Uranus and Saturn retrograde

Anyway, a retrograde archetype, whatever planet you apply it to, is simply the need to withdraw, to retreat, to rebel from the status quo expectation of how that planetary behavior is meant to manifest from a societal point of view. This necessary rejection of the status quo via the retrograde principle accelerates the natural evolutionary pace. Why? Because when you are withdrawing from the status quo you are arriving at your own unique and individual expression, essential individuality, of whatever planet of function is retrograde. The retrograde principle is non-static. It is very similar to peeling the layers off an onion to arrive at the core. That is why it is non-static; rarely does the retrograde aspect of a persona nature kick back and go "aha, that's it, no more, I'm relaxed and satisfied with this." In other words, the layers of conditioning are very deep and it takes along time to arrive at an utterly deconditioned state.

So, if we have Saturn retrograde, and we are talking about social conditioning patterns, could we now deduce that the Saturn retrograde person is going to be intrinsically oriented to rejecting, rebelling, withdrawing from, and questioning such social imprinting. In so doing, the individual would come to define her or his own natural authority ( Saturn), customs, regulations, norms, taboos, and way of integrating into the culture that he or she is born into. When Saturn is retrograde the door is open and pointing to Uranus. Thus, in general, the very nature of individuals consciousness is intrinsically different. In general, there is more of a sense distance or detachment from the immediacy of one's family and culture, a sense that there is more to reality (Saturn) than is being focused upon by the family or culture. This sense is produced by Uranus impacting upon by the family or culture. This sense is produced by Uranus impacting upon the Saturn retrograde. It is this Uranian sense that magnifies or intensifies the essential role of Uranus in Saturn retrograde individuals; to liberate and be free from the conditioning patterns of society, family, or any other conditioning pattern that is perceived to be limiting the ongoing individualization of identity.

Commonly, the Saturn retrograde is going to have a problem with one or both parents. It does not mean that they are going to be enemies, but it does commonly imply that one or both of the parents, most commonly the father, is going to reflect the values, beliefs, lifestyle, standard of conduct, what is right and wrong, opinions, and so on that the offspring simply cannot accept. In certain family situations this can be a problem and can create an emotional distance from the offspring to such a parent. And, from an evolutionary point of view, necessarily so. The point is that, at one level, Saturn correlates to a need to integrate our own sense of individual identity, authority, and purpose within the context of social purpose and cultural authority. We all have a specific social function to play out in the large social scheme of things on behalf of our culture. We all do. How we go about this is described by the totality of our birth charts and specifically Saturn. Saturn correlates to what we call the social maturation process, the process and transference from childhood to adulthood.
