What actually is Saturn Retrograde, and why do so many people fear it?
In this episode of Pretty Spiritual, Shay and Amy break down what a retrograde really is, why Saturn is known as the master teacher in astrology, and how this period can become one of reflection rather than restriction.
They explore why Saturn Retrograde is often linked to slowing down, boundaries, discipline, long-term goals and reviewing the foundations you’ve built your life upon. They also discuss why Mercury Retrograde gets so much attention, how birth charts influence the experience, and why this season isn’t about punishment but personal growth.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, questioning your direction, or noticing old lessons resurfacing, this conversation offers a grounded perspective on using Saturn Retrograde as an opportunity to pause, reflect and move forward with greater intention.
Whether you’re completely new to astrology or already exploring your spiritual journey, this episode will help you better understand Saturn Retrograde and how to work with its energy instead of fearing it.
