Saturn in Pisces 2023 – 2026
Saturn enters Pisces on March 7, 2023, and will last until February 13, 2026. At the collective level, there will be a strong focus on spiritual themes, faith, compassion, finding a mystical sense of existence outside of the traditional, and supporting others in their purpose.
New spiritual approaches will emerge and boundaries will be broken in pursuit of dreams. This energy will combine with all that Pluto brings, which enters Aquarius on March 23.
It is a period of profound change with religious paradigms, work schemes, therapeutic approaches, and our relationship with technology.
It will affect each person individually with respect to what they have in Pisces in their natal chart, and what contacts Saturn makes in relation to their planets and cusps.
This new period will lead us to ask ourselves these questions:
- What do I believe?
- Am I in search of my dreams?
- Do I take risks for what inspires me?
- Do I allow myself to show myself as I am?
- Am I true to my beliefs?
Saturn Return – What happens if I have Saturn in Pisces in my birth chart?
Saturn return is when this planet transits our Saturn in the birth chart. In other words, it returns to the same degree as it was at the time of our birth.
Saturn takes approximately 29 years to pass through all the signs. For this reason, the famous Saturn return occurs when we are between 28 and 30 years old.
Although the transit doesn’t last very long, it is common to feel it in advance, usually, a few months before and a few months after it occurs.
It is a key point at which a new stage of personal development begins. We take control of our lives, our decisions, and therefore our destiny.
When Saturn’s return occurs it shows us how far or how close we are to who we really want to be, to our dreams and longings. It reveals to us how much we allow ourselves to risk or how limited we are. It is a moment in which life directs us according to what our soul genuinely seeks.
Saturn removes things, spaces, and people that do not serve us to guide us toward our soul’s path.

Saturn Return in Pisces Meaning
In this period, changes in cycles are manifested, and also the making of decisions regarding challenges and important risks in our lives.
How harmonious or how many challenges our Saturn return will generate depends exclusively on how we have it in our chart, i.e., what aspects it has, what house it is in, what house it rules, and other specific factors.
It is important if we are entering this period to ask ourselves the following questions in the most sincere way:
- Are you true to yourself?
- Are your actions moving you closer or further away from your goals?
- What do you want to achieve?
- What inspires you in life?
- What would be your best version of yourself?
- What makes you happy?
- Do you take risks in your life?
- What dreams do you have?
- Are you a priority for yourself?
- Do you follow your own criteria or someone else’s?
Take your time and answer each of these questions thoroughly. There are no right or wrong answers. There are answers that are bringing you closer to you and what your Saturn return will bring.
Give yourself the opportunity to respond intellectually but also based on how you feel about each possible answer.
Saturn in Pisces – Structuring the Collective Unconscious
Saturn in Pisces is a time when individuality is supported by social precepts and how to move forward from service and compassion rather than personal selfishness. Many groups of religious fanaticism will emerge, and everything linked to the spiritual world will rise.
Saturn in Pisces will bring a period on a collective level of many changes in matters of beliefs, religions, life perspectives, care for nature, awareness of the other, and connection with the whole.
On a personal level, everyone with Saturn in Pisces will be going through a period of change of perspective, of making important decisions, and of great growth based on their dreams and personal inspiration.
For those who do not have Saturn in Pisces, it is important to analyze your natal chart and see what you have in the 30 degrees of Pisces. Saturn transiting there will make multiple activations with respect to the planets with which it makes contact.
These contacts will be linked to how we take risks, what we have learned from experiences, how much compassion we have for ourselves and others, and what healthy boundaries we manage or which ones restrict us from our true potential.
It is a good time to look inside ourselves regarding our dreams and look outside to see how we can contribute to all those around us to be their best version.
