Why Saturn Is An Important Fixture In Astrology + What It Means In Each House

Saturn is in Pisces until 2025: Our efforts will be rewarded

I have already mentioned in my 2023 horoscope, the arrival of Saturn in Pisces ♓: "On March 7, 2023, Saturn enters the sign of Pisces. The initiatives you took in the past bear fruit. You may receive a promotion or improvement in your working conditions. Persevere because Saturn does not grant anything without effort, but if you know how to do it, you will be rewarded. Saturn in Pisces helps you draw the outlines of your inspirations to better realize them."

Like Pluto coming into Aquarius, Saturn is a slow planet. The slow planets are Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They are, in this order, further and further from the Sun. Of course, their revolution around the Sun is getting longer and longer. Saturn is the fastest of the slow planets! Saturn completes its rotation around the Sun in about 29.5 years. It transits a star sign for about 2 and a half years ▶️ In March 2023, Saturn leaves the sign of Aquarius to enter Pisces and will remain there until May 2025 😯.

Saturn brings structure where you have lacked discipline. Sacrifices may be necessary, but at the same time, you will feel yourself moving forward rather than holding your nose and hoping that your dreams will magically come true.

Saturn in Pisces: Which zodiac signs will this bring good news for?

The arrival of Saturn in Pisces on March 7 will awaken our consciousness. It may help some to detach themselves from materialistic obsession 🤑. Thus, we could be more easily touched by the difficulties of others and, depending on our sign and nature, we will want to make our contribution to the improvement of the living conditions of some. On the other hand, for others, depending on the position of Saturn in their natal chart, we will notice a tendency to give up, overwhelmed by events and quickly discouraged.

Saturn in Pisces should help us to manage our frustrations and control our emotions in order not to sink into egoism or vanity. It will then seem important to us, to contribute to the improvement of human relationships 🤝 and to move away from excessive consumerism and materialism.

• 👍 For Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer, and Scorpio, this is good news as the "old wise planet" will help them consolidate projects or realize wishes or ideas.
• 👎 For Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius, it will be more complicated as Saturn will tend to make things slower and more laborious in an effort to force them to cogitate and let their ventures and desires mature before acting.
• 🤷 For Aries, Leo, Libra, and Aquarius, it will all depend on which sector Saturn is impacting.

Saturn in Astrology: Planet of structure

Saturn is a planet of great importance in astrology. It has a lot of influence on birth charts and is also useful when it comes to forecasting techniques. In transit or in other forecasting techniques, Saturn often brings a concrete, palpable, decisive event or an atmosphere that no one can ignore! In a natal chart, it can be constructive, structuring, or frustrating.

However, beware because Saturn often has a bad reputation, and it is true that it can cause sentimental ruptures or job losses, but it does not do it alone: in this case, other planets are also dissonant at this time! Besides, it can be a great ally when this planet is well situated! It consolidates a professional position when it is well-connected to the Sun, plus it helps strengthen a relationship when trine to Venus. Furthermore, it encourages success and self-confidence when trine to Jupiter. Also, Saturn structures, secures, and limits us, in other words, it prevents drifting.

Second planet in size with a diameter of 121 000 kilometers, it is best known for its rings, composed mainly of ice particles and dust. Saturn is a gaseous planet. Like Jupiter, it rotates very quickly on itself, in about ten hours, and is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, as shown by its very low density.

Saturn in mythology: God of time and agriculture

Saturn is the divinity of sowing and cultivation of the vine, he is assimilated to Chronos. Son of Gaia, he escaped, as a child, from his father Ouranos-Uranus who, jealous of his offspring, had eliminated them. Saturn took his revenge by emasculating him with an axe, and then he reigned in the heavens in his father's place. Later, he would in turn kill his children (whom he had had with his sister Ops or Rhea) by swallowing them to avoid that they take his place...! Jupiter escaped him and found him later, to make him vomit his other children and thus save them. Jupiter then reigned and Saturn had to flee, he was taken in by Janus.
