When Saturn goes into retrograde mode it is time to reexamine all the things inour lives. It is most important that when we

examine our lives, we attempt to improve them.

Saturn also represents limitations. It is a time for us to restructure. Saturn dealswith programs, organizations and all

things that deal with better systems and processes. It is about duty, loyalty,perseverance, endurance, form, shape,

substance, boundaries and responsibility. It is about being held accountable toothers as well as to yourself. It is aboutbuilding an empire; creating a solid foundation from which to grow from or

toward. Without a solid foundation, we becomeunstable and cannot fulfill our soul's instruction for this lifetime. We could

wander without direction, cause, goals or vision;

much less have a dream to hold or work toward.

Saturn retrograde period will assist you in completing anything that is left

undone, unattended to, partially completed ornot completed at all. It does not pressure you to do these things, but gives youtime to do them.

The important events or things that Saturn in retrograde brings to us include aneed to become more aware of our own

authority, power and place in this world. It makes us winder where we fit intosociety. Do you allow society to over powerand limit you?

Saturn retrograde assists with pushing you beyond your limitations by showingyou that you are capable of doing far more

than you thought you could. It also can take those blind folds off that you keep

on your eyes. Saturn gives you the abilityto see more deeply into people, situations and things around you. It brings

more wisdom to you; but remember that thiswisdom is usually gained from hard work and hands on experiences.

Saturn gives us strength during this time period. It is a tough process and not an

easy one. The reward to all those thattoughed it out during this time will be well worth it. One of the biggest

rewards is grace. When you have received it, you

know that you have done well. It can also be defined as strength in spirit, youmay have a deeper sense of compassion for

others and self, and an understanding of yourself and wisdom on all levels.

The retrograde cycle is for 4 months and Saturn retrogrades every 12 months. The sign that it rules over is Capricorn,

so people with this sun sign experience its greatest effects all the signs willfeel the effects to some degree.

If you were born with Saturn in retrograde at the time of your birth, you areprobably devoting your entire life to knowing

what needs to be fixed and doing so. Those individuals also do not have clearboundaries. Many times they accept otherpeoples responsibility and not enough responsibility for themselves. They will

have to find their own successes and roles insociety. Many times the people that needed to give them guidance in life werenot there for them.
