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.

is a link to some stuff about Saturn in Scorpio.
I
copied the figures from the free ephemeris on Astrodienst.
