Saturn/Neptune

By transit to a natal chart, Saturn to Neptune or Neptune to Saturn is often a health event or concern.

When Saturn in Leo opposed Neptune, there were several events involving childrens' heath. Not all of the health events were negative. Here's one example, when the opposition was about 3' from exact:

A new, cheap, easy-to-take pill to treat malaria is being introduced March 1st, the first product of an innovative partnership between an international drug company and a medical charity…In Africa, malaria kills 3,000 babies and children each day. (3/1/07)

When Saturn and Neptune were 5' apart:
Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley as a result of "roid rage". (6/24/2007)

Will Rogers
Died due to a malfunction in airplane landing on water
natal Neptune conjunct Chiron
but SR Sun=Saturn=Neptune

Saturn/Neptune contacts can actually be an indication of an attempt to stop drinking. Britney entered rehab when T.Neptune trined her N.Saturn

During past Saturn/Neptune contacts, issues concerning the health of the elderly have been in the news.

In July 2001, the House Government Reform Committee's Special Investigations Division issued a report which found that in the previous two years, over 30 percent of nursing homes in the U.S. were cited for a physical, sexual, or verbal abuse violation that had the potential to harm residents. Even more striking, the report found that nearly 10 percent of nursing homes had violations that caused actual harm to residents.

The contact sometimes corresponds to the dissolution of structures. The Berlin Wall came down during a conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Capricorn (2 degrees 15' orb).

Bridges (across water, not metaphorical bridges) seem to be symbolized by Saturn/Neptune)

There is also a correspondence with droughts and water shortages and other problems with water. But these problems also occur when there are no Saturn/Neptune contacts.
