I’m 29.

Astrologers say that my Saturn return starts now, and I can see what they’re talking about, because for some reason I just feel like everything is about to change for me. I feel like a new and different version of myself since last year, one that can do or handle anything that is thrown my way, and who is about to step into something very important.

It has nothing to do with strength, or power. I’ve actually learned it has more to do with self-love, communication, and compassion. It sounds cliche, but I feel like it’s just as simple as knowing how you show up differently from other people, and then tending to your very specific needs, and then letting other people know about your specific needs.

And it’s also about acknowledging mistakes, about accepting yourself and learning the lessons you need to learn through mirroring because heaven knows I’m not going to be that person that gets to the point where I feel like things are unchangeable or unmovable within myself, thus affecting every situation in my life.

As the Earth turns, and as the waters flow, I move along with it and with them. Noticing others and what they do and say. Learning about how much energy I can give and where. Very respectfully voicing where I can’t give energy and why.

And just sharing my life experience with my friends and family, and above all, being creative. That is where I find the most joy.

I am so excited for what’s to come. And I know that I get there by noticing all the great, exciting things that are happening today.
