Saturn Retrograde 2026 is here – and these three Zodiac signs will be impacted the most

While many of us may have heard of the dreaded Mercury Retrograde, it's clear that Saturn Retrograde is far less well-known.

Saturn will be retrograde from Sunday (26 July) to right before Christmas (10 December), beginning the journey in the sign of Aries, which puts the focus on accountability.

If that all sounds like another language to you, not to worry, as astrology expert Inbaal Honigman has exclusively revealed to Tyla all we need to know on the matter.

What is

"A mere three days after the end of the most recent Mercury retrograde, we are due to experience a Saturn retrograde," she explained, speaking on behalf of personal finance platform Vettory.

The expert noted that Saturn is the planet of karma, adding: "This planet rules structure and discipline, and is in charge of responsibility and boundaries.

"Nicknamed the 'Great Teacher', Saturn challenges us to form solid foundations through hard work, patience, and courage."

"This planet has gone into Aries at the start of the year," she continued. "Since 13 February, Saturn has resided in the fiery sign, which is a bit of a strange combination.

"Aries is a leader, courageous and impulsive. As Saturn is all about slow, deliberate changes, while Aries just charges ahead, this creates a chaotic pairing that can be scary at times."

The retrograde can therefore bring good news for a change!

"Saturn's story is slow and deliberate, and Aries is impulsive, so when the retrograde appears and causes delays, the result could be beneficial and more in keeping with Saturn's stated goals," Inbaal added.

But which star signs will feel it most?

Aries

"The sign where it all happens, fiery Aries can take this retrograde on the chin," Inbaal warns. 'Saturn has brought discipline into Aries' life this year, which Aries may not love, but they know they need it.

"When Saturn turns retrograde, it shows Aries that pre-planning doesn't solve every problem, and spontaneous Aries feels vindicated! They knew it all along."

Capricorn and Aquarius

Inbaal adds: "Saturn is the traditional ruler of both these signs, and Capricorn is just like Aquarius in that they dislike surprises.

"Capricorn and Aquarius are both deliberate signs that are mature beyond their years, and the introduction of youthful Aries to their planet can feel a bit jarring to them.

"This retrograde brings life back to a manageable pace, which allows them to catch up with their plans and ideas."

During the Saturn retrograde in Aries, DO:

The expert recommends looking into long-term investments, because the retrograde will trip up the short-term ones.

"Go house hunting. Slow processing times will be cut in half thanks to the retrograde," she urges. "Ask for a pay rise. Your superiors will be able to see your value in solving retrograde crises."

During the Saturn retrograde in Aries, DON'T:

Meanwhile, the expert advised not signing up for a course of studies, adding: "This is not a time for learning, while 'the Great Teacher' is experiencing retrograde difficulties."

Instead, Inbaal suggests starting a new business.

"Retrogrades of any description are not good times for putting all your eggs in one basket," she resolved. "Try to jump onto a fast-rising stock, as it will deteriorate even faster."
