Fresh off the Sagittarius New Moon and its energies of renewal, we step into a new week as well as a new month. Sagittarius is a fire sign, an element that motivates and inspires. As the archer, we’re preparing our arrows to reach their targets.
Each sign has something for us to discover as the Sun moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac, each new moon a lens into a different facet of life and creation. Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, is a mutable sign, along with Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces — signs that help us to learn and understand.
When we reach Sagittarius, we reach the first sign of the zodiac that is “ruled” by the planet Jupiter. The other sign ruled by Jupiter is Pisces, also a mutable sign as well as the twelfth sign and the last sign of the zodiac. There’s a clue in this, a reminder that the finality of life — Pisces — and the wisdom it hopefully brings is governed by Jupiter.
The finality of life, at least according to the zodiac, which is the Wheel of Life, isn’t money, it isn’t fame, it isn’t power. It’s the discovery and wisdom of Pisces. It’s substance and meaning. It’s compassion and peace.
Pisces has been a bit of a focus for us the past year and a half. If you recall, Saturn has been in Pisces since March 2023, a broader chapter that we will be living through until February 2026. Saturn is quite different from Jupiter. Both teach us to find wisdom and knowledge, both help us to grow, but Saturn’s teaching comes in the form of time, karma, aging, commitment, and responsibility. (Read Saturn in Pisces: The Look Within.)
This week the Sagittarius Sun as well as the energies of the new moon make a square to Saturn in Pisces. We’ve reached a checkpoint with a greater lesson that has been with us since 2023. We have to honor our commitments and the energy of time. We need to be more responsible. We may have a lesson to learn.
Keeping Pisces in mind and its role in the zodiac, ultimately Saturn in Pisces is to learn a deep lesson through the lens of Pisces. Sometimes the hardest thing to learn is peace and compassion. And to build wisdom and knowledge not through intellect but through spirit.
