Saturn Return

The Saturn return is one of the most widely cited astrological cycles. It happens when transiting Saturn returns to the same zodiac position as in your birth chart—approximately every 29.5 years. The first return (around age 29) is often linked to "getting serious" about career, relationships, and identity; the second (around 58–59) to maturity and legacy. Search intent such as "How does Saturn return affect career at 29?" reflects real interest in this transit. Effects depend on natal Saturn's sign, house, and aspects. Saturn symbolizes structure, responsibility, limits, and time—the return can bring restructuring of those areas. Calculations use the same ephemeris data (e.g. NASA DE441) that powers precise chart work; timing can be given to the month or week.
