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 Leo, the tests you face at your Saturn return in Leo could involve issues of pride and status. Following your passion may be rewarded while pursuing status for its own sake might be revealed as shallow. You may also discover that you can be both creative and disciplined at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The characteristics of your Saturn return in Leo 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
If your first Saturn return takes place in the sign of Leo, you may struggle with whether to prioritize a career you find personally fulfilling or a career that brings you status. No matter what you choose, you might feel like you are not getting the recognition you deserve from others for your achievements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You could need to figure out how to take pride in yourself regardless of what anyone else thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the sign of Leo can also be associated with children, deciding whether or not you want to become a parent could take on dramatic importance at your first Saturn return in Leo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may eagerly throw yourself into becoming a parent, convinced you will get right all of the things your own parents got wrong. Alternatively, you might develop clarity that you are definitely child-free. \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
At your second Saturn return in Leo, you might be at a high point in your career. You could need to reflect on whether you have gotten what you wanted out of it. If the type of self-expression you crave is not possible in your current work, you may begin planning how to get it in your upcoming retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have children, your second Saturn return in Leo could be a time when you discover that they are their own people, separate from you. Instead of trying to control their lives, you may need to focus on making your own life more fulfilling.<\/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
At your third Saturn return in Leo, you may reflect on what you have created over the course of your life that has the potential to outlive you. Whether your main focus was raising children or developing a professional body of work, you may wonder where your lifetime achievement award is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes older people feel forgotten, and this could be an especially challenging part of your third Saturn return in Leo. Though you might not be the one achieving things and taking the spotlight at this point, you may be able to connect with others by recognizing what they do well.<\/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 Leo 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 Leo 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
