Boomers Learn How to Grow at Their Second Saturn Return
As children, you rode in cars with no seat belts or air bags.Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always aspecial treat. You drank water from the garden hose and not froma bottle. You shared one soft drink with four friends, from onebottle, and no one actually died from this. You'd leave home inthe morning and play all day, walk to school, as long as youwere back when the streetlights came on. No one was able toreach you all day. And you were OK. Besides Mom was always backhome. You only had one car.
You're a Boomer and now you're turning 60. You're going to beexperiencing your second Saturn Return.
Baby Boomers are turning sixty! So much to think about. So muchstill to learn. Yours is the generation that was conceived toheal the war weary, wounded, bereft and traumatized. Yourconception after the death of over 40,000,000 soldiers in WorldWar II symbolized a rebirth of hope in humankind. Life goes on.
Some of you were born into families in countries that werevictorious to fathers who were heroes. Other were born to mendealing with the bitterness and humiliation of defeat and lostpersonal opportunities such as educational years and jobadvancement. In all countries that participated in the Warincluding the United States, lack of essential goods continuedfor many years. Your families lived with want and hope ascompanions.
Conceived at the same time as you, the countries of India andPakistan (founded August 15, 1947 with Saturn at 13 degrees Leo)and Israel (founded May 14, 1948 with Saturn at 16 Leo) made ascontroversial appearances on the world scene as could possiblybe imagined, all three fighting for their lives from the momentof birth. Civil unrest broke out immediately between East andWest Pakistan. Hundreds of thousands were killed. A year later,India and Pakistan warred over Kashmir. Within 24 hours ofIsrael's birth, it was attacked by the combined armies of itsArab neighbors, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.
The war cry of the Baby Boomer could be, "Fight for your life!"This is because Saturn was conjunct Pluto during these years.This was the beginning of a new world order commenced when thetwo planets were partile on August 3, 1947, just days before thefounding of India and Pakistan.
These three countries are celebrating their second SaturnReturns along with Boomers. At their first Returns around 1975,Israel and the Arabs were again at war - the Yom Kippur War. InIndia, Indira Ghandi declared a state of emergency after beingfound guilty of electoral malpractice. Nearly 1,000 politicalopponents were imprisoned and a program of compulsory birthcontrol was introduced.
In Pakistan, riots erupted over allegations of vote-rigging byZulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP). General Ziaul-Haq staged a military coup and a year later, Zia wasproclaimed president. Bhutto was hanged.
The Defense Department and the CIA were created in 1946. SouthKorea was founded (August 15, 1948 Saturn at 28 degrees of Leo).At South Korea's first Saturn Return, General Park Chung-hee,who assumed power in 1961 through a military coup, wasassassinated. General Chun Doo-hwan assumed power. The followingyear, martial law was declared. In the city of Kwangju at least200 were killed by the army, causing resentment that has yet tofade. The fifth republic and new constitution resulted.
