Today, Saturn, the planet of structure, responsibility, and karmic lessons, begins its retrograde journey at 21:07 PT. While the word retrograde often stirs unease, this is a moment to embrace with openness. Saturn retrograde isn’t about setbacks—it's about deep review. It invites us to reflect on the foundations we've built, the commitments we've made, and the boundaries we've drawn. This transit asks: Are you living by your own truth, or someone else's rules?

Saturn retrograde is about revisiting long-term patterns. Your birth chart holds the blueprint of your karmic lessons and inner architecture, today offers a profound chance to understand the cycles you’re meant to restructure and the soul contracts ready to evolve.

"I honor the timing of my life and trust that every pause holds purpose.."

Earlier today, something didn’t go quite as planned. Nothing catastrophic, but just enough to make me pause. My first reaction was frustration, why now? why me? But as the day unfolded, I remembered: not everything that feels like a block is actually working against us. Sometimes life reroutes us to show us something we missed, to offer a second glance.

Retrogrades, like this one, remind me of those moments. We resist them at first. We call them delays or bad timing. But if we look closer, they offer clarity we might’ve rushed past otherwise. When Saturn reverses, it’s like life whispering, “Slow down, look again.”

I’ve noticed that some of the most beautiful turns in my life started with what I thought were missteps. They forced me to reassess what I valued, how I showed up for others, and more importantly, how I showed up for myself. It wasn’t about failure. It was about refinement.

Saturn retrograde is here to help us refine, not punish. It’s a cosmic invitation to revisit our structures, our goals, and the responsibilities we carry.

Are they really ours? Or have we inherited them unconsciously?

When you stop fighting the discomfort, something incredible happens: peace. Not the easy kind, but the earned kind. The peace that comes when you realize you're allowed to pause, to realign, to shift your trajectory.

So today, instead of fearing the retrograde, I welcomed it. I journaled. I asked myself: What if nothing is wrong? What if this is a doorway, not a wall?

And you know what? It felt good. Freeing. Like something inside me softened just enough to say yes—to reflection, to growth, to this slower, wiser rhythm.
