Saturn Return in Aquarius
A return occurs when a planet comes back to the exact location in the zodiac it was at when you were born. This can signal an important period for the planet involved. Saturn returns are perhaps the most fabled. With Saturn being the Lord of karma, this is no surprise!
Your Saturn return occurs every 27 – 32 years, so we experience 2 – 3 in our lives. The first Saturn return is often the one that brings major lessons, and we have to face things we’ve been avoiding and come to terms with what has been weighing on us. It’s one of the astrological transits signaling the turn to adulthood, and it tends to be quite serious. Your second and third Saturn returns are supposed to be easier – if you’ve learned the lessons, anyway!
If you were born with Saturn in Aquarius, you’ll experience your Saturn return at some point in the next 3 years. This may be a time when you have to work on embracing individuality, stay true to yourself, develop confidence in your intelligence, and secure your place in the world.

Cancer
This may be a period where you have to get serious about business partnerships, joint finances, and mutually-beneficial ventures professionally.

Leo

Virgo
Saturn in Aquarius can be a great period for you to focus on your work life and doing work that you’re really invested in and care about.

If you already do something you love, and you’re doing it the right way, this can be a great time for progress and recognition.
Libra
This period is likely focused on love for you, so professionally, you need to be doing something you love. If you don’t, you may hate it more. You can channel creative energy productively, and this can help you avoid creative blocks that may try to come up. A good connection to your heart can help you manage this time better.
Scorpio
Saturn in Aquarius traverses the bottom of your birth chart, so this can be a time focused on the foundation. That can be your personal, internal foundation as well as the foundation for every aspect of your life, including professionally. You may feel that you’re starting from the ground up in some ways, and you can reach heights in about fifteen years.
Sagittarius
You can be an idea person at times, and Saturn in Aquarius wants you to drill down on those ideas and do something tangible with them. Focus on the ideas you really care about and use them to make progress professionally and create the kind of career you want. Using your mind and intellect can be an asset to you.
Capricorn
Saturn moves out of your sign, which can be a bit of a relief! You can now focus on maintaining stability and security, and you can give a lot of attention to your finances to do so. This is a time for saving and thinking about your long-term financial plans, and you can pursue professional opportunities that you feel benefit you financially.
Aquarius:
Saturn moves into your sign in Aquarius, and this can be a time when you’re taking on lots of responsibilities and assessing your life, including professionally. You can be more goal-oriented, and this can help you focus on goals and use ambition properly. You do have to approach your goals in the right way and for the right reasons.
Pisces:
Saturn in Aquarius can be a time of deep purging in your life, and you’re releasing a lot of baggage that’s been holding you back over the next few years. You may be more comfortable in the background professionally as a result and can stay out of the spotlight for now.
