Saturn in Scorpio
Birthday: 19 May 

I am currently in the middle of my first Saturn return. Having been a keen observer of astrology for some years, I started becoming aware of some great changes taking place in my life some time prior my first Saturn return was due to start, so I figured I was somewhat prepared for this pivotal time in human development.

I was born in northern Finland. Ever since being a young girl I used to dream of an escape from the conservative small town that is my home. Such an escape came when I finished comprehensive school and was about to pursue college education, as I was granted an entry to one of the few private colleges in Finland, a day's train journey from my home town. It was a college specialising in expressive arts, and I was over the moon to be following my dream to become an actress.

Searching for Fernando - A Story about the Saturn Return

Jose - Mexico 2006

I am an astrologer and helping a man I met in Mexico make it through his first Saturn Return was much more painful than my own.  

I wanted to help people understand what the Saturn Return is all about. During my own Saturn Return I got no help. I remember being desperate for answers, this was before the Internet. What I would have given for just ONE website to explain to me what was happening. 

My story www.searchingforfernando.wordpress.com is incredible and unbelievable... yet every word is true.

The day that my Saturn Return was exact, was the day I fled my home and moved into a domestic violence safe house with my three children. I was 29.

 I always thought my Saturn Return would be easy or straightforward for me. After all, I was familiar with astrology, had a healthy relationship with Saturn and with my own father (I thought) whom I admired.

Yes, my marriage was falling apart, but I was in denial about it. After all, the number one most important thing to me in my whole life was that my children would grow up in an unbroken, intact family, with both their parents-- something I had always wished I had experienced for myself.

Letting Go

 I'm 28 and I've just come to the realisation over the past mammoth few weeks, that yep... my Saturn Return in Scorpio has come, and it is demanding quite a grand welcoming.

Its been grotesque in all its glory. At first I didn't cotton on to what was happening to me. I was feeling tremendous amounts of torment and guilt from past mistakes I made. I thought I was feeling this way because I couldn't bare to live with the guilt and shame, so instead I offered up my honesty of past mistakes to the person I love the most and that just created a new world of pain, torment and guilt that came flooding my way.
