If healing was just about insight, you’d be done by now. At some point, the work asks for something else. Not more understanding. Not better language. But a different kind of contact, one that can meet what surfaces without rushing to fix it, explain it, or move past it. That’s where the real work begins.

Saturn Return doesn’t arrive with a warning. One day, life just starts shifting beneath your feet. Relationships unravel, identities crack open, and the structures you’ve relied on stop holding. It’s disorienting, confronting, and wildly transformative. But beneath the chaos is an initiation: a dismantling of who you thought you were, and an emergence into who you’re meant to become.

When life feels disorienting, old versions of yourself resurface, and the impulse to push through intensifies, you may be traversing a “portal” — a threshold between who you were and who you’re becoming. Let’s explore key signs you’re in this liminal space, and some gentle guidance on how to move through it with presence, compassion, and embodied awareness.
