So long, Saturn in Aquarius, it’s been swell; see you in another 3 decades.

And now, this celestial body will transit the final sign of the Zodiac, Pisces.

It’s been almost a month since we left the cerebral; let's upgrade our current foundation's approach to Aquarius.

But now we’ve shifted to a more mystical method regarding stability.

Energetically, this combination will feel vastly different from what we experienced with this planet in the sign of the water bearer. For one, Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius, so the functionality of their mixture felt more natural.

Saturn is a planet that pronounces the need for system and order. Through this celestial body, we learn the importance of contraction, logic, having a solid game plan, being responsible, and making things concrete. In this energy, we’re more inclined to seek goal-oriented things, aren't scared of hard work to unlock achievements, and work to become masterful.

We seek ways to bring constructiveness to our lives to build something solid that sustains us for the long haul. Through this planet, we understand why it's essential to set limits on things that waste our time and why it’s necessary to be mature and responsible.

And we’re less concerned with emotions because vulnerability gets in the way of our pursuits.

But now, this planet has left its comfort zone for a sign that is less about logic and more driven by right brain functions. Saturn will spend 2 ½ years in the sign of the tethered fish, allowing us the opportunity to turn our whims into something concrete.

Pisces is governed by Jupiter, the ancient ruler for this placement, along with its modern ruler Neptune and happens to be a water sign. This sign's watery nature is associated with abstract things, spirituality, imagination, our dream world, art, music, film, and compassion.

Under this influence, we are open to the bigger picture and are more inclined to be less about system and order. Pisces is about dissolving tangible things. We become nebulous and undefinable. With the natural inclination of this sign, we seek to live a life with no boundaries and where everything just flows.

In this energy, we focus on the collective unconscious and the importance of merging with others. For this reason, Pisces is associated with the things we can’t see, which is why it's driven by faith and belief. Through this sign, we surrender to the things we have no control over and go with the flow.

We practice unconditional love, connect with our more empathetic side, and feel more willing to make sacrifices for the greater good of others. During this transit, we may find ourselves drawn to helping or working on projects that benefit society.

So, with all that said, Saturn combined with Pisces could bring about some interesting times because both energies are incredibly different.

However, this could be a period of sweet spots as well.

The key will be to try to learn how to pivot when necessary and ground ourselves when we’re feeling pulled in many directions.

Occurrences From The Past Century During Saturn In Pisces Times

With the planets on the other side of the asteroid belt being slower-moving celestial bodies, they stay in Zodiac placements significantly longer.

As a result, we can see the influence of the planet-sign pairing affecting society for a lengthier duration with lasting results than we would experience with fast-moving planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Therefore, outer celestial bodies create more enunciated themes, giving way to significant shifts and long-term changes.

Because of its position in the solar system, Saturn has a slow orbit of 29 ½ years, so it’s taken almost 3 decades for this planet to finally get to this zone of the Zodiac.

Some of the pronounced influences we see during Saturn in Pisces are themes of the collective unconscious.

On the cool side of this pairing, there tends to be more help for marginalized individuals; the abstract becomes in vogue, mind-altering, and dream-like entertainment gets created; there’s an urge for ethereal scenes, whimsical things, and the undefinable.

But the harsher end of this enunciates victimizing, placing belief in the wrong things; there can be an uptick in illness, problems with institutions, massive downfalls, economic fluctuations, escapism, and the oppressed becoming the oppressor.

The last time this celestial body was in Pisces was between January 28th, 1994, to April 7th, 1996, so this transit has not occurred since the 20th century. Before that, it did a brief stint from May 20th to June 29th, 1993.

Even though we’re in a different era, with the outer planets not in their location during the mentioned eras, we will still see some of those themes emerge.

This will activate the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction and the areas Jupiter in Pisces traversed.

Jupiter and Neptune made a conjunction on April 12th, 2022, at the last degrees of Pisces; once Saturn reaches the 25th degree, it will cross this area. As a result, some of the themes from that time period will become more concrete.

Over the next 2 1/2 years, Saturn will come through the area Neptune has traveled since February 3rd, 2012, and add the finishing touches to this cycle. In other words, it will lay a more concrete foundation in Pisces themes. The things that seem to blow up since Neptune was in its home Sign will get some grounding to them.

• Be aware of fluctuations regarding monetary things.
• Fear of the unknown.
• Our motivation could fluctuate due to feeling lethargic.
• Vacillating between overly pessimistic and extremely optimistic.
• Due to the worrying nature of this ingress, hypochondria tends to feel more pronounced.
• Beware of going to a place so hopeless it plunges you into the depths of victimhood.
• We could experience intense mood swings leading to shutting down one moment and or being overly raw and emotional the next.
• Our ability to set healthy boundaries may go through extremes.
• Struggling to integrate your spiritual side with your reality-based way of life.
• Be aware of isolating because this tends to enunciate the urge for solitude.
• Dealing with illusions and delusions that are out of control.
• Battling with realistic and unrealistic expectations
• Clinging to situations that aren’t serving you.

Pisces is a very imaginative sign, and Saturn will give us the structure and discipline to channel that inspiration into something productive.

Over the next 2 1/2 years, we will feel the urge to build something masterful and dissolve irrelevant scenarios in this energy's themes. So, it will be a period to keep the Piscean things that work and let go of the sabotaging parts of this Zodiac placement.

Let’s use this time to become more solid about the mystical things in our lives.
