How many abolishing saturn/karma workings did it take you to be done with them?

I've tried HPS Lydia's Abolishing Saturn working multiple times, but everytime I do it I get around the 20 day mark and things just get too dangerous to continue. I want to do a few 90 day ones, but don't know if I'll finish a 40 day one.

This is something that has been mentioned many times over the years, HPS Maxine said things can get worse during the working. Do extra cleaning, and keep it going, because this is the purge stage and then it will all be better. I'll say it again, do extra cleaning during the working.

As for how many times, this is individual. It depends on how bad the situation is, and how much power you are able to put into the freeing.
