Social values and how you play your part is paramount.

Sometimes the starting point to your goal is ambiguous to where you take time for granted.

Saturn doesnt waste energy on pointless mattersits picking on you becauseyouare.

In a world where breaking rules is the rule, Saturn plays hardball.

It gets a bad rep for being a bully and delivering the worst of circumstances.

However, this interpretation is more an attempt at fearmongering than actually seeing Saturn for what it is.

Saturn can flat out suck sometimes.

Saturn doesnt believe in participation trophies or false promises.

All while you bear the harsh consequences of not knowing then what you do now.

This is what makes a Saturn return so difficult.

Youre required to learn and do everything that you dont want to do.

Everything you dont want to do, however, is also the building blocks of your success.

As Saturn is also associated with karmic balance, wisdom, and moral duties.

Saturn is the security guard who grants entry to what you wantthe breakdown before the breakthrough.

You get what you want after youve put in the self work.

That is Saturns game.

Each of the twelve houses highlight specific themes that are activated once a planetary transit occurs.

In this case, were talking Saturn.

The chart generator you use will list out each planet and the house its in.

You will need an exact birth time to do this.

it’s possible for you to generate your birth charthere,here, orhere.

Saturn 1st House

Any issues around leadership, appearance, self-image, or self-determination are likely.

Though it can manifest a variety of ways aside from what is discussed.

Your self-control and perhaps indifference to other people can feel like a buzzkill with your individuality.

You were always expected to validate your own strengths and attributes.

Your Saturn return, therefore, will have to do with putting compassion on the forefront.

Or vice versa, youre a pushover who must grow some backbone against authority.

This especially applies to how gentle you are on yourself.

Youre exceptionally tolerant but have been conditioned to answer others expectations.

For some, it can have to do with embellishing your appearance due to harsh insults from someone else.

You must rise above the shallow expectations of other people and empower your self-autonomy.

Reinforcing the beliefs of others to maintain your position will only continue to backfire with Saturn moving forward.

Daring to be wrong can feel so right.

Dont beat yourself up over it.

People are being far more forgiving with you than you are with yourself!

Saturn 2nd House

Any issues around finances, self-worth, personal belongings, or investments are likely.

This can be monetary or your personal time and energy.

2nd house Saturn can give you the social and financial savvy necessary to be successful.

For some, this can manifest as illness or self-esteem issues.

Perhaps it has to do with money or health.

Much will change after your Saturn return.

For now, however, its best that you declutter your personal space and determine what has personal value.

Perhaps you could make some extra cash that comes in handy!

You carried a strong sense of responsibility growing up around your education, siblings, or a grandparent.

All of which are reckoned with by the time of your Saturn return.

Some with this placement relocate before their Saturn returns to experience new localities that just might offer this stimulation.

Perhaps even moving back to their hometown once your Saturn return is over.

Health issues with the lungs, nervous system, or arms might result if you dont cope accordingly.

Going back to an old way of life will not settle your feelings of inadequacy.

In better cases, its supportive parents who were limited in what resources or emotional guidance they could provide.

Even if their intentions were pure.

Saturn in the 4th house already sensitizes you to your emotional experiences and intimate space.

You develop trust issues and a certain level of detachment in close relationships.

Your Saturn return means reckoning with these feelings around unlovability and inadequacy.

Be wary of any health issues with the breasts, stomach, or back.

All while youre being asked to forgive where any family members fell short of your needs.

If possible, allow for reconciliation with family during this time.

Estrangement should only be an option if your family members arent on a similar path of healing and redemption.

If they are, forgiveness and love are antidotes to sudden or unexplained physical illness.

Otherwise, a need to build your own family will become a core focus of this transit.

Saturn 5th House

Any issues around casual romance, creativity, children, and leisure are likely.

Sideline love takes much of your time and energy with a 5th house Saturn.

Your Saturn return may come with painful lessons around how and why you fall in love.

Perhaps heartbreak empowers a new way of expressing yourself.

