On 7March 2023, Saturn moved into Pisces after spending 2.5 years in the sign of Aquarius. Saturn is the planet of restrictions, responsibilities and discipline. Saturn is the teacher. Saturn tests us and our resilience. In many ways, Saturn gives us an opportunity to grow and mature in an area of its transit. For the past 2.5 years of being in the sign of Aquarius, we definitely saw how these two energies collided and gave way to some explosive global events. Aquarius stands for human rights, expression, freedom and community. All these were under a direct influence with Saturn in Aquarius. We experienced protests, movements, revolutions and ofcourse, the great pandemic which restricted our freedom in ways we never in a lifetime expected to be. At the same time, we really challenged the existing systems which no longer were aligning to the new age of humanity. Personally speaking, I experienced this as my first Saturn return and well let’s say last two and a half years have officially taught me what my freedom and my expression means to me (the world!). It has seen my transition into an adult who knows her worth, her truth and her strength, most importantly. Experiencing my Saturn return in my 6th house, this phase unplugged me from all the places I had attached my productivity to my worth, no wonder you saw me talking about rest, somatics, body and healing through this time.
With Saturn moving into Pisces, collectively we all be learning about boundaries, forgiveness, spirituality and letting go of our addictive habits and patterns to escape our pain. If this is your Saturn return in Pisces, get ready to face these themes heads on as you learn to meet your deepest pain and rise above it through the hands of spirit, not spirit (pun totally intended). As a saturn return, you will be feeling the deepest impact of this transit and this could be the space of complete transformation for you. So, as a fresh saturn return graduate, I advice you to hook yourself up with some grounding spiritual practices and practice radical honesty with your emotions and pain. Keep a support system on your side to help you guide through this phase and be kind and generous to yourself.
But saturn return or not, this transit will help us to learn a lot in a specific area of our lives.
