Saturn Return Lessons + Blessings
According to The Astro Twins, your Saturn Return is a cosmic right of passage.
It's a return to the sign that the planet Saturn was in when you were born. You can find your sign here to see when your return is. Saturn has been in Aquarius since March 2020, which began at the beginning of the pandemic. The sign is shifting into Pisces, where it will be for another 3 years. Saturn is the planet of responsibility and karma. It rules the government and rules + regulations. Aquarius is the sign of rebellion, innovation, and collective — it coincided with the shifts of our society during this time, while Pisces is the sign of creativity, dreaming, and intuition. Unlike Aquarius, Pisces is the opposite of Saturn’s more rigid energy. It’s flowier and allows us to dream big, but there is also more room for escapism and fantasy. On March 7th, Saturn will officially move into Pisces until February 13th, 2026.
Saturn Returns happen when you're about 28/29-30. Mine began at 27 and taught me so much. I have learned and grown so much from this experience. While this shift affects people who have Saturn in Pisces, it’s impacting all of us. Whether you are graduating from yours or just about to embark on it, read how it affects everyone differently.
If you are ending yours, congrats! Take this time to reflect on the last 3 years and what you have learned. We are never given something we cannot handle, and our timing is always aligned. When we realize that these lessons are blessings that help us grow, we can shift the narrative from things happening to us to them happening for us. If you are about to enter your return, don’t worry. This time will allow you to evolve and expand into the most authentic self that you were brought here to be.
Another thing to pay attention to is which house it’s ruling. While people with the same Saturn Return sign will all experience significant changes and growth, it impacts everyone differently based on the house.
My Saturn Return in Aquarius was in my 7th house (house of relationships and partnerships)
Some major things have happened in this area of my life over the last 3 years. The week Saturn entered Aquarius in 2020, I got engaged to my H.S. Sweetheart. While he was not going through his return, this affected me and our relationship. I changed from becoming a girlfriend to someone’s wife within a year. (We got married on August 7, 2021). We signified a long-term relationship and shifted our dynamic into something more impactful and responsible. Many people I know got married that year too. But something else happened around the same time I got engaged; I was also shifting my relationships/partnerships in my career sector.
I had gone from a solopreneur working with multiple one-off clients to a soulpreneur creating more impact. I had been hustling in my business until I leaned into more flow and intention. Over the two years of Covid and my return, I was co-creating and building another brand while neglecting my own needs and the brand I had built over the years. I relied on others’ opinions and skills and minimized my magic. Business can be complicated, and entrepreneurship is a spiritual journey and awakening. It teaches you lessons about yourself and your resilience. It’s been an ebb and flow of trial and error, experimenting, collaborating, rebranding myself, and re-igniting my power. I'm not saying that you have to work alone and can't ask for help, but I have learned to get more precise about what and who I am calling in, while also not dimming my light or giving my power to others. While also reminding myself what I seek in others is available within myself.
My Saturn Return ends on the 3rd anniversary of getting engaged to my now Husband. Our relationship has shifted and grown so much over the last few years - as I learn more about myself and honor my own needs and as we begin to build our life and family.
