Saturn Retrograde 2029: Dates, Signs and Stations
One window opening in 2029 · 135 days between stations · Taurus and Aries
Saturn turns retrograde once in 2029, on 6 September 2029, and turns direct again on 19 January 2030. Counting only the calendar days of 2029, Saturn is retrograde on 122 of them, including the tail of the window that opened on 23 August 2028 and runs into 2029 until 5 January 2029.
6 September to 19 January 2030, in Taurus and Aries
Saturn stations retrograde on 6 September 2029 at 0°49′ Taurus, in Krittika, and stations direct on 19 January 2030 at 23°53′ Aries, in Bharani. Between the two stations it travels back 6.9° of the zodiac over 135 days.
0°49′ Taurus, the 6 September station, is in Krittika pada 2, the Capricorn navamsa. 23°53′ Aries, the 19 January station, is in Bharani pada 4, the Scorpio navamsa. The arc between them spans 3 padas, from Bharani pada 4 up to Krittika pada 2, and Saturn crosses every degree of it three times: forward before 6 September, backward until 19 January, and forward again afterwards. Saturn is in a friend's sign in Taurus and debilitated in Aries.
That arc crosses a sign boundary, so the 6 September retrograde of 2029 begins in Taurus and ends in Aries. The day of that backward re-entry is outside the 2026–2028 ingress table, so this page does not give one.
The site’s ingress, nakshatra and conjunction tables run from 2026 to 2028, so for the 2029 window they have nothing to add, and this page adds nothing in their place.
It begins 379 days after the previous Saturn retrograde began on 23 August 2028, and 244 days after that one ended.
How 2029 Compares With Saturn’s Other Windows
Across the 8 Saturn retrogrades the site computes from 2024 to 2031, a window lasts 134 to 139 days between stations and retraces 6.8° to 7.0°. The 2029 window, at 135 days and 6.9°, is inside that range by length.
Every date here is a day, never a time. A planet at a station is barely moving, so the minute it turns is the least stable figure in the table; for Saturn in 2029 the day is what two careful sources will agree on.
