Saturn's Return

Saturn's Return

A comedy drama about a wealthy African man. It is the story of a young, wise-cracking, black businessman living in London. Upon the death of his mother, he travels to Africa to find his father but while there, discovers far more about himself. 

The Planet Saturn acts to restrict. Saturn is often a painful, but nonetheless vital part of our development. Saturn influences may be self-inflicted or brought about by events which appear to be beyond our control. In both case Saturn teaches us, often through harsh conditions, and through limiting circumstances what we must change in ourselves before we can achieve our ambitions. At its most constructive, Saturn imparts wisdom born of a true understanding of the virtues of patience, hard work, tradition and self-discipline. If the energy of the planet Saturn is ignored, it is then that Saturn will inhibit our self-confidence, and frustrate our progress and our aims.

 

The Saturn Return is an astrological phenomenon that occurs at the ages of 27-30, 58-60, 86-88, coinciding with the time it takes the planet Saturn to make one orbit around the sun. It is believed by astrologers that as Saturn 'returns' to the degree in which it occupied at the time of birth—approximately every 29.5 years—a person crosses over a major threshold and into the next stage of life. With the first Saturn Return, a person leaves youth behind and enters adulthood. With the second Return, maturity. And the third and usually final Return, a person enters wise old age.

The first Saturn Return is famous because it represents the first test of character, and the structures upon which a person has built their life. According to traditions, should these structures be unsound, or if a person is living out of touch with his or her true values, the Saturn Return will be a time of upheaval and limitations as Saturn forces him or her to jettison old concepts, and worn out patterns of living. It is not uncommon for relationships and jobs to end during this time.
