Saturn turns Retrograde on Monday April 29th in the sign of Capricorn until September 18th. Just a few days ago Pluto turned retrograde and now Saturn hot on it's heels. Anytime a planet turns retro or direct we tend to feel it's energetic influence more strongly so I though a heads up might be appreciated. Over the next 24-48 hours you might feel the drag or heaviness of Saturn stationing, a slow down and or feeling like you are plodding though mud. By Tuesday night that Saturn drag will lift.

 

Saturn is the planet that grounds and anchors us in this earthly experience. It pushes us to take responsibility for our lives and creations. To build our lives on a solid foundation in order to consciously manifest with longevity. Saturn says buy the pair of shoes that costs a bit more but will serve you better and last a long time rather then the plastic shoes that fall apart after a couple of weeks. No offense to plastic shoes, sometimes that is exactly what you want, shoes to last a short time and then time to recycle. But if you are creating your life and consciously manifesting your desires do you want your creation to be fleeting or to hang around for a bit? Think money, relationships, your dream job, health etc.

 

With Saturn in retrograde for over 4 and half months you will have plenty of time to reflect and review your growth and make adjustments accordingly. What do I mean by growth? Mental, emotional, spiritual growth. Personal development, creativity, artistry, business, work, relationships, self love, skills, manifesting, maturity, conscious awareness; awakening. Where are you growing? Where are you stagnant? Where do you need to finally get going?

 

Both Saturn and Pluto are retrograde until September and what I am receiving is that many of us will be delving into the past to face, address and heal childhood wounds. And if you are older like myself, issues unresolved from your 20's, 30's etc.

 

Over the last couple of days on the lead up to Saturn retro and Pluto (subconscious) retro already in motion, I have had a few cringe moments happen out of the blue when a memory from the past suddenly and unexpectedly rose up with that deep, hot burning, uncomfortable energy (you know the one) forcing me to face it and release. Twice this happened while I was riding the metro here in Bucharest and once on a walk home from the supermarket. Gosh I detest that feeling and at the same time I acknowledge that until I face and release the energy, that uncomfortable, hot, burning energy will continue to take up residence inside and hinder my growth. And so each time I faced the energy and the memory asking myself: What did I learn from that situation? Did I grow from that event? Do I still need that energy charge hanging around as reminder? I buried it once, is it time to release? And I breathed it out using a vortex of energies from the Bosnian Pyramids to help. It was a good release.

 

For ALL of us these types of experiences will present during Saturn and Pluto retrograde. I encourage you to work with what shows up because Pluto and Saturn working together in this way are ready to help you to rise up in power and wealth, and build a strong foundation for your life experience.

 

Shadow side of Saturn Retrograde: control, stern, rigid behavior, do what it takes to achieve no matter who or what is collateral damage, workaholic, over thinking, lack of flexibility. Perhaps one of these issues will be your focus.
