Saturn retrograde in Pisces from June 17, 2023 to November 3, 2023

Saturn is the Lord of Karma, time, structures and boundaries.
When Saturn is retrograde, past, present, and future are intertwined into one.

When Saturn is in retrograde, we enter a period of karmic life lessons in which we learn to overcome difficult situations and make wise decisions.

From March 11, 2023, Saturn was already in the so-called “pre-shadow period”…
Saturn turns retrograde at 7°12.6 Pisces on June 17, 2023, and goes direct again at 0°30 Pisces on November 3, 2023.
Only from February 7, 2024, the ‘post-retrograde’ is over when Saturn returns at the point where it went retrograde (7°8.2 Pisces).

In the elusive and structure less Pisces, retrograde terrestrial Saturn wants to create structure and a solid foundation.
Saturn retrograde slows down…Saturn retrograde is a time to evaluate, restructure, revalue and reorganize rather than starting something new. There may be things that you are disappointed or dissatisfied with that need attention.

Saturn’s “Moonwalk” from June 17 to November 3, 2023 prompts us to take responsibility, learn from what went wrong and see within the limits of your ability what you can achieve or sustain.

As frustrating as it can be, resistance and delay can pave the way to achieving the desired goal.
Patience is the biggest lesson Saturn retrograde teaches us.

Saturn retrograde makes us look at boundaries, structures and norms.
Have you set limits for yourself? Have you set too many rules for yourself?
Or maybe not enough?

In society, there are unwritten rules about how we should behave.
As we grow and evolve, we also outgrow certain rules.
During this Saturn retrograde in Pisces, outdated ways and limitations are being let go.
