Hello, my name is Christopher Wrenstrom and I'm your weekly horoscope columnist here on Astrology hub. And this week I wanted to talk to you about Saturn, turning retrograde in

Aquarius on June 4th. Now Saturn will be turning retrograde in Aquarius for the last time until it departs the sign in March 2023.

This is as significant as it sounds, this final retrograde.

So what is it that we have to expect

with Saturn turning retrograde in the zodiac sign of Aquarius?

Now, Saturn, we know, is the planet of tests, trials, and tribulations.

Saturn withholds things from our easy and eager grasp and makes us work very hard for the objectives that we want to attain.

So one would think with Saturn turning retrograde and retrogrades often signifying when a planet

is acting or behaving in the opposite manner that it does when it's moving direct through the sky, one would think that maybe,

Saturn turning retrograde, that might be a time when things are easier, when we can relax and actually

maybe expect to get somewhere. Well, unfortunately, that's not the way that Saturn works.

Saturn is always the planet of tests, trials, and tribulations,

whether it's moving direct in the sky or backwards in the sky

during the time of a retrograde. But retrogrades are very interesting periods of time that planets enter into.

As I said before, we often expect them to act contrary or opposite to the way that they do when they're moving directly through the heavens, but actually a retrograde sort of introduces a kind of twist, a kind of reversal of the planet, a kind of

sense of irony. And indeed retrogrades, in my opinion, can be just as enlightening and illuminating as when a planet is moving direct in the sky and maybe even perhaps more so.

So for this period of time of Saturn moving retrograde in the zodiac sign of Aquarius, I want you to keep in mind two ideas as I begin to describe them. Again, Saturn is the planet of tests, trials, tribulations, and it's moving through Aquarius, which is basically the zodiac sign of utopia. So what we have here is this idea of Saturn moving through a sign which is all about the way that we would imagine the perfect society to be, the way that we would imagine the perfect world to be.

A world of equanimity, a world where everyone is welcome,
