One of the most important planetary transits in astrology is known as the return of Saturn, but unlike the Mercury retrograde , conjunctions or lunations that affect us all equally, this phenomenon only influences people who have between 27 Y 29 years .

If it seems strange to you, astrologers explain it simply: the return of Saturn is a cosmic event that occurs in your birth chart every 27 to 29 years, which is when this planet returns to the sign and degree it was when you were born .

Still not clear? Perhaps you are not very familiar with astrology and do not know why it is so important in your relationship with the stars.

Saturn is the planet that is associated with discipline, karma and the way our life is structured , that’s why it is one of the most important stars in astrology , to the degree that many consider him to be ‘the master of the Zodiac’, as explained by astrologer Lisa Stardust in a review for Cosmopolitan .

Every time Saturn returns to the sign where it was when you were born, important events occur in your life : between the 27 Y 29 years there are changes in your work, need for independence, the term of your university career, some important breakup or the beginning of a life-long relationship, buying a home, etc.

The second time it happens in your life is at the end of your 50 years, which is when you are finishing your working life, planning your retirement, the family has grown and the children start their own path, etc. And the third time that happens, if you’re lucky, it’s at the end of your 80 years, which is a period of wisdom and you prepare to say goodbye to this world.

As We mentioned, astrologers consider Saturn the master of the Zodiac, that’s why every time he returns to the position he was in the sky at the time of your birth (which you can find out in a online astrological calculator ) teaches you shows the lessons you learned in your life or visions for your future.

As Lisa Stardust says in Refinery 29 : “Since Saturn is the cosmic foreman, during his return we basically learn a lot about who we are, where we are going and what our limits and limitations are.”

Also, since Saturn is considered a “karmic” planet, it is likely that when your “return of Saturn” happens the universe will charge you for some negative action that you committed in your previous years or reward your good intentions .
