Saturn Rx 2022
Saturn has officially been retrograde for a week and the energy has been heavy, but necessary. Personally, I have been noticing the typical themes of discipline, structure, and accountability. It has been in Aquarius for quite some time, so I have become well-acquainted with trying to find a balance between my individualism and my role collectively. These ideas, of viewing ourself both alone and within the framework of society, has made a resurgence during this retrograde for me. The heightened social, political, and cultural events we are living through in America has reinforced internal questions that Saturn in Aquarius wants me to address. I have questioned both my advocacy AND complacency in a country (and world) that is literally going backwards in terms of equality (for example, the rampant onslaught of anti-abortion bills and “Don’t Say Gay” legislation we’ve seen introduced and passed in 2022 so far). This Saturn rx, I find myself noticing the disconnect between my values and the actions that reflect them. I find myself asking, “is there more work I can be doing?” Saturn is generally known as the planet of karma, but it’s also known to make you face the harsh reality of not practicing what you preach. This retrograde has me pondering how to raise awareness about the injustices in our country, actions that don’t include just a simple retweet button. Actions that don’t include a heated conversation with a friend who feels the same way. I feel Saturn in Aquarius’s presence when I wonder, what is collective effort to me? Where do I build or join community to help those that are voiceless, disenfranchised, the very victims of such malicious legislation? How do I hold myself accountable in these injustices? Am I doing my part in advocating for these people, who I want to passionately protect and help? Saturn has way of making you recognize your power, especially on whether you have been using or neglecting it. This Saturn rx, I want to walk in my truth, something I am often fearful of because of self-doubt and insecurity. I want to embrace the momentum that Saturn will assist me in when I choose to move, when I choose not to be a scared passenger anymore. I think I can do it, I think we can do it.
