Saturn in Pisces
The Zodiac is a key & a map to help us understand where we come from, where we are going and where we are ~ therefore, who we are and why…
The great time-keeper Saturn, or Shani in Sanskrit, spends 2.5yrs in each sign and takes aprox 30yrs to return. Therefore, the karmas that become activated when Saturn moves into a new sign may transcend one lifetime. Saturn is often associated with hardship, struggle, loss and tough times, but He also brings great rewards, sustainable growth, transformative change, profound insight, resolve, determination, prosperity and opportunity.

Saturn in Sidereal Pisces
Saturn in Pisces March 30 ‘25 ~ June 3 ‘27
Saturn in Aries June 3 ‘27 ~ October 20 ‘27
Saturn in Pisces October 20 ‘27 ~ February 24 ‘28
Saturn in Pisces is a transformative time for inner awakening, challenging us to find balance and harmony between the pragmatic and spiritual aspects of our lives. It is a Divine opportunity to align our daily lives with our soul’s deepest desires, to discover a disciplined approach to our daily spiritual practices and lay the foundation for long-term growth.
Depending on where Pisces sits in one’s birth chart, this house will be strongly activated over the next 2.5 years. It becomes a time to let go of illusions and face ourselves where we are at through deep introspection and self-reflection. Though this can feel heavy or restrictive at times, it is ultimately liberating as Saturn’s great power is to show us where our ego may be leading us astray and reconnect us with inner knowing and truth.
As the slowest moving planet, Saturn is never in a rush and can cause delays, but this is only because Saturn encourages us to slow down and make mindful decisions. Saturn delays, but does not deny, which is important to remember if we are finding ourselves challenged in pursuits related to where Pisces sits in our birth chart. Saturn’s call is to align with our higher purpose. His Grace can feel destructive, after all the Cosmic Energy associated with Saturn is Shiva, but His message is one of compassion and higher wisdom.
Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac and as such has a lot to do with endings. In order to birth the new we must let go of the old, that which no longer serves us. As the most watery of all water signs, Pisces is deeply emotional and often desperately seeks to know the world beyond the physical veil. As a result, Pisces may often struggle to stay grounded. Pisces seeks escape and transcendence, which can be beautiful, but can also lead to running away from responsibilities ~ Saturn here will help to stabilize and discipline. This transit offers the opportunity to bring dreams into reality by balancing the Spiritual with the daily, practical aspects of our lives. Though Saturn may churn the waters a fair bit for some, remember that the storm only comes for us when we are out of alignment with our higher purpose and true self.
Saturn’s 30 year journey through the cosmos makes this a time to reflect upon where we were 30 years ago as this can offer further insight into which aspects of our lives may experience similar shifts now. People from 30 years can show up again; there may be opportunities for closure, resolution, insight and clarity around relationships from that time. Some of us may find that we are closing out a 30 year cycle at a particular career, or returning to one from back then. With awareness, all kinds of synchronicities can be discovered, but to really understand what this transit means for you in your life, a reading is highly recommended at this time.
For the Collective…
Saturn’s move through the zodiac is one of the most “heavy-hitting” transits we experience and it doesn’t happen overnight ~ it builds. Astrology is all about recognizing the patterns and seeing the flow of things ~ Saturn in Pisces is about going with the flow while at the same bringing structure and accountability to our lives. Saturn in Pisces is an opportune time to put our spiritual practices to daily use ~ this kind of discipline will be greatly rewarding and rewarded by the cosmos.
Saturn calls us inward into stillness, the quiet space inside our hearts where we can hear the whispers of our Soul. This transit will find more and more people awakening to their higher selves and spiritual gifts. The more we are able to go with the flow of loss, releasing all that no longer serves us, the more we will find ourselves transforming, expanding and evolving. The old systems on Earth are dying out. People do not trust the government, big institutions or the legacy media, and education has been revolutionizing itself for many years. Saturn in Capricorn from 2020-2023 and in Aquarius from 2023-2025 (in its own signs) awakened the power of the people around the world, but it was very polarizing. Saturn in Pisces brings more unity to the collective ~ a chance for us to see how WE have been manipulated into fighting each other instead of uniting with one another to demand positive change for the benefit of all. Rahu’s incumbent move into Aquarius supports the focus on humanity, civil rights and personal freedom, and I foresee a time coming where more and more we put people, creatures, plants and Earth before profit. As revolutionary as that may sound, it simply cannot be any other way if humanity wishes to continue here on Earth.
