Saturn Return Explained: Why Your Late-20s Feel Like a Test
Saturn takes about 29.5 years to circle back to the exact degree it occupied when you were born. That return, usually landing between ages 27 and 30, is why so many people describe their late twenties as the moment everything they built on autopilot suddenly gets tested.
