Saturn Returns ... and Saturn Returns ... and Saturn Returns

SATURN RETURNS NOW PLAYING AT THE LINCOLN THEATER

Perfect timing for us all, as Saturn opposes Uranus; perfect timing for us all, as we will all have Saturn Returns.

Saturn Returns take place roughly every 30 years in our life - at 28-30, 58-60, and 88-90. A Saturn Return presents you with an opportunity for a second chance, third chance at life. It's about growing up (Saturn) and also about growing.

The play Saturn Returns is written by Noah Haidle. In the off-Broadway play, 70 minutes without an intermission, one man, Gustin (played by 3 different actors), takes a look at his life and the three women in it.

Interestingly, another play on the same astrological theme, called Saturn's Return (See To Have and to Hold Onto Forever - It's the Siren Call from Planet Possibility) written by Tommy Murphy played in Sydney, Australia this summer. Lisa Pryor writes:

Murphy describes Saturn's Return as a crisis of confidence and identity, as you reach an age where you are "asked to lock some things in and it tests some decisions and choices you have made...I was interested in the notion of a more authentic person emerging after this process of upheaval and the consolidation of adulthood."

What to expect from a Saturn Return? Changes. Decisions. Lessons Saturn is trying to teach you. For more on this, I defer to my esteemed colleague, astrologer Nancy Fenn. You simply MUST get a Saturn Return Reading from her - first, second, or third. Nancy Fenn is the nation's Saturn Return Expert. Nancy Fenn was chosen SATURN RETURN EXPERT for the gigantic self growth community served by SELF GROWTH, the #1 Self Improvement Site On The Web, as Ranked by Google and Yahoo!

Says Nancy Fenn:

Many people are confused about the Saturn Return. Maturity is no protection. It's about choosing your real life instead of the one you thought was yours....If you have been pursuing a career or lifestyle to please someone else, there is a sense of urgency at the Saturn Return to make important changes."

The band Tool also wrote a song called Saturn's Return which you can see below.



LYRICS

Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go.

Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go.

What's it all about? If you are approaching one of your Saturn Returns, contact Nancy Fenn.

Saturn's Return and what it means to you

SATURN'S RETURN is now playing in Sydney, Australia, the new work of Tommy Murphy. In an interview on SameSame, Murphy talks about his new play.

“It’s about the fragility of love, even if love is lost… the play becomes a
cautionary tale about how you have to hold on to those treasured moments. I hope it’s a really optimistic play about the beauty of love,” he says.

Astrologically, as you know, the Saturn Returns (between 28 years and 30; between 58 and 60; between 88 and 90) are crucial times in your life. It's a time of endings and new beginnings.

Muphy adds about his play:

“It’s about any moment for anyone, of any age, when they’re consciously entering a new chapter… I feel like that happens every Monday morning, not every 29 years!” [Murphy] jokes.

This applies to readings as well. It's very important to get a Saturn Return reading. And maybe every Monday morning, as well.

Let me read for you. This is a difficult time right nows - between 2 eclipses, the "time of surprises" until November; the Dog Days (Sirius) ... I'm here to help.

James Watson, Nobel Prize (and Saturn Return)

James Watson, former Nobel Prize winner, currently under heavy fire for his allegedly "racist" comments, is 79 years old. He was born in 1928. He has therefore completed two Saturn Returns.

"Known for loving controversy," wrote one account ...

James Watson is promoting his book, "Avoid Boring People." On his path, he eschews "the boring," and certainly has walked right into his beloved controversy on this one.

At his first Saturn Return (1958), Watson was working with Crick, and Wilkins and the three were later awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (in 1962) for their research on the structure of nucleic acids. There was controversy regarding this - you can read about it just about anywhere, including on wikipedia.com.

In 1968, Watson wrote The Double Helix, one of the Modern Library's 100 best non-fiction books. He almost named it "Honest Jim" (see the theme here?) and it is described as "the sometimes painful story of not only the discovery of the structure of DNA, but the personalities, conflicts and controversy surrounding their work."

