The Saturn Return
FOR ASTROLOGY THERE ARE two particularly critical junctures in the life of any individual, the first at the end of their twenties, and the second at the end of their fifties. Called the Saturn Return, these are the two occasions the planet Saturn completes its orbit around the sun and returns to the position it occupied at your birth. Seen negatively, these times border on nervous and mental breakdown; seen positively, they are crises that put you back in touch with your own deeper nature. I can’t answer for the theory, but I can vouch for the fact that these two occasions were the times of the most dramatic self-confrontation in my own life; and it was with the second of the two that LSD was to reenter my life.
