“Rome wasn't built in a day” - Saturn is retrograde from May to October

In the case of Saturn, we usually think in small steps. Now that it is turning to retrograde on May 23, we are also stepping back a few to have a chance to see if we are building on solid foundations.

Let's not rush

The focus of the year 2021 is on Saturn. The retrograde period from May 23 to October 10 provides an excellent opportunity to get rid of the karmic burdens mentioned in our previous article. What is getting worse now is what we have to dealing with. In the next five months, we will have the opportunity to repeat the (fate)lesson and then take an exam from it - will we be able to find a solution to our problems.

Slow construction is going on for a few months, the first step is to leave our aged parts - our painful feelings from the past, our self-limiting thoughts. If we dare to see our inhibitory life situations and break down our dysfunctional relationships - in order to do not place our lives on a sand castle, but on a stable foundation - we will be able to renew and elevate our various areas of life (financial situation, relationships, etc.) to a higher level.

Workplace reorganizations

Since both Mars and Rahu affect Saturn in the constellation Capricorn, restraint and a slower progress can be more expedient and cause less frustration. Let's not rush things. It turns out what is timeless.

While ambitions may intensify, as we move towards the future, pay attention to where the doors open, and in the case of Saturn, it is better to choose quality over quantity, whatever it may be. The field of work and profession is already in transformation, sometimes in decline. Workplace reorganizations / closures may show current planetary position.

Anti-power and father-image problem

The retrograde Saturn can bring narrowing, but it is also a compass, where to go, what is valuable to us, what is needed, what fills, what builds, what makes us.

This period also provides an opportunity to fall in love with the limits and the rules, as a stricter regulatory environment can be expected. Whoever feels that the rules, the laws are against his person, and he experiences the restrictions badly, the more likely the paternal pattern is damaged. It is possible that the retrograde Saturn experienced an overcontrolling, tough, judgmental, authoritarian, subversive paternal quality in his childhood and is now projecting this memory of his early injuries. Thus, this period is also suitable for tidying up the father-image.

Taking care of ourselves

Saturn returns from the moon-dominated Sravana naksatra. This indicates that creating emotional stability will be a central issue in the coming months, as it will later be reliably based on the outside world. In the retrograde period, mainly internal construction takes place, ie it is possible that there are no signs of change in our external world yet, but the transformation of our internal world is essential for a successful future. A strong castle also takes time. We must also pay attention to building stable internal foundations.

It's not too late!

The deity of the Sravaha moonhouse, according to Vedic teachings, is Visnu, the all-pervading god, he is the foundation of time. Therefore, if we feel that we have run out of time (or if we feel too old for something we want to achieve), realize that universal intelligence rolls obstacles in front of us to learn from it, to become wiser. We still have to touch our souls, we have to grow up for the task.

Sravana naksatra symbolizes learning by hearing, the ear, so we should now put more emphasis on verbal learning / teaching - it can mark the path we need to follow.

The effects of retrograde Saturn can be felt more strongly by people with Capricorn and Cancer interests, and especially those who are in Sade Sati.
