Saturn, known as the dream-crushing planet of structure and limits, is going direct in Pisces on November 15. Associated with endings, limitations, tough love, and wisdom, Saturn is named for the Roman god of time, agriculture, and renewal. As it turns direct in Pisces, it asks us to reflect on the lies we’ve told ourselves and the shortcuts we’ve taken.
Saturn has been retrograding in Pisces since June 29, allowing us to turn inward and understand the limitations we’ve placed on ourselves better. This period of introspection is colored by issues of mental health, spirituality, and our perception of reality. It is a time to reflect on the falsehoods we’ve embraced and the distractions we’ve used to avoid facing reality.
As Saturn goes direct in Pisces, it encourages us to acknowledge the truth of who we are and what we’re made of. This can be a time of sobering revelations for those who have been complacent or unwilling to do the work needed for growth. Saturn wants us to commit fully to our dreams and make them a more achievable reality by working hard and believing in ourselves.
While Pisces is a sign that benefits from structure, it can also be prone to distraction and confusion. Saturn going direct in Pisces helps us acknowledge and address our shortcomings and coping mechanisms so that we can build a better future for ourselves. By setting strong boundaries and taking responsibility for our potential, we can avoid emptying ourselves into others to avoid facing our own challenges.
Saturn teaches us how to take strategic action, while Pisces reminds us that the greatest rewards are often immaterial – love, connection, dedication, and inspiration. Together, these energies help us build a future that is both workable and wondrous. For those with mutable signs such as Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, the effects of Saturn’s direct motion will be felt most significantly, depending on the house ruled by Pisces in your birth chart.
