When Saturn stations direct on Sept. 18, it will implement boundaries, reinforce reality, and show you how much work there is left to do.

Things tend to feel a bit "up in the air" when Saturn is retrograde. This is because you're getting a break from all the usual effects of Saturn's heavy hand. Saturn loves establishing limitations, defining the rules, and committing for the long term. Saturn puts pressure on you to make a decision and start laying down the groundwork for its execution. However, when Saturn turns retrograde, it shifts its influence from the external to the internal, and instead of taking action, you might feel more introspective. This is all meant to help you take stock of where you're going, what you want to accomplish, and what you must let go of in order to make that happen.

Here's what the zodiac signs can expect when Saturn goes direct:
