All is unwell on the Korean peninsula, thanks, in part, to the Cosmic Taskmaster. Kim Jong Il isn’t just suffering from a Napolean Complex: Saturn is squaring his natal Saturn in Taurus, causing his nuclear hissy fit last week. Watch for more explosive outbursts from the North as Saturn opposes Il’s sun in late November and early December. We may want to hide under our desks. Saturn is giving us a lot to chew on.

Those of us born in 1970 and 1971 are feeling L’il Kim’s pain — Saturn has been squaring our natal Saturns as well. Thought you wrapped it up when you reached your thirtieth birthday five years ago? This most recent hurdle is merely Saturn whispering in your ear: “Keep up the good work, dear.” If things feel heavy, take a deep breath — this too will pass.
