TIME FOR RESTRUCTURING - JUST HOW STRONG AND SOLID ARE YOUR FOUNDATIONS IN LIFE ???

SATURN - the planet representing the urge for security and safety, that is also known as the taskmaster teaching us the lessons we must learn in life, shows us what we are unsure of or truly fear, and forces us to find the means to acquire discipline, effort and sense of order so that we may overcome limitations and obstacles, and most importantly known as Father Time - began its RETROGRADE journey for 2023 on Saturday, June 17th, at 1:27 PM EDT ... this 139 day Saturn retrograde period goes from 7 DEGREES 12 MINUTES PISCES back to 0 DEGREES 30 MINUTES PISCES ... if you've had a natal chart done, then you know in what area or areas of your life, depending on whether or not this retrograde period will take place in one or two houses in your natal chart, Saturn has, and will continue for a while longer, be making you focus your attention on to improve and make sure your foundations are more secure and solid !!!

The main objective of a transiting Saturn retrograde is RESTRUCTURING, if necessary, our foundations to make sure they are strong and solid ... since Saturn is the planet which represents systems and organizations,  during its retrograde period the time has come to re-examine these areas and find ways to improve them and elevate them to a higher level of efficiency ... it  is now time for every one of us to restructure systems, programs,  organizations, and even rules in order to make them function more productively  ... processes and policies will all benefit from re-examination during this period even though it may not always be easy but very challenging as well as frustrating !!!



Saturn is now in its full transit through the sign of Pisces which it began back on March 7th of this year ... Saturn in Pisces is all about the ability to accept ... it is a highly imaginative placement, and sometimes one can get stuck and tend to live in the past thus yielding challenges and difficulties in dealing with the present ... this placement bestows deep understanding and great humility ... we may tend to champion the underdog through our compassion ... ironically it can cause us to lack clear insight into ourselves leading us to underestimate our own true value even though our perception of others can be greatly heightened ... quiet and solitude are needed under this energy ... therefore one might excel through literature, research and metaphysics ... working behind the scenes if often preferred ... we must guard against taking life too seriously and reacting over emotionally ... learning emotional detachment can be most helpful to avoid excessive worry and even prevent self-pity and depression !!!

My fellow Capricorns, this begins our yearly period of review and self introspection as this is our ruling planet ... what has been going on in your life since Saturn stationed back into direct motion back on October 23rd, 2022 ???  ... what have you been working on and possibly rebuilding and restructuring that now needs some re-examination and reevaluation to determine whether or not you are on the right track to produce the desired results you are working towards ??? ... or what did you start working on during the last Saturn retrograde period - May 23rd through October 11th , 2021 - that now MUST be addressed and either improved upon or simply let go of in order to facilitate personal and spiritual growth ??? ... this applies to everyone as well ... it would also be fair to say that everyone is "revisiting" and possibly having to rework actions occurring from March 7th up until June 17th of this year, with Saturn stationing retrograde as these are the degrees it will go back over in this retrograde period of Saturn ... Saturn has been almost stationary at the 7 degree mark of Pisces since approximately May 2nd, and many of you may have felt the impending pressure of it going retrograde by experiencing some form of heightened restriction and limitation somewhere in your life ... especially where 7 degrees of Pisces falls in your natal chart which is where you might feel the most impact in regards to the area of life ruled by that house ... another good reason it is so important to have a natal chart done by a reputable Astrologer !!!

Usually people are not very happy when Saturn comes into the picture to teach us and make us learn life lessons that often are very daunting and difficult, but we native Capricorns understand how hard Saturn's "weight" which can bear down on us ... so its retrograde journey each time 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 is 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 first time, you can make 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 !!!

Saturn retrogrades roughly every 12 1/2 months for a period of about 4 1/2 months ... Saturn remains retrograde until November 4th ... indeed Saturn teaches every one of us different but difficult lessons in life ... but if you keep your feet firmly planted and try to stay positive and understand that the "light at the end of the tunnel" usually signifies greater personal as well as spiritual growth, you will definitely come through a much stronger person and better for the lessons you have taken seriously and made great personal effort to learn from ... you will definitely be better equipped to deal with life and its many challenges as well as being able to determine if you are truly standing on solid ground or teetering on faulty foundations that will eventually collapse beneath you creating who knows what kind of havoc in your life !!!
