When we think of the transition into adulthood most would reflect back upon their angst-filled years of adolescence. In astrology, it's a bit different. The time where we put on our new adult skin comes when we are rebirthed, occurring sometime in the late twenties at a planetary transit called "The Saturn Return."

Hope Lopez gives us the "Hour of My Saturn Return."
