrology: At 11 you're Aries-Pisces and energizing; at 59 you're Leo-Pisces and consolidating; at 107 you're Sagittarius-Pisces and changing.

At 11, 59 and 107 your 12-year ego phase fades out, preparing you for a completely different 12-year phase next year, and before the year ends your ego is likely to be challenged by an incredible emotional change. It's an emotionally confusing year, and if you don't appreciate that one phase is ending and another is starting your ego can suffer.

At some time this year, you will lose interest in ego gratification -- fame, fortune and limelight -- and want to move on to a different life focus.

Learning how to project and control your ego, and generally how to handle power and achieve your ego potential was a crucial phase in your development and now it has come to an end.

This year, withdrawal from the limelight to reflect on things is a natural progression in your development.

In this year you cannot help being aware that something amazing is happening to you, that you are being prepared for a new purpose - that you are about to leave who you have been for the last twelve years and become someone new. Your ego has matured to the point where it has actualized - it has expressed everything it was designed to expressed - and in this year you marvel at your achievements, shrug off your failures and enjoy who you are before you prepare yourself for a new phase.

From 48-59 your ego has gone down the same path it travelled from birth to the age of 11. Then, your childhood ego was developing. This time your mature ego was developing. If you live to be 96, you will start the same process all over again to develop a super-mature ego.

Eleven is typically the year when we progress from primary school to high school, from a place where we were the big guys to a place where we are the little guys.

Similarly, 59 is typically the year when we progress from a career to retirement, from a place where we were senior in comparison with everyone else to a place where we are babies in comparison with everyone else.

What is so special about being 11 and 59 is that we know what lies ahead. Society has mapped it out for us. At no other age do we have this certainty that we will be somewhere else at the end of the year, whether we like it or not. It can be an incredibly empowering year if your ego has been satisfied by everything you achieved in the last twelve years - if your ego is indeed actualized - and you are ready to move on; but it can be an incredibly sad year if your ego was denied expression for some reason or other.

At some level of your consciousness you know that something has come to an end. You may still feel a need to be out there, leading society and showing off, but your spirituality allows you to see the futility of that need. You may be radiating power, energy and warmth, yet experiencing confusion and illusion. The world is not as bright and rosy as it once seemed to be. There is a sense of deep emotional release. You may want to be 'out there', but spirituality, seclusion and inner growth will become an important part of your growth this year.

Because it is the end of the ego phase -- and such an emotionally draining year -- this year is one in which someone 107 years old, in difficult circumstances, may choose as a natural life ending. Having been through it twice before -- once at 11 and again at 59 -- there may be no desire to repeat history.
