Turning 40 on 8/8

[Lion o ness]

Im turning 40 tomorrow, well in just a few hours..
I have been feeling really depressed about it...

If anyone can help me out on my SR, I would greatly appreciate it.

[may28gemini]

why are you depressed? i thought solar returns are a joyous occasion, esp. for a leo!

Just turning 40.. I havent done anything.. I go to work and I come home..
Not much of a life.

Im not a outgoing Leo, Im introverted.. I dont do well in social scenes.

One really fast look makes me thing it's going to be a good year. Your profected ASC is in your 5th, as is your SR ASC...so 5th house to the 1st, and your natal 5th is ruled by the Moon, which in the SR chart is in Taurus...exalted. It's also in the SR 7th...hmm ideas to explore around partnerships and creativity? Pleasure, children, new ideas? Something to think about, anyway. PS, turning 40 is hard, but...it's survivable.

Thanks for taking the time to do that...

I feel so depressed about it... I keep crying over it... I just cant get my head to accept 40 yet... I feel sick to my stomach.

Do what I do. Celebrate anniversaries instead. So today is just the 5th anniversary of your 35th birthday. Of course, next month is the 8th anniversary of my 35th birthday, and in three years a few folks I know are going to have to take their shoes off to do that math.

By the way? Happy Birthday.

Hi,
Currently you are passing through a phase of Sun/Rahu(NN) that is why you are feeling low. But after Oct 2012, you will enter in the phase of Sun/Jup.
According to Vedic system, Jupiter in your Birth chart is the Lord of 11th and 2nd house, and Sun is the Lord of 7th house but placed in 6th house.
Regarding relationship matter difficult to say positiveness, but regarding finances can be a good period for you.
From your Annual chart_
Again you will prefer finances than relationship. But do not worry, this will be a good year for you. Just take care of your health.

Right now you are undergoing your Neptune square. It's an outer planet passage that does not seem to get a lot of press, but I think it may be relevant because Neptune rules your ascendant, and its natal position is being squared by strong Neptune in the sign it rules [Pisces] and from the house that is it associated with [the 12th].

Neptune, Pisces, 12th house are about both the dissolution of boundaries, and also the resultant state of boundlessness. Like freefall. They are also symbolic of disillusionment. None of this is a particularly comfortable circumstance, especially for those of us with a lot of fixed energy. It seems like you may be grappling with the boundary that you may think the age of 40 represents, for example like the boundary between youth and middle-age? But whatever boundary or containment you feel melting away, the kind of honest emotional response you are experiencing deserves all the space it needs and also your attention. There is something important going on here for you to know, perhaps something larger than just turning 40.

I would also mention that, in my personal experience, transits from Neptune can cause us to experience unidentifiable illness or malady. So do not be disturbed if conventional medicine cannot identify why you are sick to your stomach or feel like crying. It may be a symbolic representation of what is trying to be born into your consciousness. For example. if you are sick to your stomach, we might wonder what is it in your life, as you are turning 40, that you cannot stomach.

Anyway, these are some thoughts that you might wish to play around with or just reflect upon. And no matter what you do, please know that I am wishing you well.

Cheers to you.
