Saturn About Face in Scorpio

  Right now Saturn is swimming in the richest area of a giant lake of molasses.

This is a list of Saturn’s location by degree and minute as it comes to a virtual standstill July 17-25.  Scroll down to Monday, July 21 and you can see where it turns around and returns to forward motion.  The ℞ in the figure for July 1 indicates that Saturn is in the midst of its retrograde period;  and the ♏shows that it is in Scorpio.

If we could get more accurate figures we would probably ‘see’ it moving a few seconds per day.

This means the slow planet of time is going even slower in the Taurus duad (15°♏00' to 17°♏30') of Scorpio where life’s mysteries are seen from the meditative perspective of Ferdinand the Bull.  Saturn will gradually pick up speed and enter the Gemini duad of Scorpio (17°♏30'-20°♏00') Aug 22.
