Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Today, we're going to take a look at Saturn turning direct in the sign of Pisces, and we are going to track out all of Saturn's movements through the sign of Pisces thus far. I'll give you a sense of what you can expect by whole sign house in your birth chart. These will be short horoscopes for all 12 signs. You can listen for your sun or rising sign—just pick the one that resonates most with you, and you can focus on that to get a sense of what Saturn is doing.
The idea here is that Saturn tells a long, process-oriented story. It takes between two and three years to move through each sign. Tracking Saturn's movements through direct and retrograde motion can be really useful for understanding the broad sweeps of Saturn's influence in our lives. It shows us the stories Saturn is telling. Getting a feel for the topics of the house that Saturn is moving through when it changes directions is always useful, and that’s what we’re going to do today.
Before we get into it, as always, remember to like and subscribe. We did some research and found that a significant number of people who listen to the channel regularly aren't subscribed. It's simple to do, it's free, and it really helps us grow our channel, our community, and our business. We really appreciate it. We're aiming to reach 80,000 subscribers by the spring equinox, so progress along those lines really helps us, and we appreciate everyone who's already helped us grow so much this past year.
You can find transcripts of any of these daily talks on my website, which is NightlightAstrology.com. A couple of promotions: One, of course, is this weekend. Our first-year class, Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic, begins on Saturday. So you still have just a few days to sign up. Go to the Courses page, click on First-Year Course, to learn more about the program. I’m very excited about this program, and we have a great election under which to begin our study—Pluto entering Aquarius. Oh, funny, my page isn't loading, but it will in just a second.
You'll have a great election to study under, as it's a great time to begin an apprenticeship in ancient astrology. Class starts Saturday, so be sure to sign up before then. There's also a need-based tuition option at the bottom if you could use a little bit of help to make it happen.
Second thing I want to point you to is the events page. Click on Live Talks, and next week, my talk Pluto in Aquarius: AI, Aliens, and New World Orders will come just after Pluto enters Aquarius. You can sign up for that webinar and receive a link to the live event. If you can’t attend live, you’ll still get the recording afterward.
A couple of other things: If you go to the Book a Reading tab, I'm very happy to announce that just prior to the start of our annual Kickstarter this year, we have finally set up our need-based astrology reading service. You can scroll through and meet our readers. We have three different tiers at different price points to make sure that readings are accessible. At the lowest price point, we have some of our talented graduates and students of our programs. So I hope you'll check that out.
On a final note, on the 18th, our annual Kickstarter will begin. We’re rallying the support of backers to help support our channel for the year ahead. I’ll be telling you more about that, along with some of our cool rewards and backer goals for the year, next week. It’s hard to believe it’s already Kickstarter season again, but more on that soon.
Alright, on that note, let's turn our attention to Saturn. Here’s the real-time clock, and what I want to do for starters is just track where Saturn has been since entering the sign of Pisces. Now, this timeline will apply to everyone, and then we’ll get into the houses.
Saturn entered Pisces around March of 2023. In late June of 2023, Saturn turned retrograde and moved back to the early degrees of Pisces before turning direct in early November 2023. From there, Saturn continued in direct motion. We can see Saturn slowing down to station in late June/early July 2024. So, if you track the topics we go over in your horoscope, you’ll be able to see a storyline unfold from the early part of 2023 until now.
Now, let's go back to the beginning. When Saturn first ingressed into Pisces in March of 2023, here’s what I recommend doing for those of you at home. Grab a journal and use these prompts:
- What themes have been present from March 2023 to the present?
- If it's in the marriage house, what themes have been present around marriage? If it's about groups of people, what has happened there? If it's about career, health, money, family, etc., what has been the theme?
- What events have taken place in these areas of life?
- What questions do I have now?
You’ll apply these prompts to the whole sign house topics we go over in today’s horoscopes. For example, if Saturn has been in your 11th house (groups, friends, allies, colleagues, social networks), you’d reflect on themes around those areas. What events have taken place? What questions do you have? What changes have you noticed? This reflective journaling exercise will help you track Saturn’s movement and understand its impact.
Here’s another helpful Saturnian question: In what ways have I grown up or matured? Again, apply this to the topics of the house Saturn has been transiting. For example, with Saturn in your 11th house, ask how you’ve matured around groups, friends, or social networks.
Finally, you might add another very Saturnian question: What limits or obstacles have I encountered? This kind of questioning helps you understand how Saturn has been influencing you. Even if you don’t journal, just running through these questions in your mind is helpful.
Take some time with this exercise, and I promise you, it will be incredibly helpful in tracking Saturn’s influence, especially during this pivotal moment of change as Saturn shifts direction.
