Modern
Your Saturn return is Saturn coming back to where it sat at your birth, a checkpoint into real adulthood. With natal Saturn in Taurus, the lessons gather around stability and worth. The years leading in can bring a reckoning with what you have built to feel safe: where comfort became inertia, where you confused having with being, where you leaned on things instead of trusting yourself.

Come through it and your sense of enough comes from within.