Vedic Wisdom teaches us that this isn’t our first “rodeo” here on Earth. We’ve created Golden Ages of incredible harmony and abundance, and dark ages where we “blew it all up” ~ our history is much more ancient that most people ever allow themselves to imagine. Life on Earth is billions of years old and humanoid life has existed in great 25,000yr cycles, known as Yugas, for tens and tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years. Of course this isn’t mainstream knowledge, but the ancients, mystics, seers, saints, sages and indigenous cultures around the world have always known it to be true.Those who know, know.
Now, Saturn in Pisces awakens the depths of our ancient memories, challenges the narrative, reveals secret knowledge and, I believe what we call history, will change forever. It has already begun with the discoveries using Lydar throughout the Amazon and Synthetic Aperture Radar technologies to scan under the Giza Khafre pyramid. The scans reveal massive, complex systems extending aprox two kilometres beneath the surface. Naturally their discoveries are being challenged, particularly in the mainstream where anything outside a very narrow narrative is called into question. Skepticism can be healthy, but suppression doesn’t benefit anyone and Saturn won’t have it here in Pisces. Is it 100% accurate? Time will tell… but, even though some scientists are divided, the evidence in support of these paradigm-shifting discoveries is only growing. If it charms you, learn more here.
This is just one “tiny” example of the kind of information and discoveries we are going to experience and see more of over the coming years ~ it doesn’t scratch the surface of the kinds of disclosure we will see… we are transcending paradigms and honestly, if we do it consciously and with awareness, it could be amazing. We have to open our minds and pay attention if we want to survive and evolve as a humanity because there is so much to learn about the true nature of reality that even quantum physicists are just figuring out how to explain it well (echoing ancient Vedic texts on the nature of reality). Ultimately, we are learning how to discern and collaborate with one another but it takes time and Saturn knows the power of time.
Saturn in Pisces enhances people’s interest in the deeper layers of consciousness. Repressed and suppressed emotions, as well as addictive patterns may rise to the surface in order to be faced and healed. Many ancient and innovative, new healing modalities will be discovered and brought into the mainstream. This is very exciting! Shadow work in Spiritual and Psychological communities will be big ~ people want to go deeper.
In many ways, Saturn represents death and old age, therefore, His presence asks us to consider how we are living. How is our health and our wealth? How are we spending our precious time? Spiritual bypassing will not be so easy during this transit as Saturn brings boundaries into a space that is most comfortable in the boundless ~ this may feel restrictive and even punitive at times, but the very obstacles and blockages we come up against during this transit are there to help us break through and expand beyond what we have known. In fact, if you find that in the course of “the flow” you are running up against certain obstacles, this is a wonderful opportunity to pause, expand perspective and move through. Intuition will guide you in stillness. Obstacles can become tremendous opportunities for growth and expansion when we face them with a brave heart and open mind.
It is a time to pay particular close attention to our dreams. Messages, signs and synchronicities abound for those who tune in and in them lies divine guidance on our path. It is a time when collective shadows are revealed and we will continue to see more headlines that shock and reveal astonishing truths. Saturn addresses karma and activates dharma and brings the reality check needed to bring our consciousness into divine alignment. Saturn’s efforts in the depths of Pisces will be supported over the next 18months by Rahu and Ketu who soon shift their positions into Aquarius and Leo (a full article to come on this). Therefore, watch for a further increase in protests and revolutionary actions as leaders around the world have their ego checked in a big way. It may sound scary but ultimately, we are liberating ourselves to live in greater harmony, joy, abundance and peace with ourselves, each other, the Earth and the cosmos once again. Blessed be…
Saturn in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra
Saturn in all 12 Sidereal Signs
From Pisces, Saturn aspects Taurus, Virgo and Sagittarius ~ the following 12 sign analyses serves to give a general overview of Saturn’s influence for each Ascendent / Moon Sidereal Sign over the next 2-3 years. For detailed analysis as to what this means for you specifically, please book a reading.
