The ‘happy daze' of the sixties through to the early nineties has evaporated, replaced by a permanent work ethic that is overbearing and unfair, at least to the majority. Yet the patterns closing now suggest that out of the struggle and effort comes a pure diamond, the capacity to be more effective and efficient than ever before - ready for the 21st century! In the early 2000's, Pluto trashed a whole bunch of people, from which they survived only by going into Limbo. Over 2007/8 Uranus dropkicked those same people out of limbo, either willingly or kicking and screaming, and over the period of October 2008 - August 2009 Saturn is testing and examining the whole of the last seven/eight years for validity and worth. It's at this time when the biggest but last hurdles are imminent that most people give up. But if you persevere and make it through to September - there will be changes in your personal circumstances that make things clearer, more defined and you will have your priorities right. From then on, the brakes are off, and a new Saturn cycle begins.
