Saturn is the planet that allows us to look at ourselves and offers us the knowledge of what our soul needs in order to reach it's purpose in this lifetime. By gaining this knowledge we will be able to know what our purpose is. We can then set our intent and move forward on our path.
Saturn is the "Director" in our lives. It directs back to the script we wrote. It is always important to know that the original intent of every souls script is love. Love being truth. With this we are given us conscious mind that allows us to make the right choices.
When we are in a Saturn Retrograde we are forced to look back at our choices. We slowly drift back to different situations that we have created on our path and ask ourselves if these situations have been for our highest good and if the answer is no, we must then ask ourselves why? Why did we make these choices and how can we avoid repeating these choices.
During a Saturn Retrograde you may worry about what everyone thinks and base your actions on their reactions. We may feel like giving up because we are frustrated with being faced with the past. Feelings of being drained are common during this period. In reality the Saturn Retrograde is really helping you to manifest your true purpose. Remember, that every person and situation in your life is a mirror to who you are. See yourself stepping into a room of mirrors and look at who is there. If you truly look deep within yourself and recognize that your true purpose is the same as every living soul you will find it easier to honor the mirrors in your life and learn from them. You will be able to embrace purpose and set your intent for the future.
