People tend to imagine karma as something dramatic. A moment where everything balances all at once and the person who hurt you suddenly understands exactly what they did. Real life is much less black and white than that.
The truth is that every decision a person makes slowly becomes the architecture of their life. The way they handle conflict determines the relationships they're able to keep. The way they treat people shapes the kind of trust they're able to build. The habits they refuse to question become the patterns they unknowingly repeat. Consequences are rarely singular events, they're accumulations.
That's part of what Saturn retrograde has always represented. It isn't a cosmic punishment. It's a return. Whatever has been postponed, ignored, rationalized, or left unresolved has a way of resurfacing. Not to satisfy someone else's sense of justice, but because unfinished lessons have a remarkable ability to continue asking for our attention until they're finally understood.
Maybe the most comforting part isn't believing that someone will one day feel exactly what you felt. It's knowing that every person eventually has to live inside the life their choices create.
