Transits that retrograde before exact aspect

Hello everyone,

If a planet turns retrograde prior to an exact aspect does that planet feel the effects of the transit or will it not impact it until it goes direct and make an exact aspect? For example, natal venus is at 9 degrees 32 minutes cancer but Saturn stationed retrograde around 9 degree 8 minutes capricorn. Saturn will not make an exact opposition until Dec. 2018 so does this mean changes in relationships won't happen until then? Thanks for your help
