Saturn Return / getting older

Q:

Dear Karly,
Iโ€™ve been listening to Elderberry Wine on repeat since its release and itโ€™s made me so excited for the new album!
Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m definitely going through some transitional and highly transformative years, but Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m not steeped in the uncertainty that pervaded my early/mid 20โ€™s. Aging so far has been such an incredible process. Iโ€™ve learned sosososososos much ESPECIALLY this year and that shit HURTS but it also feels so GOOD to know. Still learning of courseโ€ฆ but damn is it easier to navigate life with a fully formed brain.
