Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, weaves both materialization and contraction, urging us to embrace responsibility and master essential skills through patience, commitment, and hard work. During its transit through a specific sign, Saturn focuses its tests and challenges on particular themes for an extended period, typically lasting two and a half to three years. While Saturn in Pisces primarily presents emotional and spiritual tests, it also manifests in our everyday lives.
Whether you’re a leader, business owner, or an avid seeker of growth, gaining awareness of these manifestations can profoundly impact your long-term plans and infuse meaning and purpose into your personal journey. As we continue our exploration of Saturn in Pisces, this blog delves into the myriad manifestations of this transit, drawing insights from historical events during previous occurrences.
The last times Saturn transited the sign of Pisces were:
As Saturn journeys through the liberating and dissolving waters of Pisces, it will be shaken and morphed, initiating a compulsory chaos that challenges our sense of order. Yet, within this chaos lies the essential flexibility we need to adapt to the emergence of a new world order. This period presents us with both challenges and opportunities, urging us to reevaluate our structures, beliefs, and actions. We have and undoubtedly will continue to navigate the intricate interplay of Saturn’s discipline and Pisces’ intuition. The dissolving power of Pisces may bring to light hidden truths, unveiling deceit, and calling for accountability. On the other hand, Saturn’s authoritative presence may spur authorities to intensify their efforts in combating crime and dishonesty.
We take an in-depth look at how this celestial dance influences various aspects of society and the economy. From politics and governance to environmental issues, chemical industries, energy sectors, drug policies, arts, entertainment, religious dynamics, crime rates, and the role of influencers, the reach and transformative impact of Saturn in Pisces will extend far and wide.
By understanding the potential implications and areas of influence, we equip ourselves to navigate this transformative journey with greater clarity and foresight. Our series on Saturn in Pisces offers a comprehensive exploration, unveiling the profound societal shifts and economic transformations that await us during this significant transit. Together, let us embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by Saturn in Pisces, and chart a course towards a more enlightened and empowered future.
One of the foremost implications of Saturn in Pisces lies in the type of authority we are likely to encounter during this period. In Pisces, Saturn loses its footing, its continuity in time, its certainty. The rules and limits we used to know and define our lives with may no longer apply or work. Saturn being out of its comfort zone, must grapple with Jupiterian challenges such as excesses and overstepping, as well as Neptunian issues, including leaks, toxicity, addictive patterns, and panic-inducing situations. As a result, it is evident that most forms of authority will be confronted with overwhelming circumstances throughout this transit. While the essence of Pisces is to foster an understanding of our interconnectedness within a greater whole, the issues we may have to confront might initially appear daunting and alarming, as the unleashed waves of challenges cannot be easily contained or halted.
Saturn in Pisces usually bring governments, institutions, and corporations to deal with:
During the transit of Saturn in Pisces, the realms of authority, governance, and politics are bound to experience significant shifts and challenges. As the period calls for wiser budgetary control and increased compassion for those in distress, reliance on traditional welfare states and familial support may diminish, leading many to seek alternative solutions, growing resentful and having to form new bonds.
With Neptune currently in Pisces too, our imagination is simply limitless and, in absence of spirituality–the calming and soothing certainty that a greater design exists–our imagination may focus on our state of separation, a state of lack and victimhood. The old will be crumbling and the new will still be difficult to grasp, making it necessary for us to get comfortable with not having all the answers.
As the old structures crumble and the new ones take time to solidify, uncertainty may leave people grappling with unanswered questions and a loss of control, prompting fear and resistance. In this context, the political landscape is poised to evolve, with a greater number of voters feeling victimized and seeking solutions to their grievances. The temptation to find culprits and cling to known power structures may give rise to strong populist movements, providing a temporary outlet for frustration, but potentially hindering real progress. It’s much easier to project our problems onto minorities and find a scapegoat than to seriously adapt our behavior to the situation and trust the process. The examples of the Nazi and Fascist 30s should suffice to prove this.
Historically, such transits have seen left-wing parties like social liberals, democrats, socialists, and communists gain prominence. However, their success was considerably limited if they failed to inspire their base with an ambitious vision worth the sacrifices.
