Sharpen your pencils and tighten your hips, people. Saturn, our dream-shattering planet of structure and boundaries, will go direct in Pisces this Friday, November 15th.
Once considered the last planet in the solar system, Saturn is known as a malefic, associated with endings, boundaries, the long term, hard knocks, tough love, inheritance, things built to last, and the wisdom of experience.
Saturn is named for the Roman god of time, agriculture and renewal, often depicted with a misshapen breast protruding from his toga and a sickle in hand. This agro instrument is appropriate when we consider the function of the planet in our lives and the constant message that we reap what we sow and are only as strong as our ability to share and sacrifice.
Saturn in Pisces 2024
Saturn has been retrograde in Pisces since June 29, slowly spinning through the muck and muck.
When Saturn is retrograde, we are forced to turn inward and better understand the limitations we have placed on ourselves. In Pisces, that introspection is colored by issues of mental and spiritual health, our connection to our higher selves and our perception of reality, and our relationships with avoidance, distraction, and escape.
In its slowdown, Saturn in Pisces asks us to reflect on the lies we’ve told ourselves, the bulls we’ve bought, and the shortcuts we’ve taken to our detriment.
A few hours before the Taurus full Moon peaks, Saturn will go direct, full tilt, and wooden oar at 12 degrees of Pisces.
When will Saturn be in Pisces?
In its highest expression, Saturn roots and reminds us that without depth, there can be no true growth, and without work, there can be no reward.
If you’re digging deep and doing the work, trying to reprogram yourself and better understand when, how and why you self-sabotage, then Daddy Saturn is here to give you a that boy and pave the way with polished stones.
Alternatively, if you’ve spent the last five months in a state of complacency, relying on comfortable coping mechanisms and convenient excuses, then the planet’s direct motion may hit you with sobering obstacles and revelations.
Astrologer Lauren Coleman refers to Saturn as the planet of reality, saying that when Saturn goes direct, we are shown—for better or worse—who we are and what we’re made of.
“No trickery or pretence. Just cold, hard truth. Saturn may seem to destroy our ideals when we are in the sign of Pisces, but Saturn does not tell us not to dream,” says Coleman. “What Saturn wants from us is to believe in the dream and commit ourselves even more fully to the dream in order to make it a closer and more attainable reality.”
Pisces = dreams, and Saturn, sweat and structure.
What does Saturn in Pisces mean for your zodiac sign?
And trust, folks, Pisces can benefit from this structure. The high radiance side of this water sign is empathic, tuned into the collective consciousness and deeply invested in the healing of self and others.
The shadow side of Pisces is nihilistic, dependent and confused. Seeks distraction at every turn, wanders around in a daze on opiates, tries to pay rent with amethysts and barter with a typewriter poem.
Since this mutable water sign is prone to anger, the calculating energy of Saturn going direct is here to force us to reckon with the glare of the noonday light of our own shortcomings and coping mechanisms so that we can to be guardians of the future we deserve.
In service of that future, Saturn wants us to have strong, energetic boundaries and be aware of how we empty ourselves into others to avoid the responsibility of our potential.
Dream car
While Saturn teaches us how to take strategic action, Pisces reminds us that the greatest rewards are often intangible: love, pride, connection, commitment, inspiration and satisfaction. While these may not be billable items, they are the foundation.
Together, the earthy toil of Capricorn and the watery, limitless possibility of Pisces make the clay we need to build ourselves and our reality into a form that is workable and wonderful.
A dream car, if you will.
Because Saturn is moving forward in a mutable sign, mutable Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will feel its effects most acutely. To better understand how this transit will affect you, look at the house in your birth chart ruled by Pisces.
