This week takes us deeper into a reflective journey of self-study as Saturn, the Planet of Karma and Responsibility, initiates its retrograde. Between July 12 and November 27, Saturn will retrace its steps, allowing us to review the progress we’ve made in the past few months. Let’s remember that Saturn recently left Pisces to enter Aries on May 24th. This exact point in the sky is very important, as it represents the very end and the very beginning of the entire Zodiac wheel. For this reason, this Saturn Retrograde feels much more eventful than in any other year.
Between now and September 1st, Saturn retraces its steps in the sign of Aries, asking us to review all the progress we’ve made in this area of our chart. Below is a ritual to help you align with the first part of the retrograde of Saturn, according to your Rising sign.
