There was a time when Emma Watson was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, following her success as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series along with other blockbusters like Beauty and the Beast and Little Women. But in recent years, Emma has been noticeably missing from the spotlight – and now she's revealed why.

"This is 33," she wrote on Instagram this weekend after a long hiatus, going on to reference how the last few years have been intensely transformative. "Holy moly. Before 29 I hadn’t even heard of a Saturn Return as a concept. Let’s just say that now I am well acquainted."

"I stepped away from my life," she went on, explaining that she's been nurturing her interests (mainly surfing and horse riding) as well as spending time with her family and friends, and doing "a lot" of therapy.

"I felt really sad and really pissed off about a lot of things," Emma admitted, adding that in her time away she's also: "Learned more about love and being a woman."

Emma went on to explain that through this much needed me-time, she's "finally figured" out her wellness and now she's ready to come out of her "cocoon".

"Today I feel 🦋🦋🦋🦋," she said at the end of her post. "Thank you to the witches in my coven who were so pivotal in helping me arrive at where and who I am now. You are my Avengers and you inspire me and kick ass. It takes a village, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise."

We can't wait to see where this new Emma era goes!
