How My Life Completely Transformed After My Saturn Return
It was 2017. I found myself, not for the first time that week sitting in the bath, staring into space, grinding my teeth and trying to quiet a swirl of inner noise.
My brain was in overdrive. It kept telling me the same thing over and over again. It had been telling me this for a couple of years now. I'd been ignoring it of course.
My 30s were fast approaching and I know now - through my studies with Astrology, my Saturn return was on the horizon. Things were in motion that were much bigger than me and I would have to adapt and evolve at some point.
What is a Saturn Return?
When you were born, all the planets in the sky were in certain positions that created certain energies. In the world of Astrology, these energies influence the karma and fate of your life.
Saturn was one of these planets. Saturn in Astrology is a Teacher archetype. It represents boundaries, discipline, hard work and responsibility.
January 2025 Astrology Highlights
The following is a summary of the Astrology of the month. I’ll go over which planets are making moves and how it will affect us little guys down here.
Most significantly, The Lunar Nodes are changing signs. This transit will affect us for a while. We also have Venus moving into Pisces - bringing compassionate and loving energy along with it, Mars retrograde in Cancer, and Mercury moving into Capricorn.
Mercury is small and fast. This means it changes zodiac signs fairly regularly. So though this isn’t front-page news, Capricorn and Mercury are a friendly pairing and so this could prove useful!
This may help to mitigate the more challenging Cancer/Mars pairing, who feel a bit like two colleagues forced to collaborate on a work project. They bring very different ideas on how to get things done. One keeps getting upset, the other frustrated. It’s not the best, but it’s doable if everyone keeps it respectful! Astrology is vast, and this is just a snapshot so take what resonates, leave the rest!
Embracing Change: Navigating Scorpio Season's Depths
We are now in Scorpio season, a sign associated with change transformation, death and rebirth. These themes may play out for us until November 21st when the sun will change signs into Sagittarius.
Before I get into it, I just want to be clear that Scorpio doesn’t always mean literal death - it’s often metaphorical and speaks to some type of change. Releasing old ways of being, doing or thinking and making way for the new.
