SATURN TRANSITS RETROGRADE
May 23 - October 21, 2021
On May 23, Saturn stations retrograde at 13°31' Aquarius, at which time it begins a reflective journey through the sign of the Water Bearer.
Whenever Saturn is retrograde, it asks that we look deeply into our lives and identify our weak spots so we can redefine them. If we resist, then we're likely to experience delays and obstacles that ultimately force us to do so.
Collectively speaking, as Saturn is backpedals through the sign of self-determination we can expect much discussion about matters related to freedom and independence. Since Saturn represents the government (and authority figures in general) and Aquarius represents technology, we can expect to hear much more about mandated vaccinations and digital vaccine passports during the coming months.
On a personal level, the house where Saturn is retrograding in your chart will reveal which life areas are up for reevaluation, and t's quite possible that issues related to freedom and independence may need to be reexamined and redefined for one or more of them.