Alright, now that we’ve gone over some of the general prompts for reflection, let’s dive into some of the themes of Saturn in Pisces. If you haven't already, I recommend going back to the videos I made in 2023 during the winter and spring as Saturn entered Pisces. You can find them by searching Saturn in Pisces on my YouTube channel. Those videos provide a deeper dive into the archetypal meaning of Saturn in Pisces.
After a year of Saturn being in Pisces, we can start to take it for granted, and we forget some of the deeper meanings of this transit. It's helpful to refresh our minds on what Saturn in Pisces represents, as it might be like the water we’re swimming in and not always consciously noticed.
Saturn is associated with processes of maturation and growth, often achieved through hard work and inner discipline. It's connected to time, obstacles, perseverance, and working within limits. Saturn helps us refine our goals and clarify our direction. It’s like a “great no” that slowly helps us say yes to what truly matters.
Saturn also represents the tension between opposites. It often brings up dualities in life, forcing us to reckon with things like failure vs. success or weakness vs. strength. Saturn in Pisces brings themes of both failure and redemption, sinner and saint, boundaries and boundarylessness. These stark opposites invite us to mature by learning how to carry tensions rather than collapse into one side or the other. The more we work with these tensions, the wiser we become.
Saturn’s role in Pisces is especially interesting because it can bring up the tension between mystical longings and the mundane realities of life. It forces us to reckon with the fact that both magical and mundane exist simultaneously. It’s about learning how to carry the truth of both in a balanced way.
For a deeper dive into Saturn in Pisces, I recommend revisiting the videos from earlier in 2023. There’s a lot more to explore there.
Now, let's look at some flash horoscopes. With Saturn’s direct motion, we are at a pivotal turning point. Saturn has been retrograde since June, and now it's changing direction. This shift marks a change in the story, so let’s explore what that means for each of the 12 signs, starting with Aries.
For Aries, this is a 12th house storyline. The 12th house is about the unconscious, hidden aspects of life, and themes of solitude, separation, and reflection. It’s the place where we encounter the things that undermine us, like toxic environments, behaviors, or unresolved emotional issues. Saturn’s work in the 12th is to bring attention to these things and ask us to face them with maturity. It’s about developing spiritual practices, therapy, or finding a deeper connection to something greater than our individual selves.
And so we might ask the question, what is shifting right now with respect to your friends or your allies who are? The wisest and most mature of your friends, colleagues, which groups, which social connections offer a place of deeper and more meaningful connection, and which groups do you end up feeling outside of, somehow or as though you do not belong? Which friends or allies are giving good advice or help or benefits or connections, and which are not? Who is draining you and who is filling you up? And in what ways do you feel as though your role within a larger community is meaningful or appropriate, and in what ways are you being asked to refine or further shape where you belong, socially or within the collective by virtue of what you say no to or how you separate yourself from others?
These are the kinds of things that I see continuing to be addressed and refined by Saturn's presence in the 11th house for Tauruses.
All right, let's move on to Gemini. With Gemini, we're looking at the change of direction for Saturn in the house of your career, the environment of your workplace, your reputation or status in the world with respect to your vocation, what you do that engages you with the reality of the collective, the community, the society that you live in. In what ways are you feeling bored or dragged down or tired or exhausted with the work you do? And how is Saturn asking you to refine or reshape your vocation or your calling, or your sense of social direction?
Is Saturn helping you to cultivate a sense of mastery in the world with respect to things like crafts or skills or abilities? Is Saturn also asking you to take a more serious look at what you actually want to be doing versus what you feel completely bored with? Or, you know, Saturn can make you feel like certain things are dead or hollow, and therefore you might be going through a process of slowly refining what it is that actually fills you up and makes you feel happy again with respect to like your career or your work in the world.
All right, let's keep going. So for cancers, we see Saturn in the ninth house, the place of higher wisdom and beliefs. And so here, the question is, what do I believe? What is truth? How does my life philosophy contribute to the path that I'm on? Saturn could be about just slowly and progressively defining what it is that does not fit—what beliefs or spiritual or religious communities are substantive and helpful, and which ones are not.
This can also be about really taking a deep look at what you believe versus what you maybe have believed through an act of conformity. Like Saturn is a planet that's associated with conformity in the ninth house. It could be that you're being asked to look at the various levels of your beliefs, belief systems or structures, and whether or not they are actually your own or something that you were just taught to believe or adhered to out of tradition or out of a sense of not wanting to stand out or be different.
