When Saturn ends its four and a half month retrograde period by going direct. It’s time to stop complaining about our responsibilities and instead to re-shoulder the mantle of adulthood. During Saturn’s retrograde period, it may have felt as though the world was against us, but now that this important planet has turned direct, calmer heads prevail and we’re able to undertake responsibilities again without them feeling too onerous.
In astrology, when Saturn is in forwarding motion, it speaks to our attitudes towards restrictions, limitations, rules, and structure.
