Pix’s Saturn Return Survival Guide
WHAT IS A SATURN RETURN AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
The Saturn Return is a significant astrological event that occurs approximately every 27-30 years, marking the completion of one full orbit of Saturn around the sun in relation to an individual's birth chart. Your Saturn Return is considered to be a time of growth, maturity, and transformation, where individuals are faced with challenges and obstacles that force them to reassess their life, responsibilities, and priorities.
Your Saturn return is technically the entire time transiting Saturn moves through the same sign as your natal Saturn in your birth chart. The exact moment of your Saturn return occurs when transiting Saturn is at the same degree as your natal Saturn. The start of your Saturn return can vary based on Saturn's retrograde periods.
Society places a significant emphasis on reaching 30 years old, marking a shift towards a more serious and mature stage of life. Feeling 30 looming can bring about a sense of pressure and a sense of urgency to assess one's life and make important decisions about their future.
It can also be a time for introspection and reflection, as individuals are faced with the realities of their choices and their life path. The onset of aging, including the appearance of gray hair, serves as a reminder of the passing of time and the expectations that come with it, such as having a stable home, foundation, or family.
However, true maturity is achieved through successfully navigating the challenges and trials posed by Saturn during its return, which asks the following questions:
Is the foundation of your life stable and secure?
Are you staying true to your values and authentic self?
Are you capable of shouldering the responsibilities you seek to build for yourself?
The Saturn Return represents a turning point in an individual's life and can bring about significant changes and personal development. It is believed to be a time of maturation, where one must take on greater responsibilities, face their fears and limitations, and make important decisions about their future.
Embracing the Saturn return can be a life-changing experience that helps to shape the course of your life for the better. By facing the challenges posed by Saturn and answering the questions it asks, you can gain a deeper understanding of your own strengths and limitations, build a stronger foundation for your future, and achieve a sense of true maturity and purpose.

COMMON CHALLENGES OF A SATURN RETURN
The Saturn Return can bring a lot of challenges, and it's not uncommon for people to feel lost or uncertain about their direction in life during this time. The sense of pressure and urgency to reassess one's life and make important decisions can be overwhelming and lead to feelings of self-doubt and insecurity.

During this period, individuals may be required to put in extra effort, discipline, and hard work in order to build a solid foundation for their future and make their dreams a reality.
It's not surprising that the challenges brought on by the Saturn Return can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. The pressure to make important decisions, the fear of making the wrong choices, and the sense of uncertainty can all contribute to increased levels of stress and anxiety.

CALCULATING THE IMPACT OF YOUR SATURN RETURN
Calculating the effects of your Saturn Return can provide valuable insight into the areas of your life that are likely to be impacted and the challenges you may face during this time. This information can help you prepare for the changes ahead and make informed decisions about your future. In this section, we will discuss the methods for calculating the effects of your Saturn Return and what to expect during this time.
1. Consider your sect light - Were you born during the day, or the night?
The term "sect" in astrology refers to the classification of a birth chart based on the time of day the individual was born. If the birth took place during daylight hours, it is considered a "day chart". On the other hand, if the birth occurred at nighttime, it is considered a "night chart". If the Sun is above the horizon, the chart is deemed a day chart. If the Sun is below the horizon, the chart is considered a night chart.
A "sect light" refers to either the Sun or the Moon, depending on whether the individual is born during the day or at night. The Sun is considered the "day sect light" and the Moon is considered the "night sect light."
In a day chart, the Sun is more prominent, and Jupiter is considered to be the "benefic" of the sect, meaning it has a positive influence and is associated with luck, wealth, and abundance. Mars, on the other hand, is considered to be the out-of-sect "malefic", meaning it has a negative influence and is associated with conflict, violence, and war.
In a night chart, the Moon is more prominent, and Venus is considered to be the "benefic" of the sect, meaning it has a positive influence and is associated with love, beauty, and harmony. Saturn, on the other hand, is considered to be the out-of-sect "malefic", meaning it has a negative influence and is associated with restriction, discipline, and limitations. I think you see where I'm headed with this - those with day charts may have a slight advantage during their Saturn return as Saturn is not considered their malefic-of-sect, which could potentially make the process easier for them. People with night charts may face a bit more of a challenge during their Saturn return compared to those with day charts.
But this is just one factor in the Saturn Return Soup!
