Important Saturn Return Bulletin for Ages 28-30

Are you between the ages of 28 and 30? Will you have your Saturn Return in 2003 or 2004? Check the list at the end of this article to see if it applies to you. I have had so much response from my article on Saturn Returns, I’m making this information available so you can check online while you read this article.

Your Saturn Return occurs when you’re between the ages of 28 and 30. It marks the official end of childhood and “past lives” – the two are similar psychically and even psychologically. Perhaps you could say that when we come into this lifetime, we re-create the conditions of our past lives, be they “good” or “bad” which carry us through to the age of 30. After that, we’re on our own! Officially into the new lifetime, through a “difficult birth” at the Saturn Return, now we create from our own life force. The Universe asks us to discover (actually “remember” would be a better word) what it was we came here to do and get on with it.

If you’re in the habit of listening to people older than you, you may have noticed what dramatic changes people make in their lives at around 30. I can’t think of anything more valuable for young people in their 30s and 40s than to read some biographies as well. There you learn that no life is without difficulty and that many overcome hardship to succeed. Biographies are some of the most inspiring things you can read.

Here are some examples of significant things people did at their Saturn Returns -- taken from the lives of many different people in different times and places so you can see how universal this principle is:

• A 29 year old woman who had married an abusive man when she was just 17 left him and took her 3 kids to another state to live with a nice older man.

• Another man ended his career as a successful rock concert promoter (in the 70s), married, had two kids and began to sell real estate for a living – unfortunately he hadn’t saved any of the money he made during the wild days!

• Eckart Tolle, author of “The Power of Now” had a conversion experience at 30 and began his life as a spiritual teacher.

• Just turning 30, Winston Churchill followed his father’s footsteps, crossing the floor of Parliament to the liberals (over Tariff Reform), an event which would have lasting repercussions in his life.

• Florence Nightingale did the unheard of at 30. She left for the Crimean War, beginning one of the most influential lives of the early 20th century.

• At 28 Nicole Kidman began to make it into the big time on her own in films, moving out of the shadow of her husband, Tom Cruise. Perhaps this was the beginning of the end of the marriage a few years later.

• A man who had been used for his strength and size all his life by his parents who expected him to take over their family business (an apple orchard), met a radically spiritual woman at 30, divorced his materialistic and contemptuous wife (who also used him), started a new family and a new apple business of his own.

• Stanley Kubrick made his first major studio film, the powerful antiwar movie “Paths of Glory” starring Kirk Douglas when he turned 30.

• At 30 Marilyn Monroe filmed “Bus Stop”, met Lee Strasberg and Arthur Miller; and married Miller within the year.

• John Forbes Nash, Jr. (“A Beautiful Mind”) married, had a child and experienced the onset of his mental illness at 30.

• At 31, Princess Diana got her formal separation from Charles. The damaging book “Diana: Her True Story” by Andrew Morton came out the year before, explaining she suffered bouts of depression and bulimia, even attempting suicide.

• Orenthal J. Simpson ended his career with the Buffalo Bills (1969–77) and went briefly to the San Francisco 49ers (1978–79).

• Arnold Schwarzenegger met his wife Maria Shriver at a tennis tournament when he was 30; they married a couple of years later. Thirty years later, at his second Saturn Return, he is running for governor of California and apologizing for a lifetime of sexual harassment.

• A young woman breaks up with her boyfriend, take a language study program in Morocco and is driven from the airport to the language school by the man she marries 6 months later.

• At 30, Leo Tolstoy ends a life of gambling, fornicating and killing to start a peasants’ school on his estate. (This is the man whose book “God Lives Within influenced Gandhi’s passive resistance movement.) Tolstoy tries to give his serfs their land and freedom but they are suspicious and refuse. 30 years later at his second Saturn Return, he tries to will his estate and property to his serfs but his wife and children revolt.

• Between the ages of 27-32 Osama din Laden began staying more in Afghanistan than Saudi Arabia. He would spend a total of eight months a year or more in Afghanistan.

• World War I ended when Adolf Hitler was 30. Having no where else to go, he returned to Munich and joined the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP). Two years later he was elected party chairman or “Fuehrer”.

• The United Nations has been going through its second Saturn Return this past year and next.

Now you have a better idea of the scope of this transit and the kinds of changes real people make in their lives at about 30 years old. If you’re having difficult time, I recommend a full astrology reading. Your astrology chart reveals the patterns you chose to live out in this lifetime. When you focus on them, everything in your chart is geared to support this. When you forget who you are and why you’re here, when you focus on something else, nothing works well. Perhaps you’ve been noticing this lately.

For some it will mean leaving behind a lifestyle they’re accustomed to but which they have begun to realize they’re outgrowing. Others will realize they are a square peg trying to fit into a round hole and that they will never be successful until they strike off on their own to find out who they are. Some may leave behind what seems to others to be a perfectly successful job, marriage or other arrangement. But deep inside they know they are living a lie and this is the time to find out and do something about it.

If you make a move for greater authenticity at 28-30 the whole universe supports you. Usually people find it’s the most stressful time in their life. Never before or again will it be so stressful as it is for some of you. But believe it or not, it’s also easier to make a major life move now than it will ever be again, for another 30 years.
