How long will Saturn be in reverse?
The solar system’s sixth planet is named Saturn. The ringed planet rotates in just 10.7 Earth hours yet takes 29.4 Earth years to complete one revolution of the Sun. Saturn has a longer orbit than the Earth, yet it rotates quickly on its axis.
The planet stays in each of the 12 zodiac signs for about two and a half years. On March 7, 2023, it will exit the fixed air sign of Aquarius, often known as the Water Bearer.
From our vantage point on Earth, Saturn appears to travel backwards within the sign while it is retrograde. This occurs as a result of the Earth’s and the planet in retrograde rotating at different rates.
Therefore, the apparent retrograde motion is an illusion. Actually, the planet isn’t slowing down. Every year, Saturn is in retrograde for around four and a half months. In other words, Saturn resumes its regular motion at the end of the period.
What to expect during Saturn retrograde?
While most civilizations portray the other planets in a positive light, Saturn is frequently portrayed as a foreboding force. Saturn, however, might be very advantageous for you in certain situations.
Saturn pulls you toward more altruistic endeavors as it progresses through Aquarius. Furthermore, as more duties are placed on your shoulders, there are instances where you could feel tested at work or by family members.
This also holds true for Saturn’s retrograde motion, when the planet moves slowly. However, because the planet is retrograde, you can start to take yourself more seriously rather than feeling under pressure.
Decisions could be made with more clarity and thinking. You might find yourself spending more time on career, relationships, and health in order to address these issues and discover tangible solutions. Additionally, now is the time to consider any constraints that may have emerged while Saturn was moving forward.
Therefore, the Saturn retrograde is the ideal time to relax and reset yourself for more inner peace.
How do we cope with this astrological shift?
Saturn’s retrograde motion may have a greater impact on fixed signs because it is currently in Aquarius, a fixed sign of the air element. This implies that Saturn may have a greater impact on all fixed signs in the other three elements of earth, fire, and water. Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio are these fixed elemental signs.
Going with the flow is the greatest strategy for adjusting to this astrological change. Try focusing more on your own wellbeing than anything else. Perform simple activities, such as going through your unread mail or watching a movie that has been on your watchlist for a while.
Keep in mind that Saturn enjoys structure and order. So engage in activities that will improve both your personal and household organization. Calendar your activities in a way that prevents work from exhausting you. Put the books on the shelf in the correct sequence, or do anything else that will make the situation seem ideal.
How can we avoid failure during Saturn retrograde?
Saturn, one of astrology’s most potent planets, is a taskmaster planet and the planet of karma. This implies that the planetary lord judges your past deeds.
Saturn retrograde is about karma, just like when it is in its usual motion, and its repercussions depend on the past deeds of the individual. The best outcomes from the retrograde should be anticipated if the actions have been good. If the situation is reversed, plan accordingly.
Saturn, however, is a planetary king who is incredibly intelligent and virtuous, in contrast to its supposed frightening reputation. So people with terrible karma may not experience too much harshness from Saturn.
Putting karma aside, this is the moment to go slowly. Nothing, including work or relationships, needs to be rushed.
You should take your time and focus your efforts on more positive endeavors and ideas. Although it may seem as though progress has stalled, Saturn retrograde is the ideal time to reconsider your course of action.
Everything is in the mind. It is imperative that you program your mind to think positively in order to prevent any bad effects from the Saturn retrograde. It’s important to manage your stress, anxiety, and uneasiness. Any type of negative thought needs to be transformed into ones that are full of possibilities. During this time, staying organized is crucial.
What signs are affected by Saturn going backwards?
Fixed markers
The signs most likely to experience the impacts of the planet are Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio.
The experiences they had, despite being exceptionally difficult, “actually helped level up the pillars of their lives, taking away what’s not true,” adds Noush.
Additionally, this retrograde is likely to have an impact on people who are going through a Saturn return.
What does Saturn going backwards mean?
Focusing on your priorities is a terrific idea during Saturn’s retrograde motion. It’s time to review your obligations and determine which ones merit your time and effort. When we make a promise, we stay with it long after we are in the mood to. They help us remember our priorities when we are faced with distractions and are excellent for keeping us on track when we lack motivation.
Saturn wants us to be the boss of our lives. Now is the time to take responsibility for your thoughts, actions, and energies. It’s time to take responsibility for our actions and own up to our mistakes. To own our lives is to accept accountability for them. We openly acknowledge our actual emotions and accept responsibility for how we are feeling.
Saturn warns us not to break promises lightly because doing so could undermine our own and other people’s faith in us. But there are occasions when obligations must change. Breaking free from something can be difficult, yet it may be vital for your development. Consider commitments with your heart before making them. It could be time to let go if your heart isn’t in it any longer. You can make new commitments that are more in line with your highest visions by letting go of old ones. You should also modify any obligations that in any way diminish your vibration. And part of that entails changing how you view your duties, especially those commitments you can’t break.
Think back on your deeds, even the ones you’d prefer to forget, when Saturn is in retrograde, which will run until October 22, 2022. Be truthful with yourself, compassionate toward your development, yet realistic about who you are and the choices you’ve made. Making mistakes is acceptable as long as you can take away the lesson they teach. Additionally, since you are in charge of each emotion, they can no longer dominate you.
By taking charge of your life, you’ll make room for quick development. You’ll assume your authority and feel motivated to proceed. Although Saturn’s retrograde motion can seem a little constricting, this energy lull offers a chance for introspection. Dig deep, consider where you want to focus your attention during this retrograde, and have an impact on the wider group. Then resolve to put forth the effort required to reach your full potential. Your life will take new turns once you own it and when the time is appropriate.

What occurs when Saturn makes a comeback?
Western astrologers describe the phenomena as having an impact on a person’s life development at intervals of approximately 29.5 years, while the planetary effect may be felt for a few years prior to the precise conjunction and the time duration might change depending on the planets’ varying orbits. These periods, or “returns,” correspond to the roughly 29.5-year period required for Saturn to complete one orbit of the sun. Western astrologers hold that a person crosses a significant threshold and enters the following stage of life as Saturn “returns” to the degree in its orbit that it was in at the time of birth. A person enters maturity with the first Saturn return, leaving behind their youth. maturity with the second visit. A person approaches wisdom old age with the third and typically last return. These times are thought to come about at ages 2731, 5660, and 8490, respectively. Given how uncommon a fourth return is for people who live to be 114118, astrological literature does not mention it.
