Saturn “returns” to the degree in which it occupied at the time of birth — approximately every 29.5 years — a person crosses over a major threshold and into the next stage of life. That is called Saturn Return. It occurs at the ages of 27-30, 58-60, and finally from 86-88.
At every saturn return,goals are consolidated and people tend to gain a better vision of where they are going in life. There are added responsibilities and a person may reap the rewards from his or her hard work. Many major life milestones seem to happen around the ages of 29 and 30. This is why astrologers believe that the thirtieth birthday is such a major rite of passage because it marks the true beginning of adulthood, self-evaluation, independence, ambition, and self actualization.
Saturn return takes place at a fixed age in one’s life with saturn returning back to its natal position in approximately 29.5 years. Note this is different from Saturn sade sati which is discussed in DecisionCare blogs (http://www.decisioncare.org/vedic-astrology/saturn-mahadasa-and-shani-sade-sat/).
Saturn sade sati happens when transit saturn is in 12th,1st and 2nd zodiac signs from natal moon and can occur at different ages depending on the relative position of moon and saturn at birth.
In both cases, saturn teaches the inner meaning of life. To quote DecisionCare, Saturn is the guru who teaches us the realities of our earthly existence. Discipline, stamina, hard work, obstacles, delays, failures, frustrations, displacement, loneliness teach us to look beneath the glamor, reputation, achievement, wealth and social connections.
