Saturn in Pisces for your Rising Sign
On the 7th March 2023 Saturn moves into Pisces - the sign of the sensitive dreamer. Being the last sign of the zodiac, in a way we can think of this particular transit as a "collective" Saturn return, as Pisces embodies karmic endings and a rite of passage as we prepare for a new beginning and a fresh start as Saturn crosses the world axis at 0 Aries.
In astrology, Saturn is the archetype of mastery, ambition, karma, duty and discipline. As the ruler of a practical and responsible earth sign (Capricorn), its purpose and function can seem at complete odds with the archetype and essence of Pisces and it's more free-flowing nature.
Saturn requires commitment, dedication and stamina, whereas Pisces tends to be adrift in the ocean - it can be a little wary and avoids commitment in the hope of something better coming along.
This Saturn transit has immense potential to support you in building a firmer foundation in your Pisces realm of life (house), and in making some of those big Neptunian dreams of yours not just a distinct possibility, but a reality - Pisces is an idealist after all! However, this is Saturn we're talking about here, and these "opportunities" won't just land in your lap - you have to be committed to your dreams, and to believe that a mere possibility or intention can become your reality by being focused, disciplined and wise in your time and investments.
You can read below how Saturn in Pisces will be experienced for each Rising Sign (but you can also read for your Sun and Moon too - but your Rising will always be the most aligned for your experiences when reading horoscopes).
