This time of your life is known as “the Saturn return” - a time
of tremendous astrological importance. This planetary transit
occurs approximately every 29 years. First, at the age of 29,
the second around the age of 58 and the third at around 85-87.
Each of the “returns” have a special significance in your life.

The first two times that Saturn returns to its natal position in
your birthchart is a generally a time of change or upheaval...a
time of new beginnings and the dawning of maturity. The coming
few months will also be a time of testing...testing of your own
strength and willpower...and it could also represent the success-
ful culmination of many years hard work.

You’ll now have to quench an insatiable thirst for new experience
so expect changes in your lifestyle...changes perhaps in your
relationships, family life or career. Many people with this
transit find themselves in new jobs..new homes...or with new
babies! Others will throw caution to wind, sacrificing stable
and secure lifestyles to follow their dreams.

Think back over the past six months and you’ll realise that the
winds of change have gradually increased in strength - blowing
away anything that’s no longer of consequence or use to you. For
some, the losses may seem painful but in months to come you’ll
emerge a stronger, more mature and more confident individual.
It’s important not to hold onto the past - but to look and plan
for the future as you want it to be, not as others want it to be
for you.

At the age of 85, the Saturn return represents a time of wisdom
and maturity - but it could again cause upheaval and change."
