During this retrograde, look to where you have been creating temporary barriers between the things you desire most and the self-actualisation of those things in your life... Any obstacles to actually having those things 'to love and to hold', as it were, stems primarily from the judgmental attitude that is somehow infused into your affairs through Saturn's very rigid, disenfranchising elements of social intersectionality. Categorising things you love must have its limits. Nobody can stand up to the constant criticism and expectations necessary to keep up with the changing ideals of how proper love should be. You certainly don't like being scrutinised. If you feel that your creative flow is blocked, or that you're pouring all your creative energy out but feel you're getting nothing back, then it's probably likely that your own sense of inadequacy is creeping in, stopping you from reaping the lovely fruits of your creative endeavours. Lighten up. No such thing as 'bad' or 'good' - just 'love & acceptance' and 'lack thereof'.
