ARIES
Saturn will be transiting your twelfth house, which is a signature that I want to flag with some cautionary notes. Given the twelfth-house’s overlapping significations with Saturn and Pisces, this could be a time where you may need to take a step back from your career, given that Saturn rules your tenth house.
Perhaps you might feel compelled to move abroad or, alternatively, you may find yourself forced into a work-related relocation.
Letting go of structure, and routines, controlling everything, and having everything go like You want to is a theme you must master. This will be especially difficult if you are used to quite a “tight shift”. Saturn will bring animosity into Your life (even fights) if you don’t learn to let go.
Subconscious patterns and their suppression is another theme You must be aware of. Issues and deep underlying problems will be forced to the surface. Of course, You will want to suffocate them even more – but the point here is to get these issues under control.
You will be forced to rest and at best, work behind the scenes. If possible, use the best of both worlds. Find a way to be more of a silent partner in ventures, as well as do nothing. If You have gotten the hang of “doing nothing” in the next couple of years – Saturn will be pleased with You.
This transit is occurring in your eleventh house of friends, social groups, wishes, and income from businesses. Your hopes and dreams, and long-term goals want more of Your effort. You need to get Your hands greasy and really dig in on how to achieve the targets that you have set for yourself. Most things will move slowly in regard to these matters. And at times, it will seem like You are taking two steps backward while only one forward. This is normal with Saturn in the 11th house.
Attracting elders or older people into your circle during Saturn in your 11th house is also a common theme.
If you run your own business, this could be a period of financial austerity, or, alternatively, a period of significant restructuring. You could also be retreating from this work, or from certain circles of friends and social groups in order to revamp your beliefs, hopes and aspirations in eleventh-house topics.
Since Saturn rules your ninth, you could experience some sudden career challenges — on the extreme side of the spectrum, a loss, or simply a period of retreat and re-evaluation. This period could last for a couple of years, so you may be asked to build new structures and work hard to restore your networks, relationships and previous position if it sees a setback, but with Neptune’s influence, it might be helpful to ensure that these foundations are more solidly rooted in reality than nebulous illusions.
Friends will ask for your help, and out of duty You will feel obliged to help them. With some of them, there will be less time and more distance between You. Something You will have to accept for the time being. Mostly because you will be working so hard to achieve your material goals.
This transit will be taking place in your tenth house so expect heavy duties and responsibilities in your career and working life (can be your own business if you are self-employed). This can be a more demanding role or a promotion that requires You to sacrifice Yourself for the greater good. But the workload will increase regardless. As the tenth house also has broader significations around our public standing and overall reputational position in the world, this transit could see some losses on that front, or some sort of forced retreat or isolation from the outward-facing areas of our lives. Given that Neptune has been in this sign for a while, you may have had a yo-yo’ing relationship with your career aspirations — perhaps you built up some false perceptions of what it could give you and, like many people, the Neptune retrograde in the second-half of 2022 could have had some of those perceptions shattered. Saturn is not going to make the next few years easy for you, especially in your career, but this can also be a period where hard-work, diligence and sober second thought can help you reap rewards. Stern bosses enter your life who demand a lot from and of You. Without a lot of praise. Here you need to buckle up and do as you're told. Otherwise, problems will ensue. In some instances, Saturn can also block working or work itself. So You might find Yourself either flipping through different jobs or taking part-time offers here and there. Or not getting interviews when You want them. You’ll want to be cautious as to when Saturn will transit over it since that can be a particularly important transit — though not the only possible significance! — for a job loss of some kind — a literal or metaphorical one, including a demotion. Helping out (when You really don’t want to) one of the parents is also a high probability during this Saturn transit in Your 10th house. Another signification which Saturn in opposition to the fourth could bring up is a parental separation or divorce of some kind. If transiting is circling your natal IC within three degrees, you should pay close attention to the nature of this transit, since you might be especially poised to experience a change in your living situation or that of your parents where some sort of Saturnian-inspired isolation, retreat or ending could occur
Saturn will be transiting your ninth house. Older and wiser mentors will enter your life. They will want more from you, and at times seem cold and distant. It is important here to accept their orders and abide by their wisdom – it will help You create the results that You desire. And Your belief systems will change!
Saturn’s ingress into the ninth house could represent higher learning as well. This could coincide with a period of educational pursuits for you — perhaps you’ve gone back to school or are pursuing some longer-term learning endeavour, maybe even with a spiritual flavour to it. There is a lot to learn and study. For some of You, new roles in teaching others are also a probability. If you are thinking about publishing something during this transit – it will take a lot of effort from your end, and the workload increases drastically. Saturn bodes well for concentrated, dedicated work over the next two-and-a-half years.
Life and the world, in general, can seem quite bleak during Saturn’s transit in your ninth house. Hard to believe in anything positive and Your belief systems take on a more practical undertone. Maybe you’ve lost your faith, Cancer, and you are being asked to find it again, and since Saturn shares twelfth-house associations, such as monasteries, convents, ashrams and places of spiritual worship and quiet contemplation, perhaps your spiritual journey will include journeys to any of those places.
