My dumb ass just realized that.y Saturn in Leo(5th house) is retrograde so I had a return that retracts and returns itself back and was much later in my life than I thought it was. I know. Duh. But it's making sense- my friend since first grade died of a random pulmonary embolism, we were about to adopt my foster daughter who was with us since age three. She was almost 13 and her birth father appears with a new wife and the state grants full parental rights. My bipolar disorder stops responding to the meds that have been working for the past 2½ years. I have a grand mal seizure severe enough to cause a stroke. The following winter is almost completely lost in my memory. I have 3 memories I can recall,which makes me think that I maybe imagine them, because who can reach into their mind if you say a month and a year and pull out a specific event? If I say Second Wednesday in March last year.... can you give me some information without looking at a planner, or Facebook or blog? I can't.
It ended with my fellow Scorpio Pisces moon/asc. best friend who had chosen me to be the first one he told that he was transgender, the first person to do lots of girl rites of passage..my daughter had been stolen from me and replaced by a 29 year old bitch with balls stealing my clothes, and also angry that I wasn't embracing my own personal gender identity issues head on and living like "the man I know that you are" and after stealing several thousand dollars in jewelry and inventory from a mutual friend's antique shop, ran of shit talking me and slandering me and the other friend in a web comic on deviant art.com I am not in any hurry to have the second Saturn return. If we're born a week apart, he was having his Saturn return too...hm...Bitch.
I grew some balls and left my abusive husband. I also moved away from my home city for the first time (Sag Saturn) and had my first difficulties with money (2nd house). I'm learning to put the money where my values are, because I can't have everything I want, but I can have all the things that I truly do value. Right now that's getting married to my fiance (so, bought a ring), sentimentality (waited to buy the ring until we could afford something I would want to wear forever -- I'm not the type of person who could "upgrade" her ring later), and working at home (we recently bought frugal desks that are large enough to enable us to work without... sitting on each other's laps).
Brave, grisbear. 
Not looking forward to my SR. I'm approximately four months away... I've already learned an insane amount in the past few months about hard knocks.
I know Saturn is going to have more lessons I don't look forward to.

Left my job, broke up with my boyfriend, left the country and started all over again. It was a hard time in the beginning, but never regretted the decisions I took back then. The rewards came later and it felt so good...
So similar. Left my job, left the country, met some amazing people abroad. A fallout from a toxic situation at work that left me with a choice: self-destruct myself in slow motion or go against the grain and save myself now.
Saturn in 11th House natally.
On my 1st Saturn return I got pregnant but when he retrograded over natal Saturn I had a miscarriage. 2 years later when Saturn was retrograding over my natal Neptune I got pregnant again (Neptune rules my 5th) this time with a happy ending!
