Why Saturn retrograde matters right now?
Saturn enters a sign roughly every 30 years. As it goes retrograde on June 5, it will be making its last foray into Capricorn which won't be seen for the next 30 years.

If you open your eyes, you will see that Saturn is being specially intense right now and wants you to look back into life- into the good, the bad and specially the ugly and learn your lessons. As it is a planet that causes delays, it is asking you to take a look back and see what has been causing delays in your life. You will be surprised to see that there are many things you can work on.
Personally, a small health issue that went big for no reason whatsoever taught me the value of free time and also brought me back to the world of reading. I also got a voice in my head telling me that I am not paying enough attention to my spiritual journey. So now I have decided that I will be focusing a lot more on my spiritual progress and get rid of all the hindrances that I created myself. The first person blocking your path is you.
So focus less on the pop astrology that sensationalizes things and makes you feel the extremity of emotions. Focus more on the real message that Shani is giving and you will be fine. Trust me!
