Saturn Returns: Your cosmic coming of age

Product Information

Ages 27–30: It’s time to completely recalibrate and celebrate your free will and divinity. Be a fool in love with your SELF – recognise your right to be here, to live according to your own will and to become the authority, the sovereignty that leads your life. In William’s galaxy humans have diversified both space and the mind. There are now Primes, Forts, Singletons amongst others. And they have more control of their bodies and how time is perceived. All this adds to an interesting and unique mix.

The most important piece of advice for navigating your Saturn Return: Embrace it. Trust the process. Do the scary thing and be brave about it. Any attempts to ignore Saturn’s powerful nudges toward personal growth will be futile. On the other side of your Saturn Return, virtually everything in your life will be different, so why not enjoy the ride? Saturn reminds us that through real effort, patience, and practice, we can reap the most extraordinarily gratifying rewards.

How To Survive Your Saturn Return

In today's episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Ruby Warrington, a best-selling author whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Ruby's books, 'Sober Curious' and her latest release 'Women Without Kids,' delve deep into the profound decisions that we often grapple with in our lives, particularly when it comes to the intricate path of motherhood. All of that, combined with a post-religious social landscape (about a quarter of US adults now say they think of themselves as spiritual but not religious) means that astrology is reaching a new generation of advocates who, even though they don’t believe in a god per se, are searching for a belief system that gives their lives more meaning. Overall I enjoyed the ideas and world that is presented, what makes it worth reading at the moment is the mystery element and how each of the character is more than they appear.

As such, it can feel like your life is being totally transformed as you step into a new chapter—which can feel exciting but also intimidating, making you question everything.

I started exploring that aspect of myself more than, and then I was learning more about astrology, knowing that I was about to go through my Saturn Return without really knowing really how it was going to impact me and then when I came out the other side, that's when I felt ready to start putting out the Podcast… I put everything in place way before the pandemic." Once the pandemic hit she wasn’t sure if she should release it but ultimately it was a now or never moment, "I'm so glad that I decided to [release the podcast] because I think everyone needed it at that moment in time myself included."Once we've learned these tough life lessons, we emerge from a Saturn Return with healthy, solid foundations and a newfound self-awareness, with which we can begin building our legacy – until the planet has taken another trip around the sun and we experience a second Saturn Return, around the age of 60. Much like the process of an oyster which, when irritated by a grain of sand creates a pearl, it's thought that the hardships we experience help us to blossom. Your Saturn Return is your very own pearl in the making. And when you recognise that, it helps you to lean into the process, rather than resisting it.
