I knew a girl in college, we didn't click, then reconnected online during my Saturn return...which was also her Saturn return, a few months after mine.

We didn't feel like we had anything in common when we first met (almost ten years before that Saturn return). Then I learned that she had written a book about some hardships she had endured, her email was in the alumni magazine, so I wrote to say Congratulations on the book, and we bonded over hardship. My father was dying and she had recently gotten divorced, amongst other things. Now, she is a professional counselor (she wasn't then) and she regards me as somewhat of an amateur counselor, because I'm open to hearing about everything (she has said this several times, I'm not just flattering myself.)

Interestingly, the transiting nodes when we reconnected, during our Saturn returns, were in Pisces-Virgo, the sign of my moon and her moon. So perhaps that's a clue about what kind of people you will interact with.

Also her sun is natally conjunct Saturn, and I'm a Capricorn...fitting for two Saturn types to converge during a Saturn return, I suppose.

Lessons being learned: grace under pressure...happiness during adversity...putting things in context, including astrological context.
