"31 - Get Up and Run!"

I no longer contribute to any astrology message boards - not many have healthily survived the onslaught of Facebook. Noel Tyl's is one that has kept going, more thinly populated, but still alive. I wander in there occasionally to lurk awhile. (Do people still lurk, or has Facebook coined a new term for that non-active activity?) Anyway, a thread started by James Williams with the heading Age 31 ?! held my attention for a while.
"Was the year you turned 31 pivotal for you?!" Mr Williams asked.
If the above link doesn't work you could go to Noel Tyl's website and scroll down the list of discussions on the forum there.

I thought back in my own life to age 31, and did recall something interesting, if not exactly pivotal. (Pivotal = of crucial importance in relation to the development or success of something else.) Erm...well maybe it was - eventually!

I admit to not properly understanding all that was said in the fairly short discussion thread, some of it related to vedic astrology, which is where the root of this idea about age 31 originates.

At age 31 I first met the person with whom I would share the next 30+ years; I'd leave my job, move home and job more than once, but all this led, a few years later, to my long-term post in the civil service.

I'd already looked into transits in relation to this part of my life. Saturn was transiting Taurus, and met up with natal Uranus and South Node of the Moon at 13 degrees, exact in May 1970. Transiting Pluto conjoined natal Neptune around the same time, transiting retrograde Neptune conjoined natal Mars. Uranus had trined natal Sun from Libra, in April, then retrograded to the same trine in August. Something was goin' on, above and below for me! Whether any of it corresponds with vedic theories about 32nd year (or age 31 as we call it) I can't say.

Doe anyone else reading along have any outstanding experience from their own age 31 to contribute?

(Note: "31 - get up and run" is I understand, from an online list, how bingo callers are wont to announce the picking of that number.)
