Saturn, the planet of karmic correction, is retrograde in Aquarius from June 29 to November 15.
Saturn stations at 25 degrees Aquarius from June 13 to July 15, although his retrograde officially begins on June 29. Saturn slowly returns to 18 degrees Aquarius. He will be direct again on November 15 but stays at 18 degrees Aquarius until December 9.
Saturn retrograde usually gives us an experience of the pressure of Saturn. Saturn is powerful and close to Earth at this time, and his energy is focused.
Saturn often presents obstacles, responsibilities, or delays. Sometimes, we need to address matters of health. It is a time to reflect on the consequences of past actions and choices. Maybe we need to bring some wisdom of the past into present circumstances.
We may need to let go of attachments. Saturn often gives us work; we may need to redo, reorganize, or restructure something. Saturn will allow us time to do this because he will slowly go over a retrograde area three times before moving on.
Everyone will feel the effects of this Saturn retrograde to some extent. But if you have planets in Aquarius or are in a Saturn planetary period, you will feel the effects of this transit more intensely. And if your personal planets are within 18-25 degrees in Aquarius (especially your Moon, Sun, or rising sign), the effects of Saturn going over your personal planets are especially strong.
The US presidential election takes place on November 5th, during a time when Saturn is retrograde and stationed at 18 degrees Aquarius.
The planet Uranus is at 18 degrees Taurus in the United States chart. An exact square between transiting Saturn and a natal Uranus reveals a tension between permanence and change. Mars in Cancer will be closely opposed by Pluto in Capricorn, which can result in conflicting and ruthless energy. This presidential election occurs during an astrologically tense time, and the difficult aspect of a debilitated Mars opposite Pluto continues until June 2025.
Saturn will begin the retrograde in the Moon’s nakshatra, Purva Bhadrapada. The symbol for this nakshatra is a sword, which reflects a fight.
Saturn retrogrades into Shatabhisha nakshatra on October 3. This nakshatra means a hundred healers and expresses the need for healing.
Saturn represents karma, and Saturn’s retrograde in Aquarius shows us the need to harmonize with universal law.
“Be even-minded. Walk with courage. Go forward from day to day with calm, inner faith. Eventually, you will pass beyond every shadow of bad karma, beyond all tests and difficulties, and will behold at last the dawn of divine fulfillment.”

November 2024 is, not unexpectedly, a very intense month. We will see that Mars in Cancer is a major contributor to the drama.
