KUDOS!

Kudos and thanks to the crew who revamped our ASC brochure over the summer! 

Gevera Bert Piedmont did a great job on the new layout which was based on a plan sketched out  by Julianne Johnson.  Janet Booth spearheaded the production process, with lots of help from Debby Vincelett, Sandy Morse, Mary Ellen Norton, Pat Peabody and Debbie Corkindale, who converted the brochure information into pages on our website.

Shelley Ackerman
America’s Eighth Saturn Return

As every astrologer knows, planet Saturn with its cycle of nearly 29-1/2 years is as relevant for a nation as it for a human being. When America was born on July 4, 1776, Saturn was in Libra in a tight square to our Cancer Sun. At our eighth Saturn Return in 2010, it will be in a T-square with Uranus and Pluto. Keywords for the eighth sign (Scorpio) and eighth house are death and rebirth and transformation. As we approach our eighth Saturn Return, these questions come to mind: Will this Saturn Return have Plutonic/Scorpionic overtones? Will it be the re-invention of America? Which karmic chickens are due to come home to roost this time around? What is the significance of Saturn in hard aspect to Uranus and Pluto in 2010? How will this transit from late 2009 to 2012 impact us individually and collectively?

Shelley Ackerman is a professional astrologer and columnist from New York City. She has appeared on Access Hollywood, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, BBC, NBC, ABC, CBS and over a thousand radio shows on numerous stations. She has written for The NY Daily News, The NY Post, Beliefnet.com and currently writes a column for the West Chester Guardian. Her website is www.karmicrelief.com.