For some Cancers, legal problems that drag on and on are simultaneously a probability.
Leo
This transit occurs in your eighth house which is traditionally a difficult house associated with death, taxes, inheritance, fear, depression, psychoanalysis and other things that go bump in the night. Also, partner’s resources and material assets coming from others (clients, banks, investors, etc.) will be limited in the next 2,5 years. You will have to manage it properly and if you are Your own boss – invest your money back into the business wisely.
It is a matter of mastering areas like bookkeeping, investing, and managing resources and money. Speaking of profits and losses, Saturn in the eighth could also be where you might see some contraction of your income from other sources since investments can be found in this house, but with the sign-based sextile from Uranus in Taurus, there could be some unexpected circumstance of a more positive nature potentially turning somewhat a dire situation around.
Deep and painful wounds internally now require more attention, and it can take a long time to unravel some of these hurts. Give Yourself time.
There’s less time for intimacy with the partner which provokes you to set up routines for more alone time for the two of you. This could also be a time where Saturn, having just completed its transit of your seventh house, could have seen you sever an important relationship in your life — a marriage or a business partnership for instance. Saturn in the eighth could demand that you sort out the state of any joint assets, severing shared accounts and evaluating profits and losses.
The key to surviving this transit will be bearing in mind that it is of relatively short duration and that there are aspects throughout the next two-and-a-half years that will periodically ease some of the overall intensity of Saturn’s movement through this sign. Though this can be a challenging transit, we often come out on the other side of these things more resilient, wise and hopeful.
Virgo
Saturn will be transiting your seventh house and this will initiate a just-over-two-year period of relationship challenges. Saturn is going to bring up themes of hard work, austerity, separation, isolation and loss in this area of your life.
Relationships can now seem more like work than anything else. Your partner takes on extra duties and responsibilities and has less time for You. In any case, problems in Your marriage and/or relationships tend to creep in when Saturn is transiting your 7th house. Allow time for these things to work themselves out.
Where your marriage, relationship, business partnerships or close friendships are concerned, Neptune’s transit in 2022 could have exposed false illusions upon which your relationships were based and, with the Saturn ingress in March occurring while Mercury is under the beams, it could signal something potentially hidden relating to money matters as well. Given that Mercury rules your first and tenth houses and is both in its detriment and fall in Pisces, this could be a period where you experience some deeply personal and psychological difficulties owing to these relationship issues or, alternatively, a bit of a challenge in your public reputation or even career as a result.
Saturn can bring about isolation, separation and ultimately severing, so while this may not necessarily result in a signature of divorce or splitting up, it could signal a time of difficulty in your relationship. You or your partner may also be putting up emotional walls or boundaries, potentially leading to your feeling isolated.
At times, you will find Yourself detaching from certain people and creating more distance. The same can be said about your partners. Relationships and even business partnerships can be cold and very practical.
If you are working on deals or forming new partnerships – know that from 2023-2026 they will bring you more obligations. This can include material rewards yes but not without Your own personal will and effort.
Libra
This transit is happening in your sixth house of work and health. This could be a period where you are being asked to work extremely hard to build something tangible after Jupiter transited through the sixth house in 2022, opening up ideas and expansive possibilities.
Saturn is the planet of boundaries, structure, building and so, metaphorically and literally, you might be asked to concretize ideas in this area, rather than simply swim in the ocean of infinite Piscean possibilities.
Work and lots of it is now coming Your way. It is something You will have to deal with. No whining, only good old-fashioned hard work.
There’s a tendency to take on loans or mortgages with Saturn transiting the 6th house. At times these can be forced or there’s nothing You can do about it. But if the situation permits, evaluate the opportunities from a grounded perspective.
Daily duties and responsibilities also increase. These can be associated with an extra baby coming to the family or other similar events in life that ask more from You each and every day. At times, this can seem like a lot.
Restructuring Your days, routines, diets, and health habits – this you must do. And allow yourself the time. You will have to refocus, restructure, and reorganise many times during the 2,5 years to get the results that You actually need. Issues and problems with health can last longer while Saturn is in Your 6th house.
Scorpio
This transit is taking place in your fifth house of children, pleasure, speculation, creativity and side hustles. This is an interesting transit for a couple of reasons since Saturn is coming out of your fourth house, where it was over the past few years. For those with night charts, you may have experienced a slightly more difficult time relating to home and family, even with Saturn angular and in the house of its rulership.
This could have resulted in some difficult issues coming to the fore in your home and family life; for example, a desire for maintaining the integrity of your family unit and finding some way to bend those expectant structures, while possibly feeling the pressure for liberation and independence from Uranus in the seventh house of relationships.
