Age 23, 71, 119

MATERIAL CONFUSION
Cycle: energy/consolidation/change
Phase: material
Phase Type: consolidation/change/energy
Year: emotional Year Type: change
Expression: possessive confusion/analytical confusion/ambitous confusion
Astrology: At 23 you're Taurus-Pisces and energizing; at 71 you're Virgo-Pisces (opposition) and consolidating; at 119 you're Capricorn-Pisces and changing.

A 12-year material phase faces out this year, preparing you for a completely different 12-year phase next year, but before the year ends your emotional attitude towards the material world of money and things is going to come under intense pressure.

At 71 there is an opposition between material change (analysis) and emotional change (confusion), typically expressed as a clash between what your checkbook is telling you and what your heart is telling you. At 71 you are not going to be as free as a 23-year-old or someone 119 in being able to let go of material things. At 71, you typically cling to a job or a home or an asset even though you know it's time to let go.

Generally, at 23, 71 and 119 you will lose interest in the material side of life and want to move on to a different life focus, perhaps becoming more spiritual than you ever have been before. Learning how to make money, invest it, spend it and generally provide for yourself was a crucial phase in your development and now it has come to an end. Withdrawal from the material side of life this year is a natural progression in your development. It is a confusing year because your focus for the past 12 years has been a material one, and just about every decision you've made has had a material basis.

In this year you cannot help being aware that something amazing is happening to you, that you are being prepared for a new lifestyle, a new purpose - that you are about to leave material concerns behind. You look at what you have accumulated in your short lifetime and assess your worth by your possessions, what you earn and your ambitions and you find that they are not sustaining you emotionally.

You're more likely at any other age to become an emotional investor --- pouring money into schemes that have an element of mystery, spirituality or downright confusion about them. Whether you get involved in get-rich-quick schemes, start earning a living from preaching, clairvoyance or reading tea-leaves - or whether you simply dream about making money - there will definitely be something fishy about it.

Perhaps you'll get involved in a clever tax evasion scheme, or maybe money will be made from illicit substances. Who knows, maybe you'll just find your dream job or work in the business of weaving dreams - such as advertising, art or movies.

Whatever, it is going to be a confusing year for you emotionally. On one level you are financially astute -- knowing that money and emotion is a dangerous mix -- and yet you go ahead and do strange things with money. It's a form of spiritual greed. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church sold indulgences to sinners wanting to ensure a place in heaven -- a lot of them could have been aged 23 or 71.
