Full Description
This cycle comes around as Saturn returns to the same place in the Zodiac as when you were born. Saturn brings a new cycle in our lives, we are not here to simply "fade away and die" at this age.
This specific Second Saturn Cycle pinpoints a major turning point as it is a move from "Midlife" to "Elderhood". Saturn brings with it structure and limitations. It rewards you by not imposing limits of the lifestyle you have built that serves you. But will challenge decisions made in midlife that may need to be let go of now you are in this cycle, decisions such a career, relationships, locations and so on. Our role in life can change during this cycle.
This Second Saturn Return also brings us the challenge of living in older bodies and often there are health issues and making the adjustments necessary to overcome them can be part of this maturing road.
But "Elderhood" is also about the joy of gifting others with your acquired skills and accumulated wisdom. If you have been successful materially then it can involve giving some of your finances away for causes you truly respect or donating time to others to help them become more successful, functional and grateful for their own lives. For this Saturn Return brings the lesson that life is precious and time in the body is finite.
This is a long-term Cycle but knowing the weather you are to meet at the Saturn Return can be immensely valuable. The rules of the game change and it's good to know what they are.
There are often many reasons to be optimistic, as Saturn shows you the limits, but provides you with a structure that can shield you from the chaos of the world to some extent. The Cycle Analysis will show you the themes to enrich the self-optimism that comes from living as yourself and aligning to a life path that fits far better with your authentic nature.
As all long term cycles, it involves the Sun/Earth configuration and what that represents in relationship to the natal chart and the Nodal environment. A larger thematic road map is provided for the client. The stage and the process of a long-term pattern. Signposts can be laid out that can be very affirming.
