Saturn's Entrance into Pisces: A New Astrological Era 🪐♓

Welcome to the beginning of a new three-year era on this happy day of Saturn's ingress! Although I had planned to have a video on this topic ready before today, things didn't go as planned.

Saturn enters Pisces on March 7

Today I'll be discussing Saturn's entrance into Pisces, all of its mundane significations, as well as Saturn through all the houses!

As a slow-moving planet, Saturn takes approximately 28-30 years to complete one cycle through the zodiac, spending about 2.5 - 3 years in each astrological sign. Saturn will be in Pisces from March 7, 2023 - February 13, 2026.

Saturn is known for its energies of discipline, structure, and responsibility, representing the lessons and challenges that we must face in order to grow and mature. When Saturn transits through Pisces specifically, it brings a focus on spirituality, creativity, and growth, while also challenging us to confront our fears and limitations.

As mentioned before, we have had a Saturn-ruled Saturn for the past 6 years. For the past 6 years, the planet of structure and authority has only had to answer to himself, and nobody else. When Saturn enters the watery Jupiter-ruled sign of Pisces, that will change. Saturn will then have to answer to zaddy Jupiter.

A Jupiter-ruled Saturn can help us tap into our inner depths and connect with our higher selves. Saturn in Pisces may encourage us to explore spiritual practices and connect deeper with our innermost feelings and desires, much more than we have been allowed the past 6 years.

At the same time, Saturn in Pisces can also bring challenges related to authority, boundaries and self-discipline. Pisces is a sign that can be prone to escapism and avoidance, and Saturn's energies may challenge us to confront and overcome these tendencies. This may require us to set healthy boundaries and practice self-discipline in order to achieve our goals and make progress in our personal growth.

Saturn in Pisces will bring opportunities for us to develop brand new skills and expand our knowledge, as well as to deepen our connections with others and explore our spirituality. However, it may also bring challenges and tests that require us to confront our fears and limitations in order to grow and mature. Saturn loves to respond with "well that's too damn bad".

Let's talk about the areas of life that may be affected by Saturn in Pisces...

The Mutable Signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

The mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and especially Pisces) can expect the next 3 years to be an era of discipline, foundational work, and restriction on some level. Especially those of you starting your Saturn return! This may be one of the more challenging ingresses of the year for some - not that the entirety of Saturn in Pisces will be challenging, but that the initial change of Saturn moving from its domicile to a sign where it has no particular dignity.

Here are a few things the Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and especially Pisces houses in our charts might expect to learn from Saturn transits:

  1. The importance of discipline and structure: Saturn's influence can help to strengthen and stabilize systems and structures, but it may also bring about a greater emphasis on discipline, responsibility, and following rules and regulations. This can be a learning opportunity to understand the importance of these qualities in achieving goals and creating stability.

  2. The value of hard work and dedication: Saturn's transits can often bring about challenges that require perseverance, hard work, and dedication. Through these experiences, you may learn the value of putting in effort and staying committed to your goals.

  3. The need for adaptability and flexibility: Saturn's transits can also bring about a need for adaptability and flexibility, as they often coincide with changes and challenges that require adjustments to existing systems and structures. Learning to adapt and be flexible can be a valuable skill in navigating these changes.

  4. The role of loss and change in personal growth: Saturn transits can often bring about significant changes and challenges that may involve loss or separation. These experiences can be difficult, but they can also be a learning opportunity to understand the role of loss and change in personal growth. Through these experiences, you may learn to cope with loss and find resilience in the face of change.

Overall, Saturn transits can be challenging, but they can also be a learning opportunity to understand the importance of discipline, hard work, and adaptability in achieving stability and success.

Government systems

Saturn is a planet that is associated with foundations, structure, systems, and responsibility, and its presence can bring about changes and challenges in the realm of government systems and structures.

One potential effect of Saturn in Pisces is a greater focus on accountability and responsibility within government systems. Saturn's influence can help to strengthen and stabilize these systems, but it may also lead to increased scrutiny and pressure to meet certain standards or expectations. This could result in changes to policies and procedures, as well as a greater emphasis on following rules and regulations.

