Explain please, refining like getting rid of the negatives?

I thought it brings up more negativity and causes one to take responsibility. In the case of Saturn retrograde for example...

More like going over something to see what might have been overlooked. If it includes bringing up negativity, it's more for the purposes of ironing them out and learning from that negativity.

Yeah, in my chart, Saturn retrograde is a real pain in the a**. On another note, I do tend to have self discipline at times. Maybe it's just more inconsistent with the retrograde motion?

Well I don't have Saturn retrograde but I can concur with what you said.

Is it ok to go to the dentist during Saturn Retorgrade...?

Saturn does rule teeth and bones so I'm kind of cautious about that now that it is retrograde.

Is it ok to get dental work done during this period?

I feel blocked and impeded at every turn, like fate is totally against me and wants to destroy me blah blah blah Saturn can be even more relentless and ponderous retrograde. It's good for writing though. Can get into that really obsessive vein of thought with it, so it isn't completely horrid, just a little. Maybe this is why it feels "refined?" Because of this ability to really go deep? It might be part of the Saturn retrograde experience?

“Saturn is in a fixed water sign Scorpio, and this can portend a time of self discovery, with more inner show downs during the retrograde period. Don’t forget that Scorpio is a sign of emotional courage — this bodes well for profound healing, facing what we’ve been too afraid to face.”

Right now, nuisance. I am trying to explain this latest round of chaos surrounding me by looking at transits. I am sure the explanation is there somewhere. Maybe it is Saturn being Saturn but probably more Uranus square Pluto like someone already mentioned in another thread.

let's say, a couple broke up, things were not working out at all, horrible.
had been better it stayed that way...
and, then, they get back together during saturn in scorpio, the retrograde phase.
is saturn here supposed to strengthen things? or is there the possibility
that things will break up again after the saturn transit? (whether it is after saturn goes direct or when saturn moves to saggitarius?)

party a has saturn in scorpio retrograde
pary b has saturn in scorpio

Oddly, I find Saturn keeps me bound to people I feel lukewarm towards more than anything else. I can't bear the thought of living without them but have no idea why. Let's just say I feel no passion towards them yet so comfortable knowing I can talk to them. They are like the car I have my entire life not because I like it, just because I have had it a while...
