A Saturn return is a momentous event that happens to you every 29.4 years that you are alive. This time, when Saturn returns to the same place in the Zodiac where it was when you are born, brings the major structures of your life up for review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, not all Saturn returns are identical. Saturn goes through the same 12 Zodiac signs that the Sun does, but Saturn takes 29.4 years to complete the trip, while the Sun only takes one year. You, therefore, have a Saturn sign that is not necessarily the same as your Sun sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have Saturn in Gemini, your Saturn returns in Gemini may test how effectively you communicate and build relationships with the people in your life. Your lessons could include learning to listen as well as you talk. You might also have to work to see rivalries and conflicts in an objective way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The characteristics of your Saturn return in Gemini may also vary based on the house where Saturn is located in your natal chart. While the first Saturn return that happens in your late twenties is well known, many people also go on to have second and third Saturn returns that revisit similar themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your first Saturn return takes place when you are in your late twenties. The first Saturn return gets the most attention because so many big life choices seem to come to a head then. You may begin or end a significant relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might begin or end a commitment to a particular career. You could even become a parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When your first Saturn return takes place in the sign of Gemini, you may become aware of deficiencies in how you communicate with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your early relationships with siblings at peers and school were difficult for you, you may need to look at whether the workarounds you developed to deal with your challenges are still working for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you experience drama in your relationships at your first Saturn return in Gemini, you might look at whether you are competing with your co-workers or perceived romantic rivals in a way that reminds you of sibling rivalry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may need to learn to see the people around you as complex individuals rather than as characters in your own inner theater.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your second Saturn return takes place when you are in your late fifties. While your first Saturn return may have had you establishing yourself in your career, your second Saturn return could have you thinking seriously about retirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you may have married or become a parent at your first Saturn return, you could be experiencing an empty nest at your second Saturn return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The empty nest type of second Saturn return could be especially dramatic for Saturn in Gemini, as you might have to re-learn how to communicate with your partner without the distraction of children around. You could also have to re-learn how to communicate with your children who aren\u2019t children anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t have a partner or children, your second Saturn return in Gemini might be a time when you make decisions about nurturing other relationships that will support you in the later years of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While most readers are probably on their first or second Saturn returns, imagining your third Saturn return, when you are in your late eighties, can be a helpful exercise. Where do you want to be toward the end of your life, and what do you have to do now to get there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your third Saturn return in Gemini may test how well you have stayed connected with people throughout your life. If you have not figured out how to communicate in a satisfying way, you might be lonely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you have put in the effort to stay in touch, the people you care about could come through for you when you need them at your third Saturn return in Gemini.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you have relationships you are happy with, you may wonder if you have told your loved ones all of the stories you want them to know. Your third Saturn return in Gemini could be a great time to share your life\u2019s accumulation of wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people born within a couple of years of you will have Saturn in the same sign that you do, as Saturn stays in each sign for about two and a half years during its 29.4-year cycle. However, not all Saturn returns in Gemini are identical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing the house in your astrological chart where your Saturn return takes place can help you understand why your experience of a Saturn return in Gemini might differ from that of some of your peers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your time of birth is known, your astrological chart can be divided into twelve houses, each focusing on a different area of life. The house in your birth chart where Saturn is located is also the house where your Saturn return will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
