A Lesson on Saturn Returns

Events of the past 2-3 months in the United States have taken a serious turn toward a call for the government and corporations to be more fair/equal/just in the treatment of the People as a Collective - the majority. It is interesting to note that any USA birth chart set on July 4, 1776 has been experiencing its 8th Saturn Return. In any US birth chart dated 7/4/1776 Saturn is exalted at 14* Libra, the degree Saturn was transiting (conjuncting) when the budget talks broke down during the summer and the dichotomy between the Republicans and Democrats reached the widest gap yet. It seemed at that time that the People, as a Collective, lost any or all hope of the economic crisis in the country being able to be resolved by politicians who are clearly in the hands of corporations. That feeling, along with a growing world wide movement of revolution, spawned the OccupyWallStreet movement. When you think about Saturn in Libra being exalted, why would that be? Because Saturn is the judge, and an objective judge seeks what Libra emulates: equality, justice for all. When an entity has a Saturn return, it is reminded of its reponsibilities, and many times, how it's not been meeting them. Thus, this Saturn return is asking the USA to be more responsible with our power/knowledge and to seek equality/fair distribution of resources, exactly what the Occupy movement is seeking...another example of "if you don't work with the transit, it will work against you."...I use the Sibley Chart for USA and Saturn ends up in 10th house in it and squares the Sun - the Executive Branch of the government (Sun/Saturn/10th) has shirked its reponsibility in bringing those who have stolen from the People to justice - indeed, Obama has lost the respect of many of those who elected him. Saturn rules the 2nd & 3rd houses in the Sibley chart: this is all about inequality in resources (2nd) and the way business is done (3rd) - that's the areas that will be forced to change ultimately.
