A COMPLETION OF A SATURN RETURN IN pisces.
If you were born with Saturn in Pisces ( May 21, 1993 – June 30, 1993 / January 28, 1994 – April 7, 1996 you have been going through your first Saturn return. This return commenced March 7th 2023 and comes to completion on May 24th 2025. We have 2 (possibly 3) Saturn returns in our lifetime based on how long we live. They occur at around ages 27-31, 56-60, and 84-90.
Our first one is arguably has the greatest impact.
Saturn is the planet of discipline, karmic lessons, linear timelines, structure, maturity and growth. When we meet our Saturn return it is Astrology’s initiation into Adulthood. It is a portal of time where Saturns rings gravitate around us, requiring us to shed layers of ourselves and adjust our physical world to accommodate who we are becoming. It is an upheaval of our internal and external world.
Usually, we notice during this “portal phase” major moments in our life we can pinpoint that have shifted. It could be moments of great loss, heartbreak, impactful people entering or exiting your life, big moves, job losses, children being born, homes being purchased. Or perhaps these shifts were an accumulation of thoughts, beliefs, “ways of being” that happened internally during this time that had a knock-on effect. For each of us it’s a uniquely personalised journey. Our Saturn return isn’t to be feared. Saturn doesn’t dismantle the structures of our life without purpose. Saturn dismantles things in order to catapult us into growth and evolution as we rebuild. He wants us to find discipline, to create new structure, to take responsibility to look for lessons, to gain wisdom.
In my sessions with clients I have spoken with quite a few people currently in their Saturn return phases. I’ve heard of illness, heartbreak, loss and well … all of the above. Our Saturn return is an intense portal of time and if you ask anyone I’m sure they can recall monumental events taking place during a time that coincides with their first Saturn return. My Saturn return absolutely broke me into pieces and I thank Saturn for that every day because his influence forced me to grow and redirect and evolve.
If your born in within these dates above your Saturn return is taking place in Pisces; which speaks to a more spiritual, emotional transformation. A transformation that is found in “healing” aspects of yourself. For some, this may be the physical body or the emotional body or a synergised healing of both. Pisces bends the mind so you might find your mind changes on things you thought it never could. During this timeframe you may find yourself feeling “unsure” or “indecisive” of whats next - this, is Pisces calling card. It just wants you to be in the moment feeling it all. Looking within during this time is essential for your soul growth.
Saturn and Pisces energy could not be more opposite . Saturn demands discipline and Pisces moves with the tides and is connected to other realms. When we combine the two we meet “spiritual discipline”. If you are in your Saturn return right now, these past years have required you to practice spirituality with a level of discipline – if you want to please Saturn and move with his pull – set your alarm and meditate each morning, take a course, do some coaching, some therapy, finish the mind altering books, attend the class, learn the skill, wake up and do your yoga flow- rain, hail or shine.
It’s not an order, it’s a way of showing spiritual discipline. Saturn loves commitment and regularity. It loves to see promises made, but more importantly, promises kept and with Saturn in Pisces these promises are on the spiritual healing side.
And even if you aren’t in your return this energy is still working its way through each of us as well. So as Saturn approaches Aries on May 24th 2025 (where he will stay, before briefly entering back into pisces September 1, 2025 – February 13, 2026) take a look at your spiritual discipline in your life- do you keep promises you make to yourself that are for your higher good?