According to wik, Harvard University Press was to publish the book, and then declined and it was published by a commercial publisher, "an incident which caused some scandal."

At his second Saturn Return, in 1988, Watson was appointed Head of the Human Genome Project at the National Institutes of Health and this too involved controversy. According to wik,

He left "after conflicts with the new NIH Director. "Watson was opposed to Healy's attempts to acquire patents on gene sequences, and any ownership of the 'laws of nature.'"

Two years before stepping down from the Genome Project, he had stated his opinion on this long and ongoing controversy which he saw as an illogical barrier to research; he said, "The nations of the world must see that the human genome belongs to the world's people, as opposed to its nations." He left within weeks of the 1992 announcement that the NIH would be applying for patents on brain-specific cDNAs."

This is a man who has had great scientific achievements and contributions, both earned and awarded, amidst controversy.

We will take a look at his chart shortly to see what drives this man, and what the third Saturn Return might bring.

Hurwicz, Nobel Price, Third Saturn Return

A Third Saturn Return, A Rarity and a Beautiful One

At the age of 90, Leonid “Leo” Hurwicz has received the Nobel Prize for Economics, the oldest person to receive this honor. It occurs at his third Saturn Return, and rarely do we get to look at this phenomenon.

Saturn Returns occurs for each of us at roughly 29.5 years of age, 59.5, and 89.5. Often times of confusion and frustration, they are also opportunities to adjust one’s path in life. The more you are on your path, the easier and more productive the Saturn Returns will be. (Good to get a reading as one of them approaches!) If approached well, you learn ways to use your gifts for greater success and happiness. We are often forced to make “adult” decisions at this time, as well as having to deal with errors we have made in our path previously. Many consider it a difficult time. Actually, as we age we have an easier time with Saturn transits, and a harder time with Uranus’ transits (since it rules youth).

But back to the third Saturn Return of this inspirational man.

Leo Hurwicz was born in 1917 and received his LL.M. (master of laws degree) from Warsaw University, Poland in 1938. Was this to be his destiny in life? No, in 1939 he was studying at the London School of Economics, and by the time of his first Saturn Return he was already working in his chosen field of economics, with several publications in the pipeline (first came out in 1944).
Hurwicz’ life was not an easy one. His Jewish family was displaced to Moscow a few months before the October Revolution, and then returned to Warsaw. According to wikipedia, “After the start of the Second World War, he was forced to move to Portugal, and finally to the United States. When Hitler invaded Poland, Hurwicz became a refugee and continued his studies at Harvard and the University of Chicago. His parents and brother fled Warsaw only to be arrested and sent to Soviet labor camps.”

At the time of his second Saturn Return, 1977, Hurwicz was teaching at the University of Minnesota, where he taught for more than half a century (since 1951), and was named Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association.

Hurwicz continued his work, and also his dedication to teaching and helping others. In the 50s, he worked with Kenneth Arrow, who became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Economics prize (in 1972). Later, he was the graduate advisor to Daniel McFadden, who received the Economics prize in 2000.

Hurwicz remained steadfast on his path of studying Economics, teaching it, and fostering the growth of others. According to Minnesota Public Radio, he is “known as a gentle and supportive soul with a demanding intellect.” One of his colleagues, V. V. Chari described him as “humble.” “He treated everybody as his intellectual equal, even though the vast majority of us were not.” Chari said Hurwicz’ experiences and his ability to connect with ordinary people shaped his high-performing intellect.”

U of M President Robert Bruininks said Hurwicz characteristically downplayed his own accomplishments. He also described him as a “very humble person” who was deeply interested in teaching and his students. He described him as “a wonderful, gracious colleague. But through his work, he has had a profound impact on the study of economics around the world."
And so, at his third Saturn return, Hurwicz received the Nobel prize.

By the time of the third Saturn Return, the person has had three full passages of Saturn through their birth chart, and has therefore had three full opportunities to grow, to learn, to produce, and to mentor others … and to correct anything needing correcting. A smooth flow here, and typically, when learning of the award, Hurwicz brought it all together. “I really didn’t expect it,” he said. “There were times when other people said I was on the short list but as time passed and nothing happened I didn’t expect the recognition would come because people who were familiar with my work were slowly dying off.”

