With her sun in Libra making her one of the major arbiters of beauty in our culture, Annie Leibovitz’s gifts can’t be denied. But now that she’s caught up in the challenges of her second Saturn return, her life seems decidedly less glamorous. Born in 1949 with her Saturn in perfectionist Virgo, Liebovitz has made a…

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…

We’ve talked about the implications of the Pluto in Capricorn era since 2008, when it began by gutting our economy and altering our cultural landscape. The important piece to remember between now and the early 2020s is that Pluto, planet of total transformation, is moving through a constellatory space it hasn’t occupied since the 1770s. That’s…

By now we’ve all heard about Neda and watched the graphic, wrenching images of her death by Baseej snipers over the weekend. She has become the face of the new revolution in Iran, her bloodied image affixed to flags waving in protest all over the world. Neda was 27, born in 1982. Although her actual birthdate…
Guess Who's Having a Saturn Return? Welcome to the New Iran

As we mentioned back in 2007, the Saturn in Virgo years promised interesting times indeed, especially for the nation of Iran. That’s because Iran’s Islamic Republic was born in 1979 — when Saturn was last in Virgo. Well, kiddies, can you figure out what that means? Iran is having its very first Saturn Return, and going through…

The buzz about the new film by Eric Schlosser, author of the acclaimed Fast Food Nation, is pretty intense right now. How appropriate for Saturn to provide a real in your face look at what’s in your plate during the last few months of his sojourn through Virgo, ruler of the body and the digestive system. We…

Any student of Saturn knows that he brings down his big black boot in order to whip us into shape. If he tries a few times and we don’t get the message, he’ll pull out the big guns. It’s not fun or pretty, but it gets the job done in most cases. The savagery of…

We promised back in August of 2007 that Saturn in Virgo would be a time of purification: Al Gore has been sounding the alarm on the fate of our planet for years, but he’ll be pleased to see how Saturn in Virgo finally gets the populace to serious work on cleaning our air, dealing with climate…

Currently on exhibit at MOMA is the work of Teching Hsieh, a NYC-based performance artist who is now in his second Saturn Return. On September 30th, 1978, when he was 28 and at the beginning of his first SR, he embarked on the first of what would become known as his “One Year Performances”. He sealed himself…

As we experience the early birth pangs of Pluto in Saturn’s restrictive territory, the message is getting through: no more excess. Sagittarius, the sign that Pluto lived in for the last decade-plus, was all about over-the-top, insane, can’t-get-enough indulgence. Sagittarius can’t stand rules or boundaries, and it doesn’t mind a private jet or two. The…
