Saturn Returns is a one-on-one interview podcast hosted by Caggie Dunlop (credited as Kagi Dunlop in episode transcripts), structured around the astrological concept of the Saturn return as a metaphor for periods of personal transition. A recurring strand brings on astrologers, most notably Noura Bourni, to explain specific transits — such as Saturn and Neptune's 2026 entry into Aries — and connect them to both collective and individual change. A second strand consists of long-form mental health conversations covering anxiety, PTSD, meditation, and trauma recovery, with guests such as psychotherapist Owen O'Kane and meditation teacher Rochelle Fox. Motherhood and postpartum identity are recurring subjects, explored with guests like Sophie Harris of Looking After Mum. Alternative self-understanding frameworks, including human design, also appear through guests such as Emma Dunwoody. The show occasionally features public figures, such as former Made in Chelsea cast member Millie Mackintosh, discussing sobriety and their personal relationship with alcohol. Conversations run long-form, typically 35 to 75 minutes, and favor a warm, disclosure-heavy tone over a structured Q&A format. Sensitive material — including trauma, sexual assault, addiction, and suicide — is discussed directly but supportively rather than sensationally. Listeners interested in astrology as a self-development tool, or in candid mental health and personal-growth conversations with practitioners and public figures, make up the show's core audience. Production is host-driven with no co-host or panel format, giving guests space for extended personal narrative rather than rapid topic coverage.
Made for: Listeners going through major life transitions who want astrology, therapy-informed mental health perspectives, and candid personal-growth stories from both practitioners and public figures.
What sets it apart: Unlike general astrology or wellness interview shows, Saturn Returns anchors its mental-health and personal-development conversations specifically to the Saturn return transit as a recurring interpretive frame.
Caggie and her guests explore the challenges and opportunities that come with change and our individual quest for authenticity. This podcast aims to bring calm and clarity during times of transition - underpinned by the astrological transit known as your Saturn Return. You are not alone.
