Saturn has been swimming through the murky and mystical waters of Pisces from March 7th, 2023 through May 24th, 2025. As the planet of structure, limitations, boundaries, and maturity makes its entrance into fiery, headstrong Aries, we’ll definitely experience a cosmic shift in our Earth School Curriculum.
The vibes? Hot, sexy devotion to accountability, responsibility, and self-mastery. Goddess, yes!
Tell me more about Saturn?
Madi Murphy once described Saturn as the dad who shows up to a loud, sweaty pool party to make sure we’re all wearing our sunscreen and minding our Ps & Qs so no one gets *too* unruly or belligerent.
Traditionally, Saturn’s M.O. is to teach us about self-ownership and accountability through restriction or limitation. It’s the medicine of knowing that your energy and resources are finite (in the 3D realm at least), and that by honoring your limitations, you expand your capacity and allow your energy to regenerate.
Saturn medicine is the heartache of missing your long-distance best friend, but knowing that your relationship is so much more special because of the intention and commitment required to keep the bond strong.
Saturn brings the deep, devotional energy that turns roadblocks into opportunities to explore, expand, and grow beyond what you thought you were capable of.
Are you picking up what I’m putting down?
The Details

So, what happens when you mix Saturn with Aries—a sign that *famously* exhibits courage, enthusiasm, ambition, fire, and a penchant for some f*ck-around-and-find-out impulsivity?
Let’s find out.
Your Saturn in Aries Message
Aries Rising | 1st House of self, identity, body, and new beginnings
Saturn’s stay in your first house is asking you to mature your sense of self and practice confidence as self-care. Who are you when no one else is watching? Who do you want to be known as?
This transit can feel like a glow-up boot camp for your whole identity: your style, your self-concept, your boundaries, even how you move through the world physically. Saturn in Aries wants you to take radical responsibility for your self-expression and personal leadership. No more waiting for permission. It’s time to become the version of you who leads by example—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Taurus Rising | 12th House of hidden sorrows, loss, spiritual retreats and incubators, subconscious, karma
Saturn in Aries is your invitation to rest, reset, and reconnect with the invisible realms. This likely isn’t an “outward” season for you, Taurus rising—it’s a time to clear out the psychic clutter and go inward. You may feel drawn to set boundaries with anything that drains your energy behind the scenes.
This transit can bring a spiritual maturing. Your dreams might be extra vivid, your intuition louder, and your tolerance for bullshit lower than ever. This is a beautiful time to begin (or deepen) spiritual practices that support your nervous system—think: breathwork, therapy, dream journaling, ancestral work, even just a regular “do not disturb” moment in your day. Trust the cocoon.
Gemini Rising | 11th house of good fortune, friends and networks, technology, activism
It’s time to stop waiting for the community you crave, and start creating it. During Saturn in Aries, you may feel drawn to activism and involvement in causes you’re passionate about. Practice strengthening your boundaries as it relates to your friend groups, and see how your energy responds. Notice how your energy expands when you appreciate the things you want that you already have. It’s time to rally your baddies and make good trouble!
Cancer Rising | 10th house of career, public roles, vocation
It’s time to get serious about your vision for your career and work life. How do you really want to be seen and known in the world? As a Cancer rising, you’re motivated by connection, emotional intimacy, and family matters. Explore energy hygiene and empath boundaries to help you expand your capacity for being seen and perceived, without taking on the emotional burdens or projections of other people.
Leo Rising | 9th house of travel, teaching, learning, philosophy, expansion, long-term plans, your thesis, your belief system
Saturn in Aries will urge you to really own your unique authority, leadership edge, and expertise. It’s giving, “’When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready… The teacher will disappear.” (Tao Te Ching)
Reflect on these prompts: Where is imposter syndrome stopping me from showing up and giving the knowledge I have? What beliefs do I have around being an ‘expert,’ and is it time to challenge or question those beliefs?
