Hello everyone and welcome to Saturn Returns with me Kaggi Dunlop.

This is a podcast that aims to bring clarity during transitional times where there can be confusion and doubt.

My job is to overthink.

My job is to overthink.

My job is to reach for trauma, reprocess it, overthink, and turn it into something

that may change someone or may help someone.

In this episode of Settlematans, I am joined by poet, writer and illustrator Nikita Gill.

Nikita began writing at a young age and is now published five collections of poetry, a novel and edited her own poetry anthologies.

She first became known by publishing her work on social media site Tumblr and is now described

as one of the most successful inst poets.

As someone who doubles in poetry myself, I was interested to talk to her about her craft

because I'm a big believer that finding a creative outlet can be a powerful form of therapy and self-expression.

When we are young we create so much and we often lose touch with that creativity as we get older

unless it's our career. I'm very drawn to Nikita's work and the world that she creates, which is both introspective and

relatable.

She questions the status quo and the concept of destiny, and also rights of witches, queens and power.

To me she really embodies a fiery femininity and as I initiate into my own

womanhood I feel grateful to have had this conversation with her as she is such an inspiration to me.

But before we get to Nikita, let's hear from our astrological guide, Nora.

Saturn rules of the winter. The moment that the sun moves into Capricorn and acquires throughout December and February every year, we are officially in the realm of Saturn.

And what do we see around us at that time? Nothing.

Everything is barren and cold. The days are short, nights are long, darkness hits before we even get used to the sunlight.
