As the New Year kicked off, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy urged for cancer warnings on alcohol, highlighting its role as the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S.
This shift aligns with the growing "sober curious" movement we reported on last year, tied to Saturn-Neptune world transits.
Saturn represents discipline and sobriety, while Neptune signifies escapism and addiction.
This planetary alignment fosters themes of spiritual discipline and collective renunciation—perfectly timed with the increasing scrutiny of alcohol.
We are likely to witness the unfolding of this trend as the Saturn-Neptune conjunction (0º) continues its transit until 2027.
