It’s here: the Saturn return in Pisces! As of March 7, 2023, Saturn slid out of Aquarius and into mystical Pisces, ushering in a brand new chapter of cosmic reckoning—especially for those of you with Saturn in Pisces in your birth chart.
If you're feeling a shift in your energy, purpose, or direction... you're not imagining it.

If you have no idea what a Saturn return is, read this post.
What Is a Saturn Return in Astrology?
Your Saturn return marks the moment when Saturn returns to the same zodiac sign it was in when you were born. It happens roughly every 29.5 years and signals a period of deep transformation, growth, and life-maturing challenges.
If you’re lucky (or brave), you’ll experience it up to three times in your life:
First Saturn Return: late 20s
Second Saturn Return: late 50s
Third Saturn Return: late 80s
💡 Think of your Saturn return as a cosmic wake-up call. It pushes you to take responsibility, realign with your path, and grow the hell up—in the best way.

Saturn vs. Pisces: A Cosmic Clash of Vibes
Let’s break it down:
Saturn = structure, discipline, karma, responsibility
Pisces = dreams, emotion, spirituality, illusion
When strict Saturn enters fluid Pisces, it’s like trying to build a house out of water. This placement challenges us to bring form to the formless—to make dreams real, to create boundaries in emotional chaos, and to structure our spiritual lives.
You may feel pulled to:
Set energetic and emotional boundaries
Heal old wounds through spiritual practice
Commit to your creative gifts
Explore mysticism with structure (think: a daily meditation ritual, not just casual moon journaling)

The Last Time Saturn Was in Pisces…
Flashback to the grunge-fueled 1990s—yes, that was the last Saturn in Pisces era. It was a time of:
Creative rebellion
Disillusionment with institutions
Cultural deep dives into addiction, spirituality, and identity
Expect similar themes to resurface, both personally and collectively:
Sobriety, addiction, and wellness trends
Legal shifts around psychedelics and drugs
Artistic expression through spirituality
Religious extremism or revivalism
Water-related issues (climate change, oceans, floods)