Aries
Saturn in your 12th house is a significant transit that may find you slowing down a little bit. This can be challenging for fiery Aries, but this is a tremendous opportunity to dive deep into your own unconscious and uncover new layers of self. You may find yourself dismantling layers of your identity so that when Saturn moves into Aries in 2027, you can move forward with a “clean slate” and deeper understanding of who you are and what truly fulfills you. You are likely to feel more withdrawn than normal and seek periods of isolation. This is an excellent time to go on pilgrimage, travel and step outside your comfort zone to help you shed those layers. With this transit you are closing a cycle, whether this is work-related, a relationship, or an involution of your own faith and beliefs, it is a period of loss, letting go and shedding layers. Meditation and spiritual practices can deepen significantly for you at this time as Saturn’s influence helps you to slow down and be more present. Listen to you intuition and trust in synchronicities. Your 2nd, 6th and 9th houses are aspected by Saturn bringing awareness to health, habits, healing and higher learning into focus. There may be extra expenses, but these can be investments in the rebirth process you are going through.
If your Moon is in Aries, this transit marks the start of your Sade Sati ~ the 7.5yr transit of Saturn over the natal Moon. This is the start of a deeply transformative time in life and a most excellent time to book a reading with an Astrologer you trust, because it is a period in life, when navigated with awareness, insight and guidance, that can lead to tremendous manifestations, growth and long-lasting, positive change.
Taurus
Saturn is transiting your 11th house of profits & gains, influence and social networks. The next couple of years promises to be an excellent time for Taurus rising and Moon, bringing rewards for all your hard work in the form of financial gains, growth and expansion. This is a wonderful time to meet new people and collaborate, but be mindful not to overextend yourself and set healthy boundaries. There may be new information coming to light for you around people you know that surprises you, and you may also decide to let some people go out of your life as a result. Saturn aspects your 1st, 5th and 8th houses ~ this is a transformative time for you with significant gains and realizations. You may feel more disciplined and inspired than in recent years and that is a good thing because the work you put into your dreams at this time will lay the foundation for what is to come ~ especially for Taurus Moon. All in all a very positive time for Taurus rising where you can earn more money and be more social ~ just make sure you find time to rest and reflect along the way.
Gemini
Saturn transits your 10th house of career, karma and purpose and aspects your 12th, 4th and 7th houses. Many of you will go through complete career changes in the form of promotion, or something completely new. It may be a rocky start as long as Rahu is still in Pisces, but from June onwards should bring greater stability, new opportunities and building success. Saturn’s aspects will bring stability to your partnerships, the home and spiritual practices, but there could be some challenges with those aspects if they are not in alignment with your highest purpose. There could be something with the parents as well that comes up and needs your support. The main focus will be on your work and you could find yourself working from home more as well. This is a wonderful time to ask yourself, “what do I really want to be doing?”, as the opportunities will present themselves and if you are clear about what you want, you will know which ones to take. Take space for yourself and do your best to adopt a daily meditation practice to support and centre during these times. Remember that synchronicities are not coincidence ~ synchronicities are messages from the Universe and your Higher Self guiding you along your dharmic path ~ meditation helps us notice and understand these as they arise and you will be receiving many insights worth noting.
