Could you elaborate on your retro Saturn response? How would this manifest? An example would be nice.

Thank you.

Direct Saturn may overdo from feeling responsbile for others (from a belief that it is your job).

Retrograde Saturn does it because he is responsive to their pain--in other words, he will take responsibility for others because it is the only way he can stop feeling their pain.

The problem of Saturn and responsibility is that so often it is learned as "responsibility for others." In fact, we are only responsible of ourselves and our minor children. Taking responsibility for yourself often means learning to say "no" to those prefer not to expend their own energy and/or solve their own problems.

For the direct person, boundaries only need be set on what you will do for others--how much time and energy you will spend. A good guide is to be willing to help them become more independant so that they no longer need help.

For the retrograde person, it becomes necessary to set some boundaries for your own protection.

Here is a method for setting boundaries of protection:

Setting Boundaries
Imagine a circle around you. It can be as big or as small as you can believe. You can always enlarge it later. This circle encloses your space. You are the master, the boss of that space. You make the rules.

Now, define that space so that it keeps out unwanted attitudes and experience.
EXAMPLE: Those who would wish me harm, liars, abusers, betrayers, etc. must stay outside.
You can always add new definitions as needed.
EXAMPLE: Those who need to solve their own problems.

NEVER: use the boundary to exclude specific people, only attitudes and actions. In this way, others have the option to change should they wish to stay in your life.