He added, “I realize there’s a limit to how many names they can put on a prize, but I just wanted to stress it’s not just my own accomplishment but the help, collaboration from these many other people.”

To bring it all around – the man, his career, his relationships, his life and his 3 Saturn Returns -- Hurwicz said in a telephone interview with the Nobel folks,

"I hope that others who deserve it also got it, and that of all applications of mechanism design he was most pleased to see it inform welfare economics.” (wikipedia.com)

Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize Winner

Doris Lessing is approaching her third Saturn Return. She is 88 and, as you know, just received the Nobel Prize for literature. According to wikipedia, Lessing is "only the eleventh woman to win the prize in its 106-year history, and also the oldest person ever to win the literature award."

At her first Saturn Return, she divorced for the second time (in rapid succession), never to marry again. She began writing in earnest.

Her second Saturn Return didn't bring much change, as happens when you are on your path to begin with, but she did move ahead into what she considered her most important work. She was writing in the Sufi theme, exploring science fiction, and doing the Canopus series, which she considered her most important work.

Mercury Retrograde, New Moon and YOU

Mercury Retrograde
October 11 - November 1
and a New Moon in Libra

First of all, Mercury Retrograde (MR) right before the holidays?? Ouch!! Just want to remind you that I'll be available all during the holidays, even on Thanksgiving Day, Kwanzaa, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, (and the holiday you choose to celebrate)etc. I'll be here for you during this time that's difficult for so many. I'll be available for readings ALL through the holidays, even on the days themselves. I'm here to help.

So what about a New Moon AND a Mercury Retrograde. Noted astrologer and Saturn Return expert** Nancy Fenn advises: "This is the perfect combination of energy to revise your strategies. Strategy is different from ways and means. It’s the game plan and that’s all important."

Now, re: this MR right before the holidays, just a few quick and general tips. Call me or email me semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com for things specifically for YOU.

• Show restraint on spending. Important. That $1000 suite isn't going to make you look all that hot, and that huge diamond isn't going to pay the mortgage. Whether for yourself, or loved ones or others, keep a lid on the money can.
• It's the presence that counts as the present!
• Always advisable to use caution during Mercury retrogrades and review what you want to purchase before you actually put down your credit card or cash.
• Take a minute before you sign on the dotted line. Call me or email me if in doubt. This applies to work contracts, new furniture, leases on electronic equipments, apartment contracts, etc., till mid-November.
• This applies to you, but also to the people you are deaing with.
• Also not a good time to schedule elective surgery.

Put these things off until MR is over.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) - good time to start a fitness program. It's good strategy. New moon and trio of planets will bless the effort.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) - Be creative about things of the heart. Many planets are gathering to make you especially alluring.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) - Mars is in your sign til May of next year. This will give incredible drive and energy to you.

David Hasselhoff (Cancer) in Trouble Again

David Hasselhoff is in trouble again, in a way that many Cancers get in trouble. He was admitted to a hospital yesterday for detox. He is a Cancer, born July 17, 1952 and this is a problem to many Cancers.

There are elements in David Hasselhoff's chart that would indicate these problem areas.

David Hasselhoff has a predominance of WATER signs, meaning that he is extremely sensitive, drive by heart and emotions. According to astrotheme, he "can't do anything on this Earth if [he doesn't] feel an affective charge (as a matter of fact the word 'feeling' is essential to [his] psychology. Action and comprehension cannot be achieved if [he doesn't] feel anything ..."

Therefore numbing his FEELINGS with alcohol is highly detrimental.

FIRE is dominant in his chart giving the propensity for rashness and impulsive behavior, while
EARTH qualities are extremely low (about 5% instead of 25%). This puts him in the heart and mind, instead of material, earthly and concrete values. A person with these elements can easily end up in trouble due to lack of good sense and carefulness.