2. Saturn’s Essential Dignities
In ancient astrology, "dignity" refers to the status or position of a planet in a specific sign in a birth chart. The concept of planetary dignity was used to determine the strength and influence of a planet in a birth chart and how it would influence the individual's life.
The placement of Saturn in a particular astrological sign can have a significant impact on its expression and influence. Saturn has the strongest essential dignity when it is in the sign of Capricorn or Aquarius. Saturn is also dignified in the sign of its exaltation, Libra. If Saturn is located in Capricorn, Aquarius, or Libra (aka its domicile or exaltation), it is considered to have a strong influence and its themes may be more prominent or amplified. Saturn in these signs has a bit of an advantage over other signs. This means that the individual may experience a greater manifestation of the typical Saturn themes such as responsibility, discipline, hard work, and long-term planning.
On the other hand, if Saturn is located in Cancer, Leo, or Aries (detriment or fall), its themes may be more extreme or harsh. This means that the individual may experience greater challenges in manifesting the typical Saturn themes. The individual may feel weighed down by responsibilities or may struggle with feeling a sense of purpose. In this placement, Saturn is considered to be weaker and may require more effort to express its themes effectively.
Saturn in Capricorn | Domicile
Saturn in Aquarius | Domicile
Saturn in Libra | Exaltation
Saturn in Cancer | Detriment
Saturn in Leo | Detriment
Saturn in Aries | Fall

Taurus 21°–30°
Leo 1°–10°
Libra 11°–20°
Sagittarius 21°–30°
Pisces 1°–10°
3. Saturn’s Accidental Dignity
It is commonly believed that Saturn in rulership or exaltation hold a significant position, however, their impact may not always be noticeable.
The level of influence and effectiveness is determined by accidental dignity, which indicates a planet's ability to take action.
The most prominent and impactful areas in a birth chart are considered to be the: 1st, 10th, 7th, 4th, 11th, 5th houses, in this order!
Out of these, the angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) are considered the most active and influential.
If Saturn is positioned in these houses, its presence will be felt strongly and will leave a major lasting impression. This is because the angular houses symbolize the core aspects of our lives, such as our self-expression, home life, partnerships, and career path. For most individuals, these areas form the basis of their life story.
**Side note: Essential dignity can be thought of as "capability" while accidental dignity represents "opportunity" or "circumstance". Consider the example of an employee who possesses great talent and skills but is stuck in a toxic work environment with a cruel boss and low pay. Astrologically, this scenario would reflect a technically strong planet placed in a difficult house. This does not diminish the planet's strength, but it limits its opportunities to showcase its abilities to the world. On the other hand, one could work for a prestigious and respected organization but lack the skills and ability to perform well, leading to frequent mistakes in public. This scenario would reflect a technically weak planet positioned in the 10th house. There are various permutations of strong and active planetary placements in a birth chart. A planet can be functional and strong but inactive, functional, strong, and active (the ideal situation), functional and inactive, or inactive and non-functional.
a) Saturn’s House(s): Themes and Circumstances
Your natal Saturn's house placement and the houses ruled by Saturn (Capricorn and Aquarius) all undergo changes and growth during the Saturn return. The energies of Saturn bring a focus on responsibility, structure, and hard work, and their manifestation may vary based on the specific house topics and individual's chart. Angular houses with Saturn placement are particularly active and impactful.

This can be a time of reassessing and restructuring the individual's support systems, as well as reflecting on their goals and aspirations, both on a personal and collective level.
During this period, an individual may experience challenges related to their connections and relationships, as Saturn tests the stability and strength of these bonds. This can manifest in experiences such as feeling a sense of loneliness or disconnection from their social circle, feeling like they are not receiving adequate support from their friends and allies, or experiencing conflicts or disagreements with those they considered close.
However, this can also be an opportunity to build stronger, more meaningful relationships and find fulfillment in their connection with others. Examples of specific experiences during a Saturn return in the 11th house can include:
Reevaluating and redefining one's social circles and friendships
A sense of loneliness or isolation as the individual realizes that some relationships may no longer serve their growth and personal goals
An increased focus on building and strengthening their network and connections with others, including professional connections and allies
Challenges in maintaining and balancing relationships with friends, community, and professional colleagues
A heightened sense of responsibility to use one's influence and connections for the greater good and to make a positive impact on society
A sense of purpose and motivation to work towards one's goals with the support of their community and friends
Reassessing the groups and organizations that they are involved in and whether they align with their values and beliefs.

