Saturn in Pisces

In the timelessly epic words of the Blue Oyster Cult band; Don’t fear the Reaper.

Saturn bears many harsh names, including an analogous reference to Satan and, consequently, the Grim Reaper. However, we should not merely regard Saturn as the arbiter of time and death itself, although when the time comes... it comes.

Time is an enigmatic concept beyond full comprehension. There exists only the present; the past and future are mere thoughts, whether memories or fantasies. Yet time inexorably moves forward.

Greek philosophers delineated three types of time: Aion, Chronos, and Kairos. Aion represents everlasting eternity - 'all time'. Chronos, or Kronos, signifies 'clock time', with which we associate Saturn. Kairos denotes 'the right time', prompting the question, "What is it time for?" Hippocrates observed that "Every Kairos is a Chronos, but not every Chronos is a Kairos." To me, Kairos embodies Saturn in Pisces.

Saturn commenced its transit through Pisces in March 2023 and will continue until May 2025. The Father of Boundaries roams freely within Pisces' deep and boundless depths, blending its inherent strict and methodical nature with the grand illusions of mystery. This energetic shift presents a treasure trove for those who approach it with care. Picture this energy akin to that of a magician learning to adeptly cast spells.

Pisces epitomizes the mystical, spiritual, poetic, and mysterious. It encompasses our imagination, intuition, and harbors all secrets. Pisces embodies the tender vulnerability of compassion, empathy, kindness, and universalism. Its domain spans all institutions, elusive and illusory phenomena, and the dissolution of boundaries. Some liken Pisces' dreamlike realm to death, the greatest mystery of all.

Saturn in Pisces epitomizes the ultimate connection between fantasy and reality. Saturn will shape our connections to spirit, religion, and all belief systems by instilling discipline in the form of devotion. It is the sacred space where dreams of the possible emerge, coupled with the commitment to see them through. Saturn empowers us to commit and uphold commitments. The dreams cultivated from our Pisces placement in the hidden realms can evolve into short and long-term goals when we tap into Saturn's steadfastness.

Saturn lends its authority and leadership to this partnership by providing a framework for identifying and solidifying our intuitive processes underlying thoughts, beliefs, actions, instincts, intuitions, and, significantly, our unconscious. Now is the time to build our dreams, to craft dream boards reflecting our deepest desires, to engage in precise endeavors such as architecture or remodeling, initiate a meditation practice, or journal our gratitude. It is a period for self-reflection tempered with accountability. Saturn stands as the most reliable co-creator in all endeavors, instantly available when summoned. Thus, we are blessed with the opportunity to responsibly, patiently, and pragmatically commit to nurturing our souls, lives, world, and universe. Moreover, society experiences an uplift; while Saturn governs with schedules, timers, and punch clocks, Pisces' energies meld into harsh structures, synergistically empowering responsibility to advance lofty social and institutional reforms and humanitarian causes.

The combination of Pisces and Saturn enables us to envision the forest in our imagination while being immersed in the intricate reality of the trees. It is living in the microcosm while believing in the macrocosm. It is the vision of abundance that sets us on the path to sow the seed, nurture it to maturity, and harvest the bounty. Just remember, Saturn is slow. It’s important that you do not give up. Patience will go a long way when you embrace the beauty of the practice. So do not fear the Reaper, for you are the reaper - if you choose to be. Embrace the powers bestowed upon you by Saturn, and what you sow, you shall indeed reap.

Blessings and thanks for reading.
