Fascinating. I didn't think I knew where to calculate my Saturn return, but googled and found:
http://www.astrocal.co.uk/saturn-return.php
(This page gives "start return" and "finish return".)
My natal Saturn is at 12 degrees Aries, 5 degress into my 4th house. I have always wondered if this relates to my adult life being dominated by marriage to a man with Sun in Aries, a control freak and wastrel (Capricorn is on the cusp of my 2nd). Saturn aspects nothing except, obviously, trine my Ascendant (Sagittarius) and opposing my midheaven. I have no planets in the 10th. (By the way, does that mean I'm completely wasting my time if I want to focus on career?)
Age 6/7 1/4 Saturn cycle, Waxing Square
- a month before the return started, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Age13/14 1/2 Saturn cycle, Opposition
- dunno (though being that age I'm sure I thought it was significant and dramatic at the time
).
Age 20/21 3/4 Saturn cycle, Waning Square
- I married during this return. (Bad decision!)
Age 28/29 First Saturn Return
- This one began and ended within a month; that was the month I began a (very difficult) new job, and four months earlier, our second son died.
Around 35 1 1/4 Saturn cycle, Waxing Square
- dunno, again, except that I took on a voluntary role editing a newsletter, which felt very much "my thing".
ETA: Also the serious decline in my health, which was dodgy already, dates back to around then - so gradual that it's hard to pin down, but my son was coming out of toddlerhood then and that's always been when I think of things really beginning to get worse.
Around 42 1 1/2 Saturn cycle, Opposition
- no idea; I haven't much memory of that year anyway (ETA: because I was recovering from serious illness).
Around 50 1 3/4 Saturn cycle, Waning Square
Around 59 Second Saturn Return
Around 66 2 1/4 Saturn cycle, Waxing Square
Around 73 2 1/2 Saturn cycle, Opposition
Around 80 2 3/4 Saturn cycle, Waning Square
Around 89 Third Saturn Return
- These are yet to come.
Three out of six, I can't think of anything. Am I disproving astrology...?
By the way, I was told that psychiatry recognises that things commonly come to a head around the age of thirty - if someone has depression, for example, it reaches a crisis around then - as if that's when stuff gets resolved,
kill or cure. ("Kill or cure" could sum up Saturn in a way, d'you think?)