What's the key? We are never 'bound' by our charts because we have free will. Our charts can indicate strengths and weakness, and there is always the possiblity of evolving and of transformation.

As David (now 55) lurches toward his second Saturn Return, we can only hope he learns to manage his sensitive and enthusiastic nature in ways that are not harmful to him. As Nancy Fenn, the nation's Saturn Return expert puts it: "Your second Saturn Return (between the ages of 58-60) is when, secretly and truly, for good or ill, every single one of your chicken’s for the last thirty years come home to roost.”

You can request a mini-reading from Fenn here: www.bemyastrologer.com/form.html . Please indicate you found this offer on Semiramis' blog.

Our thoughts and prayers are with David Hasselhoff as he struggles with his addiction.

To Find Meaning in Your Life - Spiritual Life Purpose

Why Would You Want a Spiritual Life Purpose Report?
By Semiramis, Psychic and Astrologer

Semiramis has been chosen SelfGrowth's Life Purpose Expert. This is the largest self growth portal on the Internet, rated #1 by google and yahoo. http://www.selfgrowth.com/ . See Semiramis' site here: http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/semiramis_appiamo.html

Did you know that an experienced astrologer who is familiar with the spiritual life purpose can take a look at your chart and find out what is probably the most important thing you will ever need to know – WHY YOU ARE HERE.

The Spiritual Life Purpose path is based on your time, date and place of birth (after all you chose to enter at that time and place), and is completely individualized. I have never seen two that were alike. We are truly unique individuals here on earth, and our paths are just as individual and unique.After all, we toss around from job-to-job, or even career field-to-career field, and sometimes from partner-to-partner, looking for answers and peace of mind. For that feeling of meaning, purpose and fulfillment. We ask other people, some experts, and try sometimes to take advice that is meant for another person, not you.

The answer is actually within you, but it may be hidden. You know how they say “If you’re not happy now, what you think would make you happy, will not.”

Well in the case of spiritual life path, it will bring you the sort of peace of mind you get only when you know why you are, what your purpose is, what you are meant to be “doing” and “being.” Some people would say why you reincarnated, but if you aren’t comfortable with that terminology, take it metaphorically. It works the same way.

We look at different nodes in your chart, and can see what this life purpose is for you individually. What works for someone else isn’t going to work for you, and with a life purpose report, you can save yourself some trial-and-error, which is time-consuming, frustrating and discouraging.

One person I did a report for recently, was a hard-driven career woman, but she wasn’t enjoying the journey very much and had sort of come to the end of the rope. She had not been able to find anything satisfying to her. This was manifest in digestive problems, headaches and other physical ‘messages’ from her body that what she was doing was wrong for her. Her Spiritual Life Purpose Report revealed the answers that had been hidden from her as she strove for money and prestige in the work world. When I presented her Report to her, she said, “Well this makes sense. Actually it's a relief."

Why hadn’t she discovered this on her own? With luck she might have found it eventually, but with a lot of wasted time, health, and discouragement.

This Spiritual Life Purpose Report works very well at mid-life. Why? Because you will have eliminated a lot of things that didn’t make you happy. It is easier for someone who knows what doesn’t work to be able to hear. You will be ready to hear something that will work.

Many people want this reading as they approach their second Saturn Return (around 59.5 years of age). As Saturn Report expert Nancy Fenn says, “"Your second Saturn Return is when, secretly and truly, for good or ill, every single one of your chicken’s for the last thirty years come home to roost.”

The Origins of Tarot

The Origins of Tarot
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlIPqks0Tmw

We see the same characters repeated again and again. Altered by time, but forever unaltered.

Where did the Tarot come from? Out of ancient Egypt? From 1oth century China? Indian, Islamic origins? No one knows for sure.

"The symbols come from a universal reservoir from which all cultures obtain," says the video.

Meaning of the name?

Egypt - tar rot - royal road
torah - Hebrew?
The Tarot river in northern Italy (one of the places where the cards first appeared)?

Don't miss this beautifully done video about the Origins of Tarot.

Whatever the origins, now is a good time for a Tarot reading.
