Saturn is the planet of delays, restriction, patience and reaching a goal step by step. Saturn is a serious dude. He is the picture of a stern father. He is not an abusive but he will make you earn your allowance. He won’t lavish it on you freely. He will make you eat your vegetables before you have dessert. Saturn is the planet which rules Capricorn. Capricorn has strong shoulder with which to the weather the storms of life.One can lean on him when one needs sustenance. He is an old fashioned type. He hails old fashioned values such as loyalty and friendship. He is out of touch with modern society and it’s throw away relationships.Saturn is the bearer of Capricorn traits to the places in the chart which Saturn touches. So, all of us have Capricorn’s influence in our charts by way of Saturn.

Saturn Retro is an uber Saturn. Saturn Retro works and re-works Saturn. The Retrograde planets are a deep entering into the bowels of the planet. The native must understand all the planet entails in order to use that energy at all. The person with the Direct Saturn does not need to do so. The Direct Saturn individual does not have to develop the serious nature of the Retro Saturn. The Retro Saturn will develop a depth and a serious attitude toward life. He may be more mature and responsible. He has a deeper intimacy with the planet if he takes that journey . In middle age, he may loosen up as Saturn rewards one with maturity.Part of maturity is the ability to loosen up. Middle aged Retro Saturns do learn to laugh a little more as a result of the struggle. Retro Saturn is hard but brings rewards if one persists, which is true to the nature of Saturn.

The Retrograde planet is the kid who must stay home and look out the window while the other kids are playing . He cannot join because he must help his mother with the dishes. When he is done, the kids have all gone home. The life of the native of a Retrograde planet is different in the domain which the planet rules. Mercury Retrograde is the most common.This makes learning quirky. However, Mercury Retrograde is a positive Retrograde, in my humble opinion. I have it so can speak from experience. One has to learn in very methodical ways. The person must learn step by step. He cannot miss a step or he loses the whole trend and may have to start over. There is a building block type of learning.However,once he has it he can fly novel places . He can take what he has learned and fly unlike the traditionally Mercury.He may have strange quirks as not being able to copy mirror image movements but it is well made up for with flights of pure genius. The most important concept to remember with Retrograde planets is recycle. They go round and round trying to find the way out. When/if they do, they will be wise old owls. If they don’t, they seem locked in some nether place.

Each retrograde planet has the same way of inner working even though the domain of each planet is distinct. . The planet Neptune rules the sign of Pisces and the Twelfth House of the Zodiac .Neptune is the planet of spirituality, mysticism, God, creativity, drugs and alcohol. Lets think about Neptune for a moment. Neptune rules any state which takes us out of our earth bound existence. This may be as simple as a day dream or a fantasy. The perfect life to a strongly Neptunian person would be a life lived in a musical. Neptune loves sweet things, kind things, warm things. Most especially, Neptune does not like harsh things. Hence, the reference to musicals. How nice to live inside a musical such as Cinderella or My Fair Lady. Neptune is a real part of life, just not all. The strongly Neptunian person must find some way to make life meet his ideals as he cannot part with them. Can a tiger change his stripes or a leopard his spot?. Such is the case with the strongly Neptunian soul. He exists in another age, IF it has ever existed. He is a fine gentleman dancing with fine ladies. There exists no sorrow, no ego, no pain, no death. In Neptune’s world, it is all about superceding this earthly existence. He does it through love, but transcendent love, not the cheap variety. He does it through the arts, transcendent music and art. He does it through meditation and spirituality. He does it through service to others. The Neptunian person can transcend.There are well worn paths tread by both saints and sinners.They call him to follow for he must choose—-the heights or the depths. For the Neptune Retrograde native, he has a deeper relationship with Neptune . He is not content to attend a church service and bolt out the door at the end. He wants to KNOW God . He is the antithesis of a superficial person. He is as deep as the oceans which Neptune rules. The Neptune Retrograde native approaches Neptune’s domains as the church goer in the previous example. He must imbibe them. That is the hallmark of any Retro planets. They must dive into the deep end. They are not content to splash in the shallow. They were made to find out what makes that planet tick or die in the doing.
