Saturn Retrograde (30 June 2024 – 27 December 2024)Saturn Retrograde
(30 June 2024 – 27 December 2024)

A retrograde motion of a planet is an optical illusion where it appears to be moving backwards, but is actually moving slower in its solar orbit. This phase reveals a deeper psychological aspect and strong intelligence, allowing us to become more reflective, contemplative, revisit and repeat the planet’s representation in our customized astrological chart.

30 June 2024 – 15 Nov 2024: Saturn would remain in retrograde motion (generally written as Sat-R) in Kumbha-Aquarius sign for about 139 days. During its motion it would traverse a few Nakshatras as follows:
• 30 Jun 2024 – 3 Oct 2024: Sat-R in Purva Bhadra Nakshatra
• 4 Oct 2024 – 16 Nov 2024: Sat-R in Satabhisha Nakshatra
• 16 Nov 2024 – 27 Dec 2024: Saturn in Direct motion in Satabhisha Nakshatra
• 27 Dec 2024 – 25 Mar 2025: Saturn in Purva Bhadra Nakshatra
Saturn’s slow movement and retrograde phase can significantly impact everyone, potentially leading to challenges, confusion, worries, and difficulties in areas that are signified in our customised chart.
Saturn is stationary for 8 days before shifting direction, with its most powerful time being stationery, directing energy into a specific zodiac area. Life-changing events are expected during 25 Jun 2024 – 5 Jul 2024, with energy release at 25-13 degrees Aquarius, and 10-16 Nov 2024, with energy release near 18-31 degrees Aquarius.

Saturn, the planet responsible for Karma, Time, Restrictions, Rules, Boundaries, Structure, Discipline, Duty, and Responsibilities can trigger major Karmic events during its retrograde motion, often representing neglect of responsibilities. To avoid this, one should embrace responsibility, hard work, and discipline, as Saturn will reward them during this period. During retrogradation Saturn offers reflection and re-evaluation opportunities. Remedies on Saturdays can reduce damage. Understanding your astrological chart can regulate behaviour, minimize adverse effects, and enhance energy. Consult a personal astrologer for personalized remedies.

Please note: Saturn, the Lord of Time, is associated with the Shakti of ‘The Power of Spiritual Fire’ until 3 Oct 2024. This period is a time for purging old baggage and moving on to the next level. Saturn’s most potent influence is in the latter third of a sign, indicating concerted effort and preparation. For complex projects, it is essential to think large and think large.
