Saturn retrograde in Aries wants to know if you're really going to do the thing.
Saturn does its gestation retrograde now, all the way to December 10th. If you're 27 to 30, or moving into your late 50s and early 60s, this might be your Saturn return. Saturn is the planet of structure, the planet that binds and holds things together, the foundation we stand on. The feeling, the process of earning something, that's what Saturn is really focused on. If it's just handed to you, trust and believe you'll find a reason to complain about how easy it was.
Now put that next to Aries. Aries wants to do this, wants to do this, wants to do this, has the desire, and starts four different projects around it. Saturn goes: a desire is not enough. You gotta do something with it, and you gotta do it consistently. How many of us are wannabes? I want to be this, I want to be this, and Saturn's like, okay, we'll do it, but I want it to come easy. This platform took a decade's worth in the making before it became anything bountiful. There are still days I get up and don't want to do it. How much of that is an excuse that would sabotage me if I let it?
Saturn presents a mountain. The mountain is that of self. You gotta get over yourself. Retrograde is not Saturn sitting back and just going, okay, whatever, you deal with it. It's a concentration and amplification, Saturn standing across the table asking if you're really going to do it. Courage doesn't just find you. Courage is found in the doing, sculpted with every fear, every impulse. I had to fall on my face and face my imposter syndrome before I could stand here and say any of this.
Only you know who you are. Only you know what you're capable of, and it's time to prove it. Look at where Saturn's hitting your chart. That's the arena this is playing out in.
For my Saturn return babies: you got this. Mine is one of the most transformative eras of my life. Tell me where Saturn's landing for you, and what you're finally doing about it.
