Women of the world donned their Manolos and raised their Cosmos high last Sunday night in honor of the fabulousness that was SATC. Devastated, I am, to see it go, but like the ladies, I understand that all good things must come to an end. Sarah Jessica Parker is one smart cookie -- she understands the meaning of time. (With her moon in Capricorn, the sign of Saturn, it's no wonder.) A sassy, kick-ass Aries chick, SJP brought the series to a close in exactly one cycle of Saturn. She knew instinctively that staying any longer at the party would wear the welcome thin.

Alas, I will miss my ladies. Appropriately, they left us longing for more during Saturn's transit through Cancer, calling the role of women in society to our attention in a BIG way.

Why now, Ralph, when everything is at stake?

As always, Nader makes some excellent points about the current state of affairs in the US, but even old-school progressives question his motivations.

Nader was born with a scrappy, revolutionary Aquarius rising and Saturn in Aquarius in his first house of ego, making him pugilistic and in-your-face. He says what he wants when he wants to, so there. And now Uranus, his ruler, is making him, umm, a little bit crazy in the next few months. Also, I am worried about his health (his heart, in particular.)

Perhaps Bush and Co. are funding his campaign. Let's just hope that the stars allow him to come to his senses before the election.

As predicted on January 14th in this space, the demise of the Deanster has come to pass. The romance ended swiftly and firmly, but alas, a second wind might just loft devastated Deaniacs from their period of mourning. Dean's difficult Saturn transit ends early in May, and its last pass may be a triumphant one. Although his presidential bid is now over, watch for his return to public stature in the coming months. He might just win some more delegates and wield some influence when it comes to convention time. Saturn willing.

Our take on Nipplegate:

Janet Jackson's publicity stunt is right on Saturn's time. Cancer, the sign in which the Cosmic Taskmaster now resides, rules the breasts. So flashing her assets, even with those hideous starfish pasties, was nothing if not timely.

Watch out for more bosom-baring antics between now and the summer of 2005.
