The Saturn return is an astrological phenomenon occurring when Saturn in the 1st house completes its orbit around the Sun and returns to the same position it occupied at the time of your birth, which happens roughly every 29.5 years. Often associated with significant life transitions, this period is seen as a time of growth, reflection, and accountability. Many experience major shifts in career, relationships, or personal identity, as Saturn's influence is linked to discipline, responsibility, and long-term goals. The first Saturn return, typically in the late 20s, is thought to mark the transition into full adulthood, while subsequent returns in the late 50s and 80s are tied to later life milestones and a reevaluation of one's legacy.
