Popstar The Weeknd was born with a tight conjunction of Venus and Saturn. Venus is the archetype of love, pleasure and art. Saturn is the archetype of negation, restriction and the tests of time.

Of the spiritual offerings available today, the movement of nonduality is becoming more and more popular. Nonduality says that all of the divisions we perceive, such as the division between you and me, between this object and that object, between now and then, are ultimately illusions.
