“What’s my Saturn Return?”
“It’s a three-year astrological state that occurs every 28 to 31 years when Saturn returns to its original position in the natal chart. People experiencing a Saturn Return feel lost, stymied, or in such terrible flux that their lives seem out of control,” Felicia said, reading off the notes she took during her conversation with Tessa. “Saturn is associated with some pretty tough stuff — discipline, caution, wisdom gained through hard work, sorrow, loneliness, depression, fear, and inadequacy.”
“So what does this have to do with me?”
“Old world astrologers called Saturn ‘Great Malefic,’ meaning ill-willed. But Tessa calls Saturn the Great Teacher because it helps us come to grips with our deepest fears, and if we face these fears head-on, we emerge from this period of life stronger and more enlightened.”
“Come on, Felicia. How does anyone know whether I’m experiencing this ‘Saturn Return’?” Adam asked skeptically.
“Well, Tessa could read your aura when I described you to her. Tessa says that Saturn’s major influence in one’s lifetime occurs about every 29 years and lasts for about three years. That puts you in it. She also says that you know where you want to be, but you don’t know how to get there. Is that true?”
“No…no…I’m about to be a junior partner here.”
“How about the law? Tessa says you hate it. Is that true? Don’t you like it here?”
“Okay…we’re done with this ridiculous topic. Please let me get back to work,” Adam begged.
“I knew it! Tessa was so right about you,” Felicia teased. “See, you are in it. Saturn Return is the end of a major life cycle and the beginning of great re-evaluation, changes and endings. She says that you must use this time to reappraise your life, whether it be in relationships, career, residence, or family.”
