Saturn retrograde, September 2029
Saturn stations retrograde on Thursday 6 September 2029, 08:35 UTC at 25°01′ Taurus and turns direct on Saturday 19 January 2030, 03:54 UTC at 18°05′ Taurus. The shadow period runs from 2 June 2029 to 23 April 2030.
Between 6 September 2029 and 19 January 2030, Saturn appears to slow, stop and drift backward through Taurus. It stations retrograde at 25°01' Taurus and stations direct at 18°05' Taurus, a period of 134.8 days. The pre-retrograde shadow begins on 2 June 2029, and the post-retrograde shadow lasts until 23 April 2030.
In the astrological tradition, Taurus stands for resources, the body, comfort and what is built to last, while Saturn is read as the planet of structure, limits and responsibility. Astrologers treat Saturn retrograde as a time to revisit foundations rather than lay new ones. A practical step is to review the routines and agreements that support daily life, and to repair whatever has quietly worn thin.
