Hot girl summer turned into anxious gal summer? You’re probably not alone.
If you were expecting a thrilling time but ended up finding yourself sitting in bed, binge watching Netflix whilst having an existential crisis all summer, you’re probably not alone – and the reason might be in the stars. After four exhausting months, Saturn retrograde is finally coming to an end.
With Capricorn’s ruling planet going direct on 23 October, it’s likely you’ll find yourself feeling like a new person, especially if you’re a fixed sign (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio), or have heavy Capricorn placements in your chart.
However, all signs can feel a sense of relief in certain areas of their lives.
The reason retrogrades feel so detrimental is because the planet appears to be moving backwards. This might lead to you feeling like you’re taking steps backwards too, especially in the areas in your life that are affected the most.
But the important, and comforting, news is that it’s just an illusion: you’re still moving forward. This makes retrogrades an extremely good time for contemplation.
Saturn, the ‘father of our solar system’ is known as a negative force, emphasising the meaning of rules and karma. However, with all its downsides, Saturn brings meaning and structure into our lives, driving us towards our goals.
While retrogrades are often associated with negative implications, this backwards movement in the restrictive planet is a bringer of good karma and self-growth.
You might have missed out on some summer fun this past four months, but you may find that there’s been some serious character development – or perhaps you’re in an entirely new season.
Whatever the case, the time for reflection is now over, so keep looking ahead into the future, and ultimately, just enjoy the show.
