The Turning Point of Your Forties Is a Time When Two Cycles Cross
When reading your forties by the cycles of the stars, the center is the two of Jupiter and Saturn. Because cycles of different lengths each meet a turning point within your forties, your forties can be read not as a "somehow busy period," but as a period with many breaks also on a cycle basis.
The pillar of this article is holding the judgment to expand and the judgment to fix in place divided. In work in your forties, scenes where these two judgments are required at the same time increase. If you know the difference between cycles, it becomes easier to distinguish which judgment a scene needs.
Jupiter's Cycle — A Fourth Return at About Age 48
Jupiter takes about 12 years to go around the Sun once, and stays in one sign for about 1 year. A Jupiter return, which returns to the position when you were born, comes about every 12 years, and reaches its fourth time at about age 48.
Jupiter is a star read in connection with expansion. The fourth turning point in the second half of your forties can be read as a marker for choosing anew, toward the next 12 years, the assignments and ways of involvement you have expanded so far. Unlike how you expanded in younger times, in the second half of your forties, rather than expanding itself, the center becomes how to choose which scope to leave and which scope to fold away. If you try to maintain everything you have expanded, the power that can be used per item becomes thin. Choosing the scope anew in a turning-point period lightens the next cycle.
Saturn's Opposition — A Period on the Opposite Side, Coming at About Age 44
Saturn takes about 29 years to go around once. For that reason, a period when Saturn comes to the opposite side of Saturn's position when you were born comes about every 14 to 15 years. About age 44 also falls on that opposition period.
An opposition is read differently from a return. Whereas a return is a marker for a break and remaking, an opposition is read as a marker for reviewing your current position from the opposite side. If, from the first half to the middle of your forties, you have a feeling that the form of responsibility entrusted to you has changed, or that how you are evaluated has changed, it can be read layered with this period. What is important is not to read an opposition period as a bad period. If you use it as a period to check the placing of your position anew, it leads not to forcing change, but to a judgment to fix the form of continuing in place.
Between the First Half and the Second Half of Your Forties, the Center of Judgment Changes
The first half of your forties, as a period close to Saturn's opposition, centers on checking position. Does your current assignment and role match how you use your power? If there is a part that does not match, is it the content of the assignment, or the scope of responsibility? Checking divided is the work of this period.
The second half of your forties, as a period close to Jupiter's fourth turning point, centers on choosing the scope anew. For example, if there is a scene of deciding whether to hand a long-held assignment to the next person and move your power to a new way of involvement, an order can be taken where, based on the checking in the first half, you decide the scope in the second half. This is the concrete work example placed in this article.
Check in the first half, choose in the second half. If you read your forties in these two stages, the feeling that turning points concentrate at once softens.
So That Turning Points Do Not Become Material for Hurrying
The more turning points there are in cycles in a period, the more you want to hurry conclusions. However, both Jupiter and Saturn are slow-moving stars. There is no need, in the few months before and after a turning point, to decide everything anew.
In this site's way of thinking, a turning point is not for predicting events, but a marker for a period in which to place checking work. If you are in your forties, place the work of checking position in the first half, and the work of choosing scope anew in the second half, in each period. Please use the cycles as a guide for that. If work is placed divided, the turning points of your forties can be used not as a period to hurry, but as a period for fixing things in place in order.