Cancer
Saturn is transiting your 9th house of dharma, higher knowledge, faith, beliefs and Guru. You may find yourself inspired to take on new avenues of study and higher learning, unleashing new passions and aligning with new teachers. Saturn aspects your 11th, 3rd and 6th houses possibly bringing up challenges with siblings and friends, but further activating passions, desires and dreams. You could learn a host of new skills over the next few years, inspiring you to expand your offerings. Your beliefs and values may be tested at times, but this is Saturn at His finest testing you and your own resolve. This may be a time where you release old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. There is a focus on health and paying off debts (financial and karmic) and opening the mind beyond previously held beliefs. A wonderful time to dig deep into your own unconscious and discover latent talents and gifts waiting to be expressed through you.
Leo
Saturn’s transit through your 8th house of transformation is a big one. If you really want to change what you do, now is the time to reinvent yourself! The 8th house represents all that is unseen, the occult, secrets, death and rebirth, past lives, the unconscious, hidden gifts and talents. Saturn aspects your 10th, 2nd and 5th houses bringing even more energy to your career and work endeavours, as well as your creativity. This transit through the 8th house is not to be taken lightly, for as challenging as it may feel at times during the years ahead, Saturn is inviting you to dig deep, be disciplined and courageous in exploring doing what you love. The invitation is to refine your ideas and passions with structure and discipline while allowing yourself to flow with the synchronicities as they arise. There may be challenges and surprises with family and it’s possible that hidden issues come to the surface, so if you know what I’m talking about, best to be proactive and clear the air if you can. Relationships with children, if you have them, could be tested and going through big change of their own ~ remember that Saturn brings maturity to our growth and children need space to grow so sometimes that is all that is needed to release the tension. Money and investments could go through some ups and downs during this time, so it’s wise to stay on top of it and curb spending while you’re going through this metamorphosis. Now is the time to really pay attention to your dreams ~ start a dream journal and support your sleep with good habits. As Carl Jung said, “if you remember your dream it’s not a dream ~ it’s a message”, and the best way to remember your dreams is to write them down first thing upon awakening. You might just be amazed by what your unconscious reveals and your higher Self has to share with you…guiding you along the path of transformation and rebirth!
Virgo
Saturn transits your 7th house of partnerships, spouse, business and otherwise ~ those significant relationships we rely on day in and day out. Your partnerships may be tested in profound ways as Saturn brings a reality check and wake-up call to whichever area He graces with his presence. If your relationship is on a solid foundation and aligned with your values, dreams and highest aspirations, Saturn brings a stability and a deepening. However, if you find that one or more of your partnerships are on shaky ground, causing stress or suffering for you, Saturn tests these during this time ~ not because He is punishing you, but because he wants you to be happy, supported, loved and honoured for the amazing soul you are ~ therefore, you may find yourself restructuring your relationships, breaking up certain relationships, or deepening your commitment. Only you know what is right for you, but Saturn’s aspect on your 1st house of self will be inviting you to take an honest look into your own heart and give yourself what you need. Virgos are deeply caring for others, often putting themselves last ~ Saturn honours and rewards service to others, but will remind us to honour our vertical relationship with higher Self and Source first. Your habits, health and self will be shedding old ways and you may find yourself slowing down. Now is the time to take time for yourself. Saturn also aspects your 4th and 9th houses. There may be challenges / change in the home and with the Mother ~ both of which are deeply connected to our sense of inner happiness and safety. You may become inspired to seek higher wisdom and knowledge, discovering new teachers, spiritual practices, new beliefs and avenues of expression. It is a time to release control, pay attention to the signs and synchronicities, trust that you are guided and surf the waves of Shakti… spiritual surrender brings great rewards to a loving, open and free heart. Be kind to yourself with acts of self-care and allow yourself to dream from the heart rather than the mind.
