Title: Embracing the Saturn Return: A Celestial Phenomenon Inspiring Personal Growth
In just two months, Alejandra Herrera will be celebrating her 30th birthday, a milestone that many in their late 20s dread. However, instead of feeling anxious about entering a new decade, Ms. Herrera, a Taurus from East Los Angeles, sees it as a time for personal growth and self-discovery.
After experiencing a turbulent period marked by depression and exhaustion from her job as an assistant manager at a vegan Mexican restaurant, Ms. Herrera recently quit her job and is now looking forward to focusing on herself in her 30s.
Ms. Herrera attributes her newfound sense of empowerment to her Saturn return, a celestial phenomenon that occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the same position in the sky as it was at the time of a person’s birth. This astrological event typically happens in one’s late 20s to early 30s and is believed to bring about significant changes and personal growth.
Astrologer Claire Comstock-Gay, who went through her own Saturn return in 2014, describes it as a time of chaos and empowerment. She believes that channeling the sense of loss and growth that comes with a Saturn return into art can be a powerful way to document and reflect on the experience.
Felix Alberto Nunez, a 27-year-old from San Pedro, Calif., also believes he is currently experiencing his Saturn return, which has inspired a renaissance in his art. He sees this period as an opportunity to expand and evolve his craft and bring his vision to life with the help of others.
The concept of a Saturn return has been a popular theme in music and culture for years, with artists like SZA, Kacey Musgraves, and Ariana Grande referencing it in their work. Astrologer Claire Comstock-Gay notes that astrology, including Saturn returns, has become a popular topic in culture and is often used as inspiration for creative expression.
As Ms. Herrera and others embrace their Saturn return as a time of personal growth and self-discovery, it serves as a reminder of the power of the cosmos to inspire and guide us through life’s transitions.
