Saturn going Retrograde this week, will feel like there are no parents and no rules.
Saturn going retrograde for some, can amplify the fun, make things feel less restricted, less rigidity and less punitive energy.
Saturn going retrograde for others, can feel like there is no order, therefore there is pure chaos.
Those who live a more disciplined life will be challenged to maintain this lifestyle but also get to choose ease instead of pressure. Saturn transiting in Pisces, amplifies this as Saturn (the regulator) in Pisces (restoration) is a good transit for regulating your rest. Going retrograde gives this even more emphasis.
But those who live a more freer lifestyle, less structured and dare I say a little messy, will be challenged to cultivate order by looking at their internal motivators. For example, Are you the type to clean up because people are coming over? Or are you the type to regulate a clean house so that whenever anyone comes over its not a race to throw everything into the closet.
Saturn in our chart shows us authority, there is a seemingly "missing" authority where Saturn is... and the challenge becomes to find the inner navigation of being your own authority instead of having someone external. For example, Saturn retrograde transiting the 4th house, may have you seriously contemplating your own home ownership path versus constantly renting.
You see, Saturn is about consistency or constantly, but sometimes we do some things consistently that aren't serving our highest potential. When Saturn goes retrograde, this gives us a chance to correct some of these consistent practices that we need to eliminate.
For example, someone who drinks too much or if you're like me, smokes too much, may find that Saturn retrograde helps you to see the consistent habits like these are holding us back.
Just yesterday, I did some deep emotional work, and discovered the reason behind my need to smoke everyday. I'm seeing that i'm suppressing intense feelings and when I allowed my feelings to come up, I was met with so much truth. For the rest of the day, smoking was not as desperate for me to partake in. I can feel the need eroding as I was able to see the emotions I was trying not to feel.
People say that Pisces is an emotional sign, being ruled by the water element and oceans, I can see that, but I find Pisces is the truth to our E-MOTIONS that we are moving in water--the cosmos is water, the earth is water... Pisces is the glue that keeps us together, in which I see Pisces as the emotions that keeps the whole system going. Living in an emotion-less world is impossible me thinks.
All of this to show you are worthy of good emotions. Saturn Retrograde in Pisces takes us to the emotions of being in control, and what are we in control of? With Pisces ruling the oceans of our subconscious, we can see that we think we are in control, but quite often it is our subconscious running the show.
As Saturn goes retrograde be mindful of your reactions, listen to the emotion behind the first emotion that you use. Allow space and time to be your friend.
Speaking of time... where in your life can you cut time? Where in your life do you need more time? consider this and apply!
Saturn in Retrograde is like the parents are gone, so we can become our own Saturns by having restrictions. This is about introducing healthy boundaries for you where Saturn is in your chart, and the best thing about retrograde action, is that its not an external factor, but an internal motivation as to what you are attempting to restrict from yourself.
I personally developed a relationship with restriction where i hate it so much. I want to have everything in abundance not restrict right? But the truth is that I restrict myself from things all the time. And the harder truth is I restrict mysel from things I want all the time due to fear.
This is the truth I personally need to see with Saturn retrograde. There are several areas of my life that are so restricted because I do the same things, think the same things, and don't realize there are so many opportunities. So what I'm saying is, my resistance to restriction is silly, because I restrict myself from the things I want all the time.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces helps us to develop a safer relationship with restriction and boundaries so that we self sabotage less, mainly because the need to restrict is internally motivated. Restriction from the things that aren't serving you is key. Restriction from people that cross your boundaries is powerful. Boundaries with those who treat you like a doormat will change your life.
The key is to not be punitive, but disciplined. The key is also to not rush it, but work with time and taking your time. A lot of people introduce discipline without understanding how to develop discipline within you. Discipline is about following something or pursuing something. So you have healthy discipline practices when you have your eye on the prize, when you want to manifest something amazing over time. Saturn helps you to manifest within the limitations of the 3D Reality.
So what would you like to restrict during this powerful transit? How will you go about it so that you can be successful and kind to yourself rather than punitive?
