Summary
Have you ever felt like everything in your late twenties is suddenly up for grabs - your relationships, your career, even who you thought you were? It might be your Saturn return - a period of upheaval, self-reflection, and big life questions that’s as much psychological as it is astrological.
In this episode, we look at the psychology behind Saturn returns - why this age feels so turbulent, what’s happening in our minds and lives.
We explore:
• The astrological background of Saturn returns
• Why humans are drawn to these kinds of explanations
• Dynamic shifts of our relationships, friendships and family dynamics
• Uncertainty and mismatches in our 20s
• Why upheaval can be good for us
• Strategies to navigate this period
If you’ve ever wondered why the end of your twenties feels like some huge cosmic challenge, this episode is for you.
