Saturn enters Pisces!

 

It is always significant when Saturn changes signs. Saturn in Pisces is ruled by planets Jupiter and Neptune and the last time Saturn transited this sign was March 22, 1993-April 8, 1996. For the next 2 and a half years Saturn will transit the part of your chart that Pisces rules. As Pisces rules the 12^th house of the zodiac this transit of Saturn will bring about many endings, but this does not mean it is bad or negative as some things need to end in preparation of new beginnings that will occur when Saturn enters Aries in 2025-6.

Pisces is constantly shifting and morphing into something else, and often makes us believe things that aren’t real. What’s real may appear unreal and what’s unreal is something some people may believe.  Pisces has a hard time with boundaries and often either doesn’t know where the boundaries really are or goes beyond normal boundaries. This will become even more pronounced when Saturn and Neptune meet up in both the sign of Pisces and Aries as well in 2025.

All of this means the societal confusion we are all experiencing in certain ways may become more pronounced during this time. Saturn squared Neptune in 2015-16.  This period saw the rise of ‘fake news stories,’ Russian interference in the Presidential election in terms of false ads on Face book and other social media outlets along with trolling.

Saturn will conjunct Neptune in Aries May-June of 2025, and then in Pisces the latter part of 2025. These transits will bring about significant confusion and shifts in the collective that can dissolve boundaries, which Neptune is known for.

That said, Saturn in Pisces also has the possibility to wake us up to what is real and what is not. This is evidenced at this time by the amount of information that has come to light in the lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting machines. If you follow the story it has been revealed that news anchors did not believe the ‘big lie’ perpetrated that the election had been stolen from ex-President Donald Trump. Rupert Murdoch, media mogul and owner of Fox News testified on February 27^th, that ‘he had the power to stop the lie and chose not to.’  In the end, I do believe Fox will be held accountable for their blatant lies, and we will see more of lawsuits like this when the facts do not jive with reality over the next few years.

Saturn represents rules, authority and structures while in any given sign as it moves through the zodiac. Since Pisces rules creativity, spirituality and creativity, Saturn in this placement may help us bring our dreams into some type of tangible fruition. Spirituality, religion and philosophy will be a major focus over these years for better or worse.

Cults may come into focus as they did the last time Saturn was in Pisces. Cults for some can become a type of religion or religious experience depending on the person and their belief system.

Saturn should benefit anyone with Water or Earth planets as it will trine Water planets and sextile Earth planets (except Virgo) both of which are positive and can contribute to long term growth.

Those who will have the most difficult time with Saturn in Pisces will have Mutable planets; Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Saturn will transit the 1^st house of everyone born under Pisces. This can be a difficult period and in some ways as Saturn transits through your Sun sign, it represents major life changes that can sometimes be accompanied with a feeling of starting over in some manner. Saturn conjunct your Sun can also represent a time when your accomplishments reach a peak and have to do with building things that last. I started my astrology business with Saturn conjunct my Sun, and that was now over 20 years ago!

Here are some of the things that occurred when Saturn was last in Pisces January of 1994-April of 1996.

 Lastly, Pisces and Neptune rule spirituality. Over the next two and a half years we will hear a great deal about spirituality and religion.  If you are inclined in this direction it will be a perfect transit for the study of philosophy, religion, spirituality or any type of metaphysics. Since this sign also rules creativity, it could give you the discipline to make your creative projects happen. Good luck!
