In this lecture Jessica discusses the USA’s Saturn Return, one of the aspects of the Cardinal Cross being experienced countrywide. She describes the nature of this transit as an identity crisis that affects all individuals and group entities older than the age of thirty, and outlines the specific difficulties the USA is having. Saturn governs aging and maturation, and has to do with learning the lessons of Time. These include deferred gratification, enduring scarcity, and allowing for future contingencies. Individuals who have the planet strongly placed in their natal charts, and all who are old enough to have experienced their own Saturn Returns, will find this in-depth discussion especially helpful.
