All About Saturn in Pisces

As we navigate the cosmic energies of 2024, one of the most significant astrological events is Saturn's retrograde in Pisces. This happens on Saturday, June 29th, but you may have been feeling this already. This retrograde, lasting until November 15th, offers us a profound opportunity to reflect on our karmic lessons and make meaningful changes in our lives.

Many of us are still piecing our lives back together after the upheavals of 2020. Whether you're experiencing separation, finding your purpose, or simply going through a difficult time, Saturn's retrograde can provide valuable insights and growth.

And if you've put all of that behind you, you may be experiencing some profound transformation this year that could bring you to new heights in confidence, capacity to create, or even a whole new perspective on life.

Let's explore the meaning of Saturn in Pisces, its impact on our everyday lives, and how we can embrace the karmic themes of this transformative period, no matter if you're still working through some things, or finally out on the other side.

Saturn, the planet of discipline, responsibility, and karma, brings a grounding and structured energy wherever it transits. In Pisces, a sign associated with intuition, dreams, and spiritual insights, Saturn's influence can feel both challenging and enlightening.

This combination encourages us to bring structure to our dreams and spirituality, integrating our higher ideals into practical reality. This will absolutely impact your everyday life, and it could often have you rethinking health and wellness routines.

This time around it is so incredibly powerful at rectifying the way we may have mistreated our bodies in the past. You may be saying goodbye to rigorous fitness routine in lieu of a more balanced and calming one. You could also find that your tastes change during this transit when it comes to food craving or aversions, this is something to get curious about and explore.

This transit is here to show us a better way, even if it means dropping some old, and often less useful habits or beliefs. 

We can often experience spiritual growth and discipline at this time. What I am referring to is the routine around your spiritual practices. You could be pulled to develop a more disciplined or consistent approach to spiritual practices.

Consistency in meditation, yoga, or other spiritual work will yield profound results during a transit like this as this is truly in alignment to Piscean energy and helps to create more flow in general. And this opens up the pathways not only for physical detox, but karmic as well. 

Now let's talk about what I mean when I say Saturn is all about balancing dreams and reality. This transit tends to focus on taking practical steps toward manifesting your visions and not just getting lost in daydreams. Remember the energy around our Capricorn Full Moon? Well, this is yet another elevation to the energy present around that lunation.

You may be called to shed anything that is distracting you from your goals right now and it could be a little tiring. I say this because it could feel like two steps forward and one step back at times, but please don't let this discourage you. By November you will see the why behind all of this and it will feel more clear to you than before. 

There will also be some serious emotional healing and setting of boundaries. Healing old wounds will definitely be thematic throughout this transit and your ability to access deep emotional healing will only be heightened by Pisces' energy.

Saturn ensures patience and commitment in this process, and we love that. This is all about real, karmic, change after all. So, don't be afraid to set healthy boundaries. Saturn loves to teach the lessons and show us how to learn the importance of maintaining healthy emotional boundaries for mental and emotional well-being.

And for those who have been really diving into shadow work lately, this will feel like some gorgeous refinement that will leave you even more confident in yourself and your intuition than ever before. Look at you now!

And lastly, this transit brings creativity and practicality to our endeavors. Think of it as structured creativity. Saturn can often bring structure to creative projects and a sense of drive when it comes to doing things in proper order.

The energy around this could pull you to develop routines and schedules to harness creative flow effectively. How nice. But also, how abundant, because this will free you up to work smarter and not harder.
 
My advice to those wanting to really embrace this transit started off small but quickly grew as I mediated on it.

So here is a list to keep in mind as you navigate those Saturn Retrograde waters:

Embrace healing on your own timeline. Allow yourself to heal from separations. Use this time for self-reflection and understanding what you need in relationships while actively setting boundaries when needed. In other words,  establish clear boundaries to protect your emotional well-being and give yourself the space to heal and grow. And do not be afraid or ashamed to seek support. Don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or a professional for support during this time.

Embrace finding your purpose in unconventional ways. Do this by exploring all sorts of interests. Take time to explore what truly interests and excites you and follow your passions and see where they lead. But be so patient with yourself. Finding your purpose is a journey, not a destination. Allow yourself the time to discover what resonates deeply with you. And do your best to align actions with your values, even if they are not always the popular values. Do this by ensuring your daily actions align with your core values and long-term goals. This alignment will bring clarity and purpose.

Embrace coping with upheaval. Do this by staying as grounded as possible. Engage in grounding practices to stay centered amidst chaos. This could include walking in nature, meditation, or physical exercise. And most definitely practice self-care.

Prioritize self-care to maintain your mental and emotional health. Small acts of self-love can make a significant difference. And lastly, focus on what you can control. Instead of getting overwhelmed by external circumstances, focus on what you can control and take small, actionable steps.

Saturn’s retrograde period is a time of introspection and reassessment. It allows us to revisit past actions and decisions, offering a chance to learn from our mistakes and make necessary corrections.

Given that 2024 is an incredibly karmic year, this retrograde is particularly significant. Some may be facing past actions, while others could be reviewing and reflecting on watching karma being served. My take on this is that acknowledging mistakes and understanding the lessons they bring can be enough.

And where appropriate and possible, we can certainly seek to make amends for past wrongs.

This could involve apologizing, making reparations, or changing your behavior moving forward. And if not possible, it may simply be time to let go.

Saturn also teaches us the value of patience. So, trust that everything unfolds in its own time and avoid rushing through lessons. It will also be favorable to embrace your responsibilities, both to yourself and others and be accountable for your actions and their impact. and while it is also important to engage in deep inner work to understand and release karmic patterns, give this the proper time that it needs.

Healing is never linear. And therapy, journaling, or other self-reflective practices are all ways to support this, but don't hesitate to explore other avenues of healing as they could be offered up during this time. I guess you could say this is the Saturnian way, to break free from old patterns and bring in awareness to what is new and possible.

Mantras

Wishing you a transformative and enlightening journey through Saturn's retrograde!
