HAVING A CONSCIOUS SATURN RETURN

PLAN YOUR MOVES
For all of my beautiful clientle, students, friends and family who are going through your Saturn return, this is for YOU!
I have had passion for Astrology from the age of seven when I picked up my mothers’ large book by Linda Goodman on sun signs. For sure it triggered the memory of so many of my past lives and I can actually remember thinking at that time, “ I am here to be an Astrologer”. And thus the journey began.
By the time I was ten master healers and psychics and metaphysicians and just plain magical people would kind of appear out of now where and spend time teaching me. Considering I grew up in a very remote part of the world in the Yukon territory with very young parents with no great education, this was pretty unusual. By the time I was fifteen I was being schooled in such things as mediumship, akashic records, exorcisms, plant and energy healing. This life trend has never ended. I have never been in a hurry to go to the next step. I have a profound love for this experience called earthly life, and savour every single step along the way. Time as we know it goes faster than we ever realize. So many people end up old with the shocking reality that life is almost over and they never really got ‘into’ it.
Being a wise Astrologer is something that takes a lifetime, or many lifetimes. I knew from the onset that the actual career would not begin until my children had grown and I had first of all the time, and second of all the accumulation of many years of experience.
As an Astrologer, my soul has chosen to have what seems like 5 lifetimes already. I believe that it has been necessary to be able to sit in a reading and have massive amounts of empathy and compassion because very often I have been in the same situation as the person who is sitting in front of me having a reading.
Life has settled down. The really difficult lessons behind me. The ego completely dissolved, and nervous system rebuilt and the heart soft again. Yesterday my eldest daughter turned twenty eight and is in her first Saturn Return. Elexa this is for you!

LOVE YOUR CHILDHOOD , LEAVE YOUR CHILDHOOD
BECOMING AN ADULT
If you are born in North America you fall into a rather unique generation of multicultural mixing. For a relatively very short period of time North America has been colonized by the european race and more recently the asians also. Most of us have have a sorted ethnicity. I am a classic example. My great grandparents spoke a combination of five different languages; coming from five different regions of the world. My parents only speak english. My blood line is not what you would call pure lineage! With the loosening of social rules this trend is only continuing. We are a multi cultural time period.
In a way it gives us more freedom than our ancestors. We are free to choose our religion, our partners and or life path. It is a big responsibility and we are generally not something we are up to at the age of twenty one!
What has happened also with this mixing and new freedom is that parents have dropped the cultural and religious rules that bound them to tradition. This has its positive and negative repercussions. The one I want to address today is the transition from childhood to adulthood. In many ancient cultures there a specialized rituals and rites so that you are very clear that you have moved into a place of greater responsibility. In our culture with a higher degree of codling, young people are not quiet sure. I am here to shed some light on that!
Also, as an aside, as I have been studying Astrology for my whole life, for the greatest part of it nobody was really interested in the subject until recently. With the spread of yoga suddenly there is actually a need to connect with the ancient source of wisdom and guess what, Astrology is one the the main limbs of the Vedas. The point here is that since most people had no real interest in listening to what I considered to be super interesting astrological facts and observations, made most peoples’ eyes glaze over. This drought has ended! Why? Because the younger generation is practicing yoga!
It never really occurred to me before recently how it would go, but I find that most of my clientle is the younger generation of radically awesome devoted Yoginis and Yogis! This means that many of my readings and care is for those of you who are going through your first Saturn return.
Let me demystifiy the experience by instilling one major concept of the Saturn return:

YOUR FIRST SATURN RETURN (28-31ish) IS THE TIME OF BECOMING AN ADULT.
By the time I was in my Saturn return I was a practicing registered massage & hydrotherapist,having my second child and writing my exams to become a professional western astrologer. Now my first born is having her Saturn return. Imagine. Life goes by so very quickly. One thing I know forsure is that if you have a CONSCIOUS SATURN RETURN you are helping yourself with your general lifepath.

CONSCIOUS SATURN RETURN
This cycle will last two and a half years. There is plenty of time to focus on the process. It is not difficult. Simply spend a lot of time in self reflection.
Examine your life to this point and review all of those times in your life that have you blocked emotionally and all the times that were great and had the opposite effect.
DO A LOT OF JOURNALING
Imagine that you are your own therapist. Write down events piece by piece and actually relive them as much as possible. When you are complete take the journal and burn it in a ritualistic way of letting it go into the either. Find the lesson learned, the wisdom gained and gratitude for the experience. Understand that the journey is yours and your soul has on some deeper level chosen to have the experience however painful. If you can let go of the pain of abandonment and abuse now during your Saturn Return you do not bring it forward into your adult years. Everybody will win.
It may take several times of going through even one event until you truly feel you have integrated the wisdom and let go of the pain body. You will know when you are free of the painbody when the thought of the experience no longer gives you an emotional reaction and you can just look at it as the necessary journey of your soul. Bring the wisdom forward to your post Saturn return life of adulthood.
HAVE THERAPY
Doing it alone is almost impossible for most of us. We are designed to heal each other. There are some amazing healers in the world. When you listen to their story very often they have been through very tough situations which has caused them to become healers. The quote,”healer heal thyself “ is vey true.
There are so many different techniques to healing. Do what draws you in. For me personally , in my twenties I did a lot of past life regressions. It really helped me connect to memories that were lodged in my subconscious that needed revisiting and releasing. It helped me connect with the greater me and understand why I had particular cravings and repulsions for example. Whatever comes to your world is ok. What is important is that you feel comfortable with your healer.
Here is a big rule: If you do not feel comfortable with your therapist on any level keep looking until you find the one that really resonates with you. Have as many different therapists and forms of therapy that you feel you need.
ALLOW YOURSELF TO LET GO AND GROW UP
The world is all too full of mature looking people who have never really grown up; your parents may fall into that category. For whatever reason, they were never given the direction, or they never took the direction seriously, so are left in aging bodies with young emotional bodies. It is never too late to grow up, but nobody can grow you up but you. You cannot make another grow up, not even your parents. Focus on your own personal growth. The very fact that you make a decision to become a full blown adult will only serve you and also act as an example for others.
DON’T STOP
Life itself is a school. If you sign up for real, consciously, you will never stop learning and growing, that is why beautiful mature people who are very wise are the most attractive thing going. A true wise man or woman, however, walks their talk, jus to to be clear.
CREATE A LIFE PATH PLAN
This is not a test.
You can change your mind at any time, but if you take lots of time to reflect on major things that you want in your life like: having children or not, where would you raise them, what careers do you want to develop an where, where will you like to live, what countries will you like to see, what habits would you like to develop , what type of friends and experiences do you want….these sort of life path questions.
ENJOY THE PROCESS
During your Saturn return you take a long view look at your life. Once you review what you obviously like and don not like, where your passions take you naturally, you will begin to see a pattern. Study that pattern closely so you can get to understand your natural nature.
In seeing this pattern you can make a general life path plan. Don’t be afraid. There have been many studies done on human nature and those who tend to reach their goals are those who actually have goals. Just because you create a desired life path does not mean you know the details of your karma.
As I write this article I am sitting in an exotic tropical island enjoying sunrise and birds and great music. I am content. When I went through my Saturn return I made an overall plan that once my kids grew up I would spend a great deal of time in exotic tropical places. All too fast that has happened.
So, take the responsibility of leaving as my eldest just said to me the other day, “child life’ behind.
If you are going through your Saturn return you are no longer a child.
It is time to embrace becoming an adult.
Enjoy the two and half year period do do what your souls is telling you. Let your child hood go and step into the world as a fully responsible, willing, conscious adult.

THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!
Namaste, Love Only. Paddi
