We have a limited time here on this earth and during our Saturn Return, Father Time (Saturn) is knocking on our door to check in with us on our current path. He wants us focused, disciplined, practical, and mature enough to handle the larger responsibilities that come with adulthood.
In the sign of Aquarius, he has a more specific concern with our friends, community, freedom, unconventionality, and longterm visions as this is the current life’s karmic struggle.
So if you are going through your Saturn return right now, start asking yourself these questions:
Are you surrounded by the right people who value you and your time? Can you have honest, vulnerable conversations with them that challenge and promote your growth? Can you have conflicts and resolve them maturely? Do you have common, wider visions for humanity beyond the systems in place? Do your friends and community constrain you or respect your freedom as an individual to make your own choices?
Throughout your Saturn Return, you will get the chance to see who really stands by the (hopefully) individuated and rebellious version of yourself and who doesn’t.
We’ve all gone through hardships and intense trauma over the past year. The honorable people in your life who have been there for you are the ones worth keeping. The ones who are only there for you when it is convenient or not there at all need to be dropped. Move on, respect yourself and your needs, and you will attract your tribe.
Saturn ultimately wants us to grow up and learn how to deal with the world on our own and in our own unique, Aquarian way. In order to do that, we can no longer waste our time on people who do not have our best interest at heart, but rather, spend time with the ones who will inspire us to do better and be better. Even if that means learning how to be a lone wolf temporarily in order to find our longterm pack.
Saturn shows us a harsher reality of our lives, but it’s for our own good and in the end, we come out of it a better, wiser person.