During a Saturn return in the 12th house, an individual may experience challenges related to their sense of isolation and solitude. This house represents the unconscious mind, and during this time, Saturn may force individuals to confront hidden fears, anxieties, and traumas that have been affecting them on a subconscious level. This can be a time of introspection and self-reflection, as individuals may feel a sense of retreat or withdrawal from their normal routine and relationships.
Individuals may feel a sense of confinement, either physically or emotionally, as they are forced to confront their limitations and restrictions. Individuals may feel stuck or trapped in their current situation, and may struggle to find a way forward. It's important for individuals to find healthy ways to cope with these emotions, such as seeking support from loved ones, practicing self-care, or seeking therapy or counseling.
On the other hand, this can also be a time of spiritual growth and self-discovery, as individuals are able to gain a deeper understanding of their inner selves and connect with their unconscious mind. This can lead to a greater sense of awareness and a stronger connection with the spiritual realm. Examples of specific experiences during a Saturn return in the 12th house can include:
A need to retreat from social situations and engage in more solitary activities
Confronting challenges related to your spirituality or connection with a higher power
Struggles with hidden fears, anxieties, or psychological challenges that may have been previously repressed
Traveling solo
A period of transformation and growth through therapy, spiritual practices, or other forms of self-reflection and introspection
Difficulty with feeling "stuck" in your life or feeling like you're not making progress in areas that are important to you
A sense of marginality or feeling like you don't fit in with others, and the ability to help others
Dealing with "hidden enemies" or challenges that may not have been immediately apparent
b) Other Accidental Dignities
Having Saturn positioned in the angular houses is a significant indicator of accidental dignity. However, there are additional factors to consider when assessing the strength of Saturn’s placements:
On the Angles
If your Saturn is within 6° of one of the angles of your birth chart, such as the Ascendant (AC), Midheaven (MC), Imum Coeli (IC), or Descendant (DC), it may make the Saturn Return more prominent and impactful in your life.
Angles in astrology are the most personal and public points in the birth chart, and they represent the four corners of the chart wheel.
The Ascendant represents the self and how one presents themselves to the world, the Midheaven represents career and public reputation, the Imum Coeli represents the home and family, and the Descendant represents relationships and partnerships.
When Saturn is on one of these angles, it will be more prominent in your life and will likely have a significant impact on the areas of life represented by the angle. For example, if Saturn is on the Ascendant, it may bring challenges and growth opportunities related to self-identity, your body, and personal expression. If it is on the Midheaven, it may impact your career and public reputation. If it is on the Imum Coeli, it may impact your home and family life. If it is on the Descendant, it may impact your relationships and partnerships.
Overall, having Saturn on one of the angles during the Saturn Return can bring greater prominence and emphasis to the lessons and growth opportunities that come with this event. Much more In Your Face.
Joy
Each planet has a preferred house in the chart, known as its place of joy. Saturn finds joy in the 12th house. Generally, a planet in its joy will be in a positive state, although other astrological factors, such as the sign it is in, may still affect its influence. This could be an entirely different blog post, but overall when Saturn is in its joy in the 12th house during this event, it may bring a smoother and more harmonious experience. Saturn can easily express its own associations within the 12th house themes, such as spirituality, self-reflection, and boundaries between worlds. This can bring a greater sense of clarity and understanding to these areas of life and make it easier to deal with any challenges that may arise. With Saturn in a supportive position, one may be more likely to face their fears, overcome obstacles, and find inner peace during this transformative time.
Saturn’s Direction - is it retrograde?
To identify a retrograde planet: on your chart look for the symbol with a small loop or "R” or “Rx” next to it, indicating that the planet is in retrograde motion. If there is a "S" symbol, this indicates that Saturn is "stationing", meaning it is temporarily stopping before it changes its direction of movement, either forward or backward.
If your Saturn is retrograde in your birth chart, you can expect to experience a significant re-evaluation or reconsideration of the areas of life governed by Saturn during your Saturn Return. This is because retrograde motion often signifies a need to revisit and rework past experiences and lessons. Thus, the Saturn Return period may bring challenges and obstacles that require you to take a deeper look at your personal responsibility, commitment, and boundaries. It's possible that one pass at the lessons will not be sufficient and you may need to repeat the process multiple times :)
On the other hand, if your Saturn is stationing, either retrograde or direct, you can expect the Saturnian themes to be more prominent, loud, and intense. Stationing occurs when a planet appears to be standing still in the sky and this added focus on Saturn during this time can heighten the impact of Saturn's lessons and responsibilities.
