Planetary teacher Saturn in Capricorn’s own sign asks for our commitment and perseverance.
It is a time of reflection in which you are given the opportunity to set a new course, but can also be a period in which you are confronted with consequences of actions from the past.

Saturn in retrograde at the first degrees in Capricorn can be a period of frustration, opposition and delays, but when the road is cleared of all obstacles, nothing stands in the way of achieving the desired goal.

To have patience is the greatest lesson that Saturn teaches us.
It is better not to assume any new responsibilities or obligations during this process. Do not rush or force anything! First reorganize, renegotiate. Things that go wrong now continue to go wrong.
