The Age Factor:
When delineating a chart, it is important to know what age and what stage of maturity your client has reached. It is also important if you study your client's cultural background if you are working with someone who resides in a country different from yours. Age, level of maturity and culture play an enormous role in how one's life develops. For example, you would read the chart for an American teenager much differently than you would a 50 year old adult who lives in Australia.
Also, certain ages correspond to certain key aspects that describe the life stage a client has reached. The first Saturn return is key for people who are 29 to 30 years old, just as the second Saturn return is key for people who have reached the age of 59-60. Still, the first Saturn return speaks of a different rite of passage from the second Saturn Return. At the first Return, the young adult now faces choices that will lead him/her towards defining a secure life path. The second Saturn Return is one where the client has reached the pinnacle of career success and steps into the role of "wise one" while projecting into the retirement years.
Each person negotiates life's passages differently and in a way unique to the life. However, the age factor keys apply to everyone. Regardless of how radical or mainstream the lifestyle, each individual will face the same life passages. Addressing these issues in your readings will not only improve your accuracy, but will earn you respect from your clients.
Saturn Cycles:
Saturn resides in a sign for about 2 1/2 years. Saturn takes approximately 29 1/2 years to cycle the 12 signs of the zodiac. Dividing 29 1/2 by 12 equates to 2.4583333... years. Slight variances in retrograde cycles allow us to round the Saturn cycle out to about 29 1/2 years. Not everyone is born with Saturn conjunct the Ascendant (as I am) or in the first house. Saturn entered the sign of Taurus on February 28, 1999 and will remain in this Venus ruled sign for 2 1/2 years. Locate the house in which your Saturn resides and adapt the Saturn Table below to conform to where Saturn is posited in your chart. A nice way to work with this table is to take a blank chart wheel and copy this data to it. Then you can rotate the wheel to line up with your natal Saturn.
