Saturn Retrograde
S a t u r n R e t r o g r a d e
Tomorrow on June 17th we have Saturn going retrograde, into the deep, dreamy, intuitive waters of Pisces where he’ll be retrograde until November 4th.
We are familiar with Saturn and how he is the ruler of Capricorn, your initiation into official adulthood with Saturn's Return.
Saturn will be here to teach us lessons and get things sorted by taking responsibility for our lives and empowering our determination and work ethics by aiming high and being dedicated to our skills and going forth with them. The energy of this retrograde will be about embodying all things associated with maturity and being an adult.
Saturn’s influence is not often exciting. It’s a planet charged with setting out your tasks for the future, setting the foundations for all that will happen in the future. Think savings, training, reevaluating, and getting things done.
Saturn is the planet associated with authority, responsibility, and productivity. When in retrograde it can switch things around in the most extreme way and put those adulting responsibilities on the back burner.
With this retrograde, you might find yourself focusing on what’s going on inside your internal world - sense/feeling into your emotional and spiritual responses, how they perhaps need to change and grow up and evolve. Perhaps you will be more focused on personal growth and development, remember this astrological event is working with the Gemini New Moon…think about what needs to change and evolve to be living your highest self. The version you dream of being, stepping into.
As the retrograde rebels against Saturn’s most natural urges, you may find that you take your eyes off the ball and lose traction in areas where you’ve been working hard for decades! Rejecting Saturn’s message of maturity can be risky, although no doubt it will be fun while it lasts.
Pisces, a romantic water sign which blurs the lines between reality and illusion, is where the retrograde happens. Pisces is not at all committed to progress and forward motion – its symbol is the fish, swimming in two directions at once, and you might find yourself losing direction completely. Pisces is romantic, however, so you’ll be focusing on love and making up for the lost time in that field.
Saturn first entered Pisces on March 8th, from March until June 17th so reflecting on this period of time of what has happened and what was coming up for you is an indicator of what to expect during this retrograde period. If you find the same thoughts or issues resurfacing it’s so we can reassess and see how we can elevate from these issues.
You may notice themes around creativity, feeling blocked, limitations placed on you and your emotional wellbeing may rise to the surface and overflow.
You may also notice this as a slower-paced energy, which may have you feeling more frustrated with things not going how you thought they would or at the pace, you wished them to. But this is happening for you to focus on the here and now, the finer details, and the core issue at hand.
Be gentle on yourself, allow this time for inner healing, and take this time to focus on the adulting tasks around your Spiritual and emotional evolution.
Much love and gratitude,
Assunta x