Saturn’s Speed
Saturn's speed plays a crucial role in determining its accidental dignity and can have a significant impact on the experiences and outcomes of the Saturn Return.
If Saturn is moving quickly in a person's natal chart during the return, it can indicate a fast-paced and smooth, with a lot of changes and developments happening rapidly. In this scenario, Saturn's energies of responsibility, structure, and hard work can manifest quickly, leading to the need for quick decision-making and adaptability.
On the other hand, if Saturn is moving slowly during the return, it can indicate a more drawn-out and gradual time, with events and developments unfolding at a slower pace. In this scenario, Saturn's energies can still bring a focus on responsibility and structure, but they may not manifest as quickly.
Saturn is known to be one of the slower-moving planets in astrology. Its speed can be easily found and is listed as 2 minutes and 1 second, equivalent to 0.0336 degrees.
To determine the exact speed of your natal Saturn, one can use a planetary speed calculator or an ephemeris. An ephemeris is a table that provides the positions of celestial bodies, including Saturn, on each day at a specific time, usually midnight UT. By subtracting Saturn's position on one day from its position on the previous day, one can estimate its speed. This can then be compared to its average daily speed to determine if Saturn is moving faster or slower than normal.
For those who want to avoid manual calculations, astrological software like Solar Fire can be used to determine the speed of Saturn, as it has this functionality built-in. Working with an astrologer with the software can also get you the information.
Natal Aspects to Saturn
The nature of the aspects between Saturn and other planets will shape the manifestation of your Saturn return and the challenges and opportunities that you may encounter during this time. These formations will be triggered during the Saturn return period, providing insight into how it will unfold.
There are two ways to determine the aspects that Saturn makes:
Look at Saturn in your chart and identify which other planets are forming a square, opposition, trine, or conjunction with it. These aspects indicate the relationship between Saturn and the other planets in your chart, and therefore inform on the other themes and topics that will be involved.
Another option is to consult a table of your chart aspects and look specifically at the Saturn column. This will give you a clear and concise view of all the aspects that Saturn is making in your chart, and how they may influence the themes and experiences of your Saturn return. You can use Astro.com if you don’t know where to find one: https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi
The main aspects to concern yourself with are:
Conjunctions: When two planets are in close proximity to each other in the same sign. Saturn conjoining with another planet in your birth chart indicates that the energies of both planets are blending together, potentially heightening the influence of Saturn's themes and responsibilities.
Squares: When two planets are 90 degrees apart. They are in the same modality (cardinal, fixed, mutable). A Saturn squaring with another planet in your birth chart highlights the need for adjustments and can bring tension or challenges related to the blending of these two planet energies and house topics. This aspect can indicate a time of growth and development as you navigate the difficulties and find ways to harmonize the conflicting energies.
Oppositions: When two planets are 180 degrees apart. They are in the same modality (cardinal, fixed, mutable). A Saturn in opposition with another planet in your birth chart can bring major awareness to the two planet energies and the associated house topics. This can be a time of significant growth and transformation as you work through the opposition and find a way to live with the opposing energies.
Trines: When two planets are 120 degrees apart. They are in the same element (Fire, Air, Water, Earth). When Saturn is in a trine aspect with another planet in your birth chart, there is a supportive relationship between the two energies and the associated house topics. This can bring a sense of ease and flow to the Saturn themes in your life.
Some aspect examples include:
-
This aspect can bring difficulties in finding a balance between taking action and controlling impulses, and achieving long-term goals while maintaining control over one's actions and decisions.
Struggle with feeling frustrated or blocked in pursuing their desires and goals
Struggle to assert themselves and take action in situations where assertiveness is required, as Saturn's influence may cause them to over-think and self-restrict.
Issues with authority, power struggles
Difficulty in managing their emotions, as Saturn can inhibit emotional expression and Mars can lead to impulsive behavior and outbursts.
Through working on balancing assertiveness with discipline and responsibility, they can learn to manifest their goals and desires in a practical and grounded way.
-
This aspect can bring difficulties in finding a balance between fulfilling emotional needs and satisfying family obligations, and achieving long-term stability while maintaining control over one's emotions and behaviors.
