Alright, so let’s talk about this whole Saturn retrograde thing in Aquarius for 2024. I’ve been keeping an eye on it since it kicked off back in June, and man, it’s been a ride.
I started by marking June 30th on my calendar. That’s when Saturn, this big, ringed planet, decided to go retrograde in Aquarius. The whole deal with Aquarius is that it’s all about new ideas and shaking things up, so I figured this retrograde was going to make me rethink some major stuff in my life.
- First thing I did: I started a journal. I know, it sounds a bit cliché, but I needed somewhere to dump all my thoughts and feelings during this period.
- Next: I made a list of my long-term goals. Saturn is kind of a taskmaster, so it seemed like a good time to get serious about what I want to achieve in the future.
The first few weeks were intense. I felt like I was questioning everything. My job, my relationships, even my daily routines. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. But I kept reminding myself that this was all part of the process.
Diving Deeper
As time went on, I started to see some patterns. I realized I was holding back a lot of emotions, pretending to be tough when deep down I was feeling vulnerable. Saturn retrograde in my twelfth house was really shining a light on that.
So, I made a conscious effort to be more open. With myself, with my friends, with my family. It wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. I started having some real, honest conversations with the people in my life.
Relationships Under the Microscope
Saturn’s also about relationships, and this retrograde really put mine to the test. I started to see which relationships were truly supporting my growth and which ones were holding me back.
- Tough decisions were made: I had to distance myself from some people who just weren’t on the same page as me anymore. It hurt, but it was for the best.
- New connections formed: On the flip side, I found myself connecting with people who shared my values and long-term vision. It was refreshing to be around folks who got me.
In general, it’s been a period of stripping away the things that no longer serve me. It’s like Saturn is forcing me to declutter my life, both physically and emotionally. And you know what? It’s kind of liberating. I’m feeling lighter, more focused, and more aligned with what I truly want.
Now that we’re nearing the end of this retrograde period in November, I’m actually feeling pretty good. Yeah, it was rough at times, but I feel like I’ve grown a lot. I’m more aware of my emotions, more intentional in my relationships, and more driven to pursue my goals. I guess Saturn retrograde isn’t so bad after all.
I am still journaling, reflecting, and making changes as needed. But overall, I feel like I’m on a good path. And I’m kind of excited to see what the future holds now that I’ve done some serious inner work during this Saturn retrograde.
