14 July – 28 November 2025
Saturn, the mighty taskmaster and teacher, moves into Retrograde motion in Aries on 14 July and as he has only reached 1 degree of Aries since he changed signs in May, it will not be long until he Retrogrades all the way back into Pisces once again, from 2 September until 28 November 2025.
Let me break this down for you. Saturn moved into Aries in May after spending 3 years in Pisces. Whilst he was in Pisces, he was helping us to understand the importance of discipline and focus if we are to achieve our dreams. He made us very aware of what we really want from life, but as he was under the influence of illusional Pisces, it was not easy to put our dreams and fantasies into order or to do a lot with them. Now that he has moved into Aries this changes completely because Aries is the energy of action, motivation and getting s*#@ done.
So, now that he has moved into Aries, we get to take all those dreams, fantasies and ideas we have been playing around with and create a solid and reliable structure for these things to be birthed from. In Aries we take charge, we take the lead and we stand on our own two feet. Saturn in Aries teaches us about self-empowerment and how if you want to something to work or go somewhere in your life, then YOU have to take responsibility for it and take steps to put it into action.
Retrograde periods are essential to us all as they give us that much needed time and space to re-assess and re-evaluate what we are working on or where we are going. So, when we look at Saturn Retrograde in Aries it’s about going within to look at what we wish to achieve or do, and seeing whether we have the essential and imperative foundations for it to stand on and then evolve from. If we don’t have a solid foundation to work from, our dreams and efforts can all come crashing down and can continue to flounder and see-saw no matter how much work we put in later. Therefore, this Retrograde period is our first opportunity since Saturn entered Aries to see what needs to be done to bring our dreams to life; what may be missing that we have overlooked; whether what we want inside of ourselves is aligned with what we are putting out there, and to make sure those essential foundations are secure, solid and that they can last the distance.
Now once Saturn retrogrades all the way back into Pisces from 29 September until 28 November 2025 we can go back to the dream – back to the fantasy, idea or concept that is based on what YOU really want from your life at this time. This period will give us time to re-assess that dream or goal to make sure that it is aligned with what we want moving forward, but to most importantly be sure that it is what we truly want – and not just a pipe dream or an old goal that no longer inspires us, or whether it is still in our best interests. A good way to know if something is meant for you or not, or if something in your mind is part of your destiny, is to be aware of how many times this thought or fantasy has entered your mind, over your entire lifetime. You see you choose your life before you are born and throughout your life you will have many many dreams, fantasies, ideas thoughts etc that inspire you. And some of these thoughts or ideas may have lasted a month or two, and some only an hour or two. BUT there are some thoughts and ideas that have ALWAYS been with you and that pop into your mind on a regular basis. These thoughts and ideas are the ones that you are meant to do something with and the fact that they keep coming back to you is because Spirit is reminding that they are part of your destiny and that you need to do something with them.
Pisces energy is a very creative and spiritual energy and it also is the energy that carries our highest values and so when we align with this energy, we can know that we are doing what we are called to do and that we are doing so for the highest good of all concerned. But it’s a water energy so it can ebb and flow and it can be dark and discoloured as well as fresh and clear and so anything that is under this influence needs to be investigated and explored so you can be 100% sure that this is what you want and the direction you wish to move in.
So, while Saturn is retrograding back through Pisces have another look and feel into what it is you are working on or wanting to manifest and see what part of your plan might be missing or need some more work and attention. Use this time to see what else you can add or develop and what higher energies you can bring in to make it even more powerful. Use the power of mediation, automatic writing, channelling, Oracle & Tarot cards, whatever tools you have, work on these as they will bring you the deeper content and magic you may be looking for to take your dream to the next level – once Saturn moves Direct again.
Once Saturn has finished his retrograde journey through Pisces he will then move Direct in Pisces from 29 November 2025 until 13 February 2026 before he moves forward into Aries once again on 14 February 2026. This means that not only will we get the chance to re-asses what we really want moving forward, we also get to see how we can make this more grounded and “real” by using the Direct energy of Saturn in Pisces to try our new concepts out and see if they will work in the outside world.
Once Saturn moves back into Aries from 14 February 2026 until 13 April 2028, he will every year embark on his retrograde journey but he will remain in Aries during this whole time.
We cannot really discuss Saturn in Aries over the next couple of years without bringing Neptune in Aries into the pictures as well as these two will be conjuncting one another for quite some time both in Direct motion and Retrograde motion. Neptune is the higher ideal; the fantasy; highest way of looking at things and the overall spiritual meaning of things and so he is holding tight to our dreams and fantasies while Saturn whips them into shape and structure for us. Neptune will also be moving into Retrograde motion between July and December this year and similar to Saturn will also retrograde back into Pisces for some time before moving back into Aries again and I will write a Blog Post regarding this transit separately.
All in all, the most important thing about this Retrograde of Saturn and his final dip into Pisces for the next 30 years is that he is giving us all one more chance to really know and then work on what YOU TRULY WANT. So, use this time to explore what is important to you and visualise all that you want it to look like and be, and put that visualisation out there to the Universe so it can play its part in getting you there. And remember, Saturn may be the harsh taskmaster but he can be our greatest rewarder as well, if we give him what he demands and that is; hard work, discipline and focus. So, focus on your dreams, work hard at making them real and discipline yourself to stay on track and be ready to step into your destiny.
