Sign up for Cosmic Capacity: my astrology newsletter that gives you rising sign horoscopes, breaks down the key transits, and offers simple tips for you to stay grounded and intentional, no matter what life throws your way: https://stan.store/chartedbysarahmichelle Saturn returns get a wildly bad reputation online. Somewhere between pop astrology fear-mongering and exaggerated horror stories, they’ve turned into this thing people brace for instead of understand. In this episode, we slow it all the way down and talk about what Saturn returns actually are, why they happen to everyone, and why they’re not here to ruin your life. Saturn isn’t punishment, it’s a reset. It’s the moment you’re asked to take responsibility for the parts of your life that aren’t sustainable anymore and build something that actually works for who you’re becoming. Tune in as we walk you through what Saturn represents in astrology and why this transit is really about accountability, boundaries, and long-term infrastructure. We explore Saturn in Pisces and Saturn in Aries specifically, and explain how your Saturn’s house matters just as much as the sign, because that’s where the work shows up most clearly. We also share personal stories from our own Saturn returns, including how these transits reshaped our careers, relationships, identities, and sense of direction. What You'll Discover:Why Saturn returns happen around ages 27–30 and why they’re a universal life milestone.How to find Saturn in your chart and why the house placement matters so much.The difference between Saturn in Pisces and Saturn in Aries themes and what each transit asks of you.Why Saturn slows things down on purpose and how that creates long-term stability.How Saturn returns bring endings and beginnings without being “bad” or punitive.What responsibility, boundaries, and accountability look like during a Saturn return.How to prepare for a Saturn return with more capacity and less fear.

Sign up for Cosmic Capacity: my astrology newsletter that gives you rising sign horoscopes, breaks down the key transits, and offers simple tips for you to stay grounded and intentional, no matter what life throws your way: https://stan.store/chartedbysarahmichelle February is one of those months where astrology says, “Okay, let’s slow down and pay attention.” In this episode, we’re walking through February’s monthly mood board and why it feels so full.

We walk through Aquarius season themes for every rising sign and share practical ways to work with the energy instead of bracing against it. Big month, yes, but manageable when you know what you’re looking at.

By the end, we hope you feel a deeper sense of connection to your chart and to yourself. This approach makes the zodiac feel like a real tool for understanding where you’ve been, where you’re growing next, and why you’re experiencing certain themes right now.What You'll Discover:Why the zodiac works best as a story, and why your chart feels clearer when you read it that way.How each sign hands a lesson to the next and what that reveals about your own growth cycles.What your Sun, Moon, and Rising contribute to your personal narrative.How to use this storytelling lens to make sense of confusing or “contradictory” placements.Why every chapter in your chart serves a purpose in your evolution.

This week, we explore three transits that can feel a little haunted: Mercury Retrograde, Saturn Return, and Pluto transits. You’ll learn why these moments might feel intense, what they’re trying to teach you, and how to work with the “ghosts” that pop up instead of getting spooked. From Mercury’s classic communication chaos to Saturn’s tough-love lessons on boundaries and accountability, and Pluto’s deep transformation energy, this episode reframes each transit as an opportunity for growth (and maybe even laugh along the way).  By the end, you’ll know which of these transits might be knocking on your chart’s door - and how to handle their jump scares with self-compassion and understanding. What You'll Discover:Why Mercury Retrograde creates communication chaos and tech troubles, plus how to navigate its three-week cycles.How Saturn Returns forces you to rebuild on solid foundations every 29-30 years.What makes Pluto transits feel like the deepest haunting and why they can last for decades..The difference between Mercury's quick replays, Saturn's responsibility checks, and Pluto's total transformations.Practical strategies for working with each transit instead of running from the discomfort.Why certain years feel more intense based on your chart ruler and house placements.How to use awareness and self-compassion to make spooky transits feel less scary.Visit for more information: https://cosmicgroupchat.com/ Come join the chat @CosmicGroupChatPod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmicgroupchatpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cosmicgroupchatpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CosmicGroupChatMentioned in this episode:Join my newsletter: Cosmic CapacityEvery week, I send out Cosmic Capacity: my astrology newsletter that gives you rising sign horoscopes, breaks down the key transits, and offers simple tips for you to stay grounded and intentional, no matter what life throws your way.

They’re messages from your shadow, the part of your chart that holds the traits you’ve suppressed to stay safe, loved, or in control. When you ignore these parts of yourself, they get louder, showing up as overreactions, burnout, or that thing you swore you’d “worked through” already.In this episode, we explore shadow work through the lens of astrology. We talk about how transformation and release happen here, and how each element expresses its own “shadow monster.” By the end, you’ll know how to identify your own shadow themes, name your monster, and redirect that energy into something that serves you.What You'll Discover:How the 8th and 12th houses reveal your personal “basement and attic” for shadow work.Why your shadow isn’t evil — it’s the part of you that learned to protect yourself.The signature shadow monsters for each element.How to ask what your reactions are trying to keep you safe from.Ways to turn your shadow into an ally through awareness, boundaries, and compassion.Featured On the Show:18.

But here’s the truth: Saturn isn’t here to make your life miserable. It’s here to make it real. Think of Saturn as the cosmic architect, personal trainer, and slightly intimidating mentor who knows what you’re capable of — and won’t let you coast.In this episode, we’re reframing Saturn from “strict parent” to “wise teacher.” We talk about how Saturn shows up through the elements, and what it’s actually asking of you in your chart. We also analyze Saturn’s trickier placements (looking at you, Aries, Cancer, Leo, and Pisces) with compassion, real examples, and practical ways to work with the pressure instead of fighting it.By the end, you’ll see Saturn for what it really is: not the villain of your chart, but the steady hand helping you build something that actually lasts.What You'll Discover:Why Saturn’s “tough love” is actually long-term care.How each element experiences Saturn’s lessons differently.What Saturn in Aries, Cancer, Leo, and Pisces is really trying to teach you.How to recognize when you’re in a Saturn season — and why you can’t ignore it.What the Saturn return actually is (and what it isn’t).The difference between chasing perfection and practicing consistency.Practical ways to support your Saturn placement with boundaries, patience, and self-respect.Visit for more information: https://cosmicgroupchat.com/Come join the chat @CosmicGroupChatPod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmicgroupchatpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cosmicgroupchatpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CosmicGroupChatMentioned in this episode:Join my newsletter: Cosmic CapacityEvery week, I send out Cosmic Capacity: my astrology newsletter that gives you rising sign horoscopes, breaks down the key transits, and offers simple tips for you to stay grounded and intentional, no matter what life throws your way.
