In astrology, the planet Saturn is known to be the “greater malefactor,” a karmic celestial being who teaches us important life lessons. Saturn is austere, rigid, responsible and resilient. Once a year, Saturn is retrograde for approximately four-and-a-half months. In 2024, Saturn’s retrograde will run from June 29 to November 15 in the water sign of Pisces. Even though it’s an optical illusion, we’ll feel the weight of this astrological transit immensely on Earth, and it’ll urge us to make extreme decisions in our lives that will augment the future for better or worse. The retrograde offers us time to reassess our options.
