What if the shifts in the stars were the missing key to your second stage of life? In this powerful episode of Her Second Stage, Hilda Lunderstedt sits down with astrologer Desiree Rodriques, known as "The Redhead," to explore how astrology is more than a trend—it’s a tool for midlife transformation. With the Age of Aquarius fully underway and Pluto now in Aquarius until 2040, the energies affecting our lives—especially for women over 45—are profound. This episode reveals how these cosmic shifts are influencing our relationships, emotional growth, and spiritual purpose. You’ll learn why understanding your birth chart is like discovering your soul’s personal blueprint—and how the planetary alignments at the moment of your birth shape the core lessons, gifts, and challenges in your life. The Redhead explains how the moon governs your emotional cycles, how Pluto signals deep transformation, and how Aquarius energy invites us to innovate, expand, and think beyond limitations. Whether you’ve always followed astrology or you’re just now feeling the cosmic pull, this episode will help you align with the larger cycles of life, embrace your inner visionary, and navigate the second stage of life with clarity and purpose. 

You’ll also learn:

  • What the Age of Aquarius really means and how Pluto in Aquarius is impacting the collective and your personal evolution.
  • Why women in midlife are uniquely positioned to benefit from this shift toward intuition, innovation, and authenticity.
  • How astrology reveals your deepest soul curriculum, from relationship patterns to personal purpose.
  • What Aquarian energy means for both Aquarians and non-Aquarians during this 20-year cycle of global change.
  • Practical ways to use astrology as a tool for healing, decision-making, and empowered living.
  • How to work with cosmic “weather” to fly your kite on the right day—and stop fighting the wind.

Hilda and Desiree also explore why the zodiac isn’t just for mystics or moon lovers—it’s for every woman who’s ready to stop grinding through life and start flowing with it. The cosmos are calling. Are you listening?
