Saturn retrograde generally signifies a period of karmic rebalancing. The five days before and after the retrograde periods are the most potent because the planet is moving very slowly, making the energy more saturated. During this time, events can easily manifest. Past actions and their harsh consequences may surface, while past selfless and responsible actions could be rewarded.
Understanding Retrograde Motion
Retrograde motion does not mean that the planet is moving backward. All planets revolve around the Sun, including Earth. Whenever an outer planet comes very close to Earth, it appears as if it is going retrograde because from our perspective, it seems closer. However, it’s not actually going backward; we only perceive it that way.
During retrograde, the calculated effect, known as "chesta," is strong on the internal, mental, and psychological levels. The results can manifest as strange, unpredictable, and unorthodox, which is also the nature of retrograde energy. At times, even the impossible can manifest.
The Power of Retrograde
Retrograde periods are powerful because if you are revisiting, reassessing, or redoing something, the results are often more impactful. This is where the deeper power lies. It’s important to note the time a planet makes a shift in its speed and the aspects it makes during this event to understand its general impact on us.
Saturn Retrograde 2024 (30th June to Nov 15th 2024)
The Saturn retrograde period will start on a positive note, with Saturn not receiving any aspects from malefic planets. Saturn retrograde 2024 forms a trine with Venus, indicating a return to old relationships and commitments, especially those that signify loyalty and dependability. Venus will also leave combustion and move away from the Sun, making it stronger in Gemini.
Moon-Mars Conjunction
Another aspect during this period is the Moon-Mars conjunction, which can lead to reactive actions and passionate connections. It’s a good transit for financial matters, making new deals, and starting new initiatives that have a long-lasting quality.
Saturn Stations Direct
When Saturn stations direct on November 15th at 18 degrees of Aquarius, it returns to Shatabhisha nakshatra. At this time, there’s a nakshatra exchange with Rahu, leading to sudden developments in the areas where Aquarius and Pisces fall in your chart. Saturn also receives the eighth aspect of Mars from Cancer, causing developments in your domestic sphere.
Full Moon in Aries
A full moon in Aries will occur when Saturn goes direct, aspecting this full moon. Some blocks may be present but will likely be resolved by the end of November when a new moon in Scorpio appears. New beginnings are possible during this retrograde period, and by the end of November or early December, a solution will likely emerge.
