In detail

Saturn Return #2: transiting Saturn completes a second full lap of about 29.5 years and reaches the natal degree again, landing near ages 58 to 60. The first return laid the frame; this one is the inspection. The career, household and identity built after 29 get checked piece by piece for what genuinely carries weight. Saturn covers roughly 2 arcminutes a day, so a 3-degree orb runs about half a year, with the same degree recrossed during the retrograde stretch. Tradition reads this passage as consolidation and handover, fit for stepping back and passing on rather than starting something new. Unlike the rare third return near 88, most people live to meet this one with enough capacity left to arrange what follows.

FAQ

At what age does the second Saturn return arrive?
Between roughly 58 and 60, about 29.5 years after the first one, with the same dependence on the natal degree and on the retrograde pattern of those particular years.
Is this a good window to start a new venture?
Tradition says no. The passage is read as consolidation and handover, so passing on what already stands pays better than opening a new front. Expansion belongs to a Jupiter return rather than to this one.
