I would sum it up like this: the universe takes you, cut you up into little pieces and grinds you down, throws you into a huge metal pot, melts you down, and finally cast you into a new mold of yourself for the future.

it's that time of your life where you should begin the transition from being a young and carefree person into something of a resemblance of adulthood.


Ok, wow. That's basically how I've been feeling lately and felt like the Universe was asking me to kind of step up. Glad to see that you've described pretty much what's happening here.

I'm feeling somewhat depressed with where I am with my life right now and I don't know if I should push it or take time to recover.

Much like a plutonian.

You die. And reborn again.

Accept the death. That's all you have to do.


Thanks for your answer. I do feel like it's a form of death. I've been trying to accelerate it by decluttering and giving away old clothes and things. Stuff from my past are coming back and I'm trying to make peace with it but it's really hard. I want this to be over fast.

I went through mine, and there was a lot of major changes but honestly I feel like I’m still going through it, like i didn’t learn what I needed and it’s giving me the lesson again. I’m having a lot of events repeat itself except with different people, and I feel like I’m constantly paying off my karmic debt. It’s like damn universe , I’m trying !

Let go of the things that does not serve you purpose anymore , wether it be jobs , relationships, friends, goals.... pursue those things you’ve been putting off. Confront problems that’s you’ve been running away from ... and take time for yourself . Self reflect. Research. Grow

Ah, thank you for your answer !

I'm going to confront my problems head on by starting a therapy next week. I feel like there are past traumas I haven't really dealt with even if I thought I had. I've let go of friends and material things a lot, probably why I'm feeling down at the moment. It feels good but also scary.

I'm convinced taking care of these things will help other things change in my life and achieve my goals (professional life right now is flat af), it's like a massive energy block.

I decided that I should push my boundaries, and I do not regret that decision. Sitting there feeling sorry for yourself? Only forces you to dwell on the things that are not going well.

Get off your ass, the transition is happening whether you like it or not. Might as well make lemonade out of lemons. 😊

Thanks for your input ! I guess you're right, but I'm also at a point of frustration where whenever I take action and it doesn't pay off I end up disappointed or angry. I need to find a way to let go of expectations.

When I had mine, I spent 9+ months somewhere and made no friends... thne returned to whre my "old" friends were and realized I had no friends.. major assessment of who I surround myself with and who I am and how I am with relationships + people etc... a few of you might remember me posting on xmas about being alone and even relatives didn't want to hang around. saturn return was brutal

BUT

two things

1. its not SO brutal if, unlike me, you've spent lots of time actually putting work in and being responsible already. if that, then saturn return is a time where you see the fruits of your labor...

for most of us though its a real cosmic kick in the ass lol

2. who I am NOW... just over a year or two (or three? Im a little drunk rn) Later, I am a better person. I realize now how to be a better friend. I recognize who is real in my life, and give energy to these people. I also have a killer radar (and this is , on top of what already was a killer radar) for who people are,but now, specifically in relation to me. i.e. who really cares and who doesnt.

in short.... no matter who tells you what, it is good in the end. painful at first but good in the end. if you are depressed, shit, lol be depressed... be sad and allow it to be consuming but once you have expressed this energy you'll see what youneed to do. itll pass. whatever youare doing is what youare supposed to be doing


Thank you, thank you ! It looks like you went through what I'm experiencing now. I've let go of people who clearly don't care but I cared so much (I feel stupid about it) that I'm a bit hurt and sad. I feel alone too as I've been in a new town for a year, so these "fake friends" were also all I had here. I guess it's necessary though if I want to be a better friend and build meaningful friendships. I'm glad you were able to grow from all of this.

Drink responsibly 😉

You have to let go of things that no longer work out for you and that includes old expectations. Imagine it like swimming against a hard current, after a while you'll get tired and drown.

Instead, swim with the current that's already flowing anyway and accept new destinations.

I like this image of swimming with the current. I guess I don't really see where the current is actually going right now ? It feels like it's totally stagnant. I might need to meditate on that to see more clearly.

Saturn in Scorp here.

I swear mine started in 2010 but didn't officially start till 2012. I literally lost the people who were the closest to me. Went thru rounds of depression, grief, panic attacks, severe anxiety where I felt like a electric current running thru my veins and it only stopped after the last death I dealt with. The me that I formally knew was no more...and tbh I still feel the effects of all that today. It was brutal and I really have no idea how I survived it. Dark dark time in my life.

I was already a pretty responsible person and doing what I thought needed to be done etc but and I hate to even say this...those people who were the closest to me were also the ones that held me back...not that I went on to do great things because I didnt, I haven't but they just kept me stuck in some infinite loop of...I don't know how to describe it... the best thing I can come up with is some sort of weird co dependency.

Best advice is don't try and fight it....just let it do its thing.

Ahhh can't wait for the next one! 🙄😬😆

Don't die. Anything that has to do with dying, avoid it 100% because most likely it'll end like final destination so if you only avoid at 99% , the other 1% will be enlarged. It's like when you played beat the groundhog at the fair. When you pounded one hole, it popped up from another. So you must take gasoline, pour it all over the machine, throw a match at it and burn that mother fucka down to ashes.

I'd like to see it pop up now.

So, just stay alive and you'll learn all the lessons you need to learn after it has passed. But if you die then Saturn won. Don't let that BITCH win.

Exactly. Do not let Saturn beat you down, for whatever reason. You may feel like giving up many times. Just do what is necessary and what you feel called to do. I think mine is just about ending, maybe even not because shit is still happening. I have a clearer idea of what I don't want however! Exactly what I don't want and its inspired me to do better. Let go of things but don't destroy everything. The point is to preserve what is really you and grow upon that.

Sorry to read that it involved many losses for you @LostinmyMind11

I don't think I even know how to just let it do its thing. I decided yesterday to start a therapy to deal with my difficulties to let go of things and deal with mental blockages. I want to be proactive about it as much as possible.
