Transforming with Your Saturn Return
Question: I seem to be in what is termed the second Saturn Return, which to me is synonymous with having basic structures pulled apart.
Actually more like having one's engine overhauled while driving the car. Which in itself seems like an impossibility, but nevertheless that is the way it feels. I endure it as an exercise in growth and consciousness in which I am harvesting and assimilating my life experience at this point and am becoming a revised version of myself.
Many times I get glimpses of new and greater understandings, including the coming of "Elderhood". Yet at other times everything seems pointless and I feel I am using my imagination to make myself feel OK about what is happening. Basically, my life is falling apart. If this is the second Saturn Return, then some corresponding experience must happen to others around the age of 56-60. Can you offer any insights into this sometimes excruciating dilemma and phase in the molting human process?

Answer: Hello, dear one! Boy, that is a grand question!
You know, when we are baby beings, we are born, come into the world, and experience a time of defining our nature. At this time we develop our ego and get a sense of our identity in life. Years later we then move into the time of the Saturn Return and cast off all parts of our self. Or let us say many parts of our self, that we understand were brought into us, from our desire to live another person's life or dreams. We then begin to create a greater sense of our identity for the years between, say, 28 to 50.
So, when come of age and enter into Elderhood, as you so elegantly placed the phrase, it is a time of doing a very similar thing. But in this case we have the foundation that exists within us of our truer identity. But now, we are getting ready to bring about into the world a celebration of our natures. We are ready to surrender to our authentic self. So again, what happens, dear one, is we begin to shed the parts of us that were there to fulfill other people's dreams and we move back into our authentic nature again.
Yes, dear one, everyone goes through this process as we gain age. But everyone will feel it in a different way because we are all individuals. Therefore, we all have our own unique expression. Some people will have a much greater difficulty in moving into Elderhood than others. Some people will just step into it and feel youthful and renewed.
So, what Alana senses in this for you, dear one, is that your life is falling away so that you can rekindle your innermost nature and surrender to it. And it feels that creativity, expression, and taking a risk, really wants to be a part of it as well. It feels that you are beginning to create simplicity in your life. You are beginning to look at your values and your needs and what is really important to you. It also feels that this simplicity is going to give you so much freedom to attract to you some very grand possibilities. Through these possibilities, your choices feel that they will support personal expansion.
Your spiritual nature is unfolding and your spiritual truths are expanding. It feels that your vibration is elevating more and more. You are finding more of yourself. And you are finding that you are not responsible for the universe, you know. You are learning how to be responsible for yourself each day, honor what brings you joy, and discover how you can serve others by being true to yourself. You will end up creating a life for you, where you will eventually bring back to yourself much meaningful work, and much meaningful relationship.
So, dear one, thank you for your question. And I hope that others can hear this question and recognize that our mature age is a time of really being authentic; and therefore, we can contribute back to the whole, much that we have learned from our grand expression.
Thank you, dear one, so much for being who you are.
--Alana