Crisis of faith, crisis of belief, existential confusion or doubt. All sacred parts of Saturn's journey through the ninth house. Also, the seriousness with which you are developing your understanding of a craft, a trade, a study. Saturn is great when it comes to finding teachers that are serious and deep and committed, as well as helping you refine or restructure approaches to learning. This structure, this way of learning, is what works for me. This kind of teacher is what works for me.
The path of learning and education may also be one that you're very committed to right now, as Saturn has been working through the ninth house, and often brings a greater level of discipline or focus to things like higher learning.
For Leo risings, Saturn is in your eighth house, and this change of direction brings a change of momentum, or a change in the ongoing storyline around karmic contracts. This is a key phrase that I like to use for the eighth house because the eighth house is really about the give and take between souls. I give you this. You give me that. All relationships are rooted in exchanges of values, goods, services, time, energy, money, research, resources, gifts, blessings, friends, allies—and we also bring into these relationships various demands and obligations and expectations and attachments.
Saturn in the eighth for Leo's is asking you to consider the depth of your commitments, which ones are solidifying and deepening and built on mutual respect, understanding, love, and equity versus those that are draining, taxing—those that make you feel obligated or indebted, emotionally, physically, or energetically. Some refinement around soul contracts is a critical part of Saturn in the eighth house. It's also about loss and letting go of various attachments, forming new ones, and letting others go.
And sometimes this may even be about, you know, Saturn in the eighth, for example, is not uncommon to see a grandparent pass away, or that we have to relinquish attachments to other souls because they leave our lives—not just literally in death, but figuratively as in certain relationships are ready to be dissolved. And Saturn brings a kind of grieving and mourning, as well as a refined sense of what new kinds of relationships we might need moving forward.
Well, it's a little similar when we put Virgo on the ascendant and Saturn in Pisces is in the seventh house. This change of direction reflects a shift in the ongoing story of Saturn working through your house of love and relationships. In this place, we are seeing an emphasis on the need for serious, connected, committed, mature relationships—love and intimacy, even deep personal friendships or people that we work with, and other kinds of partnerships, like business.
Saturn here says if it's not working, we need to take a hard look at why it's not working, what exactly isn't working, and do the hard work of separating ourselves and saying, "I cannot work with you. I cannot be with you. I cannot be in this kind of relationship." And so either the relationship changes, it evolves, and its structure shifts so that it can accommodate your own needs, or the other person's needs, or some mediation of the two—or the dynamic shifts, and effectively, it has to end.
Saturn in the seventh is also about the maturation of the people that we are with. It's not uncommon to see Saturn in the seventh reflecting in the lives of our partners and the trials, the learning, the growth, the maturation that a partner or loved one is going through, which may have a direct impact on us, but may really be more about them and their own process.
Saturn in the seventh is also about great endings. Periods of Saturn in the seventh is in the setting place where the sun sets. So, a setting Saturn in the seventh house is about those kinds of wintry endings. It's about things that are faded and inevitable, that have to be dealt with and reconciled. Saturn in the setting place is a bit like saying that all things that are full will eventually be emptied. And so just regardless of the topic of relationships, any planet in the setting place can also just bring things to completion or resolution. And with Saturn, those completions and resolutions may bring greater social merit.
For example, I've seen Saturn in the seventh house many times speaking to people finishing projects or finishing a PhD, where that sense of mature, completed work is emphasized by Saturn in the seventh. Also, just again, thinking about the ongoing theme of maturation and love and relationships.
All right, let's go on to Libra. With Libra, we see Saturn going into the sixth house, which is a place of service, sacrifice, sometimes slavery, a feeling of hard work, and sometimes a feeling of drudgery—things that we have to do, that are hard to do, that we don't want to do, but we are somehow bound to do, as well as all the hard things we have to do in order to build something or develop something, that it's just a reality.
You know, it's like, if you want to get good at an instrument, you practice. If you want to build a business, you do a lot of work. So the sixth house is a place of ongoing sacrifice, work, and labor.
Saturn in the fourth house can also be about spiritual mysteries. The fourth house was the original house associated with the occult, the occult things that could not be seen, esoteric truths that were hidden, and the deeper mystical experiences in life. The fourth house was like the 12th and the eighth connected with moksha. So the fourth house, even though it has this mundane connection to things like home and family, is also connected to things like mysticism.
Saturn and Pisces in the fourth can be a deeply mystical planet, though the mystical and spiritual transformation is often paired with things that are happening on a mundane level with respect to home, property, and living environment, or parents and family karma generally. So watch for that as Saturn moves through the fourth.
For Capricorns, Saturn is in the third house. Now, one thing that I love about the third house is how much of the third house has to do with the everyday psychic, emotional, mental environment that we live in. And for Capricorns, the question for Saturn in the third might be, how can I bring more structure? How can I bring more of a serious, grounded quality, both emotionally and mentally, into my life?
