Astrool Saturn Return
When Saturn completes its 29.5-year orbit and returns to its place in your birth chart: a stocktake, a growing-up, and decisions built to last.
Definition
Saturn takes about 29.5 years to circle the zodiac. When it reaches the degree it occupied at your birth, you have a Saturn return, the first around ages 28–30, the second around 57–60, a third near 87. Each lasts about a year, longer if Saturn retrogrades back and forth over the point.
What it brings
The first return is often described as the real start of adulthood: careers, relationships and homes that no longer fit are restructured, and commitments made now tend to last. The second is a review of what you built and what you want to keep. Saturn rewards honesty and effort, not avoidance.
