Your Saturn return is an astrological event that happens between the ages of 29-31, causing major life shifts. Here, Stylist speaks to women who’ve found themselves in its grips
As Juliet reached the end of her 20s, she felt completely lost. One day, she had a lightbulb moment during a shiatsu massage, prompting her to completely redirect the course of her life. Inspired, she retrained as a shiatsu practitioner, leaving her job as a civil servant. Then, she decided to end her unhappy marriage of eight years. Despite the disruption, she was happier and colleagues suggested these changes were down to an astrological event called her ‘Saturn return’.
“It feels horrible at first because everything you’ve known might suddenly change. But if I hadn’t gone through it, my life would have been dull, I think,” says Juliet. “It’s an opportunity to wake up to your purpose and to change direction.”
No matter your belief system, your late 20s are bound to be a pretty chaotic time. Getting married, grieving, changing jobs, having kids or watching your friends have them is all par for the course. For followers of the stars, however, this chaos is down to something called your Saturn return, an astrological event that happens every 28.5 years (meaning you first feel its effect between the ages of 27-31).