For Capricorns, Saturn and Pisces are, by the way, Saturn's ruling planet. So Saturn in the third can be about how do I create earthy, grounded, realistic, hardworking discipline? Capricorns, how can I bring a balance between those qualities and greater emotional awareness, greater emotional sensitivity, a depth of sentiment, or even a kind of romantic quality? How can I bring those things into my environment, or who or what have been bringing those things into my environment? How have they been enhancing my life?
Saturn in the third is also about the potential to curb our, let's call it, restlessness of mind. The third house has a very individual, free-thinking quality to it. The ninth house, for example, opposite, is often associated with doctrines, dogmas, laws, rules, structures of thought, mind, philosophy, actual laws of the legal system. The third house Saturn has to do with independent-mindedness and the rejection of systems or structures that tell us how to think in favor of being my own independent, separate thinker.
And so for some Capricorns, the need to be your own thinker, to have your own thoughts, to have better emotional boundaries, to have a connection between groundedness and your own emotional, subjective experience of life, and to be a free thinker could be one of the great benefits of Saturn in the third house right now.
On the other hand, Saturn in Pisces in the third house can be about what boundaries need to be set up because of who or what in the environment tends to regularly drain me or place a burden on me, energetically, emotionally, mentally, and so forth. This can also bring up karma around things like siblings and people who are like family or who exist around us in day-to-day life.
All right, let's move on to Aquarius. Aquarius, we have Saturn in the second house. This is the place of our assets and our resources, money, business, skill development, skill acquisition, anything that we acquire, anything that we develop or cultivate or build, that in time will yield fruit. Saturn in the second is sometimes about a period of feeling sort of dry or, you know, almost like scarcity, or the fear of scarcity, or dealing with what feels like limits around resources.
It can also be about a period of hard work in which we are building or developing greater assets or resources, skills or abilities that will benefit us, but will take time. And so trust that process. If you're in that process, trust it, because Saturn in the second is a great sign for things that are being built through a kind of conscientious, mature, ongoing effort and discipline and that in time will bear fruit.
May not be bearing fruit yet, but will if you just keep going with it. On the other hand, Saturn in the second may be exposing you to what is energetically bankrupt—like what just doesn't work or doesn't fill or doesn't pay or doesn't help, and that kind of negative sense of Saturn in the second can put us in touch with the need for things that really do fuel us, that really do support us, or that really do fill the bank account, or whatever the case might be.
So let's go on to Pisces. Saturn in Pisces in the first house doesn't get more existential than this for Pisces. Saturn in the first is that great process of saying, This is me and this is not me. Saturn in the first is about getting rid of all that is frivolous, that's extra, that isn't necessary. Saturn is the planet of necessity. On the other hand, it will put you in touch with what is absolutely fundamental to who you are and what you need.
So that great process of clarifying your essence, refining your essence, by discarding or cutting away at that which is not you, carrying burdensome things that are also deepening your very soul and psyche. The difficult things we carry are the things that grant us such depth of character—that is a very Saturn in the first house kind of theme. It's also about a process of purging or purifying ourselves on the level of body, mind, health, psychology, emotional well-being.
It can be a heavy place for Saturn. And yet, as this process goes on, there is a sense in which you're being polished and refined. You're becoming wiser and more capable, and you may even be looked at by others as a leader, an elder, or the presence of wisdom or that refinement that may come to you may come to be known by or seen for.
So we'll leave it there. All right. Well, some Saturn in Pisces horoscopes as Saturn turns direct. That direct motion, I may have mentioned, this is happening Friday. So let me just put this back up on the screen once more.
So Saturn's direct motion takes place this Friday. I'll put it back up on the screen: November 15. That's Friday. We're doing these today because we need to focus on the full moon and the sun opposite Uranus. To close the week, the full moon is also Friday. But here you can see Saturn with the S above it, that Saturn stationing to turn direct.
And if we just take this onward a little bit more, that arrow goes away. Here it is by Saturday, November 16. You'll see it's... let's see. You could say Friday into Saturday that it changes directions. And I would just pay attention to what's happening around that time.
So on that note, don't forget the new program starts Saturday. You still have a little bit of time to register, so please take advantage of that. Check out the new reading service, the affordable reading service. Check out the upcoming webinar on Pluto into Aquarius. Don't forget the Kickstarter begins next Monday. I will be trying to rally the support of all of our awesome subscribers to help support this channel. We have an amazing amount of things that go on sale during the Kickstarter that you can pick up when you donate and support the channel.
So more on that soon, and we will see you again tomorrow. Bye, everyone. Bye.
