Dear Cosmic & Co-Human Beings!
SATURN makes a significant move this month, into multi-dimensional PISCES (how does that work???)…
…and out of AQ (since March 21, 2020), where it’s been about challenges / teachings (incl. learning from mistakes!) / re-structuring, when it comes to humanity, group consciousness, systems, science, as well as groups / friendships.
Yet also the necessity (SATURN) of solidarity (AQ).
Sooo many divisive experiences among humans, even endings and closures, yet also many new alliances and friendships were formed…
Sooo many people passed away, in these last 3 years.
Some of them, like Queen Elizabeth II, representatives of an ending era.
My sincere condolences to you, if you also lost dear & loved ones!
Old structures (SATURN in CAP), systems / associations (AQ) that don’t work anymore / proved lack of integrity / didn’t pass the tests of time / of what’s fit for a shared future (AQ) are ending / dissolving (PI).
Easily, judgment could have slipped into these experiences – sooo SATURN (“Those people… those systems…”).
Could you find closure, while seeing / acknowledging old / dysfunctional systemic issues?
Humanity (AQ) has re-shaped, in these SATURN in AQ years.
Which came with many painful experiences, and with lots of separation.
SATURN in the birth process represents the pain of labour, which indicates, the embryo has outgrown its womb state – a new phase must begin.
Followed by the PLUTOnian process of the inevitable passage through the birth canal (Cesareans miss that stage, and PLUTO experiences later in life can be affected by this – another story….), that transforms everything – out of the womb / matrix, into the world – becoming an independent Being.
PLUTO will be next to enter AQ, after SATURN has ‘done its job’.
2023 – 24 are the transition years.
Humanity’s birth canal out of the ‘Old Matrix’.
While the SATURN ‘midwife’ will be in PISCES, supporting a perhaps painful, yet necessary, transition ‘labour’ into a ‘New Era’.
How might PLUTO in AQ affect Humanity?
The ‘end of Humanity as we know it’?
The ‘newly engineered’ Human in the making?
Transhumanism…?
And / or: Evolved / Evolving Humans turn away from the take-over of a mechanistic & digitalized new matrix, come together in Freedom, shared values, and co-innovate community and even society?!
PLUTO’s transition into AQ will be in 3 phases:
The first one is coming up March 23 – June 11, then it goes for ‘unfinished business’ back into CAP until entering AQ for the second time on Jan 20, 2024. On Sept 2, 2024, it goes once more back into CAP, until Nov 19, when it finally enters AQ, for the following 20 years!
In the transition phase, by nature, we can envision and intuit, yet, by the very nature of it, it’s a process.
We’re ‘not there yet’ – not as Humanity as a whole. Being connected to Soul Power, based on Natural Law (which we can carry from PLUTO in CAP with us…) matters.
More thoughts about PLUTO’s Transition years, in a separate blog post, before its initial entry into AQ, on March 23.
SATURN in PISCES can teach us during these transition years, into not just a new phase but a new era(!), at a time of perceived lack of control, in a world of loss, overwhelm, chaos, and confusion, to navigate the unknown & unknowable, acknowledge the impermanence of things…
While also releasing residues of PISCES Age paradigms…
What’s our anchor in the Waves of the ‘Great Sea of Life’?
Great Wave of Kanagawa – by Japanese Master Katsushika Hokusai
Let’s glean cosmic insights,
for navigating with SATURN’s entry into PISCES
…and bring an ancient & timeless paradigm shifter into the picture, for what might be hidden in plain sight (one of the PISCEAN paradoxes):
Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.
Elephant headed Ganesh is buddies with SATURN.
He can be invoked to bring the (actual) obstacles to the light, whatever they may be, and show a path to overcome or release them.
Often with SATURN, the obstacle / darkness comes down to a condition of fear.
When we lead with fear / let fear be in charge of perception & action, we reap the results – there’s always more to be afraid of / since ‘the other’ / ‘that thing’ is out of control.
Fear is a low – and quite common vibration of SATURN.
Fears that came up with SATURN in AQ (2020 – early 2023):
Fear of isolation / or of other people / certain groups; fear of systems.
Social fear leads to even more separation / isolation.
With SATURN in PISCES (early 2023 – early 2026), what can come up:
Fear of chaos, loss, the unknown / unknowable, of inescapable energies, overwhelm, collapse – fear of everything (omniphobia / panphobia), a diffuse dread of evil in life. Snowballing fear based mass phenomena.
Fear leads to separation (and vice versa) – from one another, from our connection with the Universe, and from our strong vibrant core.
The resulting vulnerable human state can be exploited / manipulated (into polarization, blame agendas, demonizing ‘the other’ / ‘that thing’, with the notion for an externalized authority to ‘do something’ to save / protect).
