Your Saturn Return: How to Survive This Life-Changing Transit

If your life suddenly feels like an emotional boot camp where the universe is the drill sergeant, congratulations—you’re probably going through your Saturn Return.

Saturn Return happens when Saturn, the planet of karma, responsibility, and life lessons, returns to the exact spot it occupied when you were born. This cosmic wake-up call occurs around ages 27-30, 57-60, and 87-90 (because apparently, we need multiple rounds of existential crises).

But don’t panic! Saturn isn’t here to ruin your life—it’s here to upgrade you. Think of it like a cosmic software update that forces you to face reality, level up, and step into your true potential.

The Signs You’re in Saturn Return Hell (or Growth Mode)

• You feel lost – Career confusion? Relationship chaos? Existential dread? Yep, Saturn loves to shake things up.

• Life is testing you – Unexpected breakups, job shifts, or major life changes? Saturn wants to see if you’re serious about your future.

• You’re questioning everything – The “Who am I? What am I doing with my life?” spiral is real.

• Big decisions feel unavoidable – You might feel forced to finally grow up, whether that means marriage, career changes, moving, or personal reinvention.

How to Survive (and Thrive) Through Your Saturn Return

• Accept the Transformation – Fighting Saturn is like arguing with gravity. Instead, lean into the lessons and trust the process.

• Let Go of What’s Not Working – If something (or someone) feels misaligned, Saturn is here to remove it for your highest good.

• Take Responsibility – This is your “adulting” moment. Whether it’s finances, relationships, or career, Saturn is making you own your choices.

• Embrace Discipline – Saturn rewards those who put in the work. Focus on building strong foundations for your future.

• Find Your Purpose – The best way to beat Saturn? Step into your power. It’s time to align with what truly makes you fulfilled.

The Saturn Return Glow-Up

Once you make it through, you’ll emerge wiser, stronger, and more aligned with your true path. It’s like leveling up in a video game—tough boss battle, but major rewards.

So if you’re in the middle of your Saturn Return, take a deep breath. This isn’t the end—it’s your cosmic rebirth. You got this.

TODAY'S POSITIVE NEWS
Scotland’s rewilders blazed a trail

A community led rewilding site in Scotland has seen a near doubling of its native woodlands over the past 30 years – a feat achieved simply by removing sheep and deer.

Woodland cover at Tireragan (pictured) on the Isle of Mull grew from 56 hectares in 1994 to 93 hectares in 2024, according to the rewilding charity Scotland: The Big Picture. The increase has been good news for key species such as the pine marten (main picture), according to Aidan Maccormick, a rewilding officer at the charity.

“In 2024 our camera traps recorded pine marten for the first time, and the site is also home to breeding white-tailed eagle, golden eagle and hen harrier,” he said. “It’s a great example of what can be achieved by reducing grazing pressure and allowing nature to take its course.”

ZEN STORY
IS THAT SO?

The Zen master Hakuin was praised by his neighbors as one living a pure life.

A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him. Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.

This made her parents very angry. She would not confess who the man was, but after much harassment at last named Hakuin.

In great anger the parents went to the master. “Is that so?” was all he would say.

After the child was born it was brought to Hakuin. By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child. He obtained milk from his neighbors and everything else the little one needed.

A year later the girl-mother could stand it no longer. She told her parents the truth – that the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fishmarket.

The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask his forgiveness, to apologize at length, and to get the child back again.

Hakuin was willing. In yielding the child, all he said was: “Is that so?”

Half Frog Pose (Ardha Bhekasana)

What is Half Frog Pose?

Half frog pose, or ardha bhekasana in Sanskrit, is usually used to stretch the quadriceps and deep hip flexors. From a prone position, one foot is held near the buttocks while the yogi supports their uplifted torso with their other arm.

Instructions

• Lie on the belly with the forearms on the floor and parallel.

• Exhale and bend the right foot in toward the buttocks.

• Hold the foot with the right hand, fingers pointing forward and elbow toward the sky.

• To deepen the posture, straighten the left arm. Breathe while holding the pose.
