But in March 2023 he slips into Pisces, where he will stay until the summer of 2025, and his power will be much reduced. Does this mean that our problems are over? No, it means that we enter a new era of uncertainty - but if we understand why that is happening, then the problems of this new phase will become easier for us to handle.
Saturn symbolises things which are solid, heavy, clearly structured and traditional in form. Pisces symbolises the opposite: ideas rather than practicalities, freedom rather than rules, spiritual values rather than commercial ones, and all the fluid mobility you would expect from the sign of the fish. To make these two sets of values work together is not easy. Saturn will do its best to try to contain and control its situation, but in an environment as changeable as Pisces, it can only be partially successful. On the other hand, anything which usually enjoys free expression through Pisces’ creative qualities will find itself restricted and held back by Saturn’s constant weight. Somehow, the planet and the sign must find a balance.
Pisces is the flood that undermines the foundations of Saturn’s strong buildings — but Saturn is the firm base on which Piscean fantasies can be made real. It’s a two-way process, and there is no good or bad in it, just a planet trying to stick things down in a sign which tries to loosen them again. Planets and signs don’t take sides, and they don’t have politics.
A lot of things that we have grown up with and assumed would always be there may well fade away over the next few years as Pisces gently erases Saturn’s imprint. There are no certainties any more, just unformed possibilities - unless Saturn somehow manages to make them real.
