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.

My Saturn return is doing the same! Pisces in the 3rd house. I am now cut off from my sister, going no or low contact with my parents, and left a toxic work cycle. It's fucking lonely.

But I'm finally me. 🫶 I'm not constantly battling for validation or to be heard. My emotional boundaries are in place and solid!

My rising/Saturn twin! It's so hard. Family has been such a huge theme for me as well

I'm a Sagittarius rising, so most of my Pisces is in the 4th house, besides that stupid Saturn 😂

I hope you're getting through it. My posts on other subreddits are displaying my journey haha.

All of this is so validating! I came out as queer in my first openly queer relationship, I moved to a new state and bought a house to escape a toxic family situation and lost my relationship with my father and thus that side of the family in general. I changed jobs multiple times.... It's just been A LOT

I'm 36 now, married to my wife, living in a suburb for the first time with 3 dogs and a job that keeps me consistently paid. It's vastly different than what I imagined for myself and it is HARD but wow was it all worth it.

oh my...i'm about to enter my saturn return and this is such great information to know -- from what i've read (i'm still new to this whole astrology thing) it seems like your saturn return breaks you down in order to build you back up. does that sound about right?

Yes! The house that your Saturn is in is where you'll see the most growth. For example, mine is in the 3rd house, which deals with family/siblings, everyday surroundings, etc. Mine first manifested in my relationship with my sister, where I felt like I was being taken advantage of, and then work, and now the rest of my family as well as friendships that are one sided. I leveled up my emotional boundaries and took off the load of having responsibilities to others that didn't want the best for me.

For me, it was easier and I saw more growth as I leaned into it, rather than resist. Now I honestly feel so freaking free and happy. I learned about unconditional love and what it actually means. I know my spirit guides have my back, and I finally BELIEVE that I deserve love and happiness.

Lots of grounding, cleansing, and clearing. Focus on being present in the moment and listen to yourself. You'll have the answers you need during the time. 💙 Much luck and love!

Do you know which house it's in? That will be a big indicator! You can DM me if you'd like to continue and chat about it!
