Saturn, the name that spells Justice, hard work & discipline in astrology is moving signs early next year. Saturn has been in Aquarius sign since 17th January 2023 and is currently posited here. It will move to Pisces sign on 29th March 2025 and stay there till 3rd June 2027. The planet is moving from a sign that was ruled by itself to a sign that is ruled by Jupiter.
However, Saturn’s move to Aries in 2027 is short-lived as it re-enters Pisces on 20th October 2027 in retrograde motion. Saturn’s final movement out of Pisces sign happens on 23rd February 2028 only.
One way or the other, rightly or wrongly, Saturn as a planet has been made into a planet of dread and scare, which is not really required.
Many people who believe in or follow astrology, look at the planet and its transits and natal positions with a mix of anxiety and apprehension. The fear may not be totally misplaced but at the same time, is not necessary also as Saturn is a giver of many things as well, most important of them being Learning, Maturity and Wisdom.
During a Saturn transit, multiple facets of our lives, including career, relationships, health, and overall well-being, may be influenced. This period is often regarded as a time of growth and reflection, as it challenges us to face obstacles and gain meaningful life lessons. Saturn is known to be an extremely effective but a hard disciplinarian teacher.

Pisces represents creativity, empathy, spirituality, intuition and compassion. It also represents dreams and subconscious.

Saturn in Pisces allows for mixing of the grounded and disciplined energies of the planet with that of fluid and imaginative energies of the Pisces sign.
One may see or or many of the folowing manifestations :