Saturn in Pisces suggests that we may see a rise in legislation related to spiritual and alternative practices that have traditionally been regarded as out-of-bounds by mainstream society. This could include practices such as astrology, tarot readings, and the use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes. The influence of Saturn can bring a more conservative and structured approach to these topics, which may result in more regulations being imposed on these practices. This could potentially impact the ability of individuals to access and participate in these practices. It is important to keep an eye on any changes in legislation around these topics and advocate for responsible and informed decision-making.

Additionally, Saturn in Pisces may bring about a need for greater adaptability and flexibility within government systems. Pisces is a mutable sign, which is associated with adaptability and the ability to change and adapt to new circumstances. With Saturn in this sign, there may be a need to adapt to changing circumstances or new challenges, which could require significant adjustments to existing systems and structures. This may include a focus on stability and responsibility in government or the emergence of new structures or systems that are designed to meet the needs of the collective.

Financial structures

Saturn rules financial systems and structures, and Pisces is a sign that is traditionally ruled by Jupiter, which is a planet that is associated with wealth. When Saturn is in Pisces, it may bring about a focus on the structure of financial systems and the need for stability and security.

One potential effect of Saturn in Pisces is a greater focus on accountability and responsibility within financial systems. Saturn's influence can help to strengthen and stabilize these systems, but it may also lead to increased scrutiny and pressure to meet certain standards or expectations. This could result in changes to policies and procedures, as well as a greater emphasis on following rules and regulations. A shift with financial institutions or crypto is surely in the air.

The placement of Saturn in Pisces may potentially introduce a sense of delusion to the broader economic and financial systems. This could be due to the influence of Pisces, a sign that is associated with mysticism, dreams, and illusions. Saturn's presence in Pisces could magnify these qualities and make it easier for people to believe in unrealistic or unfounded economic concepts or investment opportunities. This could lead to bubbles or crashes in the stock market, and a general loss of confidence in financial institutions. It's important to remain vigilant and rational in our approach to finance and investment, especially during periods of uncertainty and confusion.

Additionally, Saturn in Pisces may bring about a need for greater adaptability and flexibility within financial systems. Pisces is a mutable sign, which is associated with adaptability and the ability to change and adapt to new circumstances. With Saturn in this sign, there may be a need to adapt to changing financial circumstances or new challenges, which could require significant adjustments to existing systems and structures.

Pisces is also a sign that is associated with collective themes and the needs of the community, and Saturn in Pisces may bring about a focus on the distribution of wealth and resources within society. This may involve a shift towards more equitable distribution of wealth or a need to find ways to support and uplift marginalized or disadvantaged groups.

Education

Saturn, a planet associated with discipline and structure, is entering the sign of Pisces, traditionally ruled by Jupiter, a planet connected to expansion, learning, and wisdom. As Saturn enters Pisces, there may be a focus on the structure and discipline of education systems. This may involve an increased emphasis on effective learning methods or a need to establish clear boundaries and expectations within education. In recent years, we have witnessed the education system face challenges, including the impact of the virus and the emergence of AI programs.

Saturn entering Pisces may bring about a renewed emphasis on accountability and responsibility within educational systems. This could involve stricter standards and increased pressure to meet certain expectations, leading to changes in policies and procedures. Saturn's influence may also help to stabilize and strengthen educational systems by promoting a greater focus on following rules and regulations. However, this increased focus on discipline and structure could also bring challenges, such as increased scrutiny and pressure to meet certain standards.

Saturn's presence in Pisces may also necessitate a greater level of adaptability and flexibility within educational systems. Pisces, a mutable sign, is known for its ability to adapt and change in response to new circumstances. With Saturn in this sign, educational systems may need to be more agile and open to change in order to meet new challenges and adapt to changing circumstances. This could involve significant adjustments to existing systems and structures in order to remain responsive and effective.

With Saturn in Pisces, there is a possibility of increased delusion in academia and the education system as a whole. Pisces is associated with the imagination and creativity, and while this can be beneficial for artistic endeavors, it may not always serve well in more objective fields such as science or history. The presence of Saturn, a planet of discipline and structure, in Pisces may amplify this tendency and create an environment where subjective beliefs or opinions are given more weight than objective facts. This could lead to a decline in the quality of education and research, as well as a lack of critical thinking and analysis. It is crucial to maintain a balance between imagination and rationality, and to promote the pursuit of knowledge based on evidence and data rather than personal biases or preferences.

