Saturn Retro 2026: 01: Gravitas

Here's my first post for Saturn Retrograde 2026. We're in the 14 days Gravitas phase, which begins two weeks BEFORE the actual / official date of Saturn Retrograde. All that data is there in the blog PAGE: Saturn Retrograde Introduction at the tail end of this post..

Anyways, to cut a long story short, last Saturn Retrograde season, 2025, my posts were VERY visual, dramatic, electric, bold. Which is very good. BECAUSE I was blogging on Saturn Retro after a gap of Seven years!!

But also, not great from the Saturnine point of view. Because I'm a Saturnine person, posting in this blog literally named Saturnine. So MY Saturn Retrograde posts HAVE to be heavy, gloomy, swampy, layered, obscure, fragmented. 

Last year's Saturn Retro 2025 posts were visual, dramatic, bold, and I shared the links to my Facebook and Instagram stories, yes STORIES!! Also, I used a lot of AI images to attract views on my posts. Comic book, mythos, type vivid generated inagery!!

But NONE who SAW, didn't even comprehend to click the link to my blog post! Forget about  participating in the complexity, the layered technical mystical phenomenon of Saturn Retrograde.

So, this year, the only place I'm sharing my posts is on Instagram Threads. Because there, some intelligent people actually connected to me, starting a productive Saturnine alliance.  

And they connected to ONLY the Saturnine, swampy, heavy, layered posts!! Proof: Eshan Sen , Author , Vedic Astrologer, actually shared my post on Butchers Crossing, a Saturnine Nicolas Cage movie, and since then,  we've come a long way on a Saturnine astrological journey which has lasted uptil now!

Lord Shanidev chooses, where to share. I just have to do MY Saturnine Tradition/ Job!!

Hence I start this post with this video 👇🏼 👇🏼 👇🏼 👇🏼 below...

The first part of the video above ☝🏼☝🏼shows the lonely, eerie, yellow smiley ball I found next to our entrance gate. I travelled far from Sajanpara , Rani, Mushroom Livelihood Ashram of our brother Pranjal Baruah, next to airport, to home at Zoo Tiniali to watch Fifa World Cup Finals 2026, with me parents. The whole town, especially Latasil field was agog and alive with preparations for the final match. And I too came home all gung ho. But as soon as I entered our gate, this lonely, eerie , creepy smiley ball waiting. With its beautiful jaded Saturnine smile..

The second half of the video shows the Mushroom Farm, at Rani, where I came from, was all flooded by morning, due to nights heavy rains. A gloomy, despondent, swampy mood. CONTRAST to the GLOBALLY electric mood of World Cup Finals Football match between Argentina vs Spain!!

I could have put up dramatic pictures, videos to highlight the final match. But herein, I choose to put up this video, in the pure Saturnine tradition of Annual Saturn Retrograde 2026. If THIS is the only post I put up, then, let this be the..

... perfect Saturnine post
