Dash Snow, Enfant Terrible, addict, artist and all-around crazed dreamer, has joined what’s come to be known as the 27 Club, just another euphemism for a very deadly Saturn Return. He died right on the cusp of his 28th birthday, just months before his official Saturn Return was about to begin. The coming Saturn in Libra years will be all about art, beauty, love, partnership, justice, and the way we choose to see ourselves through the eyes of others. Snow was immersed in both beauty and ugliness, exposing the grit of our world through his art.

As Saturn in Virgo comes to a close this fall, those of you born in the early 80s are getting a glimpse of what it means to come full circle. You are in the crucible, in the purification ritual, and you have the opportunity to come out alive, a new and better version of yourself when you’re all done. Take extreme examples like that of Snow’s life and death as grand metaphors for what not to do during your Saturn Return.
