Saturn goes retro 2024 – revisit your boundaries!

Saturn slows to a halt ready to turn retrograde on 30 June 2024 (29 June in Europe and the Americas) at 19 Pisces.

Saturn retrograde encourages us to review the recent past and assess our ability to take full responsibility for our actions.  This is a good time to look at the ways we limit ourselves, and bring our fears to the conscious light of day.  This is also a good time to review our ability to say ’No’ and ensure that we can maintain healthy boundaries in all areas of our lives.  The Saturn retrograde period lasts until 4 Nov 2023.

On top of that, we have two Full Moons in Capricorn now, a month apart, emphasising this Saturnian theme (Saturn rules Capricorn) of how well – or not! – we are dealing with taking responsibility for our lives, and how well we can maintain healthy boundaries.

If your birthday falls around 10 March, this is likely to be a time of increased responsibility for you, as you enter a new phase of maturity and step into a place of personal authority.  Your workload may increase at this time – if you accept this extra responsibility, this can be a time of success and achievement.  Saturn is a planet where we truly reap what we sow – if you’ve put in the hard work, this is very likely to be a time of achievement. However, if you’ve cut corners along the way, this is a time when you’re likely to come unstuck and this can lead to feelings of failure and depression.  If you’ve put in the work though, this is the time when it all finally pays off!

If you have planets close to 19 Pisces (within a degree either side) you are being asked to take on a more mature approach to that part of your life, which will no doubt involve some re-evaluation.

For everyone – use the Saturn retro period productively to review the way you’ve structured your life. Make any necessary changes now, especially around boundaries and self-discipline.
