Saturn Return
Saturn the planet of restriction and limitation, it’s the planet that limits you, isolates you and is
the planet that indicates what is your karma and mission in life. Most astrologers defend that a
person is not yet an adult until he or she has gone through a Saturn Return.
What does a Saturn return mean?
At the exact moment that you were born the sign which Saturn was, will define your Saturn
Return.
So, for example, if you were born in 1993 your Saturn is in Aquarius and your Saturn return will
take place soon (2020-2023). Saturn is a very slow planet and takes about two years to transit
to another sign. Saturn is known for being the God, Father of Karma.
This planet will teach you your lesson, it will slow down processes and perhaps even make you
lose things suddenly. A Saturn return usually takes place at the age of 28 to 30 years of age.
To have more details on your Saturn and the aspects we highly suggest that you look at your
Natal Chart.
Before a Saturn Return, wherever Saturn is placed you will feel restricted and fear the subjects
related to the house where it is placed in your natal chart.
During a Saturn return, you will gain maturity. Saturn forces you to start thinking about your
result of life. During this period, you will find the answers to most of your questions through
hard lessons. This allows you to think about what your mission in life is, and about what you’ve
accomplished so far.
Saturn Return can have a minimal effect if it is very well placed (for e.g in Aquarius or any other
sign of which it likes) along with Venus and or Jupiter (planet of love and material and planet of
positivity), creating positive outcomes without delays and providing many material goods.
If Saturn is retrograded, this means that your karmic lesson is an outcome of the previous life
decisions. In other words, it means that in the past you’ve resisted co-operating in what needed
to be changed.
Since this is baggage from the past, and if you cooperate, the events in your life will not be as
delayed.
Most people associate Saturn to punishment, but truth be told, that is not the case. Saturn
forces self-discipline. It’s that father that will teach his child how to live on his or her own
without needing anyone’s help. It will teach you how to live with just yourself and to let go of
co-dependency, as well as having patience and accepting the Universe’s plans.
If you accept Saturn’s role and cooperate you will achieve the final prize.
The sign where Saturn is placed in your natal chart will indicate your karma, as well as, the
house it is placed in.
