How To Adjust After Saturn Retrograde In Aquarius
Stoic Saturn — the planet of karma, discipline, and responsibility turned direct in Aquarius on October 22, meaning its 4-month-long retrograde is over! But the work to overcome restrictions, delays, and tests of how responsible you are may not be over just yet as Saturn’s post-retrograde phase will linger until January 28, 2023, prompting you to take what you’ve learned during the past 4-months and rebuild yourself.
The Meaning Of Saturn Retrograde
Saturn retrograde causes you to reap what you sow, which could be favorable or unfavorable, depending on how you’ve stepped up to face your responsibilities in the past. You may have had to re-evaluate the decisions you’ve made since June 2022 and re-consider whether your aversions toward growing up or failing have manifested in subconscious fears that are holding you back. Saturn retrograde began and ended in innovative Aquarius, which is one of the two most comfortable zodiac signs for Saturn to transit (the other being serious-minded Capricorn). The Aquarian nature of this retrograde will have put a greater focus on your social boundaries and the part you have (or have not) played toward revolutionary progression within society.
Like all cosmic alignments, Saturn retrograde will have had a unique impact on you depending on your astrological energy and which area of your Birth Chart was directly influenced by Saturn’s backspin. Read your horoscope below for personalized insight.
