For anyone who has been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, we have news: Ariana Grande has returned to the music scene with the release of eternal sunshinetheir seventh album, breaking a break of almost four years.
Thirteen songs (including an intro and an interlude) and just over half an hour long They concentrate the soloist’s work during the last few months, where we once again witness pop and R&B sounds with an Ariana much sweeter than in her previous works. And, despite the filming of Wicked and his constant attempts to mislead the press for months, we knew that (at least) Since last December he had returned to the recording studio.
A collaboration with his grandmother Nonna (which appears in the form of WhatsApp audio and closes the disk) and a remix with Mariah Carey herself from Si y?, the single with which he presented the project, are some of the surprises that we have been finding in recent weeks. But yesIf there is something that social networks have gone crazy about since the full track list was revealed, it has to do, precisely, with the fourth song on the album: Saturn Returns Interlude (in Spanish: the return of Saturn).
What does the Saturn return refer to?
But what does it refer to? If we go directly to the lyrics of the song we find some reflections from the American astrologer Diana Garland, who explains: “when we are born, Saturn is somewhere (an astrological position), and Saturn’s cycle takes about 29 years to complete. That’s when we have to get up and smell the coffee. Because if until then we have been trusting our intelligence or trusting – you know, just flowing – Saturn arrives and hits you on the head. He hits you on the head and tells you ‘WAKE UP’. Aha, it’s the moment to open your eyes in your life and discover who you really are“.
Thus, we can define the return of Saturn as an astrological phenomenon that occurs every 27-29 years when the planet returns to the same sign and sky degree as the day you were born, inviting a broad process of reflection about the direction of your life and decision making. Healing your wounds, abandoning toxic patterns of behavior and introducing changes that you have been putting off for a long time are recommendations to follow when entering this cycle.
Saturn, which in the field of astrology is the planet in charge of marking the obstacles and difficulties we go through, is responsible for “judging” us and shaking us to wake us up from living in automatic mode, waiting for things to happen. She keeps us on our toes.
When last year we witnessed the arrival of thirty great international singers (Selena Gómez, Rosalía, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lobato or Ariana Grande herself), we were able to witness important changes in her personal and professional life in the years that mark this end of cycle: separations, changes of musical representatives and the fulfillment of dreams that they had been waiting for all their lives. They have been part of the evolution of these artists, who have completed a circus, taken matters into their own hands and “started” a new path.
And you, have you listened to Ariana Grande’s latest album? eternal sunshine It is available on the market and all platforms from March 8.
