What is a Saturn Return?

A Saturn return occurs when the planet Saturn completes its orbit and returns to the exact position it was in when you were born. This happens approximately every 29.5 years.

Saturn returns are considered major astrological milestones that bring profound life changes, maturity, and often challenging lessons about responsibility, boundaries, and authenticity.
