The Saturn Return in Libra
The Planetary Time Indicator of Change
(Oct. 30, 2009-Apr. 7, 2010) and (Jul. 22, 2010-Oct. 5, 2012)

The planet Saturn begins its journey through your Astrological horoscope at the moment of your birth. Its complete cycle through the zodiac and the houses of your Astrological chart takes roughly 29 years. The Saturn Return occurs when Saturn passes through the sign it was in at the time of your birth. The Saturn Return is in effect for approximately two-and-a-half years and will occur twice in your life, typically around age 28-30 and again at 58-60. If you were born during 1980 – 1983 or 1951 – 1953 you were born with Saturn in Libra and are currently experiencing your first or second Saturn Return.

This is a very special Saturn Return for those with Saturn in Libra as it is igniting the Cardinal Cross Climax that I have written of in previous Astro-Grams. The Cardinal Cross is emphasizing a time of both great and necessary change, making this Saturn Return even more powerful than usual.

When Saturn returns to its natal position in your chart you will undergo one of the most intense maturation periods of your life.  In general, Saturn Returns are precursors to strong and sometimes painful yearnings for change. During this period of time you will be divinely guided to relinquish anything in your life that does not support your future life goals and purpose. You may find yourself feeling compelled to prioritize your objectives and activities so you can make the best use of your abilities for the next 29.5 years.

This can be a very stressful and trying time because the security of the past is familiar and safe, whereas the future is still unformed and therefore uncertain.  Among many things, Saturn represents karma, responsibility and accountability. This will be a critical time requiring you to act with extreme integrity.

The Saturn Return brings about endings and new beginnings. The universe will unveil unhealthy and incongruent living and working conditions that can no longer be tolerated. This recognition can bring about enormous change, which may at times feel completely out of your control. 

If you resist your personal nature and desires during your Saturn Return, the next 29.5 years could bring much suffering. If you willingly embrace Saturn’s courageous force, the transformation you make during this period can bring long term stability and future security.
