What a Saturn return is

A Saturn return happens when Saturn completes one full circuit of the zodiac and reaches the position it held at your birth, at about 29, 58 and 88. Astrology reads it as a coming-of-age checkpoint: a period for taking stock of what you have built, letting go of what no longer fits and committing to what matters. Because Saturn sometimes turns retrograde, it can cross the exact point up to three times; the dates shown are each crossing.

Questions and answers

What is a Saturn return?

Saturn takes about 29 and a half years to circle the zodiac. Your Saturn return is the period when it comes back to the position it held at your birth. Astrology reads it as a checkpoint for taking stock of what you have built and what you want to keep.

Why does it show more than one date for a return?

Saturn regularly appears to move backwards for a few months, an effect of perspective called retrograde motion. Around your return it can cross its natal position, go back over it and cross again, up to three times in total. Each crossing is listed with its own date.

Will my Saturn return be a hard time?

Not necessarily. Astrology links the return with reflection and commitment, and people describe it in very different ways. The tool gives you dates and a traditional theme to think about; it cannot tell you what will happen in your life during those months.
