40 Is When Your Life Gets Turned Upside Down | The Forties Formula In Focus

So between 40 to 42 roughly is when you go through, and this is not just women, like this is just everyone, right? So you hit something that's called your Uranus opposition.

So we know Uranus as one of the planets in our solar system.

And it's a little bit weird, like it's a little bit quirky.

It's the only planet that is actually turned on its side and is rolling on its side.

So Uranus has always represented the planet that is disruptive, that is like liberates you.

It's always associated with technology and revolution and stuff like that because it was also the first planet that was discovered through a telescope.

So it is the energy of upheaval and revolution.

So what happens when you hit 40 to 42 is that because Uranus moves so slowly, it takes seven years to move through a single sign.

So if you look at the zodiac as like a wheel, By the time you're 42, it's sort of like halfway around.

So it's at this point where Uranus in the sky is directly opposite Uranus where it was at the time you were born in your chart.

So what that means is like, it's a really tense aspect.

And like in astrology, this is the, an opposition is a tense aspect because it's sort of like staring at each other, right? It's like a standoff.

Ah.

So it's like this tension, this pull between who you have been, who you were and who you're becoming.

And because, you know, Uranus is all about that liberation energy, that disruption.

So what it's really doing is just like it is forcing you to liberate yourself from who you've always been.

Wow.

So that's why people go through this change.

And like, there's a whole stereotype, right? Of like, you know, guys who in their 40s, you know, go and buy a sports car and all that kind of stuff.

But for women, I think we tend to go inwards.

And that's when we start to search and like look within ourselves and think, wow, who am I really? Like, what am I really here to do? And that's when the question of purpose comes up.

And that's...

It's completely normal.

It's completely natural.

And like, in fact, this is the point of the journey because, you know, we go through so much conditioning from a young age, from school, from your family, from society, from everything, right? And then this Uranus opposition is really a chance for us to go back to who we're meant to be.