A person with this aspect may struggle with feeling trapped in familial obligations and responsibilities, leading them to repress their emotions and desires.
On the other hand, they may struggle to assert themselves and take care of their own needs, as Saturn's influence may cause them to prioritize their responsibilities to others above their own emotional needs.
They may experience difficulty in finding comfort and security, as Saturn can bring feelings of isolation and restriction, and the Moon can lead to feelings of instability and insecurity.
Through working on balancing emotions with discipline and responsibility, they can learn to manifest stability and security in a practical and grounded way.
-
This aspect can bring difficulties in finding a balance between personal expression and fulfilling responsibilities.
A person with this aspect may struggle with feeling restricted or limited in pursuing their personal goals and desires, as Saturn's influence may cause them to over-think and self-restrict.
They may struggle with finding a sense of purpose and direction.
They may experience difficulty in asserting themselves and taking a leadership role, as Saturn can inhibit self-expression and the Sun represents our identity and leadership qualities.
Through working on balancing personal expression with discipline and responsibility, they can learn to manifest their goals and desires in a practical and grounded way, while also finding a sense of purpose and direction in life.
-
This aspect can bring stability and balance to the individual's relationships and creative expressions, as well as help them manifest their desires in a practical and grounded way.
May experience a strong sense of stability in their relationships and partnerships, as Saturn's influence helps bring a level of maturity and commitment.
May also find success in their creative pursuits, as Saturn's structure and discipline helps them turn their vision into reality.
There may be a flow with hard work and structure in their relationships and creative endeavors, leading to lasting and fulfilling connections and achievements.
This aspect can also bring a strong sense of self-worth and stability in their self-expression and material abundance, as Venus and Saturn work together to manifest their desires and values.
4. Transits to Saturn during your Saturn return
The transits happening to Saturn during your Saturn Return are also significant, just like the aspects between your natal Saturn and the rest of your natal chart.
Each Saturn in a specific zodiac sign will experience unique transits during its return, giving each Saturn return a different set of circumstances.
To determine the major transits during your Saturn return, you can:
Check each year of your Saturn return’s aspects online. For example, google "2024 astrological aspects" (my favorite is cafeastrology.com) and note any conjunctions, squares, or oppositions to Saturn from Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. These will be heightened times for your Saturn return.
You can also use astrological ephemeris tables to see the planet positions on specific dates and identify the transits to Saturn, or use astrology software to generate a birth chart and see the transits.
Consult an astrologer to get an expert interpretation of the transits happening during your Saturn return.

5. Date and Length of Saturn Return
It's important to look at:
How long your Saturn return will last
When the exact Saturn return will happen
How many passes Saturn makes over your natal Saturn due to its retrograde
The easiest way to check how long your Saturn Return will last, is to use the cheat sheet above, or google it. I know, lame. Simply google, “Saturn return in [Sign] dates”. Your Saturn return will technically last as long as Saturn is in the same sign as your natal Saturn.
It is important to note that Saturn can sometimes move out of one sign and into another during its retrograde periods. In these instances, Saturn is just temporarily exploring the qualities of the other sign and wrapping up loose ends. The Saturn return is not considered officially over until Saturn has completed all of its retrogrades and no longer moves back and forth over the boundaries of the two signs.
Another way is by checking an ephemeris: https://www.astro.com/swisseph/swepha_e.htm
1. Click on the year that Saturn (♄) is supposed to enter the same sign as your natal Saturn
2. To find the start date of your Saturn return: Find the month & date that Saturn (♄) enters 0° of the same sign as your natal Saturn
3. To find your exact Saturn return dates: Find the year, month & date that Saturn (♄) is at the same degree as your natal Saturn
4. To find the end date of your Saturn return: Find the year, month & date that Saturn (♄) exits the same sign as your natal Saturn (for good! Beware that Saturn often retrogrades out of signs and back in, so be sure you double check by looking ahead 6 months or so until Saturn is solidly in another sign)
If you have astrological software or apps like AstroGold or Timepassages: To find the dates of your exact Saturn return(s), look for the times when transiting Saturn in the outer wheel is at the same degree as your natal chart in the inner wheel.
Another option is to consult with an experienced astrologer, who can provide you with the exact timing of your Saturn return and its impact on your life. With their expertise, you can get a better understanding of the challenges and obstacles you may face during this period and how to best prepare for them.
