What is Saturn in retrograde?

Saturn Retrograde 2024 started on June 29 and will continue till November 15. When viewed from Earth, it creates an optical illusion that Saturn is moving backwards, hence the term ‘Saturn is in retrograde’. Saturn is the ruler of communication, boundaries, limitations, responsibilities, and career. So, when Saturn is in retrograde, there would be a delay in communication and a likely chance of things not going as planned. But don’t worry, because this 4-month period also allows us to slow down and reconsider things. Read on to find out how Saturn retrograde affects your zodiac sign.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

The Saturn retrograde 2024 is giving you a wake-up call to change your behaviour, existing patterns, and how you treat people in your closest relationships. It is a good time to step back from everything and look at the bigger picture to understand what’s taking you ahead and what’s stagnating your process. Once you have a fair idea, draft new goals and focus on prioritising yourself and switching up some habits you know will hold you down.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

It’s time to get real about who’s your friend, who’s an acquaintance, and who’s just an audience watching your every move closely to see what benefits them. The retrograde asks you to assess your top-tier people and eliminate the ones who don’t align with your life anymore. It can be tough to cut ties, but it’s better to let go of dead weight and find new people who align with your future self.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

You may be in the middle of changing cities, jobs, and even relationships to get yourself the best of everything. But sometimes, in the grand scheme of things, those decisions might be less fruitful than you thought. Does that mean you have to stick with them just because? The retrograde suggests taking your time to see what’s working for you and what’s not. If something is not working, don’t sit with your hands tied behind your back, instead make the switch for something better.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

The Saturn retrograde 2024 urges you to step back from your personal and professional life and see what has changed. You might not find joy in hanging out with the same people you’ve always hung out with. You might not feel as productive at your job as you used to. There could be a shift in things because they aren’t working out for you anymore. So, instead of being stuck in a loop ’cause you are comfortable, the retrograde suggests revamping your social and professional circles for more fulfilment and contentment.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

All’s well when it’s going smoothly, Leo, but that doesn’t mean a thing or two can’t be changed for the better. The retrograde in Pisces reminds you to be more honest and open in your relationships about what floats your boat and what gets on your nerves. It is the time to deepen your relationships by opening yourself up to your partner and letting them know more about your needs, desires and icks.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Dearest Virgo, the retrograde suggests you seek more balance in your life. There might be some sectors in which you prosper, but others haven’t seen the light of day or any behavioural improvement. So, use this period to pay attention to those sectors and understand what you can fully commit to and what doesn’t need to be on your plate.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

You might be working around the clock, Libra, but is it taking you closer to your long-term goals? The retrograde period asks you to slow down and find what you aim to achieve first. It applies to both your personal and professional life because, at the moment, you might feel like you are succeeding, but make sure that whatever is happening in the present is aligning with your future, else it’s a waste of time and effort.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

The Saturn Retrograde 2024 is asking you to start putting down the walls you’ve made up and let yourself be the core you. That is what this period asks you to connect to — your core self. So, find things that harness your creativity, bring you joy, and focus on building nurturing relationships that bring contentment to your life. Letting go of all the resentment for a person, place, or job is your task for the retrograde period, as that will lead you to a more rounded self.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

You’re an experimental and spontaneous being, Sagittarius. But the retrograde is asking you to go back to your roots. It can be exhilarating to try new things, meet new people, and develop new tastes in life. But every once in a while, going back to your roots and your older self can be equally fulfilling. So, use this retrograde period to revive old hobbies and connections, and go back to friends and family who’ve stood like a pillar of strength for you.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

The retrograde asks you to reflect on how you interact with people and put your ideas forward. If you feel you could be a little more creative, take on a bigger challenge, or even switch up your ways of doing everyday tasks. Don’t hold back. You might be surprised by how these small changes can make you feel more confident and approachable. But remember to set boundaries when it comes to people, both personally and professionally.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Saturn Retrograde 2024 is here to give you a reality check and make you understand the importance of financial planning. Yeah, all those spontaneous trips you take, all those random shopping sprees, and spending money like you have a river flowing needs to change. You need to be more mindful of where you put your money and how it comes back to you. You need to invest in yourself and build a better financial plan to save yourself from being absolutely helpless in case of emergencies.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Being a hustler is alright, Pisces, as long as it gets you your desired result. But if it is not benefitting you, maybe it is time to take a step back and see what you can do differently. This retrograde in Pisces asks you to take care of yourself financially, physically, mentally, and socially. Paying attention to yourself and reflecting on how your needs and wants might have changed and working towards them will allow you to be more in sync with your present self.
