Today, Saturn, the Lord of karma turns retrograde at 9° Capricorn and will appear to travel backwards until the 6th of September when it will turn direct at 2°. Saturn retrograde is a period where we live out the consequences of our past actions and decisions. So if we've caused pain to another person at any point in our lives, during the retrograde we may experience ourselves how we made the other person feel.

Karma is an energy that we create, it isn't an external influence from outside of ourselves and we have full control over the type of energy that we choose to allow in our lives. The planets are a reflection of us and the choices that we've made under free will - The stars impel, they don't compel.

Saturn retrograde is also a time when we may reap the benefits of our wise choices, and we may get a break from any difficulties that we've been experiencing since the start of the year. During this transit, life may feel like it's slowing down, and we get an opportunity to review Saturnian themes like responsibility, structures, boundaries, discipline and authority.

The retrograde period helps us to break any negative cycles or behavioural patterns so we can experience the joy of a happy life and healthy relationships. Saturn is a hard taskmaster, but he helps us to grow if we understand his lessons properly.
