SATURN STATIONING TO RETROGRADE, 07°13′ PISCES (June 17, 2023)

When Saturn slows to a halt like this, you can sense the karmic gunk hanging low…

Whether it ultimately leads us to spiritual self-mastery or plunges us into the pits of existential torment, darkness and despair, a stationing Saturn in Pisces pressures us to come to terms with past hurts, unresolved issues, and face any lingering unfinished business still dragging us down. That’s Saturn – Lord of Karma, laying over us the haunting funk of unfulfilled obligations.

When Saturn slows to a halt, the karmic gunk hangs low. For the next week or two, as it stations to retrograde at 07°13′ on June 17th, we can expect delays, frustration and the obligatory bummer of a summer.

Pisces is the last of the zodiac signs. What it symbolises most is the culmination of all our warped and weirded-out human experiences being laid out before us as we seek to distil their deeper meanings. Saturn, whose role is to crystallise experiences, make them solid and tangible, shows us that sometimes some things are best left alone.

Seems that some things, the more you pick at them and hold them up to scrutiny, the more problematic or nightmarish they get when manifested in the physical world. All our magical thinking, the parallel realities, the redundant escapism to our inner life, all our depressions, superstitious beliefs or irrational behaviour, when whacked by Saturn’s analytic ugly stick, only screws with the emotional vulnerability of Pisces, turning things into a right mess.

So Saturn in Pisces only induces an atmosphere of widespread paranoia or conspiracy fears, where we all start to believe that everyone else is plotting against us – a mindset that leads to collective self-pity and a sense of alienation and being uncared for by others. It’s unfortunate because it only obstructs the deeper magic and spiritual power that Pisces has to offer…

Avoid authorities and belief systems that lay on the guilt trips, sinfulness, insignificance, or meaninglessness, as they will not help nourish soul growth. Use Saturn’s selectivity and common sense to discern which spiritual beliefs you should adopt and who to listen to. Avoid anything that causes excessive guilt or submission to charismatic authorities (gurus), especially if you’ve experienced early-life hardships. If you’re feeling down, best keep to yourself. Maintain inner resilience and don’t get overwhelmed by the suffering of others. Establishing regular quiet time, such as through meditation or artistic pursuits, can help restore energy and maintain spiritual health. If you’re more robust and together, Saturn in Pisces energy can be channelled positively by serving and helping others in grief, particularly those who are struggling, in pain or in mourning. Engaging in charitable activities or volunteering can be rewarding and fulfilling.

As Saturn retrogrades through Pisces, it blesses us with the inner wisdom we need to deal with past mistakes and challenges. Saturn’s determination, combined with Pisces’ ability to manifest dreams, can bring visions to life and heal a troubled world. Staying power is crucial, as is the willingness to face rejection and conflict, but humility is also essential.
