Saturn is the planet of delays, restriction, patience and reaching a goal step by step. Saturn is a serious dude. He is the picture of a stern father. He is not an abusive but he will make you earn your allowance. He won’t lavish it on you freely. He will make you eat your vegetables before you have dessert. Saturn is the planet which rules Capricorn. Capricorn has strong shoulder with which to the weather the storms of life.One can lean on him when one needs sustenance. He is an old fashioned type. He hails old fashioned values such as loyalty and friendship. He is out of touch with modern society and it’s throw away relationships.Saturn is the bearer of Capricorn traits to the places in the chart which Saturn touches. So, all of us have Capricorn’s influence in our charts by way of Saturn.
Saturn Retro is an uber Saturn. Saturn Retro works and re-works Saturn. The Retrograde planets are a deep entering into the bowels of the planet. The native must understand all the planet entails in order to use that energy at all. The person with the Direct Saturn does not need to do so. The Direct Saturn individual does not have to develop the serious nature of the Retro Saturn. The Retro Saturn will develop a depth and a serious attitude toward life. He may be more mature and responsible. He has a deeper intimacy with the planet if he takes that journey . In middle age, he may loosen up as Saturn rewards one with maturity.Part of maturity is the ability to loosen up. Middle aged Retro Saturns do learn to laugh a little more as a result of the struggle. Retro Saturn is hard but brings rewards if one persists, which is true to the nature of Saturn.
have to say that i have never seen better descriptions of retrograde planets then i did on your site
saturn retro is the only retro planet in my chart… but it is also my chart ruler so i feel the planets energy very closely
although it may seem as a burden i learen to be comfortable with saturn retro…. or at least with most of it
the self-doubt and somewhat sad personality is something il have to take my time to deal with
also… have a serious attitude isnt always a bad thing if you know how to use it…. people always give me more respect then to others becuse they see me as a serious and competent person and always come to me when the job needs to be done
all-in-all saturn retro might be a hard placement (especially as a chart ruler) but he gives you more respect and dependability
tell me what you think about what i wrote 🙂
