In astrology, there's almost always one planet in retrograde and not all of them are as difficult as you may think. Even though Mercury retrograde tends to get a lot of bad press, some retrogrades can be a positive experience. Take Saturn retrograde, for example. When this transit takes place, you're encouraged to look inward, reflect on where you are in life, and consider some changes that must be made. So, what happens when Saturn retrograde 2019 ends? 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:

This is your moment to face the ways you've been holding yourself back from achieving the success you desire. Whether you're afraid of responsibility or scared to step out of your comfort zone, you must pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do what needs to be done.

Taurus

If you're experiencing a loss of faith in something that once meant everything to you, it's probably because you're meant to believe in something better. Don't be afraid to shift your ideals. You're discovering how to live your life in a truly meaningful way.

Gemini

It's time for you to accept what you can control and what you can't. Power is all about perspective and the truest form of power is having freedom from attachment. If you can let go of relationships and situations from your past, you'll make way for something better.

Cancer

You're understanding which relationships are designed to last and which aren't built on stable ground. It may be more difficult to meet someone new or make it work with someone currently in your life. This is because a relationship that's superficial or harmful just won't cut it.
