Saturn Return, New Book, and a Productive Week

My Saturn return has shaped a remarkable period of productivity, from the growing success of Rohini Academy of Astrology (with a surge of astrologers understanding how important safeguarding and child protection in our profession), finishing my new book Bending the Light to being commissioned once again to write for the Australian magazine WellBeing.

This will be my fourth article for a publication that you can pick up off supermarket shelves, and I don’t mind saying that being asked back means a great deal. There is something deeply satisfying about returning on the strength of your work alone.

This next article will explore my Saturn return in more depth, building on earlier work that was featured by Apple News. It feels like a continuation of the same thread, but with more depth, more reflection, and a clearer sense of purpose.

At the same time, Bending the Light, my book on Saturn cycles, is now with my publisher. It was not an easy book to write. I restructured it three times before finally getting it into the shape it deserved. Finishing it in time for the completion of my fifth Jupiter return feels particularly meaningful.

Saturn Return and Real Work: Writing, Teaching, and Momentum

A quick Sun Sign survey

There is a version of Saturn that people often misunderstand. It is not simply about restriction or difficulty. It is about doing the work properly and seeing it through.

That has certainly been the theme here.

Alongside writing, I’ve just completed my first week at a new school placement, and it has been an absolute joy. Within the framework of the curriculum, I was able to introduce small elements of astrology—what I called a simple sun sign survey, alongside discussions about prediction, symbolism, and even a brief introduction to the classical metals associated with the planets.

Mercury as quicksilver, Venus as copper, Mars as iron.

The children were immediately engaged. There is something about these symbolic systems that speaks very naturally to young minds.

I may also have mentioned that I am an author and have appeared on YouTube. That slipped out rather quickly, but I reassured them that yes, I am famous, and they should simply get used to it.

Redecorating, Restoring, and Saturn in the Physical World

Saturn’s influence hasn’t just been intellectual—it’s been physical as well.

Over the Easter break, I redecorated the corridor from ceiling to floor. It was a substantial job, but one that has completely transformed the space. The doors are currently being stripped back to their original wood, and the stairs are in the process of being re-carpeted.

There is something deeply satisfying about restoring a space while simultaneously completing major professional work. It feels aligned, as though the internal and external worlds are being brought into order at the same time.

Astrology Talks, Events, and International Work

The coming months are full of activity.

I will be speaking at the Astrological Lodge of London on 27 April at 7:15pm, presenting work from Zeus on the Loose. There are also ongoing interviews and collaborations, including recent recordings and upcoming media content.

In May, I’ll be presenting new lectures with Steve Judd, Darby Costello, Penny Thornton and Rick Levine at the phenomenal Shifts Happens in St Albans. I am so looking forward to this! For more information, check iout this event here. This is genuinely the best astrological event in the United Kingdom. Last year, we were so successful that we were blamed for the failure of another astrology event in London (25 mikes away!) the same weekend.

You can check out this new interview with the lovely Penny Dix about my Saturn return at the end of this post.

In June, I will be the featured astrologer for Astrology Hub, and I will also be reopening my course on working responsibly with children and family charts through the Rohini Academy of Astrology.

July brings what I have decided to call my “second 30th birthday,” which I will be celebrating in the United States with family and friends, followed shortly after by my Australian tour.

Saturn Return Reflections and Looking Ahead

When I look at everything together—the writing, the teaching, the travel, the restoration—it is very clear to me that this is Saturn’s work in its most constructive form.

Not the Saturn of limitation, but the Saturn of structure, commitment, and long-term achievement.

It is about building something that lasts, and having the confidence to stand by it.

And this time, I am doing exactly that.
