One other important thing to remember about Saturn returns and transits of
any kind ***Saturn is Kronos, Lord of Time.  WATCH YOUR TIMING IN ALL
THINGS.  Before you act (or react) give it two nights of dreaming.
(Probably a piece of good $0.02 for anyone really).  Also, since Saturn
works with your fundemental structure and foundation of the beliefs with
which you have built your life thus far, use this time to realize that you
may need to rebuild that structure.  You have a choice -- you can choose to
take that structure apart on by yourself brick by brick, or go unconcious
and possibly end up sitting amongst the rubble moaning "What hit me?"  If
you choose the former your building material will be strong and you may
choose which bricks to re-use and which ones may contain flaws that may
weaken the new structure later on.  These you may discard.  If you choose
the latter, you will have to not only re-build the structure, but try to
find a way to make the bricks from scratch as well.  The key is
conciousness.  If you have it available check into where Chiron is in your
chart. (You can get this from and ephemeris).  Chiron is the key with which
Saturn the gate keeper opens the gate to the Self (vs. self).  Working with
the sign/house/aspects of Chiron may give you a clue to how to wend your
way down this path.
