Saturn, the planet of structure and responsibility, is retrograde, showing us that all of our struggles have one thing in common: our inability to stick to a routine.
In other words, we need discipline! It's time to get it together and commit to a plan. When we are unfocused and lazy, of course, we struggle. So, clearly something needs to change. On Friday, Saturn helps us get back on track.

Well, you've reached a time in your life when the excuses have run out, Cancer. You can no longer blame anyone else for whatever misfortune you've endured. In fact, you're tired of looking to someone else to blame.
This nervy transit, Saturn retrograde, shows you that the universe cannot wait for you to change. It's excited to see you take responsibility and end your own hard times with positive, self-loving action.
And yes, self-love is a major player here. You struggle because you underrate yourself and therefore, you don't show up for yourself. It's time to become your own hero. That may sound intimidating, but it's absolutely doable. You've got this!
2. Virgo

The hard times are ending for you, Virgo, because you're laying down your sword, so to speak. You spend so much time feeling defensive and ready to battle anyone into the ground that you're worn out. This is the perfect condition for Saturn retrograde to do its job.
In other words, it's time to lay off the defensiveness. It's not doing you any good, and if you let it go, you might actually catch some peace. That's not something you're used to. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
You've gotten used to struggling. That's not to say you love it. You definitely don't. But it's worn you out to the point that you accepted that it was just a part of life. It doesn't have to be, though. Give yourself a break on Friday. Take a load off. Practice lovingkindness and detachment.
3. Sagittarius

What's kept you in a constant state of struggle is your need to dance around communication. You want to make sure everybody is OK and that nobody gets accidentally hurt by something you say. While that's noble, it often keeps you from saying anything real or honest.
Saturn retrograde pulls no punches and gets right to the point. It doesn't tolerate this wishy-washy attitude. If you don't want to do something, then you need to say no. You don't have to make excuses, nor do you have to explain yourself. You should not feel guilty, either.
Your hard times have lasted this long because you say yes to things you don't want to do. Saturn retrograde is helping you put an end to this habit once and for all. Remember, no is a complete sentence, and it's one you should not be afraid to use.
