Is your Saturn return approaching?

Or do you know someone who is about to embark on this rite of passage? 

Then this is for you. 

In simplified form, a Saturn return is when the planet Saturn lands back in the same place it was when you were born. It takes around 27 to 30 years for Saturn to travel through the zodiac, which means everyone goes through a Saturn return at the end of their 20s, 50s, and 80s. Due to Saturn’s slow speed and retrogrades, each  return lasts approximately three years.

Saturn is known as a malefic planet in astrology; it represents karma and justice. It’s associated with ethics, career, achievements in life, virtues and values. And as the planet of lived experience, it brings us face to face with reality checks! 

But contrary to popular belief, Saturn doesn’t need to be feared. 

In fact we can work with these energies constructively to develop our patience, discipline and ability to create the structure necessary to reach our goals. 

Your Saturn return is an auspicious opportunity to take stock of all of the choices you have made up to this point, and decide how you would consciously like to enter the next 29 year cycle of your life.

During your Saturn return, the Saturnian energies in your natal chart and your life will be amplified giving you a very clear picture of where you are being called to take responsibility, develop mastery and demonstrate maturity. 

Saturn transits can sometimes feel heavy, difficult and often lonely. However, the experiences present us with a chance to test our own mettle, as well as to develop a deep sense of trust in ourselves.

When you approach your Saturn return with intentionality, integration of the archetype of Saturn occurs in your consciousness and you are thus gifted with the Saturnian qualities of patience, discipline, humility, integrity and maturity; all qualities which will ultimately allow you to engage more fully and intimately with life.