Virgo Rising | 8th house of collaborations, shared resources, grief, death & rebirth, mental health, healing
Saturn in Aries has something to teach you about your mental health and how you show up in your collaborations (both professional and personal). As you experiment with different types of collaborations, exchanges, and partnerships, notice what feels expansive and what makes you close off. Remember that our triggers are our teachers. The more willing we are to sit with the tender parts of ourselves, the more abundance we’re able to freely give and receive.
P.S. Doing a service exchange or equal value trade with a friend? Slay! We love a barter moment! Don’t forget to set clear expectations and boundaries. An agreement in writing is never a bad idea. 😉
Libra Rising | 7th house of committed partnerships, 1-to-1 relationships, and how these domains are a mirror for our Self
Sweet Libra rising, your love and empathy are so valuable. Saturn in Aries wants you to take stock of the shape and containers of your 1-to-1 relationships. Notice where your freely given compassion and listening ear get distorted into subtle resentments, people-pleasing, or martyr territory. Create your relational boundaries accordingly. It’s time to be the higher standard—do no harm, but take no shit.
Oh, and that situationship? Get ready to clear things up, mama. You know what to do. 😉
Scorpio Rising | 6th house of work and health routines, your work style, service, and habits related to discipline
During Saturn’s time in Aries, you may be drawn to get creative about your work routines or health and movement rituals. You’ll learn that discipline isn’t about force, but about passion and devotion—being a disciple of yourself. Your sovereignty is your guide, meaning now is the time to adjust any dynamics that don’t honor your inherent worth and divine gifts.
In a practical sense, we’re talking about setting defined working hours, getting systems in place for managing your email inbox, joining a coworking space that helps you stay inspired during your workday, and finally hiring the personal trainer you’ve been following on Instagram. Saturn said “bow your head, but move your feet.” It’s glow-up szn!
Sagittarius Rising | 5th house of play, sex, creative projects, children, creation
It’s time for some serious fun! Sagittarius rising, Saturn in Aries is asking you to take your joy seriously. What lights you up? What helps you feel playful, creative, and alive? This is a season of sacred silliness, but also one of structure as you turn your passions into priorities. You may also have a lot to learn from the children in your life during this transit.
Notice if you feel called to bring more intention to your creative work, parenting style, or romantic life. If it drains you, get curious about what might inspire you instead. And if it inspires you, build a container for it. Sustainable joy is the goal.
Capricorn Rising | 4th house of home, family, parents, caregivers, and foundations
Saturn is settling into your 4th house of home and family, inviting you to set boundaries that protect the energy of your home life. Over the next 2 years, you’ll likely be drawn to explore the structures and systems that support you in feeling truly at home within your family and domestic life. It’s giving: aligned chore charts, finally hiring that home organizer, and un-shaming your ADHD pile-ups through gentle rituals that bridge the spiritual and the practical.
As a Capricorn rising, you’re ruled by Saturn! If you stay open to Saturn’s wisdom, you’re bound to enjoy this period of devotion and nurturing.
Aquarius Rising | 3rd house of communications, neighbors, daily routines and rituals
During Saturn in Aries, you’re embarking on a journey of self-mastery and accountability in your communications and daily life. It’s time to be bold in how you use your voice and take radical ownership for how you invest your most valuable resource: your energy and attention.
Now would be a great time for you to double down on your morning journaling practice, refresh your nighttime routine, and pop back into the neighborhood group chat!
Pisces Rising | 2nd house of money, assets, and resources
As Saturn leaves your first house of self, the focus shifts to your second house of cash money, assets, and resources. During this transit, you may be drawn to matters of financial empowerment and money hygiene. Maybe you work with a coach to understand your money mindset on a deeper level, or simply get curious about your boundaries when it comes to spending, saving, earning, and investments.
Your mantra for this transit is: what I appreciate, appreciates. What I focus on expands; I direct my energy accordingly.
Here’s to the lessons and the blessings, baddies.
I cannot wait to see how Saturn in Aries shakes things up for our collective and catapults us right back where we belong: in our personal power. ❤️🔥