Now, in the fifth house, some of that pressure you might have felt will ease as Uranus in your seventh will meet up with Saturn in a sign-based sextile, so, you might be looking for more creative outlets to feed that independent impulse coming from Uranus in the seventh.
You will be putting lots of effort into your personal business and/or creative projects. But don’t expect quick returns. You will want to give up many times during this 2,5 year Saturn transit in your 5th house. But if you really want to make it on your own or as a freelancer – You need to push through the difficult times and restructure Your business on multiple occasions.
Not much time for sex, dating, or going out to have fun when You are focused on “making it” or on Your business. You will have to deal with that. As well as structure the times when You take breaks to enjoy Yourself. And even that will seem like work at times…
During this heavy transit, there will be times when all seems grey and nothing seems to bring you joy. The acceptance of that is key. Only through that, You will start to develop a more mature way of interacting with life.
Extra duties with children (new children coming in or with existing ones) and lovers take Your time (and unfortunately fun) away from you.
Sagittarius
This transit is hitting your fourth house, meaning that this could be a more significant transit for you because it’s angular in your natal chart. If you have any planets in that house in your birth chart, you will want to consider how this transit might be coloured by their presence there.
Given the austerity of Saturn’s visit to most houses, this could be a time where you might be experiencing some challenges around lack, insufficiency, fear, anxiety or depression concerning matters relating to your home life. Perhaps there will be issues surrounding the illness or death of a family member, or even a separation or divorce of parents, but any way you cut it, this is going to be an important transit and will likely hit night charts much harder than day ones.
Emotionally a heavy time for the usually upbeat Sagittarius. The time to develop emotional mastery is nigh and there’s no escape from it.
This can come through duties and responsibilities with your family – having to take care of someone or just extra errands to run. Or even remodelling or fixing things around the house. This can seem like an endless stream of work coming Your way. Another possibility is purchasing a “fixer-upper” and spending Your time on that project.
The more negative side of this transit is emotional pains and wounds coming to the surface from childhood. This will require therapy, meditation practices, and practically working on Your happiness and safety.
A strained or distant relationship with the mother and/or other members of the family is a common theme as well.
Capricorn
This transit is taking place in your third house. Are the skills You have acquired getting in between the cogs of time? Are You thinking about taking on and starting to study a new and practical skill? If not, Saturn will bring the need for it, and you will have to do it anyway. Honestly, it’s better to initiate it yourself by taking on a new venture. Maybe it’s programming, writing, or speaking? Or something else entirely but take the bull by the horns and get going from March 2023.
Those of you who are already in the fields of communication, writing, speaking, and teaching – You will have much more work to do. This could be a time where you are hunkering down for some long and arduous work relating to writing and communication. Maybe you’re going to pen your memoirs or a novel, but this can be the first step in a long and personal endeavour.
Many meetings, driving around from location to location, and short-term travel to the point of being fed up with it – are also areas You need to master and put the effort in.
Issues and duties with relatives and/or brothers-sisters will crop up. You might need to help them in some shape or form.
Difficulties in communication and conversation – people not hearing You or interrupting You are also regular occurrences with Saturn transiting the 3rd house.
Aquarius
Saturn enters your house of money and finances for the next 2,5 years (from March 2023). This will mean restructuring the way You make money, the way You handle or invest it, and what You do with it in general.
This could be an area where, you, Aquarius, might be looking to tighten your financial belt owing to some potential losses or forced austerity. Since Saturn rules both your first and twelfth houses, this could also be a more conscious decision on your part to downsize, to potentially give away possessions, reduce waste or unnecessary expenditures and focus on more practical approaches. Perhaps it is better to have extra savings and a more minimalistic approach to spending. Where can you limit yourself (or are outer circumstances limiting you– losing some sort of income stream?)? Where do you have to budget more? Investments that are tried and true do much better (but the return is still smaller) than riskier. Staying away from any type of high-risk scenarios while Saturn is in this specific house is best!
It will be hard work to prove your worth in the marketplace, and internally you might even be doubting your internal value. You might be tempted to lower your fees or take less money for your services. Think twice but if the situation requires it – you have to do what you have to.
Saturn in the second can also be a signature of thriftiness, fear around money, or anxiety around finances, so this could also simply be more of a psychological transit for you where, especially with Pluto in the twelfth house amping up that psychic fear and anxiety, you might simply be worried about the state of your bank balance.
Pisces
A sense of heaviness will enter with Saturn entering Your first house. This can involve outer-world duties or a more internal sense of responsibility. Or even both. A new level of accountability is required of You for the next 2,5 years.
This can leave You physically drained on occasion, even lacking energy. Hair going or showing signs of grey. Wrinkles start to appear – You will start to show signs of aging (at whichever point in Your life this transit happens). Do less and less often but keep going every day – this should be Your motto for the coming years.
You can also take on a more important role somewhere in Your life. That will force You to approach life in a much more profound way. For those of You who this is age appropriate – You can take on the role of the wise elder.