The 30s saw both the election of socialists in France, Spain and Democrats in the US but also the rise of totalitarianism in Germany and Italy. The first introduced a number of key measures in the construction of the Welfare State and Social Security.
The 60s saw the election of Labor in the UK and Democrats in the US, both strongly contributed to remove old barriers and biases in the society while defining new frontiers:
The 90s saw the election of Democrats in the US, Socialists in France, Spain, Italy and Germany and were marked by debt reduction policies, social reforms and investments in health and education, labor reforms, anticorruption measures and devolution of power to regional and local authorities. They also saw the creation of the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and the Schengen Area, the extension of the EU to 27 European countries.
The interplay of Saturn’s discipline and Pisces’ fluidity may give rise to a pendulum-like swing from one extreme to another, with both left-wing and right-wing ideologies gaining momentum at various times. However, amidst this turbulence, a decisive and effective form of government may not emerge until the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries in 2025-26. Until then, we may witness the absence of a clear and decisive majority in many democracies, leading to the formation of unstable and fragile political alliances.
The exhausting nature of this period may prompt voters to seek new and innovative solutions, fostering an appetite for real change and novelty. However, those who claim to be rescuers and promise quick fixes may find themselves exposed and chastised for building their programs on lies, illusions, and chimeras.
The strength and long-term success of political leaders and parties will depend on their ability to forge new and inclusive alliances, breaking down past barriers and embracing a more interconnected approach. Diplomatic landscapes may witness the emergence of brand-new alliances and economic zones, while existing ones may struggle to overcome the remaining barriers that hinder their growth. Nationalist movements could gain traction, voicing their discontent and anger at the perceived limitations imposed by established international arrangements.
Amidst the political turmoil, the cosmic energies urge us to be discerning and mindful of choosing leaders and parties that align with principles of integrity, authenticity, and compassionate governance. It is a time to challenge outdated systems, dissolve divisive barriers, and seek unity and collaboration to address the pressing challenges of our changing world.
As Saturn journeys through Pisces, we witness the end of a political cycle that began in 1996, marking the post-Cold War era and a significant increase in globalization and interdependence. This period saw the rapid rise of China and its impact on the world’s economic growth, the emergence of climate change as a global concern, and the explosion of regional conflicts. As this cycle concludes in 2026, we can already observe substantial changes on multiple fronts, influencing authority, governance, and politics:

Beyond domestic and geopolitical issues, the advent of artificial intelligence presents governments with a vast ocean of possibilities and challenges.
The ethical and legislative complexities associated with AI are too vast for any single government to apprehend adequately. Cooperation and distribution of tasks among governments are essential to prevent being overwhelmed by the unprecedented impact of AI on society.
This historical moment raises questions about the responsible management of AI’s potential consequences, as portrayed in literature by works like “Frankenstein”, “Brave New World”, “Blade Runner”, “The Golem” and others. For memory, the last time Saturn transited in Pisces, scientists and legislators ruled on the future of genetics and cloning, with responsible ethical frameworks in place. As we face the profound implications of AI, we must ponder whether our current political leaders possess the ethics and vision to navigate this uncharted territory. Dolly the Sheep stands as a prominent reminder of the ethical considerations that arose during that period. Fortunately, responsible scientists and legislators acted with caution, adhering to established codes of ethics and prioritizing the long-term well-being of humanity over short-term profits.
As we face this transit anew, it is only natural to wonder if we will be as fortunate again. Will the current state of politics and governance reflect the same level of ethics and responsibility? The fluid and dissolving nature of Pisces can present both opportunities and challenges. We must remain vigilant against any misuse of power or manipulation for personal or political gain.
Saturn’s authoritative influence calls for strong leadership and ethical decision-making during this transformative period. It compels those in positions of authority to consider the broader implications of their actions and to prioritize the welfare of society as a whole. However, the intoxicating and elusive nature of Pisces can pose a risk, and it becomes imperative for us to demand transparency and accountability from our political leaders.