Bottom line, when we’re in fear, isolation, and separation, we can be so much more easily controlled (externally and by internal ‘demons’).
SO important to be aware in that regard, in these quite isolated times.
Healthy socializing regulates our minds and emotions.
We’re social animals, and inter-connected in the Web of Life (AQ / PI).
And we can ‘personally’ contribute to a better overall vibration.
The opposite of pan-phobia is healthy ‘Urvertrauen’ (a German word for being rooted in trust in life – more like a JUPITER in PI experience).
SATURN rules the Root Chakra.
Is fear or trust the foundation from which we live / which permeates our experience? Childhood wounds play a role of course – CHIRON now in ARIES invites to healing…
Exposing ourselves to / immersing in trust / surrender / letting go, and unifying vibrations, is what SATURN in PISCES can teach us.
…rather than feeding that ‘Fear Wolf’.
Connecting with our deep roots that connect all Life, and to one another
can be one of the (maybe foundational) contributions during SATURN in PISCES.
Where SATURN’s motto Less is More can come in, when in PISCES:
Less pondering on / getting weighed down and depressed by what’s out of control, by Laws of Nature – as in:
What’s uncertain, impermanent, by the very nature of life, in its ambiguous & paradoxical ways (“One never knows…”, “This or that, or both could be true”).
What to do with the energy instead?
Maybe for starters, doing our part to make the world a better place, one vibration and ‘random act of kindness’ at a time.
That’s where the upcoming VIRGO – PISCES Full Moon on March 7 comes in that invites SATURN into PISCES, just 1 hr after the FM.
Practicing living by – timeless & spiritual life principles…
Any spiritual practice – Yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, chanting, that brings us into the ‘flow state’ is certainly helpful to us individually, and to the whole, in these times.
May we let the light of inner spiritual wisdom remove the obstacles – whichever they may be.
And wisely and compassionately raise vibrations, for a smoother ‘flow’.
Jai Ganesh!
Paradoxical PISCES, ‘evaluated’ & supported by SATURN
The two Fish of the (large) PISCES constellation swim into opposite directions.
‘Up into ecstatic / otherworldly realms’ if you will, and ‘down / going under’ – or maybe ‘checking out’, as the illustration could also suggest.
Bonded in this juxtaposition, the ‘opposites’ are united.
SATURN the ‘Lord of Karma’ shows us more clearly the ’causes & effects’ of either state, what can help to shift the ‘wheel’s direction’, and how to reconcile the paradoxes, in the grand Paradox of Life.
Going down / going under phenomena
Which esp. show up, when in low vibe / heavy SATURN mode:
*Chaos – through overwhelm, and / or loss / feeling lost (maybe post AQ alienation / isolation)
*Loss of social bonds, and of identity
*Groundlessness
*Exposed to / experiencing insanity, ‘weirdness’ of ‘consensus reality’ – not through specific issues, but through overall / pervasive atmosphere
*Helplessness
(“I’m unable to do something about… / help others” / “Nobody helps me…” “Who / what saves me?”)
*Victim or martyr consciousness
*Free floating anxiety and depression
*Addictive compensations (substance use / behaviour).
Going up into ecstatic / otherworldly realms
SATURN calls these Zeitgeist phenomena out, in these framings, and can be the coach to really embody higher dimensions of Being:
*Lost in dreams, phantasies, illusions
*Addictive-passive media exposure / consumption / going ‘high’
*Taking the ‘flight’ option, disappearing from confrontation – or from the World
*Spiritual by-passing / superiority / judgment (“If you / they only were more spiritual….” “I, however…”)
*What helps you to be in ‘flow state’ / what gets you out of it?
*Living the dream – are you? Why not?
Reconciling the paradoxes, in the grand Paradox of Life
What appears polarized are often apparently opposite expressions of their union, and of the interconnectedness and Unity of all Life.
Everything contains its polar opposite.
The balance of ‘opposites’ is interwoven.
Always dynamic and impermanent…
In constant flow & change.
When we humans experience polar opposites as too intense, we want to resist or check out, rather than experience their dependency & rhythm (light attracts / turns into darkness and back to light again, awakeness into sleep, ease turns into tension, and release again), and allow things to change & pass.
PISCES is oceanic – the interconnectedness of all Life.
The miraculous and fragile Web of Life is a PISCES theme…
As are literally oceans and atmosphere. Water IS Life.
SATURN: Take responsibility for your part, identify the major factors and parties that have brought ‘All Life on Earth’ into peril, and course correct, before it’s too late.
