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.

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.

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.

Coming to the end of my Saturn Return in Libra now... It has been very hard for me because I was so out of touch with my authentic self before this happened that I had much work to do indeed.

Personal relationships have all completely changed. I had some tough lessons in booting people out of my life who were taking but not giving, not respecting me or using me.

I have done a heck of a lot of therapy related to my childhood and relationships with my family and also during this time I decided to be single for the first time in my life after recognizing a pattern of controlling, unsatisfying or abusive relationships.

I'm Brazilian, and I'm going through my Saturn Return. I´ve always been afraid of this moment.

I'll try to explain what is happening and give you an idea of how Saturn is manifesting in my life.

Everything is different.

1. My parents are getting divorced after a 35 years.

Hello, I have a Libra Sun but I was born with Saturn in Scorpio, so instead of having two and a half years of Saturn's medicine, I'm preparing for having 5 years of it.

I got married just before Saturn entered in Libra in 2009. It was like I was yearning for love and discipline before I met him. I moved from my country to his, without knowing how to speak his language, without diplomas - which would allow me to search for as good a job as I had before - and I said goodbye to my family and friends.

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.

It's hard to do the right thing

I’m a 29-year-old with Saturn in Libra. I mysteriously came across a website earlier this year about the return of Saturn. I’ve never heard anything about the return of Saturn but once I read what it meant, everything that had and was transpiring in my life all of a sudden made sense.

I ended a five year relationship this year. It was an extremely difficult and painful thing to do, it still is. I knew that I had to end it because it was a very imbalanced relationship.

Moved half-way across the world to be with my love of 2 years

by Julie
I've got my sun in Saggitarius, so I jumped on the opportunity to travel half-way around the world with my love of 2 years. When I got there and we moved in together, it became clear really quickly that this relationship was way out of balance and that I was not going to be happy in the long-term.

I felt like I was constantly sacrificing myself in the relationship and had become so down on myself because he was always down on me. When he moved again, half-way across the world, I was able to say no thanks, let's part ways and live our separate lives.
