Saturn stations retrograde on June 29 at 3:06 p.m. ET, which will occur at 19 degrees of Pisces. The period typically lasts about four and a half months, which is why Saturn retrograde won’t come an end until November 15, stationing direct at 12 degrees of Pisces. While there are many of us who will barely even feel this transit, it will be majorly significant for those who were born during Saturn in Pisces, as it means they’re currently experiencing their Sa turn return . For example, if you were born between 1993 to 1996, then you’re likely going through your Saturn return right now. You can find your natal Saturn placement by calculating your birth chart .

In traditional astrology, Saturn is hailed as the “Great Malefic,” since Saturn’s influence is known for being harsh and heavy-handed. Associated with karma, discipline, and hard work, Saturn can be highly restrictive. Whether in transit or in a birth chart, Saturn’s placement often shows where you’ll experience more pressure and restraint. Saturn doesn’t invoke whimsy and it doesn’t tolerate frivolousness. If anything, Saturn represents boundaries, maturity, and authority. Without Saturn, there wouldn’t be a sense of duty or command. But if there’s too much Saturnian energy, it almost feels like living under a dictatorship. The catch-22 of working with Saturn is being able to establish yourself as the authority of your life instead of living under someone else’s rule.

Although cold and challenging, Saturn is a teacher planet. Saturn’s teachings correlate with Roman mythology, as Saturn is the god of the harvest. Think about what it means to create a harvest. You have to plant a seed and then meticulously tend to that seed for months, sometimes years. Blood, sweat, and tears will go into this seed. Eventually, your hard work and dutifulness pay off when the harvest is ready to be reaped. As a teacher planet, Saturn bestows the lesson that hard work pays off in time. By proxy, Saturn also teaches hard lessons about taking shortcuts, shirking responsibilities, and lacking maturity. The key to working with this teacher planet is learning that patience truly is a virtue.

Since Saturn is in P isces , this means Saturn will answer to Pisces’ co-rulers, which are Jupiter and Neptune. Because Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion , this will encourage Saturn in Pisces to be mindful of too much excess. It might be tough to find balance between over- or under-doing something during this time. Meanwhile, the dreamy and disorienting energy of Neptune will remind Saturn that it’s OK to have hope. With both planets guiding the Great Malefic, Saturn in Pisces will help everyone find hope and optimism without being unrealistic.

One way to gauge what Saturn retrograde in Pisces may bring is to look back in time toward the last Saturn retrograde , which was from June 17, 2023 to November 4, 2023. Think about what major events unfolded during this time. Some of these themes may pop up once again during this year’s Saturn retrograde in Pisces.

Generally speaking, retrogrades are the perfect time to reflect on anything that has either passed or is already in motion instead of looking toward new ventures. Saturn retrograde will encourage you to go within to reflect on what you want to pursue long-term. The hierarchy of your life might be subject to change depending on your constraints and duties. Given that Saturn will retrograde through Pisces, you may have to be mindful of the pastimes and commitments that speak to your soul. It could also be an excellent opportunity to work on self-accountability and boundaries.

One major cosmic event will occur during Saturn retrograde in Pisces. There might be a lot on your plate when Jupiter in Gemini squares up with Saturn retrograde in Pisces on August 29.

By now, you could feel overwhelmed by everything you took on. Instead of burning the candle at both ends, you should restructure your commitments. Don’t focus on short-term flings when there are long-term avenues and possibilities to consider.
