Saturn RX

Hola, my loves.

Here I am, Sunday morning... thinking about Saturn. The proverbial father of the Zodiac, stationing retrograde today in the sign of Aquarius. And naturally as an Astrologer, I'm thinking of what implications this cosmic movement may or may not have, and even more so thinking (and playing in) the fact that we will never truly know until we look back retro-actively. And that's honestly a lot like retrograde energy... it coaxes us into the past.

Retrogrades have a "Re-do" type of energy and when we're talking about Saturn, the Planet quite literally ruling time, we may indeed find ourselves dealing with pangs of nostalgia or memories of the distant past. Looking at the past can be scary if not daunting. And I must stop to wonder: 

is that why we're instinctively nervous about retrograde time? because it entices us to go backward, and perhaps that's scary? Do we identify with our past more than our future? If so, how can this change? Does it need to change? 

... these are all retrograde-y questions that only we can answer on an individual level as we move through our own processes. We can also recognize the Collective (air) Aquarius energy we are stepping into: hidden genius vibes, downloads, channeling, cosmic intelligence, solution, communication with community.... the list goes on.

That being said, I've decided to serve up simple, "Mind, Body + Soul" horoscopes to you in honor of Saturn Retrograde. Before I share them with you, I'd also like to share what I'm personally doing to start off my Saturn Retrograde: 

↠ I'm releasing a lot of energy that I've been holding onto since Saturn entered Aquarius back in 2020. Around that time, there were restrictions both personally and collectively that changed my world view. As I look back and reflect, I have lots of clarity on why certain things happened the way they ultimately did. I'm in a process of making peace with the parts I didn't resonate with by forgiving them. As Saturn Retrogrades, I anticipate a lot of opportunity for healing, and that's where I'll focus my heart. 

↠ I'm checking to see where Saturn 13º is in my natal chart, and I'm also looking to see how Saturn will travel down to 7º. Do you have any planets or points at the 13th or 7th degree, and if so, what signs? Do you have anything in Aquarius between 7-13º? I know that transiting Saturn will flirt in and out of a sextile with my natal Mars, and I know that transiting Saturn also dances in a harmonious flow with my Midheaven, the highest part of my chart that represents my calling in life. So how will I work with this energy and all of the other Saturn transits I'll experience between now and Oct. 10th? I'll work with my Astrology.

- and - 

↠ As I'm sure you heard, my pride and joy of an offering, ALLURE, begins on Wednesday for the Sagittarius Eclipse. I'll help you work with your astrology too, alongside a magical coven of beautiful humans. From conception to the 3rd round of this beautiful, powerful community... we've had an incredible amount of manifestations and miracles. We're set to receive even more and I highly encourage you to join us for Gemini, Cancer + Leo season. Together over the next 90 days, we're creating revolution, possibility, and expansion in our lives.

Now, let's dial into this cosmic intelligence on Saturn, my loves. 

Quick Facts: 

• Saturn is an outer, generational and social planet (Saturn and Jupiter are the social planets) This means Saturn is the transition point from inner to outer energies
• Saturn is in Aquarius until March 7th, 2023
• Saturn rules the sign Capricorn, as well as Aquarius (traditionally)
• Saturn governs bones, teeth, skin, the skeleton & gallbladder 
• If your Saturn is in Aquarius, your Saturn Return will occur December 2020 and March 7th, 2023 (you are not in your return the entire time)
• Saturn in a high-vibe: Responsible, determined, powerful, willful, entrepreneurial, in touch with destiny, highly respected
• Saturn in a bitchy low-vibe: Cynical, capitalist, patriarchal, materialistic, depressed, suppressed emotionally, cold 

Social reform and revolution can't happen overnight, nor should it with such a big dismantling- and this is one of the functions of Saturn Retrograde- to allow us the space and time to reform, re-establish, re-evaluate, re-organize, etc. 

the reality: Saturn Retrograde is an annual process that deserves (and requires) our participation as a humanity if we are to succeed and enjoy the possibilities that Saturn in Aquarius is capable of. There are SO many amazing things that can come from this Saturn transit, but Saturn rewards are earned. This could seem daunting after such a traumatic year... but I promise you that when you look back, you'll be incredibly happy and proud to say you participated in the revolution. This is a time of massive awakening, and the unfolding has potential to be extremely beautiful. To experience it, to *truly* be part of the change... we have to reconsider and rework our micro/macro functioning systems. (I know... systems... sooooo Aquarius...)

But for now, I want to share some horoscope-style insights with you to get the ball rolling! Yes, this retrograde (and all retrogrades) are a time where things slow down considerably... but it doesn't mean we need to stop moving forward.