As we navigate the uncertain waters of this transit, we have an opportunity to collectively advocate for a higher standard of ethical conduct in governance and politics. By remaining informed and engaged, we can influence positive change and encourage our leaders to prioritize long-term sustainability, ethical decision-making, and the well-being of the global community.
Let us not leave the future of our society solely in the hands of chance. Instead, let us work together to shape a world in which responsible governance and ethical leadership are guiding beacons, ensuring that the decisions made during this transit of Saturn in Pisces pave the way for a brighter and more compassionate future.

During the transit of Saturn in Pisces, we can anticipate the return of the El Nino phenomenon, and this year’s ingress in March has been no exception. As the Pacific Ocean’s warmer waters shift and change sides, we are likely to witness a significant increase in precipitation over Asia, leading to extraordinary floods in the region. Simultaneously, other parts of the world will face the effects of intense droughts, rigorous winters, and stronger storms. While this event takes several months to reach its full momentum, we can expect its full strength to manifest from this winter onward, with a peak in natural disasters likely to occur from the summer of 2024 to the summer of 2025, when Saturn will square Jupiter in Gemini three times.
In Europe, the impact of this phenomenon will result in milder winters and wetter conditions in certain areas, while others may face drier and warmer weather patterns. The frequency and intensity of winter storms in some European regions will increase, leading to droughts in certain areas and heavy rainfall and flooding in others. These shifts will have significant implications for agricultural productivity and crop yields, leaving many communities in precarious conditions.
For the USA, the transit of Saturn in Pisces will bring various climate changes, including warmer and wetter conditions along the Gulf Coast and southeastern states, leading to increased rainfall, late freezes and flood risks. On the other hand, the western United States, including California, will experience drier conditions, exacerbating droughts and increasing the likelihood of wildfires. Additionally, a milder Atlantic hurricane activity is expected as the Central and Eastern Pacific basin becomes more active. The agricultural sector will also face challenges, with excessive rainfall hampering planting and harvesting, while droughts negatively impact crop production and the food chain.
Furthermore, with the climate warming currently absorbed by the oceans reaching a saturation point, the melting ice caps, and rising waters may suddenly show an inflection point, signaling an acceleration of climate disruption. While temperatures will continue to rise, new record highs should be expected in 2026 and 2027 when Jupiter is in Leo, with a shift into a mutable sign the year after.
The intensification of storms is also likely to significantly affect ocean freight and air traffic. As a result, the cost of transportation and raw materials may increase, further contributing to the current strong inflation.
One of the darker actions playing out, that we won’t be as privy to during this time, is a solidifying of governmental and corporate control over natural resources, specifically water, and potentially air. We’ve seen the steady rise of the commodification of free vital resources. For decades, politicians and corporations have started to buy land around natural water aquafers. Each year, more water sources are polluted by man-made pesticides and chemicals, forcing the purchase of bottled water. On a small level we’ve seen this with air by entrepreneurs, exploiting the market in China. At larger levels, this could be states, country, regions being able to afford filters for their constituents, with potential disaster if divided by party lines. The boundless nature of air ropes it in with Piscean nature. Air quality can suffer from actions of other countries near and far, with constant higher risks of wildfires in California, Canada, Scandinavia, Siberia, Australia, and Mediterranean countries. It is a problem that demands a collective solution or leaves the survival of a large part of the population in dire straits.
On a positive note, this transit will stimulate greater awareness of the oceans’ role in climate warming, fostering a stronger defense of our common resources, and boosting the development of more sustainable means of long-haul carrier transport. While nature’s harshness during this period will substantially contribute to the global disturbance we are set to experience, it will also serve as a reminder that climate change is our greatest hazard, caused by human activities, and that our only way forward is to unite against this scourge. Before 2026, new treaties and commitments are likely to be signed by many governments, further galvanizing them to act in favor of the preservation and restoration of natural ecosystems. This collective effort and recognition of the urgency of climate action will pave the way for a more sustainable future.
