  • Summary

  • Going through a quarter-life crisis? Let this be the best thing that ever happens to you.


    Everyone knows about the mid-life crisis. Not everyone can explain the tumultuous twenties though, or why your world sometimes feels like it's crashing down on you around the age of 27-30. It's put down to just being "something that happens" - immaturity; growing up. That's why I started this podcast. It is indeed a rite of passage, and this is all thanks to the Saturn Return. Roughly every 29.5 years, Saturn returns back to the same place in our birth chart as it was when we were born. It has a wide, sweeping orbit, so the effects of this can be felt well into our 30s, often starting around age 27. Saturn is the teacher planet. The one that is stern, showing no mercy if you have not learned the first quarter of your life’s lessons by heart. So rest assured that by the time it comes back to check on how your life is going, like a snooty invigilator roaming the exam hall to come peering over your shoulder when you least expect it, you better not be caught cheating or bunking off your path. Saturn will disqualify you or if you're more fortunate, simply make make you re-sit.


    Using passages from Aliza Einhorn's The Little Book of Saturn, I take a look at our guest's birth charts to see in what sign and house their Saturn is placed, and exactly when their Saturn Return is expected to happen/has already happened. I compare Aliza's predictions to our guests' reality, in an attempt to explore the lessons their Saturn Return has taught them, how the challenges have made them stronger, or if they haven't already had this rite of passage - how to pave the way to a smooth and seamless one.


    The Saturn Return made me want to die because I didn't know what it was. Whether or not you believe in astrology, it's always helpful to have something to blame. Disclaimer: to be taken with a pinch of salt. This is a bit of fun and because a problem shared is a problem halved.

    Millie is the first TYS guest to be going through her Saturn Return right now! From the moment lockdown began, Millie's Saturn Return did too, and it also coincided with her landing a book deal. We discuss how she navigated meeting her deadlines, learning to love isolation and looking after her father, all while in the midst of a global pandemic.

  • Thank You Saturn - Lizi Hills

    Thank You Saturn - Lizi Hills
    Dec 22 2020

    Lizi Hills - the "Accidental Accountant" - is the Commercial Finance Director of Burger King, as well as one of my closest friends. Lizi is rare, because she first became Finance Director at aged TWENTY NINE (what!?) but also has a Sense of Humour (myth busted!), is always up for a laugh and still has the lovable traits of being scatty (and sometimes late for work, at least when I worked with her) that made me stare at her in wonder over my cup of morning coffee about how on Earth she managed to be both a genius and a social butterfly. Anyway, as discovered in this episode, Lizi has many more strings to her bow and was in the Junior British rowing team 2003-05, winning the junior World Cup regatta, Henley and competing at the world championships. as well as being National Champion with her club. She is changing the idea of accounting with her refreshing perspective of putting her team's wellbeing before the financial gain, and challenging why accountants need to work full-time instead of being entitled to flexible working like employees from "less-pressured" jobs. She explores the duality of wanting two separate career paths and the struggle to reconcile the two, and interestingly, like many of us, she still doesn't know what she "wants to do" despite being high up on her own career ladder. Lizi's Saturn Return saw her have a "funny five minutes". Without anything particular being wrong per se, she began to doubt her career path, the direction of her relationship, and her sense of self in general.

  • Thank You Saturn - Arrows

    Thank You Saturn - Arrows
    Oct 14 2020

    Arrows is a model, vlogger & film producer. Their latest projects include a queer virtual blind date show called Butterflies, a new episode of which drops every Sunday; Drag Me, King! A drag king competition incorporating 3 categories, the past, the future & Daddy; and Link in Bio, talking about the confidence, safety, censorship and money involved in sex work. These can all be found on the Whatta Weekend YouTube channel.


    Arrows and I discuss polyamory and its opposite: learning to turn all that love onto yourself for healthier relationships, the morning ritual that helps them start their day, and how the constant need to “check in” as a boss could actually come from a place of insecurity (this blew my mind).


    This is my favourite episode mainly for the fact that when we started Arrows was sleep as fuck because it was early, and by the end they were literally dancing around their apartment.
