Phases & Movements

What is the Saturn return?

The "graduation" into adult life that happens around ages 28 to 30.

What it means

The planet Saturn takes almost 30 years to make a full trip around the Sun. When it returns to the same place it was when you were born, we have the Saturn Return.

What it means in astrology

It is the moment when life asks you: "Are you happy with the path you chose?" It is a time when we take on real responsibilities, change careers or leave behind what no longer makes sense.

Example

At 29, Rodrigo quit a job he could not stand anymore and finally opened his artisan bakery, taking the lead on his own dream.

Quick tip

The Saturn Return is not a punishment; it is life helping you build solid things.