Also: Time to find more ‘scientific evidence’ for the interconnectedness of all Life, and for the mystery of the Universe!
Personally, some bonds / connections / co-dependencies can be toxic.
SATURN helps to disengage from those, and not feed more into the ‘karmic contracts’ of those relationships – lessons learned!
It helps to ‘take the pulse’ of the vibrations and resonance, to gain clarity.
And to ask for / get help from an unbiased outward source.
Addictions are often a re-directed / compensated need to connect and be one-with / loose ourselves in a state or activity.
Is there a way of going to the ‘real thing’?
A purer way of connecting (with Nature, one another, the Universe…)?
What are the root causes (SATURN) for the compensation?
Maybe lack of healthy bonding in childhood?
CHIRON now in ARIES can help reveal and heal early wounds.
Bottom like with SATURN about to enter PISCES: Spiritual teachings need to be practiced and embodied – esp. at times like these.
What would the wise and compassionate spiritual teacher say – and DO?
Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering PISCES
A few striking factors in the initiatory ‘cosmic framework’:
* SATURN enters PISCES just 1 hr(!) after the VIR – PI Full MOON, on March 7! (blog post about Her to follow)!
Interesting how the VIRGO Full Moon ‘births’ SATURN into PI – its complementary energy.
And the MOON is almost (besides LILITH in early LEO and the SN in SCO) the only ‘counterpart’ to quite a celestial concentration from late CAP (PLUTO) / early PI (SATURN) to mid-TAU (URANUS) / extended to mid GEM (MARS) – known as ‘bowl’ pattern.
All about Transformation (PLUTO), Transition (PISCES), new Beginnings / fierce Authenticity / Healing (ARIES / CHIRON), EmBodying Freedom (TAURUS / URANUS).
The Full MOON ‘handle’ of the ‘basket’ (extension of the ‘bowl’) can bring specific issues, and notions for ‘order’ in a world that appears ‘out of control’ / chaotic to acute awareness.
What’s SATURN’s teaching on the AQ – PI cusp?
Esp. about Unity Consciousness.
We’re all in this together / in one boat, part of the Web of Life.
* It’s PISCES Season
Being overwhelmed, ueber sensitive / influenced and feeling like going under, esp. media wise?
Good to not get sucked in and brain washed, and do on-going ‘hygiene’ / cleanses and phases of asceticism (VIR) – on all levels, while being compassionate with all Beings.
While going with the flow of things, and practicing raising vibrations…
* NO Planet is presently (until Apr 21) retro.
Lots of momentum – in certain areas of life (relating to CAP to TAU).
Which ‘Areas’ of PISCES will SATURN cover,
in 2023 / 2024, and 2025?
In case you’d like to track which years SATURN might affect or even station (go retro / direct) close to your PISCES features.
Always a good idea to find specifics in the Ephemeris.
Or let me do the ground work and come to a session…
Naturally, the SATURN retro phases serve integration of challenges / teachings, and find ‘inner authority’.
In 2023: 0° – 7°13′ PI
SATURN will enter PI on March 7, go retro this year on June 17 (day of the Summer Solstice New Moon in late GEM) until Nov 4.
In 2024: 3°15′ – 19°26′ PI
SATURN in PI will go retro on June 30 until Nov 16.
In 2025: 14°31′ – 1°56′ AR
SATURN in PI will enter AR on May 25, go retro on July 13, re-enter PI on Sept 1, and go retro until Nov 28.
In 2026: 26°08′ – 0° AR
SATURN in PI will enter AR on Feb 14.
SATURN in PISCES historically
Hubble Space Telescope
SATURN has a 29-year cycle (approx one human generation), and hasn’t been in PISCES since Feb 1994 – Apr 1996.
History comes in patterns and offers lessons (both SATURN themes).
Here are some key events of the ‘most recent’ SATURN in PISCES phases.
So much more could be said and explored – leaving that to your memory / investigation.
* Feb 1935 – Apr 1937, and Oct 1937 – Jan 1938

* In what ways is the war in Ukraine comparable with the pre-WWII phase, the war in Vietnam, or the civil war in Bosnia?
What can bring it to an end? Anti-war movements are emerging in Europe.
* Where is Union / Unification necessary, in our times?
In sooo many – and inter-related – ways…

3rd full phase: Nov 19, 2024 – 2043 / 44
* NEPTUNE’s (ruling PI) Conclusion in PI (2012 – 2026)
SATURN will catch up with NEPTUNE on Feb 20, 2026 when both Planets will be at 0° ARIES(!).
Which could mark the end point (if there’s such a specific ‘thing’) of the PISCES Age, and the beginning of a New Era / AQ Age, with PLUTO in AQ at the onset of it.
