Surviving Saturn in Pisces: An Astrologer's Guide to the Transit

Updated: Mar 28

Kronos begins swimming in gilded waters.

 

Writing this post feels both triumphant and foreboding. I have many people who are close to me that will have officially closed out their first dance with Saturn. I've seen people be transformed right before my eyes as I watched them almost crumble under the weight of Saturn's gaze. People have come and gone, reminding me that our role in someone else's mythology is more often than not, a minor role. Being able to observe, and in some cases take part in, other people's Saturn return is a gift in itself. I congratulate all the Saturn in Aquarius babes, and I welcome all the Saturn in Pisces babes.

Saturn has been in the Water Bearer's abode since December 17th 2020. Saturn is leaving its comfortable domicile of fixed Air and headed into mutable Water territory. To get a rundown of what Saturn in Pisces feels like and what Saturn expects while in gilded waters, listen to the Saturn Returns to Pisces podcast episode. This post is going to further expand on Saturn in Pisces by going through each of the 12 houses and describing what Saturn will be wanting you to examine during its three year stay. We'll begin with listing the planetary movement of Saturn, then recap significations, and end with an analysis of the 12 houses. I'll also be divining advice for each house placement from my tarot cards. Pisces is a mystic sign, so it only feels right to reach towards spiritual means to understand Saturn's demands.

So this is extremely interesting and helpful, for which i thank you so, so, so, incredibly much!!


My return in in the 9th house, and most of my planets are in Aquarius and Capricorn, in the 8th and 7th houses respectively. So, this is going to be an enormously emphasized return in my chart.

I feel a lot more empowered and the areas of influence make a lot of sense to where my journey has been pointing to so far. I am nervous about the intensity but remind myself that I’ve been through a lot and can get through whatever I’m about to go through in the next few years of this return.

I’m excited to see where…

OH! I did some thinking and theorizing. I realized that my Lord is in Jupiter which seems connected similarly to the Piscean energy in my Saturn return. I feel like that has some significance, but I was wondering if there is anything other than highlighting the roles of Ruler and Lord energies. For instance, are the roles of Saturn in Pisces mirroring those energies and playing off of each other in a beneficial way? Or could it point to a more severe return with more tension/emphasis between these energies?

My gut is telling me that it just depends on how I handle things as they unfold (very saturnian/“only time will tell” kind of feeling), but I really wanted to…

You're so welcome! I'm glad the post resonates and I'd love to hear about your experiences as your second return unfolds. People tend to focus on the first return a lot, so I'm very interested in what the second one feels like and holds. Wishing you all the power and grace!!
