[1:05] Astrology & “Saturn Return”
Saturn makes a full orbit every 27-30 years
[2:38] Saturn's “Dreams of Youth” by LiveAbout.com:
“Saturn brings with it the pressure of time, and often the first awareness of your own mortality. You take stock of what it would take to achieve those big dreams, and often a sense of dread at ever getting there. But happily, it’s a time when things like discipline, focus, and clear-sight come in to give you a kind of pragmatic hope. You’ll figure out what’s still possible, and make the changes necessary to get on track…. it’s a crossroads period when life-altering decisions are made.”
[3:22] Lauren's thoughts:
“Saturn return is SERIOUS… it's about growing up, responsibility and getting real. Super transitional, lots of changes. But also brings what your discipline of goals and experiences have created to this point. Saturn return is stepping into the threshold of adulthood”

[8:35] BOOK: The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need:
“Saturn is called the Celestial Taskmaster, for it teaches us the lessons we must learn in life. In the grand plan of the universe, Saturn does not give us more than we can handle. Under Saturn’s influence we achieve by overcoming obstacles and hardship. Sometimes the effort itself is what builds character. In the end, what we learn under Saturn’s influence we keep for the rest of our lives.”

[9:47] Relationships
Emily Trinkaus from tarot.com: “Saturn Return is a period that requires solitude and introspection, many people experience being single — or temporarily separated from their partner — during their Saturn Return. In some cases, it can feel like you have so much going on in your own life that you have no time or energy for a partnership. If you find yourself in this situation, commit to being your own best partner for the time being. Trust that the energy you invest in your individual growth and development will necessarily result in a more satisfying future partnership.”
