- Saturn Retrograde
The initial contact is the conception : an awareness (or not) that something is being seeded or held back and needs to emerge, which often coincides with an event or an acute sensation or awareness. The following nine months is the gestation. The final transit over the natal degree procuces the birth of the seed that was planted when the transit was exact nine months earlier.
The effects of each contact are progressive. When Saturn first contacts a planet, the reaction is primitive and undeveloped, yet has a feeling of urgency to do it. The period that follows allows time for the seed to develop and mature, so that when the planet is again, finally, transited by Saturn, the act can be accomplished and the waiting period is over. Saturn requires a degree of maturity and, of course, timing, to come to its conclusion.

- Outer planets Retrograde
When one of these transiting planets makes an exact aspect to a natal one, we usually register the need to make changes in relation to the facet of life associated with that natal planet. However, when the transiting planet stops going direct and moves backward, our efforts to make alterations or adjustments may be hindered or blocked – our desire or need to change also may recede for the time being as well. When it turns around again and begins to move forward to the exact aspect, the blockage will pass, and the changes can occur more readily. When a transiting outer planet changes direction, it makes what is called a station, and for a while it hardly appears to be moving at all. If that station is within one degree of an exact aspect to a planet in the natal chart, we will feel the effects of the transiting planet very strongly.
