Chronic Panic

Much dreaded, and oft discussed Saturn Returns correlate with natural developments. It seems increasingly fashionable to stress over one's impending Saturn Return. This makes no sense !

Saturn was also known as Chronos/Kronos in ancient times. The word chronological derives from Chronos, as do chronic, and crone, all related to time.

From a vantage point behind two Saturn Returns, I can speak from my own experience. Both Saturn Returns led me to better life patterns. By the second return the previous pattern had run its course, and had to change. It's really no more than nature moving us along, time passing and circumstances adjusting. If we allow ourselves to dread the passage of time and its attendant changes - what is left ?

One's whole chart, as well as Saturn's position, must have a strong bearing on what occurs at Saturn Return time, thought to extend for 3 years. Is Saturn in a prominent position natally, on an angle? What other planets are close, are there any other strong transits ocurring in the chart around the same time, especially involving Pluto or Uranus?

These are all important considerations. It's not logical to expect that everyone will have a bad experience, and those who do are likely, eventually, to be glad of it because of where it led them. I recognise my first Saturn Return, on looking back, but at the time I was quite unaware of it - that's how bad it was!

Saturn Returns need the benefit of hindsight, not foresight, and certainly not fore-worry!
