What Is Saturn Retrograding Doing To Relationships?

According to the astrologer Hanne Klein from the informative web site Astrology Guide For Kids tell us the good news that the astrology planet Saturn is in the final stages of retrograding through Libra, so what does that mean? It has been transiting through Libra the sign of one-to-one relationship since July 2010 and many people have had to take a closer look at their relationship. Saturn will move direct on 16th of June 2011 and continue its forward movement way into next year.

What does a retrograding planet do?

Each of the astrology planets have a certain tempo with which they move around the orbit of the sun. And the amazing thing is that when the earth travels past another slower moving planet at a more rapid pace then it seems like the slower planet is moving backward or retrograding as the astrologers calls it. This seemingly reverse action of the planet stops after a while and then continues moving straight forward again.

The interesting thing is that whenever people are affected by Saturn they are confronted by more responsibilities and commitment to their duties. Saturn retrograding can be a maturing time where you let go of things that are not working for you any more.

What Is Saturn’s effect on Libra

This is exactly what is happening with the retrograding Saturn’s transit through Libra at the moment but it will come to an end in the middle of June when it will reverse its course and move forward again. Libra rules relationships so this is a time for many people who are strongly influenced by Libra to re-examine their close relationships to see how well it is actually working. Is the relationship limiting in any way or do both people have the same ambitions and desires?

People born under the sign of Libra require balance in their lives and that is what Saturn will inspire in this sign as well as fairness and integrity. For there to be balance in a relationship each partner has to be feeling fulfilled but at the same time be willing to cooperate and compromise.

Whatever sign or planet Saturn resides in it will tend to draw out the qualities from that sign or planet and in Libra Saturn demand balance. But this is not going to happen straight away which can be frustrating but Saturn is a planet which slowly teaches you patience. When retrograding Saturn is travelling through a sign then there are lessons to be learned and in Libra it will be mostly around relationships.
