Retrograde Planets Part 2 - Saturn

Retrograde Planets (Part 2) Saturn – The second planet in the retrograde party (Saturn) joins tomorrow! We dove in yesterday with Pluto (technically we dove in on 4/25) and now it’s time to get used to the water. Two posts to go after this one.  Saturn is also an outer planet, so keep in mind this is a subtler energy shift, over a longer period of time., and generally working on larger patterns in your life rather than having a more direct effect on a specific area. So… Introducing Saturn!

Saturn – sometimes called the Lord of Karma will be retrograde in Aquarius from 5/11/2020 to 9/29/2020 (about 4 ½ months). Saturn is the teacher and the task master. -your homework has been assigned and is now being assessed. This is a period of karma being sorted out. ALL karma – yours, your family’s, and the collective’s. We will find lessons/karma from the past and the present all around us. And don’t forget, how we handle this karmic reckoning determines our lessons/karma in the future.

We are being called to answer for our actions and our present actions are creating the future. We are calling into question our duties and responsibilities – are they appropriately placed? This is particularly about family and career. Make no mistake, we are being tested in order to be able to continue our chosen path in concert with dharma. As we feel limitation, restriction, and even anxiety and fear, do we use this as an excuse to abandon our dharma, or do we persevere through the challenges?  (Many of you know one of my favorite metaphors…. If you have no food in the house and you encounter a detour on the way to the grocery store, do you say “I guess the universe doesn’t want me to eat today” and go hungry, or do you find another way?)

I know this one sounds a little gloomy and doomy, but remember, these are lessons. We have created them ourselves. We are creating them now. If we have been responsible in the past, it will be smoother than if we haven’t. If we handle this with some modicum of grace and responsibility, we are setting up a lighter load for the future. Make sure everything is in order, don’t abandon your purpose and if you can maintain your focus during this karmic lesson, it will lead to productiveness!
