Dear Friends and Clients,

 

Saturn will travel retrograde or backwards in motion from November

23.05 until April 6.06. This period lasts about 4 1/2 months and

occurs once a year. Saturn slows things down in his effort to teach

patience, perseverance and tolerance. This is an excellent time to

formulate plans and strategies, and to develop the best method and

approach for any endeavor or project. However, this is not the

optimum time to initiate new projects and undertakings but is best

used to build the foundation and lay the groundwork for your future

plans and enterprises. This will enable you to make the most out of

your future designs as Saturn once again moves forward in motion.

 

 

 

Retrograde Saturn slows down the outward realization of goals. He may

bring postponements, put things on hold and cause unexpected setbacks

in your plans or endeavors. Sometimes, this may be brought about by

unrelated responsibilities or unforeseen commitments in other areas.

Oftentimes, these other responsibilities may be old or neglected

business or incomplete work from the past. Saturn here inspires a

more thorough, methodical and better-organized approach toward

existing projects and circumstances.

 

 

 

This `unfinished business' may demand fulfillment or completion

before you are free to go forward with new ambitions and plans. This

may require your attention on various levels. The obvious level is

the material plane down here on earth. But this could also bring up

unhealed emotional wounds and unresolved psychological issues from

the past. It may trigger deep-seated, repressed emotions or old

behavior patterns which you had hoped were a thing of the past. But

retrograde Saturn has dusted them off and has once again put them on

display, either for your attention alone or for everyone else to see.

Saturn may also redirect you toward your neglected spiritual path and

bring you humbly to your knees in an effort to reenergize your

relationship with God. Why not take advantage of Saturn's

encouragement?

 

 

 

This may not yet be the moment to alter one's present status as more

time is usually required to lay the groundwork for the upcoming

change. Though circumstances may dictate a shift at this time, ask

yourself whether or not you are emotionally and psychologically ready

for such a transition and if the answer is no, then more internal

work and preparation will likely need to be done first. Choose

introspection over extroversion.

 

 

 

It is not advisable to seek more responsibility at this time since

you may likely be saddled with unanticipated burdens and obligations.

As a city cannot expand its level of commerce without an improved

infrastructure, your outward growth and material development will

first require greater internal emotional and psychological strength

to meet the demands of your future expansion. This is the real

benefit of retrograde Saturn.

 

 

 

At this time, Saturn in the sky is in the sign of Cancer. If you have

planets in Cancer in your Vedic birth chart, it may prove to be a

more challenging time for you. If you have a Cancer Ascendant

(lagna), then expect to undergo a physical transformation. If you

have Sun in Cancer, then your health may be affected. If you have the

Moon in Cancer, this may prove a rather difficult emotional time for

you. If you have Mercury in Cancer, then your nervous system will

likely suffer through fear and stress. If you have Mars in Cancer,

you are likely to be at odds with your family. If you have Jupiter in

Cancer, there may be unexpected financial demands. If you have Venus

in Cancer, this may cause a breach in your relationship. If you have

Saturn in Cancer, you are currently undergoing a major change in your

life and resistance would not be your best course of action. If you

have Rahu in Cancer, you may have an overwhelming urge to withdraw

and spend time alone. If you have Ketu in Cancer, old tendencies

toward obsession, compulsion and addiction may be triggered.

 

 

 

Your comments regarding your experience of this period of retrograde

Saturn are much appreciated.

 

 

 

Warmly,
