Saturn return in Sagittarius
When Saturn returns to Sagittarius, the audit is about belief. The religion, politics or life philosophy you were raised with gets tested against your own experience. Some people travel or move abroad. Others finish a degree. The return leaves you with fewer beliefs that you actually hold.

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.

What does Saturn return mean for you?
The dates above come from your birthday alone. What the transit brings depends on the rest of your chart: the house Saturn crosses and the planets it touches on the way. Solstice reads them with your birth time and place, and talks with you about it while it lasts.
