Generally, Saturn retrograde is a time of reflection about the responsibilities and limitations in your life. Saturn retrograde 2024 has positive energy due to a favorable aspect to the Moon. It promotes care, patience and responsibility in your personal and home life.
Saturn Retrograde Meaning
Saturn is the Lord of Karma. Retrograde motion is a time when karma is sorted out. Therefore, Saturn retrograde is a double dose of karma. Karma is a form of energy that is very real.
If you have been bad in the past, an event will occur to teach you a lesson. If you have been good in the past, an event will occur to reward you for your good deeds. The karma of Saturn retrograde relates to how responsible you have been in the past.
Specific issues involving your duties, responsibilities, dependents or career may cause limitation, restriction, anxiety, guilt and fear. The problem highlighted is so important that extra time is needed to take stock and ensure everything is in order before you continue. You may be tested to ensure you are ready to take on the extra responsibility. The lessons you learn might be challenging, but they will be valuable.
On the other hand, it could be that negative Saturn behavior, such as sadness or shyness, has gotten out of control. In this case, events will force you to recognize and admit the problem. Things may get so out of control that an intervention or some drastic event must occur to shake you out of your depression or isolation.
By the time Saturn stations direct, you should have come to terms with the relevant issues and be ready to move forward with determination and preparedness. See Saturn Retrograde Natal and Transit for more information.
