Saturn Retrograde

All the celestial citizens in your horoscope except The Sun and The Moon retrograde at least once every year. Saturn, like all the outer planets, those beyond Mars, stays that way for months -- for Saturn, about 4 1/2 months each time. During those months he retreats about 7 degrees over ground he already covered once. So there are degrees on his journey he does not cross again while retrograde.

Placements in your horoscope in those degrees are relatively safe from his "attention" for that cycle -- which can be both a blessing & a relief. Planets Saturn does aspect when retrograde are in line for his notoriously stringent lessons. The easy angles, conjunctions, sextiles & trines, bring order, structure & organization to the life area where they reside. That's the good news.

The difficult aspects -- squares & oppositions -- are a whole different story. Whatever the relationship, however, Saturn is the heaviest, most exacting representative of Karma -- specifically Karmic responsibilities, commitments ... & debt. If you haven't met your spiritual & developmental obligations -- from this life & past ones -- Saturn's retrograde cycle will be the time & place where things get sorted out.

So, the process of Saturn Retrograde is a double-dose, extra-strength episode of Karmic instruction -- & reckoning. You meet the lessons involved with the first Saturn pass. You go back over them again when he turns retrograde & retraces his steps over "old ground" -- those critical degrees in his retrograde cycle.

Here, you'll revisit, refine, rebuild & strengthen the assets & knowledge you need to have on your own journey into the future. You may resent the extra work -- who doesn't? But a craft that isn't seaworthy, equipped to weather whatever storms await, is useless, imperiled & even dangerous.

Saturn Retrograde

To understand Saturn Retrograde (Saturn Rx), you need to appreciate the function of Saturn in your horoscope. Saturn represents the Inner Self who teaches you discipline, responsibility and how to build the structures you need to keep you safe, not just in the short-term but as far as you can reasonably project into the future.

Being the ruler of the 10th house in the natural horoscope, it's one of the more complicated energies you'll learn to work with. By the time you start working with Saturn, you need to be ready to deal with self-control, make long-term commitment and keep them and launch projects designed to produce things built to last.i
