I agree with everyone else it really depends on your chart. If saturn is direct natally and the transit is retrograde then the transit could be more difficult same if saturn was retrograde natally and the transit was direct. it would be kind of of like your in conflict because you aren't used to saturn stuctured that way. Though in terms of lessons I'm not sure there are any major differences. For example saturn direct in the tenth and saturn retrograde in the tenth. I would say same issues or lesson but maybe a different perspective is to be learned. In direct you may try to build your self so you feel equal to others or feel number one. Retrograde you may just want to be good enough for yourself and focus on self-satisfaction.
