When We’re In Between Life Chapters, What Can We Do?

by Robert Wilkinson

I recently gave you an article about the “in betweens.” We often find ourselves in between jobs, relationships, places to live, spiritual inclinations, and ways of doing our Being. Today we revisit how to navigate “the in betweens.”

This article is the follow up to A Space In Time – Astrology and 2012, where I explained that humanity is between great Ages, and as such we all will be feeling that we’re constantly in between life chapters, life relationships, and constantly changing spiritual emphases. From that article:

In any case, the traps of the old 4D world are gradually ending, since perception based in subtle senses is growing stronger and will continue to grow for thousands of years to come as a function of human evolution out of the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The reason the subtle field and our ability to access it grows stronger is due to Neptune conjunct Chiron in Pisces at the Cusp of the Age in close opposition to Trans-Pluto, or Percephone, aka “Divine Mother Energy.” This vast, subtle field of relatedness is what humanity is now opening to in this 21st century.

We are not yet left the Age of Pisces, and yet are experiencing the Age of Aquarius due to Uranus and Neptune passing through that sign, as I’ve explained in past articles. We have been awakened to Aquarian energy, dreamed it into collective consciousness over most of the past decade and a half, and await Pluto’s passage through Aquarius to see the seeds of the new Era sprout. Until then, we’re collectively in “the in betweens.”

So if you are in doubt as to what’s up because you’re sensing “the in betweens” in your life, you’re not alone. Billions of us are now in “the in betweens.” The challenge is to go inward to the heart of compassion within you, realize your one-ness with All-That-Is, and allow yourself to be in the Now, freed from the thieves of the past and future stealing your attention from what Is. You have nothing to lose but your separateness and your fears.

There’s more, as well as a link to the original article on “the in betweens.” In the follow up article, “Navigating the In Betweens,” I offered a few insights about how not to get hung up in the moment, and how to open to “an attitude of gratitude” for all that we’ve experienced in the old era while staying open to all that could come to us in the new. Here’s a small piece from that article:

Often in life we overlook experiencing what's happening NOW while getting lost in mental and emotional memories or hopes. There are times to say hello, and times to say goodbye. When the new has not yet arrived and we're still letting go of the past, we have a great opportunity to stay fully centered in being aware of our direct experience up to that point in our life, with all the feelings and ideas we've been opened to because of that experience.

When we're in "the in betweens," it can be very helpful to honor old friends, whether plants, animals, or other humans, by feeling the fullness of our experience over the days, months, or years we walked together here on Earth. It helps to see what life has taught us about compassion, opening our hearts and minds to a greater view of the movie of our life and how that which is leaving us impacted us. When it's time to say thanks, feeling gratitude and appreciation for the experience while knowing that phase of our lives is over forever, by doing so we claim the moment.

Oh Robert, thank you for this, not sure how Im going to go with the mars conj saturn next week as its already affecting me and I am calming myself as much as possible. The mars conj saturn is conjunct my natal asc, which means its squaring natal saturn and sextile natal nth node, mars and uranus. Meanwhile venus is conjunct natal merc which is being opposed by pluto and squared by uranus. BML is also conjunct my vertex and mercury is within a degree of my MC…..this to me screams hide lol…yet it doesnt look like that is likely somehow…sux to be a 0′ cancer sun at the moment still there has to be a positive way for me to used it, its all about balance, remaining calm yet passionate and being different …..I also have asteroid karma conjunct natal "Divine Mother" in 10th house….oooooh a coming out party (not sexual orientation) but revealing myself? sheesh seems I am between crab shells so wheres a rock?

You have indeed intuited what a group of us need to be reminded of/feel supported in hearing. Be well.

Thank you so much for your amazing and insightful work, I feel so blessed and relieved reading your articles, especially this one, and I loved your words on Michele Meiche's blogradio show "Awakenings", you kept me going this weekend.

Much peace and love to you

In between old and (hopefully) new job..In between old and new (hopefully) place to live in different countries...In between old and new friends...In between languages and different ways of communicating...In between old and new dreams and desires...In between, indeed!

Egads! You mean I'm not alone in this right now? Transition has been going on a few months - so much so that I'm only just catching up on things. Being forced out early from an outstanding and very successful career I love(d) due to health reasons, and realizing with some sadness that my job may well have been the source of my personal grounding - clearly not a good thing. Part of my in between journey has involved picking up the pieces and re-emersing myself in positive energy thoughts, activies and my loved ones, all of which should have been grounding me all along. Stinks when the workaholic hits rock bottom...

...On the other hand, I'm being given this opportunity to have a second chance at "what do I want to be when I grow up". This is a blessing that many never get, especially when serious health issues intervene. I sincerely hope the rest of you who currently find yourselves in between life chapters are getting the same opportunity to re-evaluate, rewrite and renew the rest of your lives also.

Thank you again, Robert, for another very timely posting. Peace & blessings to you all.
