“la regada de las cuarenta”

10:30 Jan 30, 2020 

I had written a long ref but it seems something went wrong; just as Helena points out, las cuarenta, unless one considers this a typo for los cuarenta (and so a reference to a midlife crisis), las cuarenta must refer to a deck of cards -particularly in this context to cards used for divination purposes. Regada here sounds as a derogatory way to refer to divination cards; mislead, nonsense, error. And so something like;

... the I-Ching (...) is familiar to her and [culturally] close to the "deck nonsense" [divination-cards nonsense]

because it's feminine - las cuarenta, not los (años) cuarenta.

Las cuarenta may be the 1940s, when she was active.
