Pictures were recently released of Amy Winehouse sporting thinning hair and the beginnings of a bald spot. Amy is a Virgo, and Saturn is presently transiting her sign, bringing on more than it’s fair share of life’s added stresses. When Saturn is transitting one’s sign, special attention must be paid to the hair and bones.

Saturn has been transitting Virgo since late summer of last year and will remain there until autumn of 2009. Saturn’s transit of one’s sun sign, or first house, can bring a tremendous amount of responsibilities and burdens. Moreover, Saturn is making stressful aspects to not only her Sun, but her Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter, Moon, and Neptune. When Saturn comes along all freerides stop, and people are forced to grow up and act more maturely. Saturn doesn’t leave a lot of time for fun.

The past year has seen a visible deterioration in Amy’s personal life and outward appearance. Drug problems, arrests, the incarceration of her husband, record deals that have fallen through: the difficulties have come fast and furious. The harshness of Saturn can at times be relentless.

Now to her hair: Saturn rules the hair and bones. When Saturn is transiting your sign, you must pay particular attention to these areas. Thinning, lifeless or balding hair, unhealthy nails, as well as broken bones are all ways Saturn can manifest itself. If you are a Virgo, pay particular attention to your diet at this time to ward off these problems, which may arise especially as a result of stress. You should also try to treat your hair well, and stay away from over-processing, extensions, or other hairdos that put unneeded stress on your roots.

As handy as a pouffy coif can be for a girl (see video above), you Virgos may want to find another place for your stash, at least for the next year or so.
