Pisces transcend the mind from ordinary to extraordinary. This can include unrealistic expectations and feelings of invincibility through copious thrills. An unaware Pisces can be led by their complex impulses. There is a need to escape the reality of life and want to live in a perfect world! But in a perfect world according to who’s beliefs is the question! The water sign is hard to mobilize.

History of Saturn in Pisces
One of the last times Saturn was in Pisces is from May 1993 to April 1996. Globally, there were many earthquakes and a tsunami in Japan. The first multi-national election led to Nelson Mandela becoming the President of South Africa. Java Programming Language was released. EBay was founded and people started making money selling things from home! Princess Diana and Prince Charles got divorced, and the fairy tale ending revealed cracks in the Royal family formation.
In Oct 1993, I graduated from college and was ready to start 7 years of architecture school. That wild dream crashed when I travelled to America and my path changed and I endured abuse and humiliation. My life, my body and my spirit disintegrated. What were you doing in this time period?
Saturn in Pisces
Even a bed of roses has thorns. Think landslides, tsunamis, and earthquakes! Now, think of cuddly kittens and hippy power! Now put it all together. This is Saturn in Pisces. On one hand, you have Saturn, the master architect who meticulously builds lasting structures. On the other side, you have nebulous Pisces need for spiritual expression and a panache to live an experimental lifestyle. How does the formless and formed work together? It is like throwing clay on a pottery wheel and hoping something recognizable forms. If you want to make something creative and functional, you will need discipline and dedication to your craft. This is Saturn in Pisces!
Pisces allows you to bring your divine ideas through your mind and body. Saturn will help you ground your ideas into physical manifestation. If you adhere to Saturn’s whims to tame you and steer you away from self-destructive tendencies, you can use logic and practicality to make even the most grandiose projects come to life. If you can imagine it, you can make it happen. If you want it bad enough, shoot for the stars. If you dare to lead with your heart and imagination, you can materialize anything!
On the collective level, there will be a deeper spiritual awakening among people. Outdated structures will slowly break down like crashing waves on a shore. Waves can also polish the stones to become refined and beautiful.
The creative arts and media values begin to shift and sound waves change. There will be an uprising for creative autonomy. It will be interesting to see if TV networks remain as people create more content without large media outlets.
We will see a reckoning of power and holistic healing becomes more mainstream. Clinical therapies seek holistic practices. There will be a rising interest in the magic of plants and their healing properties. You may feel more invested in your own spiritual journey. This energy could make you feel sluggish, tired and foggy at times too.
Saturn governs structures and Pisces awakens you to realms beyond Earth. The collective will be deeply affected by this energy shift, and many will demand changes towards more compassionate living. Will China remains the world polluter or does this country’s structure begin to collapse? Do so called superpowers manipulate systems or will corruption break down governments? Do people start healing their spirits? Do people start to serve others and put self-interest aside?
Saturn likes to reward you for being responsible, learning new life skills and establishing healthy boundaries.Look at your Pisces house cusp in your natal (birth) chart and use the below guide to help you move through this transit with greater awareness.
