From July 14 to November 28, 2025: Saturn Retrograde in two acts!
Buckle up, here's Saturn deciding to go backwards for over 4 months. And watch out, this isn't just any retrograde: we're getting a double feature with a change of scenery midway through! First in Aries (until September 1, 2025), then in Pisces (from September 2, 2025). It's like switching from an action movie to a meditation documentary... Hold on tight, it's going to shake things up differently!
Act 1: Saturn Retrograde in Aries (July 14 - September 1, 2025)
Imagine Saturn, the strict teacher of the universe, showing up in Aries' playground. Result? Your boldest projects will have to pass a technical inspection! This period is like being asked to run a marathon... but first, let's check your shoelaces.
Under Saturn retrograde in Aries, the dynamic energy of Aries, usually impulsive and proactive, finds itself confronted with the need to slow down and consider the consequences of our past actions. This can translate into a period of questioning where we must face our fears and doubts.
Projects launched in Aries' momentum might need adjustments or a reexamination of priorities. This period encourages establishing solid foundations for the future, urging us to align our actions with our most sincere values.
What concretely awaits you:
- ⚡ Your initiatives are stuck in neutral: you planned to conquer the world? Saturn says "Hold your horses!" Projects launched hastily since the beginning of the year will show their flaws. Impulsive decisions? They're coming back like a cosmic boomerang.
- 💪 Leadership in revision mode: your "pack leader" side will be tested. Authority conflicts will resurface ("Wait, who decided that again?"). It's like the universe is sending you a surprise audit on your ability to lead. Spoiler: you'll need to revise your approach!
- 🎯 Autonomy goes through crash testing: you thought you were independent? Saturn will verify! Situations where you depend on others will multiply, just to annoy you. It's karma reminding you that we're never really alone (even when we'd really like to be).
Act 2: Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (September 2 - November 28, 2025)
Change of atmosphere! Saturn takes off its warrior armor to put on a monk's robe. No more action, time for XXL introspection. If in Aries we were revising our projects, in Pisces we're revising our dreams (yes, even the wildest ones).
With Saturn retrograde in Pisces, we may feel the need to withdraw more for introspection. Some may experience melancholy and frustration over disappointed hopes. In our interactions, this Saturn retrograde gives us direction.
Meditation appears as a path to wisdom, helping us realize our aspirations without falling into obsession. This period can also highlight our unjustified sacrifices, reminding us that we have the potential to assert our individuality.
What's going to happen (prepare the tissues):
- 🫧 Illusions burst like bubbles: you know, that brilliant project that was supposed to give your career a new turn? That perfect relationship that was just starting? Saturn in Pisces will make them pop! It's the big cleanup of fantasies. Brutal? A bit. Necessary? Totally!
- 🧘♀️ Spirituality gets serious: no more casual yoga or 2-minute meditation. Saturn demands structure, even in your zen practices. It's like having a personal trainer for your spiritual life: "Come on, 10 more minutes of mindfulness!"
- 💭 Past sacrifices resurface: all those times you said "yes" when you were thinking "no"? They're coming back in replay mode. It's time for accounting: what did you give out of guilt vs. true love?
📌 Warning: Saturn retrograde can be a time of melancholy, but let's see it as an opportunity for growth. It's time to dive into yourself, to focus on what really matters to you. Don't see this period as a hassle, but rather as a chance to reinvent yourself. Take care of yourself, smile at life and embrace this period with courage. You'll come out stronger. You're on the right track!

Your survival missions for this double retrograde:
- ✅ "Slow and Steady" mode: Slow down! It's not a race. Projects can wait until November. Take advantage to polish every detail: a solid business plan is better than a house of cards launched too quickly.
- ✅ Flexible schedule: Plan wide, very wide. Delays are Saturn-guaranteed. Systematically add 30 minutes of buffer to your appointments and keep free slots for the unexpected (spoiler: there will be some!).
- ✅ Ego check-up mode: In Aries, check if it's your courage or your pride speaking. Before each important decision, ask yourself THE question: "Am I doing this to prove what and to whom?"
- ✅ Dreams with a realistic touch: In Pisces, keep one foot on the ground (even if the other is in the clouds). Create a concrete action plan for each dream: castles in Spain are nice, but with a building permit, it's better!
- ✅ Diary mode ON: Write everything down! Revelations come in waves, don't lose them. Keep a notebook near your bed: 3am epiphanies Saturn retrograde style are worth gold.
- ✅ Projects to revise: Pull out your old files, it's time to perfect them. That unfinished manuscript, that dusty business plan, that never-completed training? It's their time to shine!
Bonus tip: This double retrograde is like an intensive personal development course offered by the universe. In Aries, you learn to build on solid ground. In Pisces, you learn to dream with wisdom. Is it tiring? Yes. Is it transformative? Absolutely!
Dates to mark:
- July 14: Beginning of the slowdown, breathe deeply
- September 1: Aries → Pisces transition, radical energy change
- October 15: Peak introspection, plan a retreat (even in your living room)
- November 28: End of retrograde, champagne (in moderation, Saturn is watching)!
Breathe, take your time, and remember: even Saturn retrograde eventually resumes its forward march. Until then, enjoy this cosmic pause to solidify your foundations and clarify your intentions. Promise, in November, you'll thank the universe for this "system update"! 🚀✨
Please state the time the planets go direct...it makes a huge difference.
