#390: Saturn Returns: Your Tool for Deeper Transformation

Saturn Return

Caggie Dunlop introduces the concept of Saturn Return, a significant astrological phase occurring in one's late twenties to early thirties. This period marks Saturn's return to its original position in the sky at the time of one's birth, bringing with it profound life lessons centered around identity, purpose, and responsibility. Caggie shares her personal experience of feeling isolated and confused during her Saturn Return, which inspired her to help others navigate this challenging time.

So for those that might not be familiar, your Saturn return happens in your late twenties, into your early thirties as Saturn returns to the same place in the sky it was when you were born. And with it, it brings this initiation into adulthood.

Astrology's Role

Saturn Return is deeply intertwined with astrology, serving as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. Caggie Dunlop explains that this period often involves breaking down existing structures to rebuild on more authentic foundations. While some may fear the upheaval it brings, Saturn Return ultimately encourages individuals to shed societal roles and embrace their true identities.

Yeah, and I think a lot of people become a bit fearful about their Saturn return because, you know, it does have this association to break everything down.