All things within Piscean umbrella under tight scrutinyAll sectors ruled by Pisces, like chemicals, fossil fuels, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, drugs and medicine are likely to see:

During the transit of Saturn in Pisces, our heightened sensitivity and vulnerability to external influences may contribute to a greater dependence on drugs and susceptibility to chemicals. It is crucial to address these issues from a holistic standpoint, recognizing that the roots of such dependencies lie in mental, emotional, and spiritual imbalances. Additionally, increased exposure to urban pollution and emotional toxicity can exacerbate these issues, making it vital to seek comprehensive solutions.
Merely relying on distractions or chemical numbing agents, such as recreational drugs, alcohol, or antidepressants, will only worsen the overall toxicity of our being. Instead, we must recognize that for some individuals, hitting rock bottom might be a necessary step toward realizing the need for sobriety and healing. However, for others, adopting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle can provide a path to severing the bonds with guilt, toxicity, and co-dependency.
Practices such as spirituality, psychology, energy medicine, and astrology can offer valuable tools for self-discovery and healing. Engaging in mindfulness, meditation, and other spiritual practices can provide a deeper understanding of oneself and aid in releasing harmful patterns. Psychological therapies can help uncover and process emotional wounds, enabling personal growth and resilience.
Energy medicine can assist in rebalancing the body’s energy centers, promoting a sense of harmony and well-being. Moreover, astrology can provide valuable insights into our inherent strengths and challenges, helping us navigate the complexities of this transit with greater self-awareness.
As we confront the challenges of this cosmic dance, it is essential to recognize that true healing lies in addressing the root causes of our dependencies and toxic behaviors. Embracing a holistic approach that integrates mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being will empower us to reclaim our inner strength and establish healthier, more sustainable paths forward. The opportunity to seize during this time is breaking free from the chains of addiction and co-dependency, embracing a transformative journey that leads us towards greater clarity, self-empowerment, and authentic healing.
As the transit unfolds, it may shine a light on the environmental impact and ethical practices within these industries and how we support them. Saturn’s influence will demand accountability and responsibility, urging companies to adopt more sustainable and environmentally conscious approaches and us to be more mindful where we reinforce them with where we spend our money.

Arts, Culture & EntertainmentSimilarly ruled by Pisces, the creative & cultural scenes may experience blocks and new achievements, expect:
|
The oil and energy sectors, in particular, may face challenges as Pisces’ dissolving nature brings to the surface issues related to fossil fuels and climate change. We may witness intensified calls for renewable energy solutions and a shift towards greener technologies. This transit could serve as a catalyst for advancements in clean energy sources and the implementation of more environmentally friendly practices.
The chemical industry may also come under scrutiny, prompting the need for stricter regulations and increased transparency in the handling of hazardous materials. This period may mark a turning point for chemical companies to reevaluate their impact on the environment and embrace more responsible practices.
In the realm of drugs and pharmaceuticals, Saturn’s influence may bring attention to issues of drug accessibility, affordability, and ethical considerations. There may be a call for increased research into alternative and holistic healing methods, as well as a focus on the social and environmental implications of drug production and distribution.
As we navigate this transformative transit, it is essential to recognize that the consequences of these industries’ actions have far-reaching impacts on the planet and humanity. While challenges may arise, this period also presents an opportunity for positive change and conscious decision-making.
Moreover, the transit of Saturn in Pisces coincides with the second Saturn return for several prominent figures in the Russian and Chinese oligarchy, such as Akhmetov, Rybolovlev, Prokhorov, Jack Ma, and Fridman. This return signifies a time of personal reflection and reassessment of their role in society. They may face difficulties or challenges, prompting a deeper examination of their values and responsibilities. As a result, they may choose to take on a more purposeful and socially conscious role, contributing to the betterment of their communities and the world at large
The period is very often marked by:
Just looking back at the last transit of Saturn in Pisces, the examples abound:
Sathya Sai Baba, Baghwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho), Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Muktananda, Yogi Bhajan, Krishnamurti Foundation and even the Dalai Lama and mother Theresa all faced controversy and allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement, fraud, immigration violations, and even bioterrorism during this transit.
