Introducing 🪐 Saturn Return Map: Aries Edition 🪐

A weekly guide to finding your way in your late twenties

First Saturn Return

Feb 10, 2025

Hi, there!

Hope you had a fantastic weekend.

Mine was filled with enthusiasm, writing, and creativity.

A project I have been developing FOR YEARS is ready to be shared.

Keep reading to find out about it.

If you are in your late twenties, you may feel lost and lonely.

Although the path ahead seems unclear, you know that you can’t go back to the past.

There’s no safe past to go back to.

You know you must move forward. But how? How do you do it?

Do you choose the beaten path? Or pick a more genuine lifestyle that may offer more rewards but also more uncertainty?

Do you settle down or travel the world?

Do you accept the well-paid corporate job or go all-in with your creativity, working odd jobs to pay the bills?

Do you decide to have kids? Or do you question this mandate for good?

Do you keep repeating your family traditions or create your own ones?

Do you marry your long-term partner or break up with them because the relationship is stalled?

So many questions. So many doubts. So many options.

You feel conflicted, confused, convoluted.

The opposite of cool, calm, and collected.

And believe me when I tell you that I get it. I COMPLETELY get it.

I have been there, too.

And what you’re experiencing is normal.

You’re going through the first Saturn return.

The first Saturn return is an astrological transit you’ll experience in your late twenties/early thirties. In pop culture, this transformational period is known as the 30-year crisis.

As you may have already noticed, going through this transit is not a walk in the park.

In astrology, Saturn is related to boundaries, restrictions, limitations, and responsibilities.

The first Saturn return feels like enrolling in a PhD about all the Saturnian themes.

Life feels heavy. Commitments pile up. Time moves slowly.

Again, as I said, feeling uncomfortable during this period is normal.

But there are some strategies you can implement to go through it more gracefully.

My experience with the first Saturn return

When I heard about the Saturn return for the first time, I was 24 years old.

Back then, I decided that I was going to “win” my own Saturn return.

I would prepare SO WELL that nothing bad will happen.

But life had other plans for me.

If you want to read how my first Saturn return was EXTREMELY transformational, you can check this text from my blog.

The point is that during my Saturn return, I learned that bad things happen. Period. There are some strategies we can implement to navigate them, but it’s impossible to stop them from happening.

The good news is that, during this process, I incorporated tons of astrological and practical knowledge to deal with the hardships of life.

Saturn has slowly but surely helped me become more resilient, responsible, and capable of solving problems.

This planet is related to boundaries, restrictions, limitations, and responsibilities. But also to harvests, mastery, becoming an authority and growing up.

I didn’t choose to focus on Saturn as my primary interest in astrology. Saturn has chosen me.

And I think the reason is that I have a very sober personality, something the ringed planet truly appreciates.

I’m optimistic (four planets in Sagittarius in my birth chart!), but I don’t engage in 🌈toxic positivity. 🌈

I don’t believe in instant solutions, but I know that regulating your nervous system will benefit you no matter what you are going through.

I can’t see life with rose-colored glasses. That ship has sailed forever.

And even though sometimes I feel like Debbie Downer, I prefer being realistic than naive.

I have learned that things take time, and nothing is 100 % good or 100% bad.

You can’t predict what will happen in your life. Astrology is archetypally predictive, not concretely predictive.

But you can certainly prepare yourself and acquire tools to help you navigate the rough patches.

Now, after going through an intense Saturn return, I’m confident in my ability to solve issues.

I know I can extract the good from the bad, be flexible, and nurture myself in every aspect of existence.

And I feel ready to teach you how to do it, too.

Introducing 🪐Saturn Return Map: Aries Edition🪐

Saturn Return Map: Aries Edition is my attempt to systematize all the knowledge and tools I have to help you find your path during the life-changing astrological transit you’ll experience in your late twenties.

The weekly guidance starts next week, Monday 17th of February, and will work like this:

From Monday, 17th of February until Monday, 25th of August, subscribers will receive lessons to prepare for and navigate their first Saturn return in Aries.
The lessons will intertwine knowledge about the Saturn return with current astrological events because no transit occurs in isolation.
However, I will not include EVERY current astrological event. I’ll focus on the most relevant astrological transits, such as eclipses, the period when Saturn turns retrograde, and the changes of seasons, just to name a few.
Some weeks, I’ll offer journaling prompts, book and movie recommendations, and other practical exercises. You may want to get a dedicated journal for this process.
In your dedicated journal, I suggest you write “Week” and the week's number in every journaling session because I will make you go back to previous entries you have written before. This is not a set-and-forget journey. We will actively engage our bodies and minds through it.

This project is for you if…

You have Saturn in Aries and want to prepare for your first Saturn return
You’re experiencing the Saturn return and feel lonely and lost
You’ve already experienced your Saturn return and want to analyze it
You’re an astrology fan and want to know more about this discipline
You’re a curious person and always open to reading about new stuff

I have already experienced my Saturn return, but I will engage in this project as if I had Saturn in Aries in my birth chart. There are some tools that I need to polish.

If you’re an elder millennial, you can join me in this venture!

FAQs

Here, I reply to some questions you may have.

If something’s not covered in this section, feel free to leave a comment, and I’ll get back to you.

Why do we start now if Saturn ingresses Aries in May?

Good question!

Saturn arrives at 20 degrees of Pisces on Sunday, February 23rd, 02:58 EST.

When Saturn is 10 degrees earlier than the zodiac sign of your natal Saturn, you can start preparing for your Saturn return.

But why?

You’ll get the answer to this question in our first lesson on Monday 17th of February.

Why does the project stop on Monday, August 25th?

The project stops on Monday, August 25th, because Saturn retrograde returns to Pisces on Monday, September 1st.

Saturn will stay in Pisces for the last time in this 29-year cycle from the 1st of September 2025 until the 13th of February 2026.

This newsletter could offer guidance for those with Saturn in Pisces who want to wrap up their Saturn returns from September 2025 until the first week of February 2026.

I haven’t thought this through yet, but I’m brainstorming some ideas.

If you are reading this and have Saturn in Pisces, let me know what type of content will be helpful to you.

The weekly guidance for Saturn in Aries natives will return on Monday 9th of February 2026.

How much does it cost?

It’s free, baby! Get on board!

I think that’s it for now. Thanks for reading!

To be honest, I’m really excited about this project, and I hope you’re interested in it, too.
