Saturn's a returnin'

Today is my 28 and a half birthday. According to what I have learned about astrology, Saturn makes it first triumphant return on this very day. Saturn has been described to me as the ass kicking planet. It represents restrictions, limitations, and hard learned lessons. From what I understand the change and growth that comes from Saturn is permanent and life changing. A person's Saturn return is the time period when Saturn returns to the exact place in the sky as when you were born. Saturn takes 28.5 years to make its trip around and return to that exact position and the affects of a Saturn return can be felt the years surrounding this point. So here I am face to face with the restrictions and constrictions of Ms. Saturn. My Saturn is in Virgo so my lessons are supposed to come in the form of work, service, organization, and health. I can feel it too, the rightness of my career choice and the foreverness of the idea of a career. I am so used to things having a clear end in sight. But with a career you like in an area you also like, it gets daunting. There is no end. This just may keep going on and on with my annual 2 weeks off. I'm guessing my lesson in all this is to find my peace with that or to find a way to live that balances out all my needs. I'm hoping going through this process will magically make me an organized person as well. I think in a very organized manner but that skill somehow never leaked out of my brain and into my clutter. Health wise I have been making an effort to stick with a swimming routine (2.5 months and still going!) as well as making some smart choices around not eating gluten or too much sugar (they just ruin me). I guess I see this day as a turning point. If a person is supposed to feel the affects of Saturn's return the year or so before and after 28.5 years, I guess I'm half way though. No where to go but up.
