Saturn in Scorpio
Birthday: 19 May

I am currently in the middle of my first Saturn return. Having been a keen observer of astrology for some years, I started becoming aware of some great changes taking place in my life some time prior my first Saturn return was due to start, so I figured I was somewhat prepared for this pivotal time in human development.

I was born in northern Finland. Ever since being a young girl I used to dream of an escape from the conservative small town that is my home. Such an escape came when I finished comprehensive school and was about to pursue college education, as I was granted an entry to one of the few private colleges in Finland, a day's train journey from my home town. It was a college specialising in expressive arts, and I was over the moon to be following my dream to become an actress.

Searching for Fernando - A Story about the Saturn Return

Jose - Mexico 2006

I am an astrologer and helping a man I met in Mexico make it through his first Saturn Return was much more painful than my own.

I wanted to help people understand what the Saturn Return is all about. During my own Saturn Return I got no help. I remember being desperate for answers, this was before the Internet. What I would have given for just ONE website to explain to me what was happening.

My story www.searchingforfernando.wordpress.com is incredible and unbelievable... yet every word is true.

Sincerely, Kristine Aguilar

Saturn Cycle: Saturn Return in Scorpio (Saturn is also conjunct Pluto and opposing Venus)
Born: 1983

The day that my Saturn Return was exact, was the day I fled my home and moved into a domestic violence safe house with my three children. I was 29.

I always thought my Saturn Return would be easy or straightforward for me. After all, I was familiar with astrology, had a healthy relationship with Saturn and with my own father (I thought) whom I admired.

Yes, my marriage was falling apart, but I was in denial about it. After all, the number one most important thing to me in my whole life was that my children would grow up in an unbroken, intact family, with both their parents-- something I had always wished I had experienced for myself.

I'm 28 and I've just come to the realisation over the past mammoth few weeks, that yep... my Saturn Return in Scorpio has come, and it is demanding quite a grand welcoming.

Its been grotesque in all its glory. At first I didn't cotton on to what was happening to me. I was feeling tremendous amounts of torment and guilt from past mistakes I made. I thought I was feeling this way because I couldn't bare to live with the guilt and shame, so instead I offered up my honesty of past mistakes to the person I love the most and that just created a new world of pain, torment and guilt that came flooding my way.

I'm currently going through my first Saturn Return and I find the coincidences fascinating.

I started my own business recently; the road is quite bumpy to say the least, but I'm willing to give myself a chance to make a living from what I'm really good at. Risky.

Making Peace With My Saturn Return

If there is one thing I wish I knew four years ago, it is the phenomenon of the Saturn Return. It all began with a car crash and slowly every area of my life got sucked into a downward spiral.

If I knew such a thing as a Saturn Return existed, I would have been better prepared for it.

Death of the Old Ways
When it began I saw everything I had built start to disintegrate. I had to make some hard choices. I took a hard hit when it came to finances, career and friendships.

Since my Saturn Return began I was living with high anxiety, fear, low self-worth, regret and many negative feelings.

I thought I'd never say this after reading all the negative things about a first Saturn Return, but I'm loving it so far!

I'm currently undergoing a few wicked transits that would make anybody shudder: I have transiting Saturn coming over my natal Pluto, Saturn AND Midheaven. Natal Saturn is in the 10th, with both it and Pluto conjunct my Midheaven.

My natal Saturn is at 0° Scorpio. Saturn is about to enter Scorpio. As I write this, I am roughly a two and a half days away from Saturn making its exact conjunction, and part of me wonders if that means my life is about to fall apart.

Next week is my birthday and I'm turning 27 years old. I have to be honest and say I'm not looking forward to it. For the past 26 years of my life things haven't panned out the way I had hoped. I graduated from college, but I'm deep in debt. I'm also unemployed and still living at home.

It gets awkward when family or acquaintances ask me, "Well what are you doing now?" or "Are you working?" Whenever I'm faced with those questions I want to crawl under a rock.

Coming to the end of my Saturn Return in Libra now... It has been very hard for me because I was so out of touch with my authentic self before this happened that I had much work to do indeed.

Personal relationships have all completely changed. I had some tough lessons in booting people out of my life who were taking but not giving, not respecting me or using me.

I have done a heck of a lot of therapy related to my childhood and relationships with my family and also during this time I decided to be single for the first time in my life after recognizing a pattern of controlling, unsatisfying or abusive relationships.

