Ready to see another side of Saturn?

If you're going through with Saturn or if you ever get anxious about Saturn transits, this episode will give you some powerful reframes and grounding that will help you embrace the challenges Saturn can manifest.

In this episode of Self Help Witch, you’re in for a treat – I’m sharing a recent reflective astrology reading I had the pleasure of doing for my friend Kearstin.

Reflective astrology is a healing practice in which we examine the chart of a challenging moment or period to gain spiritual perspective.

In this reading, we looked at a pivotal moment in Kearstin's life – from late 2022 to early 2023 – that, turns out, was part of a textbook Saturn return!

Within this short time, Kearstin graduated with her M. Div, moved across the country, and experienced her first queer love. And we can see it all in the chart!

You'll hear first-hand how reflective astrology creates the conditions for processing and healing from life's most challenging moments – all while getting a first-hand account of what a Saturn return in the 12th house can look like.
