The Saturn Returns profoundly changes everyone's life around the ages of 29 and 59. How do we understand the "fated" astrological predictions that challenge us at these times? In this fictionalized memoir, Elizabeth Spring, writes about the poignant journey of Isabelle, a "reluctant astrologer" as she makes her way through her Saturn Return at age 59 while mentoring a young woman through her first Saturn Return at age 29. In this dramatic story, Isabelle is forced to leave Boston to reunite with her ex-husband at the bedside of her nearly drowned daughter, Sophie, on a remote Celtic island off the coast of Scotland. Her journey takes her from old bookshops in England to sacred monasteries, from Carl Jung's stone retreat in Switzerland, to the back streets of Beacon Hill in Boston. Isabelle struggles with issues of fate, destiny and "prediction" as she re-discovers herself through a quest to save her life, her marriage, and her daughter.Although written as fiction, the reader learns some astrology as the book proceeds...as Isabelle dares to re-imagine how to change her broken life into an enchanted life. Elizabeth's work has been endorsed by many writers and astrologers, including Alice Howell, Donna Cunningham, and Steven Forrest, as well as Jungian writer/analyst James Hollis.
