The Saturn - Planet of Organizing and Stabilizing
Saturn retrogrades are also important in astrology
All the events happening on earth are influenced by the energy emitted from the ten celestial bodies.
If you can master these energies well, nature and fortune will be on your side, and you can draw in big chances and happy events.
So let’s learn the power and significance that each celestial body has.
Today, I’ll explain about “Saturn”, the planet that cuts off unimportant things and secures good luck.
Characteristics of Saturn’s energy
Among the solar system, Saturn is the second-largest planet after Jupiter, and is well-known for its halo.
Saturn stays for about two and a half years in one moon sign, and goes around the twelve moon signs in approximately 29 years.
Saturn may seem plain compared to Jupiter or Venus, but when a life-changing event occurs, Saturn is involved almost 100% of the time.
Let’s look at some examples.
Strengths of Saturn, the planet of adjustment and stability
Stability, solidifying
Social position
Tradition
Reality
Habits
Patience, effort
Your superiors
Cut off unimportant things/adjustment
Lack of confidence, self-esteem
Karma, life-long challenges
Saturn’s power of stabilizing is truly incredible. People getting promoted from part-time to full-time employees, or lovers tying the knot…
Don’t be intimidated by its other alias which people refer to, “the planet of challenges”, and take advantage of Saturn’s power! Saturn really is a powerful ally when your life is going through big changes. So, no matter how much you enhance other planets’ power, it won’t stay long without Saturn’s energy.
During Capricorn’s Triple Great Conjunction in 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will enter the same moon sign, and this means that, whatever fortune you gain through Jupiter, Saturn is there to preserve it.
In this sense also, it’s recommended to be on good terms with Saturn.

What happens during Saturn’s retrograde
All eight planets except for Sun and Moon go through retrogrades.
In astrology, retrograde means that the planet cannot display its power to the fullest.
Moreover, the energy which was supposed to be emitted outward stays within, and this brings effect to the terrestrial world in many ways.
Saturn’s retrograde occurs once a year, and it lasts for about four and a half months.
During this period, the following things tend to happen.
Struggle with things that were going smoothly so far
Your karma (negative habits or liabilities from the past building up) will emerge as a weakness or complex

I hope I didn’t scare people… But you see, Saturn’s retrograde is indispensable because it helps to balance unstable things.
