Saturn return is another name for the Saturn conjunct Saturn transit. It is one of the most important transits in astrology and an important milestone in life. Your first Saturn return at age 29.5 is a coming of maturity but sometimes felt as a mid-life crisis. Your second Saturn return at age 59 is often a culmination of life experience or peak in career.
Your Saturn return will last about one month unless Saturn retrogrades over its natal position. In this case the transit can last about 10 months with 3 exact hits. The impact is much stronger with just the single pass of Saturn conjunct Saturn transit. With Saturn retrograde the intensity is spread out more over time but the actual retrograde motion pass is usually the most significant or dramatic.
As your Saturn return approaches you may begin to feel an urge to do things you have always wanted to do but never got around to. This can give a sense of urgency that you better get on with things as time is ticking by. Any area of life that is no longer rewarding could be in for change but most often it is relationships and career that are most affected.
This period of culmination of your efforts will be rewarding if you have been responsible and respectful over recent years. Saturn builds structures and systems that are the foundations of your life and give a sense of safety and security. If you have already built solid foundations then your Saturn conjunct Saturn transit will be a cyclic renewal. You may receive recognition for past effort, take on more responsibility in your career or receive a promotion. You could move to a nicer home or turn over an investment property or other financial investment.
If you have taken short cuts and your foundations are more illusion than reality, you will likely experience loss and disappointment during your Saturn return. If you have been aware of such a problem area then it will be relatively easy to see it go. But if you have been unconscious that something was not working properly it can be rather upsetting, even if you will be better off without it.
If you are on the wrong karmic path then Saturn will kick your ass and take away the things or people in your life associated with your immaturity and lack of discipline or respect. Such a mid-life crisis will then turn into a rebuilding phase with new beginnings and new opportunities now the negative karma has been repaid.
