Q:
Dear Karly,
I’ve been listening to Elderberry Wine on repeat since its release and it’s made me so excited for the new album!
I’ve just finished going through my Saturn Return and am about to turn 30 and the shifts and changes I have experienced throughout the last 2 years have felt like a real journey towards self actualisation and getting closer to who I’ve always wanted to be.
I guess my question for you, as someone of a simile age, do you fuck with the concept of your Saturn Return and what have your findings/feelings been so far?
A:
Yoooooo I’m definitely going through some transitional and highly transformative years, but I’ve always had trouble of seeing them in an astrological context. For whatever reason that lens never stuck with me. BUT I def think the late twenties/early thirties is like life defining shit.
I made a ton of changes in my life in the past couple of years once I was really able to think critically about what I wanted/needed from my life. I was able to take those needs seriously enough to put in the work to orient myself towards what I learned about myself in those years.
Every year/month/day that passes I solidify into my sense of self more and more and I am sooooo grateful I’m not steeped in the uncertainty that pervaded my early/mid 20’s. Aging so far has been such an incredible process. I’ve learned sosososososos much ESPECIALLY this year and that shit HURTS but it also feels so GOOD to know. Still learning of course… but damn is it easier to navigate life with a fully formed brain.
