SATURN - the planet representing authority figures, discipline, effort, sense of order, limitation, the urge for safety and security, tests us by placing obstacles and restrictions in our lives, shows what we are unsure of or truly fear, known as FATHER TIME, and most notoriously known for being the celestial taskmaster teaching us the lessons we must learn in life - stationed back into direct motion on Sunday, October 10th, at 10:17 PM EDT ... these lessons we MUST learn through the obstacles we often encounter sometimes are easier but more frequently become extremely challenging and difficult on our journey through this life in order to make us slow down so we can build strong foundations and structures in our lives that are on solid ground !!!
While Saturn has been in retrograde motion since May 23rd of this year, hopefully we have all been reviewing and trying to restructure systems, programs, organizations, corporations and rules that will allow them to function more efficiently ... we also were given the time and opportunity, if we used it wisely, to become more aware of our own personal authority and power and determine whether or not it fits within society or is actually undermining us and needs adjustment on some level ... in addition, we all should have been reviewing whether or not societies rules and policies are helping to give us needed structure or instead limiting us in some way thus preventing further personal and spiritual growth !!!
Now that Saturn has resumed direct motion, we should begin to be better able to see where we stand and thus continue building even more secure structures and foundations in our lives individually and as a society as well ... no doubt we may have encountered limitations and restrictions either self imposed or imposed on us by the Universe and/or authority figures during this retrograde period ... and perhaps now the Universe will even throw in yet another road block or two our way to make us realize whether or not we made good use of this retrograde period !!!
This Saturn retrograde period, which began back on May 23rd, occurred from 13 degrees 31 minutes back to 6 degrees 52 minutes Aquarius ... if you know in your natal chart in which house or houses these degrees fall, then you may understand where in your life this Saturn retrograde was making its impact - especially if it made any aspects to one of your natal planets or angles those being the cusps of the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses ... Saturn has been at the 6 degree mark of Aquarius since the end of September, and will not leave the 6 degree mark until approximately October 23rd, yielding the potential for this to have been a challenging period for many people especially related to the area of life ruled by which house 6 degrees Aquarius falls in !!!
My fellow Capricorns, this was our yearly period of review, self-introspection and rethinking of what has transpired in our lives especially from September 29th, 2020 until May 23rd of this year - that being the period when Saturn was in forward motion !!!
Saturn is currently transiting through the sign of Aquarius which it began back on March 21st, 2020 ... Saturn in Aquarius is all about combining traditional values with new age related insights and ideas ... it's a placement that yields the potential for a well organized mental concentration ... here the concern for impartial truth is highly pursued ... it also has the potential to give a sense of justice and responsibility in relationships ... it gives a heightened ability to visualize form and structure and can yield great mathematical ability ... and as Saturn is considered to be in a "partnership" with Uranus, planetary ruler of Aquarius, there is great potential to bring structure and order to the immense desire for freedom as well as to the chaos that can often ensue from the often disruptive energy Uranus creates !!!
Usually people are not very happy when Saturn comes into the picture - even though it is always there one way or the other - to teach us and make us learn life lessons that are often very daunting and difficult, but we native Capricorn born understand how hard Saturn's "weight" can bear down on us ... after all, it is considered to be the Celestial Taskmaster !!! ... so its retrograde journey each year becomes an opportunity for everyone else to feel and hopefully come to understand what we have to live with all of our life ... challenging - you bet !!! ... and no one would ever say it was an easy task, but the potential for rewards are unlimited if you open your eyes, ears and hearts, allow the Universe to lead the way and be willing to go the distance ... after all, if you don't learn the lesson the first time, you can be sure the Universe will bring the lessons back around again, and the next time they may end up being even more difficult to deal with in your life !!!
As Saturn is most frequently teaching all of us very difficult lessons, some more so than others, holding firm and staying positive will get us through this making us stronger and better able to deal with life and its many challenges ... so if you can keep your feet firmly planted and try to understand that the "light at the end of the tunnel" usually signifies greater personal as well as spiritual growth, you will definitely come through not only a much stronger and focused person but also able to handle this journey through life more efficiently for the lessons you have taken seriously and made great personal effort to learn from ... you will surely be better equipped to deal with life and its many constant challenges not just from Saturn's energy !!!
Time for me to once again reiterate a worthwhile observation of mine ... as a Capricorn born who will be ruled lifelong by Saturn, I can say that from personal experience the transits of Saturn aren't always a bad thing that should be dreaded ... while its actions can be difficult and challenging, Saturn's main objective is to help us grow and become a better, more highly functional and successful person by finding the courage deep from within to take a serious and honest look at where we are versus where we should be going ... as I have heard it said many times, better to be right than right now !!! ... ultimately this is done by making sure our foundations in life are always, strong, solid and secure !!!
Saturn remains in direct motion until June 4th, 2022 and in Aquarius until March 7th, 2023 !!!