As evidenced by the Second Vatican Council during the previous transit of Saturn in Pisces from 1961 to 1965, this transit can inspire positive change and modernization within religious institutions. The Council’s reforms in liturgy, language, and comprehensive outreach challenged traditional practices and beliefs, fostering unity among Christians and promoting religious freedom.
However, it is crucial to recognize that this transit also carries a cautionary note, as highlighted by recent events involving spiritual leaders. The controversial video of the Dalai Lama and the health challenges faced by Pope Francis serve as teasers of what may unfold over the next three years. Such occurrences are a reminder of the need for increased mindfulness when leading or supporting spiritual communities during this time.
Saturn in Pisces may attract vulnerable individuals seeking solace or salvation, potentially leading them to relinquish important boundaries in their search for guidance. As leaders and members of spiritual communities, strong ethics and discernment will be paramount to safeguarding against exploitative dynamics.
Gratefulness, faith, and regular spiritual practice will be essential for maintaining grounding and focus during these turbulent times. Nurturing mysticism and a sense of connection can provide solace and strength amidst the chaos that Saturn in Pisces may bring.
However, leaders must remain vigilant against the allure of power and devotion that may accompany their position. The spiritual influence gained from this transit may expose them to karmic temptations that demand utmost ethical integrity to avoid dire consequences.
In essence, Saturn in Pisces is an invitation to find order within chaos, and it calls for self-discipline and ethical behavior. As we navigate the spiritual terrain of this transit, embrace the transformative potential it offers while remaining steadfast in your commitment to fostering a compassionate and inclusive spiritual community. By staying true to our principles and values, we can collectively create a world in which spirituality serves as a guiding light, promoting growth, understanding, and unity.
During Saturn’s transit in Pisces, the alignment of discipline, spirituality, and intuition creates a significant backdrop for exploring themes related to crime, deceit, and imprisonment. The paradoxical nature of this transit may indeed bring to light a surge in covert activities, influenced by Neptune’s illusory and deceptive energies. As individuals find themselves facing the consequences of their past actions, Saturn demands accountability and integrity in their behavior. If dissociation was a prime coping mechanism in Aquarius, then Saturn in Pisces is likely to force us to face the consequences of that reality. We may now become acutely aware of the emotional and spiritual healing necessitated by the trauma we have endured.
Amidst growing economic challenges crime rates, migratory flux, and addictive behaviors may rapidly soar.
Additionally, the progress of artificial intelligence may empower a new wave of sophisticated scams and cheating devices, requiring heightened vigilance and a mastery in detecting deception.
The watery realm of Pisces, amplifying emotions and intuition, may expose clandestine activities and reveal hidden truths. Saturn’s authoritative presence may also prompt authorities and law enforcement to intensify efforts in combating crime and deceit, leading to significant investigations and revelations.
Historically, the last time Saturn was in Pisces, while we saw the emergence and internationalization of strong crime syndicates, particularly the Russian mafia, governments also took decisive legal action against them such as the Medellin cartel (death of Pablo Escobar in 1993), the arrestation of the Cali Cartel leaders in 1995 as well as many other leaders from the Mexican cartels.
Enron, the biggest corporate fraudsters of all times, also started to use their special purpose entities (SPEs) to hide its debt and losses during this transit.
This period also witnessed the infamous Trial of the Century, involving former American football player O.J. Simpson–who was accused of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman–inviting us to look beyond the perfect image celebrities have skillfully manufactured.
The heightened spiritual sensitivity of this transit may inspire influencers and leaders to champion truth, justice, and compassion. They may utilize their platforms to shed light on wrongdoing and strive to dismantle systems that perpetuate dishonesty and manipulation.
On the other hand, the deceptive influence of Neptune in Pisces may lead some influencers to misuse their power, manipulating their followers for personal gain. However, when they do so, Saturn’s presence demands that they face the consequences of their actions, encouraging transparency and authenticity.
In light of these potential scenarios, it becomes vital for individuals to exercise discernment and remain vigilant against deception and false narratives. This transit presents an opportunity to confront and address deceitful practices, fostering a collective commitment to truth, justice, and ethical behavior in our evolving world.
