What is a Saturn return?
Saturn is the planet of structure, discipline, time and maturity. Every 29.5 years it returns to its exact birth position, and astrologers see this as one of life's great turning points — the moment you're asked to grow up, take responsibility and build a life that's truly yours.
The first Saturn return (around ages 28–31) often coincides with major decisions about career, relationships and identity. The second(around 57–60) brings a reckoning with legacy and wisdom. They can feel heavy while you're in them, but most people emerge more grounded and self-defined.
