The three phases (2034–2041)
Rising Saturn in Cancer
12/07/2034 → 27/08/2036
Spending, sleep, travel and distant places, letting go of what's done — costs often arrive before rewards.
Saturn is in an unfriendly sign here — traditionally more friction.
Peak Saturn in Leo
27/08/2036 → 12/07/2039
Mood, health habits, energy and how you see yourself — the heaviest stretch, and the one that builds the most.
Saturn is in an unfriendly sign here — traditionally more friction.
Setting Saturn in Virgo
22/10/2038 → 26/09/2041
Savings, family, what you say and how you eat — slower gains that tend to last.

How are these dates calculated?
