Saturn Return-My brother acting strange

[Blandy]

Okay, My brother has been acting weird since 2007, very weird. In late 2005-early 2006 he broke up with an amazing woman who was perfect for him to date some domineering skank bag, who he later broke up with, my brother was dating this girl since late 2002. He talked about marrying her, ect, but then he moved to this dumb college town, and changed everything about himself, and he's been flirting with girls who are just barely legal. He even has this myspace page, (I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but all he seems to be interested in meeting disgusting women. My brother was never like this, he was always very kind, noble and sweet. He was born in 1980 with his Saturn retrograde in Virgo, I was wondering could his Saturn return possibly have anything to do with it? It seems as if when Saturn entered Leo he became a different person. I wonder if this is him just somehow astrologically feeling a change is coming and trying to cling onto youth for dear life. I don't know, I just don't like having a pervert and a liar for a brother, I hope as soon Saturn hits 20 degrees Virgo he'll change. I also hopes he realizes he's made a mistake with his poor ex girlfriend....
Anyone have any ideas on this?....Am I just stuck with an ahole for a brother.

Well I am going through my saturn return right now!!! This can be such a trying time!! I was doing some research on Saturn transiting into Virgo, because I am hoping this will help me with some junk in my life...and it says, (correct me if I am wrong) that basically this is a time of great clarity, a time to be able to take a step back and look at the things that are going on in our lives, and that this transition will make it easier to change things about ourselves...and when you think of Virgo you think of changes in terms of health, home: like cleaning out the closet per say. If he can be open to this time he can sponge up this opportunity, because he can get rid of things in his life that are toxic. Saturn makes us look at things in our lives that are not working and this can make many feel scattered and confused. I also read that this time can make one weak, susceptible to illness, lack of energy?? But nonetheless, wherever his Virgo is placed he will need to re-evaluate that particular area of his life...or this will be an area that will need greater concentration in terms of change...
My sister right now looks at me as if I am doing some strange things in my life right now because of this astrological situation. I am so sick of her calling me up and telling me what to do and how to do things...not to say that you are doing that at all, but if she would just listen and sort of butt out per say then I think I would be able to open up to her easier. I think that if you do not agree with what your brother is doing, dont make a huge issue out of it. I know you love him, but sometimes the best guidance is just having a shoulder to lean on. Maybe if he is open to astrology you could point out what situations are taking place and it may help him to understand this crazy time and it may help him to not feel so out of place. :o

Family programming and politics and structure is a funny thing. John Bradshaw wrote a great book about it.
When someone in a family begins a new phase of life and makes changes that are obvious to others in the family, some members begin to feel uncomfortable, confused, fearful and maybe even jealous.

Saturn return can be a difficult time because it IS Saturn, after all, and Saturn is about structure, self discipline, truth, authority over the self and often change. Most of us find this can be difficult. One hint is the aspects Saturn makes in your natal chart. The more difficult Saturn is in the natal chart, the more we fight Saturn's lessons. And you can bet that Saturn is stricter than any teacher we might have had in school.

Study all about Saturn and it will be easier to deal with.
