The Saturn Returns: An amazing astrological phenomenon

The Saturn Return is an astrological event when the planet Saturn in transit comes back to meet your natal Saturn in your horoscope. Saturn is the slowest moving planet in astrology and takes about 29.5 years to complete one cycle of the entire zodiac.

This is also the duration taken by Saturn to come and hug your natal Saturn. The Saturn return smashes a chart in late 20s and its impact is felt into the early 30s. Then again after almost 30 years i.e. between the age of 57-60 in comes to touch the important aspect of your life. If you are blessed with long life there are chances you are hit by this karmic planet thrice in your life.

Saturn is considered a planet of karma in astrology. It judges our karmas or deeds and punishes or rewards us accordingly. Every 30 years it comes to give you the fruits you have reaped through your good or bad deeds in every 30 years of karmic cycle. 

About Saturn

Saturn in Vedic astrology is all about discipline and hard work. This planet represents responsibility, hard work, discipline, restrictions, boundaries, structure, patience, and maturity — during your Saturn return, all these qualities are put to a test.

Saturn is known as the great disciplinarian in astrology, so when it completes its first full circle during one’s late twenties, stay prepared for some rude lessons to be learnt with its return — and some major growth is sure to take place.

Saturn returns turns us upside down shaking the foundation of our lives, exposing us to all of our weak points and immaturities. Your life suddenly gets messed up and you feel scary and unstable, but it is a blessing in disguise in a sense that the chaos it causes help you to see things clearly — which means you start understanding life better and tries to patch up the holes in it. You become mature enough to take the responsibility so fallen on your shoulders in a powerful way.

Time to Learn

When Saturn returns to the sign your natal Saturn is deposited in, it is an alarm or a wake-up call to us to get up and react. It wakes us up from our easy going life and brings noticeable change which affects our life to a great extent. This effect is permanent in nature and this kicks us out of our routine to indulge in something important.

Time to act real

Sometimes we make choices in life before giving much thoughts and even realizing our real selves. At the Saturn return, some of these choices are revealed to be out of sync with our true destiny. And it's a big deal, since there may be marriages and whole careers up for review.

The U.S. Census reports a peak of divorces around age 30 when promises made in the blush of youth don't match the core of either person as they approach this turning point. On the other hand, Saturn may bring a fated relationship that leads to a serious commitment with long-term potential.​
