Saturn in Aquarius supports adjusting to the concepts of the current situation while providing the needed innovation and fluidity to change systems…the structures, practices and processes.
In the shadows since late February, Saturn has presented an opportunity to experience specific themes {noted below in detail} in the present.
As Saturn officially begins to retrograde tomorrow, June 4, 2022, there is enhanced energy to bring new perspectives to your structures and responsibilities with these same themes until it moves direct October 23, 2022.
What is your Saturn in?
Individual your experience by looking to the Element of your natal/birth Saturn. Each element presents through a trilogy of astrological signs and represents a different energy approach for you to utilize towards structure and responsibilities.
Air signs {Gemini, Libra, Aquarius} are at home, fluid in intellect, conversation and relationships.
Fire signs {Aries, Leo, Sagittarius} will be fueled with passion/purpose.
Water signs {Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces} have the potential to be more of a thinker.
Earth signs {Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn} will be lifted up so movement happens more frequently.
Notice if you have any planets or points in Aquarius as the themes of these planets/points can be intertwined for you.
Since Pluto retrograde is in Capricorn, it impacts the way the physical shows in our reality by lessening rigidness.
When this surrender to the flow divine feminine energy combines with the divine masculine Air as noted above, movement happens more frequently for structures, processes and practices.

Saturn begins at Aquarius 25 degrees 15 minutes and ends at Aquarius 18 degrees 35 minutes which is designated as follows:
In energy design, it starts at Gate 30, line 1 and ends at Gate 13 line 6, continuing themes we’ve begun in late February but now looking at them with a new perspective.
The theme begins with an investigative look at Feelings and Desires then a full review of what is to be Reborn, then completes in Fellowship with a detached, observer view to lead by example.
The themes present as follows, rewinding through the lines for you to experience one at a time:
Starting with access inner composure in the face of your feelings and the insights that flow forward, finding balance supports the ability to relate to feelings versus being overwhelmed by them {gate 30, line 1}.
Then, it transitions to the theme of rebirth {gate 49} to work with emotions to shed outdated perspectives and adjust to advance forward cautiously with new principles that have relevance for the future. Here’s how it works through each line:
Line 6: embrace and adjust to new circumstances by focusing on what is possible in the moment.
Line 5: sense the need for change, creating a supportive presence with clear and guiding lines found through inner emotion.
Line 4: access support for change and transformation, aligning with inner truth through use of emotional review.

Completing with the theme of Fellowship {Gate 13} to reflect on all sides of an experience to see commonalities. Through Line 6: an approach of seeing the “best” in everything and everyone, recognizing even limited interaction moves forward a deeper unity.

Then Aquarius 22, a rug placed on a floor for children to play, making a game of life and utilizing whatever is at hand to nurture/support it.
