I’ve noticed that my periods have changed recently, and I’m sure I’m in, or moving towards, peri-menopause. My last period started on the eleventh of September; I spotted for two days, then stopped. Four days later, I bled properly, then spotted for a couple more days. However, I think I ovulated last weekend – pain in my ovary was the indication – so just seven days after my proper bleed, and now I feel like I have horrendous PMS with the tiredness, the irritability and the anger.

Spiritually, I feel this is reflecting in my outer world. I feel as though I’m stuck, but that I need to move. Not necessarily location, but my life needs to move. The old me is ending; the new me needs to be born, but I don’t think I’m even conceived yet, let alone developing.