Libra
Saturn transits your 6th house of work, legal matters, karmic debts, health and pets. Saturn is your Yoga Karaka, meaning it holds significant weight for matters of importance for you, so you feel His transit in profound and meaningful ways. Saturn brings you great strength is overcoming obstacles and helps you move through challenges, making this a positive time for personal growth and expansion. This may be a time of taking on new daily habits to do with health, healing and your spiritual beliefs may evolve. Saturn will aspect your 8th, 12th and 3rd houses inviting you to reevaluate your beliefs, spend more time on your own, meditate and focus on your health and healing journey. Psychological growth and personal realizations are promising. There may be some challenges with siblings and opportunities to view them in a new light. Your hobbies and passions may transform and evolve. This is the time to try new things. Your intuition will guide you, especially if you take time to meditate and tune in. Space and time to be on your own will be crucial to your journey at this time. Overall, this is a very positive transit with the potential for lots of joy.
Scorpio
Saturn transits your 5th house of dharma, creativity, children, investments and romance. You may feel inspired to new forms of higher learning, spiritual wisdoms, new creative endeavours, enlivened passions and enjoyment of pleasures and romance. New relationships hold the potential to be long lasting and ongoing relationships may receive the spark you have been missing. Saturn aspects your 7th, 11th and 2nd houses, further influencing significant relationships, partnerships and your social life. You will likely make new friends and even find that old friends return to your life. Some friendships and possibly relationships with older siblings may be tested, but only to serve you in your own personal evolution and help you grow by releasing those relationships that do not serve you. Saturn may test your investments, your relationship with your children if you have them, and push you to new creative limits. Overall a positive and enlivening time for you. Take time to step out of your comfort zone and you may be surprised by the results.
Sagittarius
Saturn transits your 4th house of the home, the Mother, inner happiness and emotional well-being. Your home may be changing ~ you might be moving, working from home or making changes to the home. The home may not be what you want right now, but the invitation is to use these circumstances to figure out what you really want. Saturn aspects your 10th, 1st and 6th houses. Work may be changing or you could be taking on more responsibility around the work you do. You could feel more tired than usual, but you are working through some big life questions that will help you find your groove again. It could be an emotionally challenging time and there is focus on health, so it will be important to take time for yourself and spend time doing what you love. Freedom is very important to you, therefore, Saturn’s energy can feel heavy and limiting, but He asks you to work with these feelings by finding ways that boundaries can serve you in your growth and goals. This is an ideal time for Sag to commit to a daily spiritual practice that centres and grounds you every day. Hard work will pay off for you and Saturn will give you the discipline you need to follow through. Saturn’s aspect on your first house could make you feel more tired and slow you down. This can make us feel “old”, but really it’s Saturn’s influence asking us to slow down and be mindful in movement. The energy will return, but this is an invitation to take care of yourself ~ adopt or deepen your daily meditation practice.
Capricorn
Saturn transits your 3rd house bringing steady gains and progress. This is a wonderful time to explore your passions, hobbies and even pick up things you left off another time. This transit could be a great time for writing ~ whether that’s journalling or writing a book, or both, the energy of expressing yourself is supported and could support you in your work, which you tend to really love. Saturn aspects your 5th, 9th and 12th houses. This is a fertile and creative time for you. Romance could blossom and deepen. You may travel abroad more, possibly taking a pilgrimage. Your beliefs and values may grow and evolve and you may align with new teachers and spiritual wisdoms. Don’t be surprised if your philosophies, ideas and beliefs are changing. Spiritual practices are highly recommended to help you centre, ground and align with what it is you truly wish to create. Challenges may still arise, but overall, a positive and exciting time for you.
Aquarius
Saturn transits your 2nd house of family, food, finances and resources. Saturn draws attention to your finances and invites you to find ways to save and set goals to become financially independent. You may find that what you like to eat changes and you are thinking more about how different food makes you feel. The way you talk may change ~ perhaps you find your voice and ways to be more assertive, setting necessary boundaries around family, in particular, but really paying attention to the power of words. Saturn aspects your 4th, 8th, 11th houses. There may be changes in the home and with the Mother. You may find yourself being more introspective and asking yourself what makes you truly happy. Many of you will find new spiritual and psychic gifts coming online that you didn’t even know you had ~ a wonderful time for daily meditation and spiritual practices to help you tap into and embody these gifts. You may discover new friends, expanded social networks and a sense of “soul tribe”. This brings great joy to your life and expansions, especially with changes and challenges at home. This transit is an opportune time for you to focus on yourself and allow yourself to dream big.
