Uranus Opposite Natal Uranus: Astrology-Based Advice

Dear Elsa,

I will soon be turning 40. I never thought I would go through a mid-life crisis phase, but I feel I may be in the depths of one. I married at the age of 19 and we’ve been married for almost 21 years. We have two wonderful teen-age daughters and I will graduate college in December.

With all this great stuff going on in my life, why do I feel so empty? I feel suffocated and tied down. I went to the movies last night… alone again. My husband works out of town and the girls are always with their friends. More and more I am finding myself alone, and my eyes are beginning to wander. Recently I’ve lost 15 pounds, changed my hair style and bought some nicer clothes. I am seriously headed for trouble if I can’t pull myself back together.

Please help!! What am I to do?
