So do many anniversaries pereshagnuvshie its fourth decade, guided by the conventional wisdom we accept. Where "grow legs" in these frightening prejudice, because many people do not celebrate their 40 years and do not advise others?
Editorial Gingerbread Man I collected 7 reasons that explain the ban, but you still draw conclusions - to believe or not to believe.
BIBLICAL HISTORY
In our country it is customary to seek the truth of the ban to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "negative" biblical chronology associated with the number 40:
• 40 days Jesus was in the desert, where he was subjected to temptations of the devil;
• 40 days lasted Flood;
• 40 days of a person's soul is on earth after death;
• 40 years the Jewish people wandered in the desert.
By the way, 40 days after birth the young mother is considered "unclean" and are not allowed to enter the church.
Guardian Angel "Retirement"
According to one of the beliefs that is very popular, it was the 40th anniversary of man backs his guardian angel, leaving him without a high-protection.
WARNING Tarot Cards
Some people who believe spirituality, find confirmation of this, why can not we celebrate the 40th anniversary, in numerology and Tarot. In the eastern Magic 40 - the number of deaths. More precisely, not 40, and 4.
However, according to the laws of numerology is the same: 4 + 0 = 4. The main arch Tarot "Death" has the lettering "M" and the letter "Mem" of the Hebrew alphabet corresponds exactly to the number 40.
NEGATIVE IN ASIAN
Residents of East and Central Asia are considered "quadruple" the number of bearing evil, misery, and death. Therefore, this number is not in the designation floors, apartments, hospital rooms, television channels and technology names.
COP COMBINATION AND ROCK
Those who do not believe in magic numbers, perceive the negative in that the alphabetic equivalent of the number "40" is composed of two words "dirty" and "rock". This combination can be regarded as dirty (impurity and rock) - fate inevitable outcome.
On a planetary scale
A number of astrologers believe the 40-year mark of crisis, since 39 to 43 people is under heavy "patronage" the planet Uranus, which at this stage becomes the opposition itself is on the natal chart (astrological birth chart person).
This position of Uranus leads to sudden and major changes in your life - from the change of residence, work up a serious reappraisal of bankruptcy, crises and diseases. On the "hand" of Uranus during this period it works even Pluto, bringing in throwing the crisis, panic and confused life goals.
the memory of ancestors
The ban on the celebration of the 40th anniversary may be associated with the fact that the life expectancy of our ancestors was very short. Lived up to 40 years was considered to have a very old man: teeth fall out, his hair, his face covered with "kilometers" of wrinkles, the body is "occupied" the disease with which a gaunt 40-year-old body is struggling to cope.
Believe it or not? It's up to you. According to the Christian faith any superstitions and omens - a whim, and to believe in them - a sin. And if you analyze all the frightening events associated with the number 40, it turns out that after the test always comes a new, better life ...
