You've probably heard what people say, supposedly you can't celebrate your 40th birthday? The older generation is generally scared, saying that “if you don’t want the table to be laid for your 40 days soon, you cannot celebrate 40 years”... Horror, to be honest. But, should it still have a logical explanation? Where did it all come from, what are the signs and what in reality can and cannot be done on your 40th birthday? Read on!
Of course, everyone believes that celebrating the 40th anniversary is impossible according to superstition. Let's then figure out what exactly this sign is connected with, and whether it is worth believing at all.
First, we find out the opinion of esotericists. They argue that exactly 40 years are the line that weakens a person's energy. That is, after 40 years, a person's strength decreases, he becomes weaker in terms of energy. And the day of the fortieth birthday is precisely the trait that leads to weakening. That is, there is no need to mark the day of your weakening, in simple terms.
As for folk signs, they say that it is also impossible to celebrate this holiday precisely because of the weakening of a person in energy terms on the day of his fortieth birthday. Therefore, it is believed that it is impossible to communicate with a person with an "evil eye" on this day! But no one knows, what if a person with evil intentions will be present at the holiday and jinx the birthday man.
If you dig deeper, then the number 40 itself is unfortunate for a person. Why? Well, of course, for 40 days the soul of a deceased person is still on earth, which is unfavorable for his loved ones.

The ancient Greeks considered 40 years to be the peak of decline. In those days, after all, few people lived to see their fiftieth birthday.
I don't even know if it's worth connecting all this with our modern world, but it's somehow already scary to celebrate the fortieth anniversary after all this data. Indeed, in reality, it turns out that after 40 years, a person begins a new stage in his life. And any changes can promise, both pleasant surprises and not so much.
Let us then understand the customs of this day. Let's say you still planned to celebrate your fortieth birthday, what then should you do? There are some tricks!
- You need to invite to your birthday only your loved ones, whom you trust 100%, they certainly will not jinx.
- You can celebrate your 40th birthday after the immediate date of birth, for example, the next day or the next weekend. This way you can avoid the mystical date.
- And you can deceive a mystical day, and celebrate not the fortieth anniversary, but the departure of 39 years. You just need to warn all the guests not to be congratulated on your birthday, but to focus on leaving 39 years. So no one will touch the mystical number with words and thoughts!
- Yes, in principle, you can come up with a completely different reason for the holiday, for example, to arrange some kind of themed party.
