Saturn Return


As a psychic I often reference Saturn Return in my readings. I think of it as 'the next step' in someone's life, whether they're willing to go along with it or not. I also combine it with numerology to see where they align.

The first two Saturn Returns (27-20) & (56-60) are the most significant because those of the ages people make major changes in their lives. I tell clients this is a time where they take a long hard look at their lives and move forward. It's the end of one chapter in their lives and the start of another. This often coincides with the Numerology charts.

Examples might include: education, changing jobs or careers, relocation, relationships - moving to the next stage or ending it, deciding on whether or not you want to have a child, and more.




In horoscopic astrology, a Saturn return is an astrological transit that occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the same ecliptic longitude that it occupied at the moment of a person's birth. While the planet may not first reach the exact location until the person is 29 or 30 years old, the influence of the Saturn return is considered to start in the person's late twenties, notably the age of 27.

Psychologically, the first Saturn return is seen as the time of reaching full adulthood, and being faced, perhaps for the first time, with adult challenges and responsibilities.

The phenomenon is described by Western astrologers as influencing a person's life development at roughly 29.5 year intervals, though the planetary influence may be felt for a few years before the exact conjunction, and variable orbits of the planets can also make the time period longer or shorter. These intervals or "returns" coincide with the approximate time it takes the planet Saturn to make one orbit around the sun, roughly 29.5 years.

Western astrologers believe that, as Saturn "returns" to the degree in its orbit occupied at the time of birth, a person crosses over a major threshold and enters the next stage of life. With the first Saturn return, a person leaves youth behind and enters adulthood. With the second return, maturity. And with the third and usually final return, a person enters wise old age. These periods are estimated to occur at roughly the ages of 27-31, 56-60, and 84-90. A fourth return for those who live to see the age of 114-118 is sufficiently rare that it is not given coverage in the astrological literature.




Is Your "Saturn Return" Coming Up? Here's Why You Shouldn't Worry   IFL Science - April 11, 2023
It doesn’t seem to matter how many times astrology gets debunked - many still believe that the movements of celestial bodies billions of kilometers away can dictate events here on Earth. It may be comforting to be able to blame a planet's backwards orbit when you have a string of bad luck, or to believe that the pitfalls in your love life would be solved if only you pursued partners born in the correct month, but there’s simply no scientific evidence to back this up.

While horoscopes are still a common feature in newspapers and magazines, and you can easily look up the dates of the next few Mercury retrogrades if you want to prepare yourself for it having no impact on your life, there's another astrological phenomenon that's perhaps a bit less well known. It's all to do with the planet Saturn and its once-in-three-decades 'return'.
