Saturn Retrograde Is Moving Into Pisces—Here's What It Means For Your Zodiac Sign
In case you missed it, Saturn has been retrograde in fiery Aries since July 13, encouraging all of us to step into our unique personal power and own our desires. But for the next three months, Saturn's backspin launches into the psychic waters of intuitive Pisces—and things will take a more mystical bent.
Depending on where Pisces lands in your chart, however, we'll all be impacted by this transit a bit differently. Here's what to know.
Saturn backspins into Pisces until November 27
Since July 13, according to the AstroTwins, the planet of challenges and responsibility has been in "me-first" Aries—for the first time since the late 90s, no less.
Whenever a planet goes retrograde, this idea is to slow down and pay extra attention to the areas of life associated with that planet. And in the case of Saturn, think structure, discipline, and longterm goals.
As the twins recently wrote for mindbodygreen, this first leg of Saturn retrograde has been prompting us to take a closer look at how we assert our own ambitions, personal power, and leadership. "You might reevaluate your personal brand, a solo project could hit a speedbump, or you could intentionally slow down your timeline for quality’s sake," they add.
But from September 1 until November 27, Saturn spins back into imaginative Pisces—where the lines between reality and dreams can blur.
Pisces can struggle with a few things, like setting emotional and energetic boundaries, as well as seeing life through rose-colored glasses. With heavy-handed Saturn in this whimsical sign, don't expect the rose-colored glasses to stay on.
"If you’ve been swept up in a pipe dream," the twins explain, "Saturn’s reversal will deliver the reality check you need. They do advise against dismissing your dreams entirely, though; "This is also a time to cultivate any spiritual or artistic talents you’ve been exploring."

As the twins put it, you can use this retrograde to "master the basics, refine your skills, and lay a solid foundation before taking things to the next level."
