Mercury Retrograde may be over, but today marks the beginning of Saturn Retrograde in the sign of Aries. This planetary retrograde, lasting five months, is all about reassessing our long-term plans and the daily choices we make for our future. Its being in the sign of fiery and ambitious Aries means that we should be focusing our energies on commitments that are actually productive and truly aligned with what we want for ourselves. Saturn is the planet of karma, so expect that our decisions during this time will create a lasting effect on us.
Here’s how Saturn Retrograde will affect each zodiac sign this week!
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
You are struggling to control your explosive emotions right now. While it’s important to feel all the feels, you also need to know when it’s time to pull yourself together. Dwelling too much on your issues will prolong your suffering. Take a look at all the facts and realize that all pain is temporary. There is still so much beauty in the world! Appreciate all the good things happening to you, no matter how small they may seem.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You want so badly to stay in control of your life by sticking to what you know and staying within your comfort zone. But this fear of change will only inhibit your growth. Let go of what’s familiar so you can reach your fullest potential! Trust that success and fulfillment are in the cards for you as long as you stay true to who you are.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Be careful about your impulsive decision-making just to maintain control of things because you may not realize that it may be hurting your relationships. You don’t need to have everything in order always. When life feels off-balance like this, just prioritize activities that will give you joy. Have patience, put in the work, and focus on what’s important to you.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
You are almost at the finish line, but something is standing in the way, hindering you from reaching your goals. Don’t let these obstacles discourage you! Don’t run away just so you can save yourself from potential disappointment. After all, it’s through hardship that you can grow and learn. Trust that you are more than capable of handling anything that’ll be thrown your way.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Despite all the challenges you’ve faced, you’ve managed to make it through, stronger and wiser than ever. Use this as validation to keep going and stay on track! Be proud of how far you’ve come and for staying true to who you are, no matter what people say about you. You deserve all this success and more. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
You are currently feeling at odds with yourself, especially when your actions aren’t aligned with what you truly feel. Trying to bottle up your emotions will lead to more harm than good. So take this time to reflect on what your heart is telling you and muster the courage to do what you love. Lots of opportunities are out there, so live your life to the fullest and seize them!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
You are now feeling frustrated because you’ve been doing so much and yet you’re not getting the results you’ve been hoping for. You need to shift your perspective on why you’re doing all this in the first place; it’s not so you can gain something, it’s so you can grow and learn from your experiences. So empower yourself by creating opportunities for yourself instead of waiting for them to happen. Be free to be yourself!
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You have recently faced disappointment and have done some inner work to overcome it with patience and grace. That’s not an easy thing to do, so be proud of yourself for that! Center yourself and remind yourself of all the simple joys of life to motivate you to keep going. Take it step by step; you don’t have to push yourself to the physical limit just to achieve success. Sometimes, you just need to let the universe work its magic.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You don’t need to be the best to feel fulfilled. Remember that your desire to have everything won’t actually improve your life, but will rather lead to more consequences. Think about your goals and your motivations in achieving them. Eventually, you’ll realize your potential when you allow yourself to grow.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Current conflict has you stuck in a seemingly endless loop of stress and anxiety, and you need to work towards leaving all this drama behind. Don’t waste your energy trying to make people validate your opinions; all the approval you need is from your own self. The road ahead may seem confusing to you now, but if you just take it one step at a time, you’ll eventually get to where you need to be.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Your vision isn’t going according to plan and it’s upsetting you, knowing that you are meant for something more than what you’re currently getting. But instead of focusing on the negatives, you should channel all your energy into hard work so that things will eventually start coming together.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Remember that, for beautiful things to happen, you must have patience. Nothing is ever built in a day. Allow yourself to pour out your feelings into the small details so that the work becomes something more joyous and fulfilling for you to accomplish, no matter how long it takes.
