<\/a><\/div>\n

Saturn in Libra is moving into retrograde phase today. If you consider that Saturn acts as a type of container, his apparent backwards motion partly relates to holding the space of whatever you\u2019ve been trying to manifest, particularly in terms of the most important relationships (Libra) in your life. This signifies a five-month phase in which you get to re-evaluate your soul tribe \u2013 that is, the collection of peeps who may or may not be related by blood but who, regardless, share your vision. Though they may be friends, lovers, colleagues, or relatives, they hold the same (non-physical) space as you. You are each other\u2019s supports. Though some may equate a planet in retrograde motion as a block, I see this as an opportunity to do a check in. How are your key relationships? Who\u2019s in the core group that you\u2019re taking with you for the foreseeable future? If you\u2019re comfortable with Saturn\u2019s strongly authoritarian pulse, you understand that you are the authority on who you desire or need in your life \u2013 and who you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

At the moment that Saturn in Libra moves into retrograde, his only aspect is a square to Mercury in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn – so we see a second important connection between these two planets), suggesting that the main lesson behind this five-month phase is to re-train (Saturn) your ability to think (Mercury) concretely about what it will take to shore up the infrastructures (Capricorn) in your life. This time is about giving some very specific focus to what it will take to create a more cohesive collective in your life. This is also an opportunity to re-evaluate what you require in your job situation in order to derive greater meaning from it. Saturn retrograde\u2019s energy is also a call to give some deep thought about the ways in which you need to step up and assume greater responsibility down the road – for your sake, as well as for the sake of the key people in your life. <\/p>\n

Because this type of thinking relies heavily on your ability to cast a long glance into the future, it helps greatly that the Sun and Mars are conjunct in the sign of futuristic Aquarius. Your long-range planning is supported, with the aim of considering your personal ambitions (Mars) along with the greater needs of the collective (Sun). Moreover, Jupiter\u2019s fresh entry into Aries<\/a> signals a call for a new type of self-awareness, which is what Aries energy is all about. Jupiter\u2019s energy can be put to greatest beneficial use by seeing yourself as a vital spark (Aries) in the cosmic furnace, and then planning how you can best weave your unique gifts into the whole pattern (Jupiter), so that the highest good can be served for all. Saturn retrograde compliments this process by helping you tweak your circle of most important people. If you need to delete anyone from your inner circle, this would be the time. Be brave (Jupiter in Aries) and be gracious (Saturn in Libra)!<\/p>\n
