Whenever planets retrograde they are guiding us to reflect deeper about the wisdom they poured into us while direct. Saturn moved into sidereal Capricorn in January 2020 for its two and a half year transit and will take a break in retrograde from 23 May – 10 October 2021.
Saturn bestows material and spiritual wealth when we are walking on the right path. Obstacles and delays occur when moving against its guidance. As a collective, we have seen where this is relevant in the external world. Saturn revealed what has not been working despite our assumptions.
- Government
- Farming
- Social, economic, and utility infrastructure
- Roads and bridges
On a personal level, this will appear wherever Capricorn is in the natal chart (see below). Notice thoughts and emotions (moon sign) and what appears in the material world (ascendant), as this may be Saturn’s guidance.
- Patience (Sun Salutation cultivates patience)
- Ambition
- Longterm planning
- Having a regular routine
- Skin and hair
- Teeth
- Skeletal system, especially knees
- Career
- Legacy
Overall, we may see restrictions lessen internally and in the external world during Saturn retrograde. This is a time to embrace how to integrate its wisdom as we feel freer.
