Saturn Isn’t Your Bailiff

Saturn retrograde didn’t karma your ex. You just wanted someone else to do the confronting for you.
Every retrograde season, the same posts flood my feed. “Saturn is in retrograde, which means the people who wronged you are finally facing consequences. Karma is coming for your ex. The universe keeps a ledger and it’s collections season.” I need to say something that may be pretty unpopular here, because, oof. This is not spirituality. It is nothing more than a revenge fantasy wearing a birth chart.
Before anyone grabs their pitch forks, listen. I get numerology and astrology getting lumped together constantly, and that’s its own conversation about people not knowing the difference between a life path number and a planetary transit, but that mix-up is a factual error. This Saturn-as-karma-cop thing is something else, it’s a coping mechanism disguised as cosmology.
