(((LittleOne))) If I was a parent I would love my child to come back when times were tough! I think it's brave to return home because it's not easy and you feel a little embarrassed and silly. We all have difficult periods in our lives and if family can support you when you get back on your feet, that's wonderful
it's just temporary! Losing our independence is tricky!
Exactly! I, too, would be very happy to help my child and her family. Anyone in my family, honestly, and we do so. They have also helped us in return at times. That is what family is for, right?
And, one day, you may have to help your parents out too. Chances are that you will need to when they get older.
The first Saturn return happens at around 28 to 29 years old and makes life "serious" in some way. It's a wake up call! It's like the Tower card in tarot, you realise that something in life is not working out for you.
looking back and scruitinzing it more for myself at that age, there were also a lot of hard times when I was 27 and 28, but then mid year of my 27th year, things began to really fall in place for me, I think. I like that you say its when life is more serious--because I think perhaps this was the year that I really began to understand things in life more. Its when I began to realize what I needed to do.
I hate to think everything is all negative and it can't be awful for every person (it depends where you have Saturn in your chart and how affected you are). I see it largely as becoming a mature adult, maybe you marry, maybe you divorce, maybe you have kids. something becomes serious in your life, you are no longer that naive person (I changed so much from 20 to 30 years old, I thought I knew everything in my twenties, how I laugh now
).
exactly! I thought I knew it all too. I did move out on my own, but quite honestly, I wasn't ready for the big outside world. It was hard! But, I think by the time I got to 25 or 26, I began to act a bit smarter and then by the time I was 27, smarter and more mature.
I also began to reap in some positive things that have to this day been built upon and really made my life better. So overall, my first Saturn return was great. Perhaps because the years before were not so great? *shrugs*
Mand Maud posted this site link which works out your years
here. I am a bit sceptical about it because I don't think they are precise years for every person but others here may know better than me. I would regard it as approximate. We don't all have it at the same exact age, but your first Saturn return is around 28/ 29 so remember back to that and if anything major happened in your life. The first return is the most difficult. The second return is at around 59 years old and the third return which some people are now experiencing (and never used to) is at around 89. I don't know about where Saturn is in your chart though, I am too inexperienced for that
I have it in the 9th house Virgo. (I am not sure what the numbers mean next to Virgo, mine is 7?).
I only have 4-5 more years to wait for my next Saturn return. I'm hoping it will be as good to me as the first one. And, I hope the 3rd one will also be as generous. My mother is 88, soon to be 89. I imagine she is having her 3rd Saturn return. I am not close to my mother and we do not live near each other, but from what I can 'see' of her in the last year and this one is that she has really mellowed a lot. So, in my opinion it is a good Saturn return for her. I should do her chart too! I don't have the exact time of her birth, but I know it was before lunch time, as her oldest siblings recall coming home from school to eat lunch and finding they had a brand new baby sister.
Researching into Saturn Returns this week for my own learning, I found out you can have the return at 28/29 and it can last into your early 30's. My really terrible year when my mental health spiralled and I had huge depression dealing with everything was when I was 31/32. That must have been when it hit, it was terrible! but I have been rebuilding my life since then and I think moving to a more stable place, I have better control of my own mental health now to stop that spiralling. The positive thing about the Saturn return is you recover and heal to a better place
I had hoped to spend time on it myself this past week--but didn't get much in at all.
Reading your post, Daniel, and others, it seems that the first Saturn return comes at a time when we've truly began to understand what our lives require, and we have the push in ourselves to go out and make it happen/come to be. That is exactly how I felt for the end of my 20s and start of my 30s.
