There was a comment question from someone, which seems to be deleted now, but I thought I'd leave the answer here anyway!

The question was about my reference to "Saturnian fashion" and the term of 7 years.

This is one of these things that, being a professional astrologer, I often forget people don't know!

The asker quite correctly indicated that the full transit of Saturn going all the way back to where it was at birth is about a 30 year cycle (closer to 28), and that is when people have a "Saturn return" and often change their lives quite drastically in some way.

But the seven year reference is to the Saturn squares- when saturn in the sky is at 90 degrees or 180 degrees from where it was at birth.

These times often present a challenge to overcome or desire to change as well. Looking at these points in someone's chart and referencing the years in which the squares happened often shows them to be significant years in the life of the person. In relationships, often the 7th year can be a bit this way too, which is where the term "7 year itch" comes from. Some say that a relationship isn't really solid until the 8th year. Of course, that varies, but it's interesting to see how many couples it holds truth for.

Anyway, to whoever asked the question, I hope that helps and I'm happy to answer any follow ups! Be well!
