The Little Book of Saturn: Astrological Gifts, Challenges, and Returns

I LOVE this book! It has not even made it to my bookshelf, it has its own special spot on my home office desk. I use it as a reference, I would say almost weekly as I review the notes I wrote in it. I have even re-read it 3x, focusing on my kids and husband, and taking notes on how Saturn plays a role in their lives as well. Aliza's words are simple to digest and ring with compassion and insight for the reader's personal growth. I am ready to start my Aliza Einhorn collection and cannot wait for another book to be written by her. She truly is AMAZING! Grateful for the wealth and continue knowledge Aliza's words bring me. I truly believe, The Little Book of Saturn will become a Gem in your home as well.

Don't let the 'little size' fool you - this compact tome packs a punch. Suitable for both beginners and more advanced students of astrology, it covers the basics yet also contains insights not seen elsewhere. I've read many descriptions of my Saturn sign and house placement - and this is the only one to really nail both down accurately. There's also a helpful description of the third Saturn return that I've never seen presented before. I can only hope that Weiser chooses to publish more 'Little Books' on the other planets - or a little 'part two' volume that goes into the relationships and aspects that Saturn has with other planets and also the effect of various transits. Last, but not least - Einhorn is an entertaining and witty author who makes the usually hard pill of Saturn pretty darn easy to swallow!

What a fabulous book! It’s not overwhelming for novices yet insightful and meaty enough for those who’ve been around astrology for awhile. It’s a straightforward look at Saturn yet poetic in what your Saturn has to teach you; what you need to learn and understand.What I love most about this book is the author’s writing style. Saturn has a stern feel to it so I expected a “talking to”, a classroom lecture. This is not what you get. The author is speaking directly to you; not the universal reader. It’s as if the two of you met for coffee and she’s explaining your Saturn. I’m not new to astrology at all but after reading this book I do have a much better unstanding of my Saturn. I now follow Ms. Einhorn at Moonplutoastrology.

Don’t hesitate, just go for it already. You’re already curious - so here is your permission to stop debating and just buy this book. It’s worth it’s weight in gold and provides a breadth of information and insight in a clear and straightforward tone.Saturn is brutal force, but a complicated and misunderstood one, for with all its rules and limitations come growth and expansion like none other can provide. It would benefit us all to understand Saturn better, but rather than trying to make it even more mysterious and convoluted, Aliza has a beautiful way of making this intricate astrology seem so matter of fact, straightforward and easy to understand.With that being said, don’t mistake the information in this book for anything other than true wisdom and insight. For as Einstein once said, “the definition of genius is taking the complex and making is simple.”

I’ll say that I dabble in astrology, but I rarely look beyond the personal planets. This book opened me up to understanding Saturn not as a demon overlord, but a teacher.

This review is not complete and I may post an update when I finish the book but I'm so impressed 3 chapters in I must comment. Having studied astrology for decades with many books along the way - this one is a must read and very understandable at any level. Aside from the content being thorough and valuable, the style of writing has a great flow and is easy to understand - possibly some of the best explanations and interpretations I've heard. Also, you get a sense of the author's personality and she is someone you want to listen to. P.S. Not just about Saturn but a great overall intro to many things astrological!

This book was easy to read and very helpful for me when I turned 28. I was in a lost space and seeking what actually filled my cup in life. After reading this book I was able to better align and understand what steps I needed to take moving forward.

An incredibly fun and informative read for lovers of Astrology, written by a wonderful storyteller. I loved how the beginning hooks you with the author's discovery of Astrology, from the back aisles of books stores, and reading Linda Goodman books. (Me too!)The fun included finding out about my Saturn placement (Aires), and what my 12th house Saturn in means. I have a feeling soon, I will be reaching out to the author about a chart reading, as I have always wanted to know more!!Thank you Aliza!

The media could not be loaded. Book a little bigger than a kindle. I bought it to train my English with some subject that would hold my attention. Very rich content. Objective and didactic author.

Amazing writer!

The knowledge in this book is easily applicable into my life. Perfect for mastering my Saturn Return!

This a great little book. Aliza writes with great charm and obviously knows her stuff. It is an easy read for beginners and those who know a little more without being overly simple or patronising. Light bulb moment when I read about my Saturn in Aries ! Please Aliza write a book for every planet, they would make a great collection!

Thoroughly enjoyed Aliza's book and highly recommend it for beginners and those advanced in astrology. Fun, direct and has depth all at the same time. Loved it!
