Since we are in the sign of Aquarius and
the ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus, we thought we would discuss the
opposition Uranus makes to itself around the age 40-42. This post applies to many of our readers, as
many are in this age group. It is
considered to be a very significant aspect in your Natal Chart and a turning
point in life’s direction. When
deciphering this aspect, please take into consideration the placement of Uranus
in your Birth Chart by house, as well as the house transiting Uranus is moving
through. These houses signify the areas
of life that are being awakened to new and exciting possibilities in your life.
This is a period of major transitions in
life, known by many as the mid-life crisis, when you have a strong feeling that
you only have a short time to live your former life, as a new horizon is just
around the next corner. This is the time
when people resort to buying that new flashy automobile, or have that fling as
they believe that life is about to change and they do not want to miss
anything. This does not imply that most
people will resort to this type of behaviour, only that if one is not satisfied
to this point, they may reach out for something new and exciting. The misunderstanding with this is that these
individuals think that they can find satisfaction in their life from the
outside world, rather than looking inside for the answers.
Often people feel that life’s shortcomings or
what they think is missing in life has to be obtained now as time is running
short. This is a misconception and far
from reality, as they are only just beginning the second half of life. The first half consisted of external
motivation, such as career, the building of resources and focusing on the
material side of life and getting ahead in a worldly way. The second half of life which is now
beginning to materialize when one will be forced to go within to face oneself and
to start to make alterations to what is important for their own personal life.
Many experience a sudden change in
direction, such as moving out of a long term marriage or occupation with the
hopes that they can quench this thirst that is occurring in their lives. Once again, they are looking outside for
answers and jumping. The nature of
Uranus is to jump and seek out personal freedom of expression. This period suggests a climax and honest look
at life’s direction--where it is now and where you want to take it. People often spend long hours reviewing their
lives and what they have accomplished.
Some make radical changes with the hope of finding meaning in their
lives. Others try to make something new
of themselves through as vocational changes, change of residence, new friends
and acquaintances.
The direction in life is often unclear during
this phase and what lies ahead can be frightening, but much depends on your life’s
attitude, your belief structures and what matters to you. It may be time to turn that corner in your life;
to open yourself to new horizons and to objectively face who you truly are. The changes that occur are often considered
radical and often present themselves in quick and sudden exchanges. Move forward in your new direction, but take
your time and be sure you are making appropriate changes to your life that not
only appeal to you but corroborate with the good of the whole.
