Effects of Saturn’s retrogression

Saturn starts its retrograde motion in Virgo from January 13 to May 30, 2010. A retrograde planet appears to
be moving backward relative to the Earth at any given time. This retrograde motion shows a tendency of the
planet to "back up" in our mind and consciousness. The energy of a retrograde planet is expressed more on an
inner level. Retrograde planets often cause one to stop and reconsider the consequences, so that spontaneous
expression is blocked in some way. Saturn has to do with the nature of our commitments and plans. We are
usually half committed to our current plans and half reevaluating new ones. This comes from Saturn.
Retrograde Saturn in a chart, regardless of where one finds it, always represents the neglect of responsibilities
in the past or previous life. With a retrograde Saturn, the native comes into the current life, with a tendency to
carry forward the same goals that he had left unfinished in the previous life as not fulfilled. The responsibilities
ignored or avoided in the past are the clear indicators with the quality of Sign in which the Saturn is posited in
retrogression in the current life. If Saturn is retrograde in birth chart, it makes a person less confident,
suspicious and dependant on future. You could feel that fate conspires against your desires but it’s really you
putting the brakes on through feelings of persecution or inhibition in the house where it is placed until you
work out how to face doing or confronting whoever or whatever it is that threatens you.

Saturn can be one’s benefactor or burden of woe depending completely on the ways in which a person builds
his structure on a firm foundation.
