All Signs
Saturn is associated with restrictions, limitations and increased responsibilities. It can represent loss, authority figures and the government. Saturn's journey through our chart is where we have to pay close attention. It represents what we really want in life; and - it is actually helping us to get it! (Strange as this might sound, most of us are out of touch with what we truly want.) Saturn entered Aries in May for the first time since 1996-1999. This week, Saturn turns retrograde and slips back into Pisces to stay until mid-Feb. 2026. The last time this occurred was at the end of 1996. Let's do a shallow dive into Saturn to see what's happening right now. Speaking of "now" - there's a sign in an Irish pub that says, "Free beers tomorrow!"
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're starting out on a new journey that will bring about many changes, perhaps changes that even necessitate a change in your daily wardrobe. This is because you're stepping into new territory, as you leave behind the things that you had to let go of in the last three years - people, places, possessions and even countries. Part of this new journey means you're going to reinvent yourself by 2032. Older Aries natives might recall that they were in a similar position back around 1996 (give or take a year). At that time, you reinvented yourself by around 2003. Does any of this ring a bell, Pavlov?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are downsizing and streamlining your world, going through closets, cupboards, garages and storage areas getting rid of what you no longer need. (This is tough because Taurus is the collector of the zodiac.) Nevertheless, you can get rid of deadweight. You might also leave friendships, jobs, relationships, organizations, clubs and activities that no longer resonate with you. You don't get the same response from them that you used to. Basically, you're moving on, to get ready in the next few years to enter a new path. But not yet. Older Taurus natives can remember that back around 1996, you let go of things to get ready for 1999, which was such a pivotal year.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You have enjoyed some recent admiration in the eyes of your peers, and rightly so. You deserve this praise and respect. But now, you're dealing with the fallout of some of your success, which is why you need to find that delicate balance of relating to friends and groups, while at the same time, maintaining your own identity. You have always loved an adoring peanut gallery, but at this stage in your life, you don't want to be subsumed. You don't want to lose your identity in a group - you want to maintain your own authority; and yet, still enjoy these relationships. This is what you are juggling. And for those who can recall, it was also what you were juggling back in 1996 before you started to downsize your world around 1999.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This a powerful time for you! You're at the peak of a 30-year cycle, which for your sign, is your time of harvest. This is a time when you are proud of your achievements! It's also time of great responsibilities. Naturally, because your achievements are the result of your past efforts - it's also a time of some failures. That's inevitable. Don't focus on failure - let that go. Focus on what you have achieved. Certainly, this is a time of leadership for many of you. It's also your chance to make a big impression on your world. Some of you can think back to around 1996, and recall the achievements that made you proud back then. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is an exciting time in your life because it's a time of preparation, when you're getting ready (whether you know it or not) for your time of harvest that will peak around 2028. That time (a few years from now) will be the culmination of your efforts - certainly since around 2012 - and it will be the peak of a 30-year cycle dating back to 1996. This is why now is the time to take courses, or travel, or do whatever you can to get more experience of life. Grab every chance to hone or improve your skills, so that a few years from now, when you reach this peak that is the time of harvest, you are the best that you can be! "Stick a fork in me Lord - I'm done!"
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Currently, you're in a similar position to what occurred in your life back around 1996. Back then, as now, you might have been forced to get along with less. Recently, you might have left a job, a relationship, something that gave you support - and now that support is diminished. This means you are thrown back on your own 2 feet to rely on yourself. You might also find yourself forced to deal with someone else's values - even if those values don't agree with yours. You will have to learn to live with these values without destroying your own individuality. As such, this is a time of major transformation. Older Virgos can look back to around 1996 to perhaps see a comparison.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
At this stage in your life, you might find your relations with spouses and close friends to be challenging. In fact, some will end. However, most relationships will make adjustments, and they will endure. Some of you can think back to around 1996 (give or take a year) to some close relationships that ended then. This year is also the culmination of something that began around 2010. You might have set off in a new direction? Then between 2015-2018, you had a job change or a residential move (or both). Increased family obligations around 2018-2020 were also a factor. Recently, since 2023, you've been busting your buns! Now you want to make goals about your external world. You're ready!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Many things are a focus for you: your work and your health. It's important to respect your health, and treat your body like your temple. Your work is another challenge for you at this time, because you have heavy responsibilities and situations that might feel overwhelming to you. In actuality, you are preparing for a time in about two years, when you will have a debut of sorts. You will step out into the world and say "I'm here!" Then you will be more concerned with your external goals, and focus on what's happening "out there" -- as opposed to what's happening "in here." It will be a big shift.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Saturn in your fellow Fire Sign is now supportive to you - like the third leg on the three-legged stool. It will help you to prepare for anything important, which is why you'll do well at accomplishing what you want. Cooperation with others will be excellent. You can even build up your physical strength! Many of you will win recognition; while others will impress bosses with their diligence. Nevertheless, this is also a stage in your life when you might wonder (no matter what your age) what you want to be when you grow up. What should you do to express your talents? Older Sagittarians might harken back to around 1996 for further clarity.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You have traditional values. Home, family, 2.5 kids, white picket fence, God, motherhood and the flag. You like security and well-planned endings. As such, a stable home environment is important! This is why you want to secure a reliable home base - something that is a refuge that you can count on for yourself and your loved ones. Because of this, many of you are contemplating major repairs and renovations, or making changes, especially if it's been something that you've been "putting up with." (Like buying a new mattress.) If you are ultimately going to do it - do it! Some of you might have increased responsibilities with a parent.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Things are uncertain for you at this time because your everyday mental patterns, attitudes, habits, and even your styles of speaking, or ways of listening to others, are being affected. In order to "see" your daily environment with more clarity - very likely, your daily environment is going to change to provide you with the stimulus you need to really "see.". Therefore, many of you will undergo residential moves, job changes or both. The result will be that you will be engaged in a more alive way with your daily world! You won't be coasting on automatic. This is a time of intense learning for you
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Saturn is currently in your Money House, which can make you experience financial loss. Control over your material possessions seems to be slipping from your hands. You feel helpless. The key is not to let fear or financial insecurity take hold of you. At a deeper level, it's time for you to figure out what your values are. What really matters? Whatever is happening externally will prompt you to discover what your real needs are, which might be quite different from what you think they are. Don't get hung up between the disparity of what you think you should want, and what you do you want. Oh yeah.
