Last weekend, Scorpio Hillary Clinton announced her bid for the 2008 Democratic nomination. We’ve always told you that the key to a successful life is survival of one’s first Saturn Return. In 1977, when she was about to turn thirty, Hillary was already going strong. She founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families that year, beginning…
If our dear readers will allow a holiday indulgence in the spirit of the feast, we’ll admit a humdinger of a crush on Sam Talbot, current Top Chef contestant and former Lower East Side pushcart vendor. This Saturn-ruled specimen is a self-styled socialist, with a blog to match. How totally swoon-worthy. Socially-conscious hotness meets passionate man that…
So those crazy kids went off and got hitched this past weekend in a remote Italian village. Despite her Georgio Armani-designed gown, Katie Holmes looked like a deer caught in headlights in all of the paparazzi images taken before and after the Scientology ceremony. Her Sagittarian optimism is no match for the strangeness to come. As…
The people have spoken and our democracy is intact, Mercury-retrograde recounts not withstanding. Aries-firebrand Nancy Pelosi is the new Speaker of the House, the first woman to hold this eminent position. Here at Saturn HQ, we salute Speaker Pelosi and look forward to her tenure. That said, she won’t necessarily have an easy time of it. With…

With the signing of the new torture bill today, Bush took the very step that Saturn in Leo expected him to. With one flourish of his pen, Furious George officially ended Habeas Corpus, a law that protects basic American rights that go back to the birth of our nation. This is serious stuff, and it’s kind…
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…
These are hard times. The 24 hour news cycle keeps us up with the relentless death and despair in the Middle East. Innocent Lebanese citizens driven from their homes, Israelis hiding from a barrage of rockets in their bunkers — and Saturn has a role to play. Israel is currently experiencing its second Saturn Return,…
Big Daddy Saturn is about to enter the heart of the constellation of the Leo the Lion on July 3rd. Planets often have their strongest pull on our core when they reach the center of a constellation. Now that the cosmic taskmaster is about to enter the second decan of Leo, the blaring message is:…
