If you’re a glutton for political punishment you may want to watch a video of Ronald Reagan’s Second Inauguration on January 21, 1985 (the 20th was on a Sunday) on YouTube or perhaps go so far as to read about it on Wikipedia.

In this post, I’ll look briefly at the past Saturn in Sag period to give us a handle on this one. Then in later posts will delve deeper into the psychological and the personal, including Saturn Returns and the Seven-and-a-half. Saturn in Sagittarius 23 Dec 2014 – 15 June 2015 18 Sep 2015 – 20 Dec 2017 Saturn is stationing around 5° Sagittarius & turns Rx on March 14 By tradition, […]