6. BONUS: PROFECTIONS
If Saturn is the dominant "timelord" or signifier during any of the years of your Saturn Return, the effects of the return are likely to be more pronounced. This means that Saturn's energies and themes, such as responsibility, structure, and hard work, will be more prevalent in your life during this time.
The impact of the Saturn Return may also be heightened if your 5th, 6th, or 7th house is dominated by Capricorn, Aquarius, or occupied by Saturn in your natal chart.
For example, if your 5th house is dominated by Capricorn, Aquarius, or occupied by Saturn in your natal chart, turning 28 will be a significant milestone.
If your 6th house is dominated by Capricorn, Aquarius, or occupied by Saturn in your natal chart, the milestone would be at 29 years old.
And if your 7th house is dominated by Capricorn, Aquarius, or occupied by Saturn in your natal chart, the milestone would be at 30 years old.

MAGICAL TIPS - REMEDIATING SATURN
Astrological remediation involves utilizing astrological wisdom, symbols, and methods to remedy or relieve obstacles or difficulties present in a person's birth chart. Remediations can encompass various strategies, such as proposing specific rituals, gemstones, meditations, or other lucky charms to bring balance to troublesome planetary influences, or dealing with transits to reduce the impact of challenging aspects.
Saturn Remediation Ideas
1) Make a small space to honor Saturn. Saturn likes:
The colors black and gray
Basic and boring offerings that a grandpa might like - including black coffee, dark rum, tobacco - things that are plain, unseasoned or dark
Clocks, antiques, hour glasses and bones
Anything black, like obsidian, tourmaline or onyx. The Vedic system attributes blue sapphire as the prime Saturn gem, too
The number 3
2) Spend time with, volunteer, or donate to causes that benefit the elderly
3) Feed or befriend crows or cats
4) Read the book: The Greatness of Saturn: A Therapeutic Myth by Robert E. Svoboda
5) Recite the Orphic Hymn to Saturn:
ETHERIAL father, mighty Titan, hear,
Great fire of Gods and men, whom all revere:
Endu'd with various council, pure and strong,
To whom perfection and decrease belong.
Consum'd by thee all forms that hourly die,
By thee restor'd, their former place supply;
The world immense in everlasting chains,
Strong and ineffable thy pow'r contains
Father of vast eternity, divine,
O mighty Saturn, various speech is thine:
Blossom of earth and of the starry skies,
Husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wife.
Obstetric Nature, venerable root,
From which the various forms of being shoot;
No parts peculiar can thy pow'r enclose,
Diffus'd thro' all, from which the world arose,
O, best of beings, of a subtle mind,
Propitious hear to holy pray'rs inclin'd;
The sacred rites benevolent attend,
And grant a blameless life, a blessed end.
Anything done for Saturn should be done especially on Saturdays, or during Saturn’s planetary hour. Use this website: https://planetaryhours.net/ to calculate the planetary hours; or my preferred method is the TimeNomad app.
An example remediation practice could be making a Saturn altar space, lighting a black or gray candle, and leaving offerings like coffee, tobacco, or rum on the altar. Decorate the altar with antiques, bones, watches, or clocks. Leave anything black or gray on the altar space, especially black crystals. Or leave 3 of something on the altar. Call or spend time with an elderly person you know. Do something for Saturn every Saturday. Try to make friends with Crows!
BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF YOUR SATURN RETURN

IN CONCLUSION!
The Saturn Return is a significant astrological event that can bring about both challenges and opportunities for growth and transformation. Understanding the effects of Saturn Return can be aided by considering various astrological factors such as Sect, essential and accidental dignity, current transits, length, and profections. By taking a holistic approach to analyzing the Saturn Return, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of the themes and energies that are likely to be prominent during this time.
Saturn's essential and accidental dignity play a crucial role in determining the strength and impact of its transits. When Saturn is in a state of strong essential and accidental dignity, its energies tend to be more active, potent, and impactful. During the Saturn Return, significant Saturn transits can amplify the already significant events and themes that the planet brings to your life. Furthermore, Saturn profection years, which indicate the areas of life where Saturn's influence is the strongest, can also have a significant effect on the Saturn Return experience.
It is important to approach the Saturn Return with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow. With a positive attitude and a focus on self-reflection, individuals can use the Saturn Return as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery. By embracing the challenges and opportunities that the Saturn Return presents, individuals can emerge from this time stronger, wiser, and more confident in themselves and their path in life.
And that’s all, folks!