MOON in Aquarius ~ this transit marks the last phase of your Sade Sati (the 7.5 year transit of Saturn across your natal moon) ~ This is truly an evolutionary period in one’s life ~ it is truly worth of having a reading during this time to gain insight and clarity for what lies ahead. The more aware we are of which areas of our life are activated during this transit, the better we can navigate these often stormy waters and turn challenges into opportunities for growth, expansion and lasting positive change. Read the full article exploring Sade Sati here.
Pisces
Saturn transits your first house of Self ~ this is a big shift as Saturn will stay in your sign for 2.5 years. When Saturn crosses our first house He brings karmic corrections to realign us with our highest path and purpose. This can be an intense time that feels like everything slows down, but it is a recalibration. This transit can make life feel very heavy and even depressive, which is why for you Pisces, it is paramount that you adopt or recommit to your daily spiritual practices to help you move the energies as they come. The karmic corrections coming for you are the cosmos’ way of aligning you with your highest path and purpose (dharma). The focus will heavily be on self-transformation ~ daily journalling will do wonders for you ~ you will need an outlet for the feelings, reflections and realizations as they arise. Life may require extra effort, but it brings success and joy to your life in the process. It’s a time to embrace limitations and set boundaries that serve you. This may feel foreign for you as you are the fish who swims freely and without boundaries through the cosmic oceans of time, but herein lies the rub for you Pisces… without any boundaries and an inner, heart-centred sense of purpose, there can arise a sense of meaningless to it all. Therefore, embrace this opportunity to work with limitations as they arise as Saturn directs you along your dharmic path.
Saturn aspects your 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses. These aspects bring awareness to your passions, skills and life goals. Significant partnerships and relationships may be tested and evolve or shift in how you relate and what you want. Your mindset and approach to life could change significantly during this time, which could be a most welcome change and very inspiriting for you if you keep the energy moving. You may find career and work endeavours are limited, or there is simply the need for more structure and discipline around what you do in order to be successful. You are a very social sign and friends can be helpful, but your truest answers will come from within, in silence and contemplation. The reality check for you is all about the need for personal boundaries and deep, personal growth through the integration of your shadow. Deep layers of Self will likely surface for healing and the challenge will be not to let them weigh you down. Life may feel as if it moves very slowly during this time.. sometimes this can give one the sense of feeling “old”, but Saturn, also known as Father Time, invites you to slow down, go within, listen to your heart and connect with your highest truth, wisdom and Self. Meditate, contemplate, journal, take on a mantra practice and pay close attention to your dreams and synchronicities as they arise.
MOON in Pisces ~ this transit marks the peak of your Sade Sati (the 7.5 year transit of Saturn across your natal moon) ~ This is truly an evolutionary period in one’s life ~ it is truly worth of having a reading during this time to gain insight and clarity for what lies ahead. The more aware we are of which areas of our life are activated during this transit, the better we can navigate these often stormy waters and turn challenges into opportunities for growth, expansion and lasting positive change.
Read the full article exploring Sade Sati here.
At the centre of all great change lies stillness (Shiva)… if we are able to connect with that core (the place of Shunya within), then our power (Shakti) to create a life of true joy explodes and, as my teacher says, “we become unshakeable”.
Saturn Return
If you have Saturn in Pisces within your birth chart then this transit marks one of your life’s Saturn returns, which is always a time for new beginnings, growth and the evolution of the next stage of our life’s path. Saturn return happens for everyone between 27-30, 57-60, 87-90 and 117-120 years of age. Which house Pisces holds in our birth chart is determined by our Ascendant sign (determined by birth time), and when interpreted in a Vedic Astrology reading, can tell us a lot about which areas of our life will transform over the next 2.5yrs. Shani is a wise Guru and if we are able to understand the lessons He brings then we can move forward in life wiser, stronger and more aligned with our true path.