For others, you may find a relationship that changes your mind about marriage and children i.e.

desperately wanting children and a marriage after long periods of being the bachelor.

Depending on the birth chart, some people experience infertility or other complications that prevent them from having children.

Other mysterious health issues with the heart, back, or digestive system may present themselves.

As any unexplainable health issues will likely stem from any imbalances with your heart chakra and self-love.

Your Saturn return will discipline you to take this emotional investment in yourself and someone else more seriously.

Youll be forced to want something that feels unattainable until your emotional frequency aligns with this desire.

The 6th house Saturn can be physically hypersensitive in areas of body image and health.

Especially if youve put others over yourself, your health might temporarily pay the price.

You may find that practicing new routines that cleanse and detox put you on the path to redemption.

From intermittent fasting, changing your diet, to embracing the power of emotional therapy on your physical health.

Saturn 7th House

Any issues around serious romance, business partnerships, or general relationships are likely.

Relationships are an umbrella term for the 7th house.

However, this house deals specifically with the qualities of both people that ultimately contribute to long lasting connections.

You expect others to value your time and emotional energy the same way you do for others.

How single you feel at times can seem completely unfair to you.

Youre an incredibly dedicated partner who is often more mature than your peers.

You might humbly brag that youre quite the impressive partner!

For this reason, love seems futile until you input your Saturn return.

All of which your Saturn return just might deliver on!

Those who have taken their time might finally decide to seal the deal under this transit.

Be wary of any unexplained health issues with the kidneys, bladder, or digestive system.

This placement is mostly positive and worth the wait like people claim.

The self-sabotage will be the hardest part for you.

While love might pour into your life, you must let your guard down to accept it wholeheartedly.

You luck out on resources and opportunities to become incredibly successful and abundant.

This is mostly seen with your family, relationships, and divorces.

Perhaps you inherited your partners debt or other possessions you dont necessarily want.

For others, it can deal with child custody battles or having to take care of someone elses children.

The good news is that you also attract people that you share a deep and meaningful connection with.

Your Saturn return, therefore, is about how you establish boundaries with your personal time and resources.

For some, going back to school for a higher degree may have obstacles at first.

Though anything that happens with the 9th house is ideological in nature and ultimately deals with self-preservation.

Whether its your cultural beliefs or your radical individuality that you seek to preserve at all costs.

Usually something happens during your Saturn return that puts this part of your identity on the line.

experiencing backlash for or being directly affected by racism, sexism, ableism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, etc.

Meaning youre bound to encounter people who are much different from you along the way.

Remind yourself that people are spiteful, vindictive, and reactive as a defense mechanism.

Just because theyre too afraid to face themselves and love self loathing doesnt mean you have to.

You didnt know then what you know now.

Thats perfectly okaywhat matters is what you do from here.

Perhaps youve spent much of your life playing a role that society has constructed for you.

Striving to make a statement over effectively having an impact on others.

Your goal in life is to be the exception at whatever you do and create your own legacy.

Any event that destroys the foundations of what conditioned you growing up is the hallmark of your Saturn return.

As the 4th house of family, home life, and upbringing are opposite of the 10th house.

Youre now ready for others to take you seriously.

Claiming your own destiny and representing yourself as everything you want to and should be.

Complacency is the enemy with this Saturn placement.

Saturn, nonetheless, is here to deliver a tough lesson on why this way of thinking is flawed.

You know youre bright with impressive ideas.

Then again, you only see things as blessed and that it could be worse.

Saturn knows the only way of getting to you is through your values.

First, however, you must learn the power of collaboration and organization.

Nothing is ever as it seems for you.

You see rules as a means of protection rather than restriction until falling victim to your own naive optimism.

Youre incredibly disciplined in areas of religious or spiritual practice.

A person of relentless faith with a source of divine protection.

Of course, this divine protection also comes at a costyour mental and emotional health.

Therefore, your Saturn return will come with an existential crisis that may literally drive you mad.

Remember the challenges of this house are a superpower in their own right.

Youre a beacon of hope and healing who can unlock a world of potential in others.