Elders and Old People

Pisces is also a sign that is associated with the end of cycles and the passage of time, and Saturn in Pisces may bring about a focus on the needs and experiences of older people. This may include a focus on issues related to aging, such as healthcare and retirement, or a shift in societal attitudes towards older people and their contributions. Generations continue to age, afterall.

Saturn's presence in Pisces may also bring about changes to systems and structures related to health care and retirement. In the realm of healthcare, Saturn's influence may lead to a greater focus on accountability and responsibility, resulting in changes to policies and procedures and a greater emphasis on following rules and regulations. The need for adaptability and flexibility may also become more pressing, as health care systems may need to adapt to changing circumstances or new challenges.

Similarly, Saturn in Pisces could bring about changes to retirement systems, such as an increased focus on discipline and responsibility and a need for adaptability in response to changing circumstances. These changes could be necessary to strengthen and stabilize these systems, but may also present challenges and require significant adjustments to existing structures.

Creativity

Saturn in Pisces can be a foundational time for creative pursuits. When Saturn is in the sign of Pisces, it can help to improve your creativity by providing a sense of focus and purpose to your artistic endeavors. Pisces is a creative and intuitive sign, and its influence can help to inspire and stimulate your imagination.

However, Pisces can also be prone to procrastination and a lack of discipline, which is where Saturn comes in. Saturn's influence can help you to stay organized and on track, which can lead to increased productivity and better quality work. Additionally, Saturn in Pisces can help you to develop a strong sense of inner discipline and determination, which can be essential for cultivating your creative skills and bringing your ideas to fruition.

This is why such epic art and music is birthed from this transit. Saturn in Pisces brought us Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Tupac, Whitney Houston, Dr. Dre, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Doors, Billie Holiday, and many more.

With Saturn's influence, you may find it easier to stay motivated and committed to your artistic pursuits, even when faced with challenges or setbacks. Overall, Saturn in Pisces can be a beneficial influence for those looking to improve their creativity, as it helps to provide a sense of structure and discipline that can be essential for achieving success in any creative field.

Capricorn risings and Aquarius risings...

...Are are about to embark on a Jupiter-ruled next few years! This is very exciting for growth and advancement! The last time Saturn was in a Jupiter ruled sign was Dec 23, 2014, to Jun 14, 2015 and Sep 17, 2015, to Dec 19, 2017, when it was in Sagittarius. That time, it was a bit more fiery. This time it'll be a bit more inward.

Capricorn and Aquarius houses, planets, or points, can expect some Jupiterian or Pisces archetypes to layer on their experiences:

  • The Healer: Pisces is associated with compassion and the ability to heal, and those with strong Pisces influences may be natural healers or helpers.

  • The Creative: Pisces is a creative and artistic sign, and those with strong Pisces influences may have a natural talent for creative expression.

  • The Mystic: Pisces is a spiritual and intuitive sign, and those with strong Pisces influences may have a deep connection to the unseen world and the ability to tap into higher states of consciousness.

  • The Explorer: Jupiter is associated with a sense of adventure and the desire to explore new horizons. Those with strong Jupiter influences may be natural explorers and have a desire to travel and learn new things.

  • The Teacher: Jupiter is associated with learning and wisdom, and those with strong Jupiter influences may have a natural inclination towards teaching and sharing their knowledge with others.

  • The Visionary: Jupiter is a planet of big ideas and grand plans, and those with strong Jupiter influences may be natural visionaries and have a talent for seeing the big picture and thinking outside the box.

The last times Saturn was in Pisces

You can look back on these dates to get an idea of what to expect when Saturn transits this area of your chart:

  • May 21, 1993, to Jun 30, 1993

  • Jan 28, 1994, to Apr  7, 1996

  • Mar 23, 1964, to Sep 16, 1964

  • Dec 16, 1964, to Mar  3, 1967

  • Feb 14, 1935, to Apr 25, 1937

  • Oct 17, 1937, to Jan 14, 1938

Again, this shift will affect all of us, but the shift will be loudest for Capricorn risings, Aquarius risings, and people with planets or points in the mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces.
