The daddy planet is starting his slow backstroke in the murky, mutable, confetti clogged bathwater of Pisces.
Strict planet Saturn is slowing his roll and forcing us to reconsider the part we play in the saga of our own lives.Gather round, folks — formative daddy planet Saturn is starting his slow backstroke in the murky, mutable, confetti-clogged bathwater of Pisces.
Saturn is known to fortify through trial and obstacle, sharpening our will against the angels of adversity. We’re talking, but the kind you’re thankful for in the long run, the kind of resistance that shows you what you’re capable of. Once thought to be the last planet in the solar system, Saturn is known as a malefic and is associated with endings, limits, tough love, and hard lessons.It takes the ringed one 29 years to circle the zodiac, staying in each sign for two and a half years. Saturn goes retrograde for roughly 4 to 4 1/2 months every year.
Retrograde is a bit of a misnomer, as the planet only appears to move backward from our vantage point here on Earth. Because this retrograde is happening in dreamy, diluted, strung-out, and easily swayed Pisces, the sign of spiritual seeking and deeper meaning, the lesson here is that our trajectory must align with our true interiority or all our efforts will be for naught.As a whole, we tend to feel faster-moving transits — i.e. Mercury — to a higher and more immediate degree than Saturn.
