Essentially, it means a time of reckoning. “The first Saturn return happens when we are about 29, as Saturn gets back to the degree it was when you were born,” astrologer Francesca Oddie tells Stylist.

“Saturn is like the strict headmaster who wants the best for us – to grow up and achieve,” Oddie explains. “If you’ve been in a job that you don’t particularly like, but you have great friends and fun weekends, you can get through your 20s just dealing with the frustration. However, at Saturn’s return, any frustrations become very heavy and depressing, and the same goes for a relationship that was once OK and had been ticking along nicely.

“Saturn returns to wake us up to our true selves. The more we are sleepwalking through life, the more painful this process will be.”
