Saturn retrograding meaning and ending effects- Saturn direct October 23rd 2022 – Mature Empowerment
What time will Saturn go direct? When will Saturn be direct in 2022?
Saturn goes Stationary Direct at 05:08 on October 23rd 2022
In a nutshell, Saturn going direct ask us to move on past our limitations and to find a way to achieve the things we have been blocked from reaching.
When it has been in retrograde, to work with frustrations and to let go of confusion.
Especially the confusion of thinking we won’t have to make sacrifices and work hard to reach our goals.
The practical expression of ideas and communication
Saturn going direct gives us the green light to move forward.
It’s important to pay attention to the things that happen in your life from October 23rd until November 7th.
There is a new moon solar eclipse at this time. Also, eclipses tell us that now is the time to grow and are known to bring out essential life changes.
Revealing secrets bring cold and often harsh home truths to our attention
So, with Saturn going direct a few days before the partial lunar eclipse, it’s a sure thing that you will experience a call for transformation.
Whether you heed it or not is your choice, for we all have free will.
Saturn makes a trine to mercury when it goes direct, giving us the power to become more adept at taking practical action and improving our communication skills.
Letting us see clearly what ideas, relationships and habits are valuable and which ones we need to let go of.
The chance to use old wisdom from online resources or books or the advice of someone older and update it with modern terms and applications is given.
Supporting the need for discipline, concentration and consistent effort, although gentle, this energy supports making new plans and sticking to them.
Trine energy allows us to stay grounded and calm and efficiently overcome obstacles if we put in the effort.
Saturn is also in a long-term square with Uranus that lasts until December 12th 2022.
Which has been going on, on and off, for over a year now
Causing a clash between the new and the modern that has played its way out on a global level with the uprise of social and political discontent, wars, economic instability and a rise in addictive tendencies on the personal level.
We have had to choose between remaining the same or evolving into this new world the pandemic created for us in march 2020. Are you ready to become an authentic free individual, or will you keep conforming to societal and familial expectations?
What parts of your past should you bring into your new way of being, and what parts need to be understood, healed, and let go?
Finding the balance between freedom- spontaneity and structure- discipline.
On the global level, we will see significant changes in international and national politics, leadership, laws and procedures economics.
It’s been grim, but we know there is usually a lot of calm after the storm.
The lord of karma on the individual level is calling you to do all it takes to grow and become your best self.
Although it is hard, and you will experience many setbacks, with consistency, resilience, courage, faith and practical action, you can get where it is you want to go.
Upcoming Key dates of Saturn during its direct phases

Venus Square transit Saturn
You or others could place responsibilities before romance that may cause issues in relationships, at worse, separations, suitable for letting go of toxic relationships
November 10th 2022

Allows for serious thinking and action; negatively, people can be overly judgemental, can cause issues in all types of relations, and miscommunications and delays can further the frustration.

