About Saturn Direct in Capricorn
When a planet is retrograde, it appears to be moving slower in a backward direction. The point of every retrograde period with every planet is that the planet is not moving forward, and thus the themes of that planet in that sign and in your specific chart are not moving forward either.
Saturn retrograde is a very karmic period, as Saturn is a planet of karma and time. There’s been a lot of “hurry up and wait” for many during this period, and that period has been immediately connected to your karmic path.

All in all, this is a time for you to work on what you want to achieve. Saturn direct enables us to start taking responsibility. We enter a period where we think, “okay, fine, if this is how it has to be then I’m going to make the best of it.”

Saturn direct in Capricorn has no time for slacking or tantrum-throwing. You need to make smart choices, practice discipline and maturity, create plans that you stick to, and act responsibly. Saturn doesn’t reward you for taking shortcuts or being inconsiderate or not growing up. That makes Saturn really mad, and then comes the Saturn drama!
