Saturn Direct in Sagittarius, 2018

Saturn will be turning direct tomorrow in Sagittarius. With Saturn turning direct, we will have all 5 planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) in direct motion for about 1 month now. Retrograde motion is about looking backwards and Direct Motion is about moving forwards.

So this year was special when we had all 5 planets going retrograde one after the other. It shows that we had lots of back & forth movement during the year. We thought back at many things from past times or we had lots of back and forth in making decisions. We might have repeated many a things to ourselves and others since retrograde season started in March, 2018 with Jupiter turning retrograde. Also, retrograde is time when things get intense in our lives as planets not only are closer to Earth but they are very slow in their movement. So, their energy reaches to us intensely. As things don't move as per desired speed, retrograde season makes us to work harder than normal times.

Within this retro-direct motion, a planet is most intense when it is stationed. This is the time when planet slows down, stops and changes its direction. So, its energy gets stuck or intensified at the place where it gets stuck. This is somewhat we were feeling from last week as Saturn got stationed. Stress level has just gone to a new level.

Now, as all the planets will be moving forward in next one month, it is time to not to reflect back at any action you took in the past or any decision you took in last 4-5 months and start moving forward with that decision, come what may. It is like enough of overthinking, repeating things and reassessing your decisions. It is about moving forward with those decisions.

Also, whichever matters were stuck in last 5 months, now we can expect them to move forward and this situation will remain till the next retrograde season next year. So, it is now time to reap the results of your hard work of last 5 months. Also, if anyone hasn't done any hard work then he will reap results accordingly.Retrograde season is also time to go back and correct your old mistakes. So, if someone hasn't done so then he will get results accordingly.

Finally, the last retrograde of the year will take place from Oct, 6th. I already posted a lot on Venus and relationship in recent times but astrology is so vast and my interest in this topic is so deep that there is always something new to tell. Venus retrograde normally is the time where relationship gets tough and people may break-up or separate. It is because Venus is love or partner and retrograde is about going backwards. So, love or partner can go backward from life in this time. There is also a concept that past lovers come back in this time. I am not too sure about it as I haven't seen much of it in people lives. I mean people may have seen past lovers coming back in life but not necessarily it will turn in reunion. For reunion, both charts and dashas should also indicate towards relationship during Venus retrograde. Plus it can be more a case with someone born with Venus retrograde but even there lots of conditions apply.

Time to move forward in life now.
