The Saturn return is the most frequently mentioned of the planetary return transits in astrology. Too often there are vague and heavy, negative associations given with it. So it is useful to have a precise understanding of what the Saturn return is astronomically. And it is helpful to have a balanced perspective on its astrological meaning.

I. Definitions: What is the Saturn return and how long can it last?

Precise definition: Saturn’s transit back to the precise degree and minute of arc where it was when you were born.

In transit terms: Saturn conjunct natal Saturn. You will begin to experience it when it is still about 5° away. That is months or weeks before Saturn returns to its exact natal longitude (zodiac position). (There are some exceptions to this, which will get a bit technical. I’ll get to them shortly.)

The Saturn return is a transiting planet to natal planet relationship — the transit of Saturn back to the sign degree of its natal position (birth chart position).

My Saturn return was actually good.

My Cancer Saturn is conjunct my H7 ruler Mars. Just before my 29th birthday I started my first relationship. We married and had kids. Funny thing is that I started the first steps towards divorce a year ago when Saturn was opposite my natal Mars and Saturn conjunction.

Currently transit Saturn is squaring my chart ruler Taurus Venus and will square my Taurus Jupiter and Sun after that, while Uranus is also in Taurus. It has been a lovely midlife crisis so far.

Natal Saturn 22AQUA.. the Return (5° orb) begins next year, on my 29th birthday.

Saturn also rules my 7th House. By then, the "7 years ago" Saturn-square-Saturn period would been the start of my first major partnership.
