Taylor Swift, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe—a Neptune-Saturn Trio

(c)8-26-12 by Donna Cunningham, MSW

Hi, Folks, a quick note to let you know about an article I just posted on Skywriter that you may find interesting.  I’m finishing a workbook for stellium holders called The Stellium Tool Kit, and the example chart I’ve been using is that of newsmaker, Taylor Swift, the country singer.  I chose her because she has a stellium of four planets in Capricorn on her Ascendant–among them are Neptune and Saturn, closely conjunct.

Long story short, I wound up also reviewing the charts of JFK, Sr. and Marilyn Monroe, both born with prominent Neptune-Saturn aspects. JKF was born in the 1920s during the Neptune-Saturn conjunction just before yours, and Taylor Swift was born during the Neptune-Saturn conjuction just after yours.

I thought you might like to see what other generations are doing with this important and challenging aspect.  If so, you can see it here: Taylor Swift, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe—a Neptune-Saturn Trio. (The conjunctions happen about every 35-37 years, and the last three were in 1916-18, 1951-52, and 1989-90.)

If you’ve never read it before, here’s a recap of some ways Neptune-Saturn aspects affect you.  The comment section is worth reading too, as people share stories that are eerily similar.

The Difference between the First and Second Saturn Return

(c)10-29-2011 by Donna Cunningham, MSW

In response to a reader’s question, here’s how I would explain the three Saturn returns – each is the culmination of a stage of maturation, focused in the areas of life represented by the house Saturn is placed in natally and by natal Saturn’s aspects. Saturn represents important roles we play, like parent, spouse, boss, or teacher, and so the return may focus on adjusting to those roles. It is also a mini life review, an interval in which we ask ourselves and are asked by our surroundings,” how am I doing?”

Saturn return, transit beyond Saturn in the 6th house

(c)8-2011 by MimiTabby

As Transiting Saturn danced back and forth over my natal Saturn, I felt downtrodden, tired, old.  I knew that if I could just hold out to the end of July, I would finally be free of that heavy stone on my shoulders. And I could really feel it, within days, I  had more energy, my frozen shoulder is unfreezing, but Saturn is STILL in my 6th house, the house of health, small animals, and service.
