When Solstice mentions your Saturn return, you can tap the phrase. This is what the card says:
- Saturn return. Saturn returns to its natal position every ~29.5 years (so around ages 29 and 58). The years on either side feel like a structural audit — what to keep, what to outgrow, who you are becoming.