* URANUS in the second half of TAU (2019 – 2026)
SATURN end of PI will form a ‘friendly’ sextile with URANUS end TAU (at 25° respectively), on Apr 5, 2025.
Perhaps an integration of the fierce square between SATURN in mid-AQ and URANUS in mid-TAU we saw in 2021.
New ways of emBodying Freedom, while following the Laws of the Universe?
* CHIRON will continue to be in ARIES until Apr 2027
A highlight of the phase is the upcoming conjunction of JUPITER with CHIRON (on March 11, just 4 days after SATURN’s entry into PI).
Big time understanding of what’s been going on in the World of Medicine and ‘New Medicine’ in the last years.
Outgrowing what doesn’t support the Medicine of Authenticity.
* JUPITER will be during SATURN’s phase in PI…
In ARIES until May 16, 2023 – conjunction w. CHIRON on March 11, 2023
In TAURUS until May 25, 2024 – where it’ll go into sextile w. SATURN in PI on June 20, 2023, and meet URANUS on Apr 21, 2024
In GEMINI until June 10, 2025 – where it’ll square SATURN in PI (at 18 / 14° respectively) on Aug 20 and Dec 25, 2024.
In CANCER until June 30, 2026.
* The Lunar Nodes will be…
In SCO (SN) – TAU (NN) until July 13, 2023
In LI (SN) – AR (NN) until Jan 12, 2025
In VIR (SN) – PI (NN) until July 27, 2026 – SATURN will meet the NN in Apr 2025.
* LILITH will be…
In LEO until Oct 4, 2023
In VIR until June 29, 2024, where it’ll oppose SATURN on Oct 12, 2023
In LI until March 27, 2025
In SCO until Dec 21, 2025.
SATURN in PISCES in YOUR Chart shows…
painting by Johfra Bosschart
…where YOU are called to regulate overwhelm, work with chaos, yet also surrender, (re)connect, and go into unity consciousness, rather than into separation, and surrender to the Order of the Universe…
…which areas of life (relationships, career, creativity, etc…) bring it out,
…which other dynamics are linked into this (Aspects to your Planets).
If you have SUN, MOON, AC, Nodes, or Planets in PISCES – and / or NEPTUNE is important for you – and for all of us, where PI is in our charts, this is a 3-year initiation phase, to cultivate connectedness and unity – despite challenges & ‘obstacles’.
Here are keywords for the astrological Houses.
Whichever one/s PISCES is in points to the area of life where surrender and the path / DAO of Unity present themselves (while chaos can come up there too).
SATURN moving through PISCES can bring your potential to manifestation.
If you work on it – and ‘work’ on letting go and connecting, while bringing unhealthy patterns and old ‘karmic contracts’ / entanglements to a close.
1st House
Your Presence and Sense of Self
2nd House
Your Values, what you own, literally & metaphorically, your Business
3rd House
Your Environment, and its Mentality
4th House
Your Home, Origin, Ancestry
5th House
Your Creative, Playful, Inner Child and Lover
6th House
Your Work, Wellness, Lifestyle
7th House
Your Partners & Significant Others
8th House
Your Involvement and Sharing with Others, Your Transformations
9th House
What gives you Meaning, Your Wisdom, Inspiration, Path and Travels
10th House
Your Purpose incl Career, Your Public Self
11th House
Your Social Side – Engagement with Society, Groups and Friends
12th House
Your Transcendent and Spiritual Self and Union with All-that-Is.
SATURN in PISCES affecting other Zodiac Energies
PISCES (your SUN, MOON, Planets, Nodes, AC / MC) will be directly affected by SATURN –
To mature and embody spiritual teachings…
VIRGO will be opposed by SATURN –
A good challenge to see specific ‘issues’ from a place of Dao, flow, unity. Chances are the juxtaposition comes up in relationships with significant others – or with ‘all-that-IS’.
GEM and SAG will be squared by SATURN –
The intellect and intuitive knowing only go so far.
There’s a vaster field ‘in effect’…
Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?
If you were born between Feb 1994 – Apr 1996,
you’ll have your 1st SATURN RETURN (round age 28 – 30).
If you were born between March – Sept 1964, and Dec 1964 – Feb 1967,
this will be your 2nd SATURN RETURN (round age 57 – 59).
If you were born between Feb 1935 – Apr 1937, and Oct 1937 – Jan 1938,
you’ll have your 3rd SATURN RETURN (round age 86 – 88).
Full Circle to be in your Natural, God / Universe given Authority, and to show up in your best, to help with Unity!
Wishing you and all of us the Reliability of Unity & Flow,
in the Waters & Waves of Life, with SATURN in PISCES!

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
