In your birth chart, Uranus represents your individuality--that part of you that must "break away form the pack" in order to be true to yourself.
When you're roughly 42 years old, you (like all of us) experience what's called your Uranian opposition. Uranus moves 180 degrees (or the equivalent of 6 zodiac signs) away from its position in your birth chart. In other words, it opposes its natal position.

For example, if you were born with Uranus at 7 degrees Libra, then Uranus reaches 7 degrees Aries (and that, in fact, is where Uranus is currently).
By the time that you experience your Uranian opposition, your individuality has grown and changed to the point that it confronts the way that you've been expressing it, up until that point in your life. It begs the question of "Who's life is it anyway?"
By the time that we reach our early 40s, many of us find that we've been living our lives to a great extent to satisfy someone or something else. Maybe it's a parent we've been trying to satisfy. Maybe it's been society. Whatever the case, we're challenged to start living our lives based more on our own definitions of "truth" and "success."
For an inspiring example of how one might take a stand for freedom while going through a Uranian opposition, consider what the African-American civil rights activist Rosa Parks (1913-2005) did.

In 1955, when Parks was 42 years old, she refused to obey a Montgomery, Alabama, bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It became an important symbol of the modern Civil Rights Movement, and Parks became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation.
So now, think about your own Uranian opposition.
If you've already experienced yours, how did you respond to the call of freedom when it arose for you?
And if you'll be experiencing your Uranian opposition in the next so-many years, how might you answer the call when it arises?
