The New Beyond with Dr Judith Rich Embracing the Journey: Reflections on Aging, Courage and Mentorship
It’s Aquarius season again here in The New Beyond and for me, that means I’ve completed another trip around the sun.
As a double Aquarian, (sun & rising signs), I am about to celebrate my 83rd birthday. And I am also celebrating the 3rd anniversary of this podcast.
So, this week’s episode is a bit self-indulgent, if you will allow, as I reflect on being in my 80’s as an Aquarian being, which is anything but ordinary, especially now, in 2025, with the overwhelming amount of change, disruption and chaos we are currently experiencing all over the world.
We are living in extraordinary times, and I think it takes great courage to be a human being on the planet right now. As an 83 year-old, I am so far from the typical profile of someone my age. And yet, I know that it is just a number. What really matters is how we make the years count while we’re here. I’ll share about that in this episode.
In this episode, I drop a bit of astrology on you. I am not an astrologer, but Aquarius is the sign of astrology, so I have a keen interest.
I discuss some background on what is happening now astrologically, that impacts every one of us, not just Aquarians. We are entering a 20-year cycle of gigantic upheaval, leading to a major shift in paradigms.
We are now firmly into the Aquarian Age, which I equate to The New Beyond. When I received the name of this podcast three years ago, I did not consciously connect the dots between these two. But it’s now clear to me, this is what it is.
The New Beyond IS the Age of Aquarius and it is fitting and proper that this podcast represents that consciousness.
If you’ll further indulge me, at the end of this week’s episode, I share a piece of my writing about why I came to the planet. I hope you can hear yourself in there and find something in it that resonates for you.
Thank you for coming along on this journey with me for the past three years.
I ask for one more indulgence: the BEST birthday gift you could give me…….. please leave a review on Apple if you find this podcast worth listening to. It makes a difference, it really does!