The Saturn Return - Time to Get Real

I am excited to announce the launch of our new Guest Writer series - featuring articles on the Saturn Return by professional astrologers. Thank you for enriching our community - Sunrise

by Anne Whitaker

Using cycles, the planets symbolically weave the story of our collective and personal lives through space and time. These cycles vary enormously: from the tiny 29.5 day dance of the Sun and Moon, to the vast epoch-defining cycle of Neptune and Pluto - meeting only once every five hundred years. The planetary cycle which has most penetrated the popular imagination, however, is the 29-30 year cycle of Saturn, commonly known as the Saturn Return.

How many Returns?

In a long lifetime, you may have three Saturn Returns: one at 29/30, another at 59/60 and a third at 89/90. The first one, however, is arguably the most crucial and the one which most concerns us for now. But any Saturn Returners going through their Second and Third Returns are most welcome to read this article – and send us their feedback!

Everything is different.

Double Dose of Saturn

Hello, I have a Libra Sun but I was born with Saturn in Scorpio, so instead of having two and a half years of Saturn's medicine, I'm preparing for having 5 years of it.

I got married just before Saturn entered in Libra in 2009. It was like I was yearning for love and discipline before I met him. I moved from my country to his, without knowing how to speak his language, without diplomas - which would allow me to search for as good a job as I had before - and I said goodbye to my family and friends.

In early 2009 I fell pregnant for a third time. I'd been with my abusive husband for 12 years and though I love my first two dearly this third pregnancy made me realise I didn't want my husband and his controlling ways anymore.

Had to get out and this new baby was a scary development. Sadly I miscarried and my husband blamed me - said my negativity caused the loss.

It was then that I relished that I no longer loved him, he was cruel, heartless, mean and needy all in one.

I’m a 29-year-old with Saturn in Libra. I mysteriously came across a website earlier this year about the return of Saturn. I’ve never heard anything about the return of Saturn but once I read what it meant, everything that had and was transpiring in my life all of a sudden made sense.

I ended a five year relationship this year. It was an extremely difficult and painful thing to do, it still is. I knew that I had to end it because it was a very imbalanced relationship.

Saturn Return in Libra - Progress Report

2012-05-24T20:51:00.000+02:00

For all the current Saturn Return initiates currently experiencing their Return under the sign of Libra - remind yourself that you have almost "graduated" from this intense learning period.

Saturn entered Libra for the first time in October 2009 and leaves for good in October 2012, not to return again for another 29 years.

Saturn went retrograde in Libra in January, for a final sweep out and transformation of the relational patterns that you are trying to balance in a healthier way. By now, you might have gone on to a new phase in your relationships after some tough lessons, or you are busy considering this and could implement your decisions before Saturn goes direct in June.

Divorce, marriage, love triangles, indecision, self-respect, financial stability, health revolutions, creative conundrums.

How are you?

Welcome to Love your Saturn Return!

This newly launched community serves as a meeting ground for all those who are going through or who have gone through the major life passage known as the Saturn Return in astrology, occurring for the first time around 28/29 years old and then again from around 59 - 63 years of age.

The first one is also referred to as 'Turning 30' and all the events and emotions that take place around this time. It is a time of taking stock, coming face to face with the passing of time and ageing, and making big changes that allow you express yourself more authentically and take on enriching responsibilities.

So let's get started with a spot of FAQ.

Bittersweet Saturn Return - Building a Foundation

2012-04-23T19:46:00.000+02:00

by Hannah

It seems that Saturn was finishing his tour in my sign, Libra, when I was born (1982). I am finding my Saturn return bittersweet to say the least.

In the last year, I have moved to another part of the country, changed jobs, and started a new relationship. Great and not so great things have gone along with most of this. However, I do feel like I am finally building a foundation and seeing clearly what I really want for my life and being able to identify values, ideals and directions that are actually important to me.

But it isn't easy. At all. The hardest part is the insecurity and having to see some things about myself honestly for the first time. Again, for the good and bad. Please tell me it gets better!

Moved half-way across the world to be with my love of 2 years

2012-04-22T17:24:00.000+02:00

by Julie
I've got my sun in Saggitarius, so I jumped on the opportunity to travel half-way around the world with my love of 2 years. When I got there and we moved in together, it became clear really quickly that this relationship was way out of balance and that I was not going to be happy in the long-term.

I felt like I was constantly sacrificing myself in the relationship and had become so down on myself because he was always down on me. When he moved again, half-way across the world, I was able to say no thanks, let's part ways and live our separate lives.
