What exactly is a Saturn Return?
Saturn has an orbit of almost 30 years, so between 29-30, and again around age 59-60, Saturn returns to where it was at their birth. This is a major one of life’s passages, intimately connected with becoming more mature. Saturn is the symbol of structure, form, and therefore limitation and responsibility. It symbolically defines us personally and socially. It is time to take responsibility for your life and realize you can no longer blame others or circumstances for things that don’t go right. It is a time of major self-examination…..asking yourself “why did I listen to this persons advice?”, “why didn’t I listen?” The first Saturn Return is a time of passage from youth to adulthood, although society calls us adults at a much younger age. The second Saturn Return is a time to enter sagehood, although not everyone reaps wisdom from age.
