It's enough to make a believer out of you :-) Two Saturn Return films are coming out this winter: Finding Neverland and The Kinsey Report. Why are they Saturn Return movies?

Finding Neverland is about the author of Peter Pan, Sir James Barrie. He was born 5 Saturn Returns ago in 1860 with his Saturn in Leo.

This gives us a view of the inner working of the universe. At Saturn Returns events comes up for review just like the checkpoints people have in their own lives at 28-30 and 58-60. In a sense Sir James is experiencing a Return as people continue to learn from his life and workl. This also means that Sir James Barrie will be of special interest to those with Saturn in Leo throughout the ages.

Here's an interesting footnote from Barrie's life. Don't know if it's in the movie or not.

The power of the subconscious mind: [From Great Ormond Street Children's Charity] "For the first six years of his life, James [Barrie] lived in the shadow of his mother’s love for his older brother David. Tragically, on the eve of his 14th birthday, David was gravely injured in a skating accident and died shortly afterwards. While his mother derived some consolation from the notion that David would remain a boy forever, Barrie drew inspiration. In his desperate attempt to be loved and to replace David in his mother’s life, Barrie virtually became David.

"Trying so hard to be his brother stunted his own development – coincidentally at the same age at which his brother had died. At 14– and only five foot high – he stopped growing and never grew any taller."

The Kinsey Report came out in 1946 and is experiencing its third Saturn Return, just like Robert McNamara. If you were born in the 1960s or later, it may be hard for you to imagine the impact of this report by zoologist Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Its effects are still reverberating and apparently it's time for another look.
