After Mercury retrograde finished, Saturn retrograde started on June 4 and will remain until October 22 PT/23 ET. Saturn retrograde is the next retrograde that will occur after Mercury retrograde. Saturn, the astrological planet of regulations, limitations, and obligations, backspins for nearly four and a half months each year. Despite the negative connotations associated with retrogrades (looking at you, Mercury), Saturn’s retrograde is a longer-lasting transit, giving us more opportunity to connect with its energy and learn long-lasting lessons from its difficulties. Understanding how your zodiac sign will be impacted by Saturn’s retrograde in 2022 might help you be ready for it and make the most of it.

In astrology, Saturn is seen as a stern, solemn, and powerful character. This planet rules the passage of time, maturity, karma, and hard labour; as a result, wherever it appears in the zodiac, it fosters stability, imparts wisdom, and fortifies boundaries. With this cosmic power in place that sets the rules, don’t expect to cut corners! All zodiac signs should check their limits and think about what is causing them resistance in their lives during Saturn’s periodic retrograde periods. Saturn wants us to go slowly and steadily, so throughout the next four months, concentrate on laying a strong foundation for your ambitions and taking on any obligations you may have been avoiding.

In addition, Saturn’s present transit through Aquarius, one of its usual signs of rulership, which started in the foreboding month of March 2020, is one of the last legs of this retrograde. The tough-love planet will have moved into Pisces by the time Saturn retrograde occurs next year, and it won’t return to Aquarius until 2050. This means that Saturn’s current backspin is our final opportunity to reflect on and reevaluate the Aquarian themes that have been presented to us throughout Saturn’s reign here over the past years. It also gives us one last chance to allow its lessons to stick with us and promote our long-term growth.
