I also saw my friend group fall apart as well as losing communication with a close friend I used to hang out a lot with. As someone who forever was an Astrology skeptic, this kind of stuff really makes you think. It's like life is telling me to stop being on the same page because another chapter has to be written.

One thing I have realized since December though is that a part of me on the inside is dying. A lot of people here know me as that bitter dude who talks **** about Scorpios and is frustrated about them being hyped up but I just had an epiphany in a way. It's like I cannot even fathom how I used to be such a bitter, angry, and hateful individual for so much of my life. I kept thinking about how situations could have been better if I had not been that bitter angry guy and how I could have made good things out of less than ideal situations.

Now reflecting back on it, I realize it was my ego that got in the way. If it was not massaged, I grew angry and blamed external circumstances rather than living a life where ego meant nothing. It is as if a death of my ego has happened as a result of everything that has gone on and it is a good thing. I feel a new kind of bliss, one where I do not take myself as seriously and my pride takes a backseat to everything. Maybe this is what they meant when they say one is supposed to humble you.

I recommend breathing easy all the time. And yes, that's when I'd say your Saturn return will be over. Saturn's effect will continue with its square to your IC/MC and opposition to your Asc. So there's no point living on edge expecting the next shoe to drop because of Satur'sn return or any other Saturn transit. Saturn is only a devil so far as we keep it that way in our minds. It can take nothing from us that is truly ours. It can do no damage that we did not already initiate with choices whose consequences were unforseen.

This is actually a feature of Saturn's return for some people that we neglect to talk about sometimes. Actually, it is a bit dependent on how it is positioned in your chart and/or what other transits accompany it. You've had

I love it when people have these epiphanies like you have. Trust me, I've had to deal with losses and anger too since Covid happened. A close friend died and there was no memorial service of any kind. And I had a falling out with a group and closest friend within that group. So I can relate to what you've been going through.

But these epiphanies — they're gold. So keep it and keep the door open for more. Keep that Venus influence strong for its maximum benefits.

I did the work and my Saturn Return officially ends at the end of March itself so April is when technically, I might be a lot more home free than having to deal with Saturn's upheaval. Then again, Uranus and Saturn square each other all year in two fixed signs and I have a lot of fixed energy in my chart so 2022 in general is supposed to suck for me from what they say. Well suck might not be the right word to use but be more difficult for me than I would like for it to be.

My detailed observations have led me to use a 5.5° orb on the applying side. The effect of Saturn drops off quicker on the back end (separating side), but I still consider the 5.5° orb to mark the completion in full of Saturn's return (or any other aspect) because aspects are aggregate in their effects, not singular. So even if Saturn's return effect drops way off after it has separated by say 4°, other planetary transit aspects to natal Saturn will add energy to it until it is out of range (5.5°).

Making a note for myself on this thread.

Transit Saturn reaches 5°applying orb to my natal 9H Aquarius Saturn on February 13, 2022

Exacts on: March 31, August 13 (Rx), December 27

Leaves orb of influence (outermost 5°) by February 2023

Saturn rules my 7th (and 8th) Houses… I wonder what kind of commitment is conjuncting. Most likely.. committing to my immigration, establishing firm (independent) roots here, like property, profession, contracts—it’s a lot of hardwork (albeit, meant for me) to apply such a fixed foundation, alone. The past 7 years I’ve been off and on living abroad: uncertainty, insecurity, foreignness, “homelessness” etc

I guess, relatively, I first moved overseas when transit Saturn was last square-aspect interval my 9H Saturn
