What’s Saturn’s deal? Saturn represents rules, responsibilities, restrictions as well as hard work, and the passage of time are a few of Saturn’s favorite things. Check out this post on how to better understand Saturn.
Saturn may be a hard ass as in, he (masculine energy) loves teaching us lessons we’ll never forget, but he also reminds us that through resilience and bravery, we’re capable of moving mountains. In fact, Saturn is the planet most closely associated with manifestation; it reminds us that reaching our goals takes tenacity and perseverance, and maybe even a little bit of patience.
Since March 2020, Saturn’s been moving through revolutionary, innovative, and futuristic Aquarius. As an air sign, Aquarius is associated with humanity, collective experiences, and society at large. Saturn’s influence has been remarkable and opened our eyes to a brighter and sometimes bleaker tomorrow.
Saturn moved into Pisces on March 7, 2023, where he will stay through May 24, 2025. We can expect the energy to be a more flowing, spiritual vibe. Saturn’s last cruise through Pisces was May 21, 1993, through April 7, 1996. While Saturn will maintain its status as the celestial taskmaster over the next few years it will undoubtedly be softened by Pisces’s sensitive, psychic influence.
Pisces is the last zodiac sign, ruled by the planet Neptune. Pisces is all about poetry, and acts in a way as if there are no boundaries. Pisces prefers rose-colored glasses over Saturn’s rules and reality. Saturn in Pisces will be a bit odd, to say the least.
Hopefully, with Saturn in Pisces we can close the loop on certain storylines; it will be very important to stay vigilant and look for smoke-and-mirrors. Keep in mind Saturn’s signature discernment is compromised in Pisces. Cults, dangerous conspiracy theories, and any alluring fame and fortune energies may intensify over the next couple of years.
We’ll all start to get serious about living our best life in the coming years. This placement is all about building the future of our dreams, relishing wins while learning from obstacles and failures.
Saturn is about structure and Pisces is quite the opposite, as the sign of dreams, illusions, and no clear boundaries.
For the past six years Saturn has been playing on its home turf of Capricorn (2017-2020) and then Aquarius (2020-2023). Saturn has been comfortable in these signs where it was able to flex its powers.
Saturn in Pisces is not all bad, Pisces can benefit from a little bit of structure! The amazing qualities of this water sign is empathetic, tuned into the collective consciousness, beautifully dreamy and deeply invested in the betterment of self and others. The shadow side of Pisces can be destructive, addictive and confused, seeking distraction when ever possible. This can include avoidance and escapism; the strict Saturn energy will force us to reckon with the shortcomings and coping mechanisms so that we might face the future proudly.
Saturn is leaving Aquarius and moving into transcendental salt water of Pisces for the first time since the early 90’s.
Saturn is known as a malefic and is associated with endings, limits, restrictions, and hard lessons. One could picture a “father figure” that wants to keep us in line, teach us the value of hard work and break us down so that we might be built back up – stronger, wiser and more capable. It may seem like Saturn is punishing us, but it actually pushes us forward.
Pisces can be unruly and untethered and through Saturn might not be able to discipline the way it wants, it can provide direction and help guide us toward our purpose.
We will all feel a BIG shift with Saturn moving into Pisces. Understanding how Saturn in Pisces will affect your zodiac sign can help you make the most of this challenging but rewarding transit. To book a personalized astrology reading, click here.
Pisces energy is deeply attached with the realms of emotions, dreams, and mysticism – and over the coming years, Saturn will prompt us to outgrow our escapisms and face our feelings so that we can move forward more effectively. This transit is stripping us of our disconnected coping mechanisms, encouraging us to instead find strength in our tender vulnerabilities.
