In the last five years before 2000, the years of divorcing a diagnosed narcissist, started my own company, supported my special needs child and her sibblings, and then in exhaustion, I left the country for my safety, and began a life I had planned prior to this horrible marriage. This move in 2000 cost me a lot -- the relationships with my children. And it gave me time to recover from a Lupus collapse, to regain self and to re-define myself by completing a long-held dream to serve community in a international setting among those in need. Eventually I returned to the US, broke, and began a third career and to live and love again. 5 very transformative years.

Wow, what a transformative period in your life, C! I am rooting for this transition to be far gentler, especially since I can imagine that all the juggling you did gave you lots of tools to navigate change and redefine your life.

Thanks, Hannah! I really like it, and yet when I see it now, I see how I am still her and not her in the sense that I've rid myself of much of the pain she carried.

I relate to that for sure Lisa. The ways in which I am still her and not her💜💜💜

How often does the Saturn in Aries come around? Is it every 28-25 years for four years? I'm just wondering, if for older people if there are other times that could give them a reference.

Hi K! Saturn enters Aries every 28 - 30 years. So, depending on your age, it would've Saturn would've been in Aries during the late 1990s (like 1997- 2000) and also in the late 1960s - early 1970s.

Your beauty, feathered bangs, and soft peach cable sweater belie the turmoil inside. So many major, generation defining planetary shifts this year, and so very much in the sign of Aries. It's a potent time of transition and reclaiming personal power with the obstinance of the ram. I appreciate this reframe!

Yes, it's a very potent time, Shoshana! While I know deep down it's all for the highest good, boy have I had to buckle up. I love how you talk about astrology in your newsletter! It's incredibly helpful.