Sun Square transit Saturn
There can be abuses of power or conflicts with those in authority, delays in getting your point of view across or reaching influential people who could help you.
You will have to use mind over matter, take physical action to think positively, having patience and perseverance to reach your objectives.
It’s best not to take shortcuts; although you may be desperate and feel it’s best, it is not as you’re bound to have to do double the work for half the reward, as they say.
Separations could happen as well as breaking of legal contract terms.
November 28th 2022
Mars Trine transit Saturn
Gives the power of endurance, allowing you to work for long hours on the boring task.
Letting you put your all in to reach targets, disciplined action and use of your personal energy, money and other resources.
Starting what you finish, unstoppable willpower and determination.
Saturn gets a lot of negative feedback in astrology because it often limits us. However, because us humans often rush ahead into things on the physical and spiritual levels.
Without taking into account all the details and the steps, we will need to take to reach our goals.
Saturn is often seen as the great destroyer, but in reality, it is the great protector.
Often shielding individuals from our wrong ideas and choices because we crave the things we want intensely.
Even if they are no good for us, and we can cling to them incessantly, even if they are blocking our progress and abundance, we get mad when they are removed from us.
Saturn’s job is to get us to our end destination. If you believe in reincarnation, it’s the goals and experiences our soul- higher consciousness said it wanted to go through before we came into this lifetime.
In plain logical terms, it’s the goals we stop ourselves from going after because we feel or think we are not good enough or could never reach them.
Saturn’s vibration wants us to get honest about what it takes to progress in life. And this can hurt because the truth has a habit of doing that.
You will not be successful if you don’t do the hard work to reach your goals.
And yes, people do take shortcuts, but I think there is a fail-safe for that, as more often than not, even if someone gets what they want through lies and deceit.
They are never truly happy internally about their actions. Even if, on the surface, they appear to be the poster child for happiness.
And yes, we can win lotteries and things, but most lotto winners are poor after big wins.
Why?
Because it takes a well-trained mind to not self-destruct, and let’s face it.
Most humans are programmed to self-destruct via negative thoughts, behaviour or relationship patterns.
Saturn delivers the consequences of our actions by punishing or rewarding us, determined by our life choices. Saturn is the great humbler of our ambitions.
Showing us that says yes, you can be all you want to be, but as snoop dog says, are you prepared to pay the cost to be the boss- CEO of your life?
Saturn is going direct in Capricorn on September 23rd. Saturn is a cardinal earth sign that pushes us to take action to fulfil our ambitions.
It teaches us the correct use of reputation- status, power and wealth.
Saturn direct wants us to learn from the retrograde phase, where we were more reflective, trying to push forward but being forced to stay still as Saturn wanted to teach us.
So as Saturn goes direct, you may want to ask yourself these questions
What things were you blocked from achieving when Saturn was direct? How can you overcome these blocks to achieve your goals?
Whatever you put your life force and actions towards during the previous retrograde period will return to you now.
If you put out good vibes, then these will come back. If you were overly negative, you would have to face the consequences of these actions.
As a holistic astrologer and from my own experience, I know we cannot stop the repercussions of our past actions or life.
Still, we can make ourselves strong enough to keep on going through the storms and dark nights of the soul.
Even if we have to crawl during these times, Saturn’s main goal is to throw light on our bad decisions and behaviours as well as our negative personalities traits that make us interact with others in harmful- undesirable ways/
Saturn wants us to start or continue to change our negative actions and thought patterns, becoming aware of our weaknesses and strengths so we can work with them.
Cultivating- growing a healthier lifestyle for yourself by taking personal responsibility for your life and its direction, giving up on controlling others and being the victim of circumstances.
The world will always throw us lemons; all we can do is make lemonade. There is no perfect time, but you can find perfection, self-understanding, love and awareness in accepting your flaws.
Being who you really are can be scary, especially when they are so many voices in society telling you who you are or should be.
Sometimes you have to walk it alone to reach and live your best life.
Be alert to the conversations, people and external events that cross your path, but be more vigilant of your feelings about what’s happening in your life.
Saturn direct wants you to think about your goals, set a strategic plan to get them, and research tools and support systems to help you reach and maintain your goals.
Now is the time to rethink your commitments and set boundaries..
Saturn going direct is the time to move forward despite any limitations.
If you want to change jobs, take steps to do so. If you want more professional qualifications or to be promoted in your current job.
Look into what it will take to reach your targets, and take steps to get there.
Now is the time to build order-structure- routine into your life and increase your self-discipline, willpower, resilience and consistency
As Saturn moves more into its direct motion, you will begin to find solutions to your problems.
Things that you have been putting off for months, you will be able to start them now if you make the conscious choice to.
Suddenly blocks that you may have experienced for months or years may magically be removed now, yet you will have to keep applying yourself daily to maintain this sudden fortunate change in circumstances.
Although some of you will go through drastic changes that are not fortunate.
Remember what is said earlier about Saturn removing the things that need to be gone, so we can live our best lives.
It may not be pleasant if a job or relationship ends right now, but in the future, you will be able to see it was meant to be and was for the best.
Although Saturn can be cruel at times.
Know in the long run, Saturn’s energy and all astrological placements and transits are just calling you and helping you reach your highest potential.
