Thanks to Astrococktail<\/a> for this enlightening link about America’s Seventh Saturn Return by astrologer Robert Cole that appeared in Mother Earth News<\/a> in 1981. I love it when astrology is taken seriously by the mainstream media!<\/p>\n

On October 22, 1981\u2014in the midst of a massive solar system alignment which is currently happening in the ancient zodiacal symbol of Libra\u2014the United States experienced its seventh Saturn return. (The return of Saturn in Libra occurs only once in approximately 29 years, and its strong influences can be noted for as much as a year’s time on both sides of such dates.)<\/p>\n

Astrologically speaking, whatever was born on earth from 1775 through 1777\u2014including nations such as ours\u2014has Saturn “exalted” in the sign of Libra . . .the symbol representing the “Balance Beam of the Law”, which justifies the “defense of liberty” on one hand, and the “infringement of liberty” on the other. Indeed, according to its national astrological chart, the United States can represent both the positive and negative extremes of law and order. In the Declaration of Independence, for example, the country took on the responsibility of constructing a new order of freedom . . .yet more than once, in defense of our own liberties, we’ve considered it just to deny those of others.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, on July 4, 1776 the hot summertime sun was moving into a “square”\u2014or 90\u00b0 aspect\u2014with ponderous, restrictive Saturn. In proper astrological terminology, then, in the birth chart of the U.S., Saturn would be considered “afflicted” by the sun.<\/p>\n

Now many people will doubt the significance of such occurrences, but the fact is that every Saturn return for the United States has been marked by at least one direct and harsh confrontation with other countries over what is fair internationally, and\u2014on those occasions\u2014every President involved has made mistakes . . . the most prevalent being to employ “protective” measures and take an isolationist stance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The US has Saturn in Libra, as do many of the baby boomers who will be experiencing their second Saturn return in 2011 along with the US Saturn return. This is an interesting article with some points to think about for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
