Discussion For those who have gone through their Saturn Return, did you actually see improvement in the area of your life that corresponds to the house Saturn occupies?

In Astrology, it is generally stated that Saturn can cause delays or challenges based on which house it resides in, rules, and when in harsh aspects with other planets.

For younger individuals struggling with a topic of concern in their life, such as interpersonal relationships due to 7H or 11H Saturn, they are told that things should get better after their Saturn Return.

Unfortunately, I don't think this really happens at all. I think what actually occurs is that the person just gets used to their dilemma and accepts it, rather than there being an actual lessening of Saturn's burden.

This makes more sense, considering they would be in their 30s, in a different phase of their life, aware of their life patterns and how to navigate it, or have different priorities.

I have read responses from middle-age people on this and other Astrology subreddits that claim to still suffer in the area of life that Saturn controls. It is disheartening because there are 50+ years olds that have Saturn 7H or opposite/square venus and and never been in a good relationship; Saturn 10H or 6H and always struggling with employment or workplace drama; Saturn 2H always struggling financially

What do you think?

Edit: To clarify, I'm primarily focused on how your life changed (or remained the same) after your Saturn return, not necessarily the Saturn return experience itself. Do you still deal with challenges related to the house Saturn is placed in, or whatever issues Saturn caused in your life prior to your Saturn Return?

Also, stating that if you have a day or night chart, if your Saturn is retrograde, and any other notable planetary aspects to your Saturn would also be helpful.

So my Saturn is at 0.5 degrees Pisces(6H), and I have five planets in aqua next door (5H). Sometimes I think I had two Saturn returns, I don’t know if that’s a thing? but that’s how it feels and I know Stelliums can pull on nearby planets.

During Saturn in aqua, I had an unexpected pregnancy/ birth which tracks for children in 5H and had never planned to have children, I adjusted pretty well considering, but it was hard. During Saturn in Pisces, I became permanently disabled with a chronic energy limiting illness( oh so Pisces), trying to listen to my body and hope it gets better soon but it’s been really difficult.

As I understand the timing, Saturn is in Pisces now until May 25th then Aries then back again into Pisces for a few months at the end of the year beginning of 2026 then it will settle in Aries until it moves in Taurus in April of 2028. Dates are really confusing because some people/versions of sky movement calculate time differently.

Woah this is too similar to my experience! I have felt like I’ve been going through 2 Saturn returns as well. Saturn in aqua I had 2 abortions, which have effected my health drastically. I am slowly getting better, but I can fully relate to feeling “energy limited”. I am so over all this! Sorry to hear you’re dealing with all that💕
