There Will Come a Time When You Feel Like Everything is Finished. That Will Be The Beginning

Name: Caitlin

Saturn Cycle: Saturn Return in Scorpio (Saturn is also conjunct Pluto and opposing Venus)
Born: 1983

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.

 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.

Lighten up!

I'm currently going through my first Saturn Return and I find the coincidences fascinating.

I started my own business recently; the road is quite bumpy to say the least, but I'm willing to give myself a chance to make a living from what I'm really good at. Risky.

Making Peace With My Saturn Return

If there is one thing I wish I knew four years ago, it is the phenomenon of the Saturn Return. It all began with a car crash and slowly every area of my life got sucked into a downward spiral.

If I knew such a thing as a Saturn Return existed, I would have been better prepared for it.

Death of the Old Ways
When it began I saw everything I had built start to disintegrate. I had to make some hard choices. I took a hard hit when it came to finances, career and friendships.

Since my Saturn Return began I was living with high anxiety, fear, low self-worth, regret and many negative feelings.

My natal Saturn is at 0° Scorpio. Saturn is about to enter Scorpio. As I write this, I am roughly a two and a half days away from Saturn making its exact conjunction, and part of me wonders if that means my life is about to fall apart.

Next week is my birthday and I'm turning 27 years old. I have to be honest and say I'm not looking forward to it. For the past 26 years of my life things haven't panned out the way I had hoped. I graduated from college, but I'm deep in debt. I'm also unemployed and still living at home.

It gets awkward when family or acquaintances ask me, "Well what are you doing now?" or "Are you working?" Whenever I'm faced with those questions I want to crawl under a rock.

Where do I begin?

In early 2009 I fell pregnant for a third time. I'd been with my abusive husband for 12 years and though I love my first two dearly this third pregnancy made me realise I didn't want my husband and his controlling ways anymore.

Had to get out and this new baby was a scary development. Sadly I miscarried and my husband blamed me - said my negativity caused the loss.

It was then that I relished that I no longer loved him, he was cruel, heartless, mean and needy all in one.
