Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Starts March 23. In astrology, Saturn is one of your most important planets. Its position in the sky at the moment of your birth reveals the lessons you were born to learn. It creates an essential framework, a blueprint to follow for success — provided you do the work.
The Saturn Return, a period that runs from age 28-30 and again from age 57-59 is a critical moment in everyone’s lifetime. It not only marks the time when Saturn returns to the place in the sky at the moment of birth, but a symbolic transition and test of life.
After exploring themes of community and connection, systems and networks, Saturn leaves Aquarius for Pisces, a journey to the end of the zodiac and beyond. Over the next three years, we’re searching for meaning, cultivating our spirituality, and learning to let go.
Saturn, the planet of lessons and structure, will spend three years in the sign of Pisces, a sign that seems, at first glance, at odds with Saturn’s hard boundaries. As a result, we’ll have to learn to go beyond the borders of our physical world and into our dreams.
After three years in Aquarius, Saturn changes signs and arrives in Pisces. If Saturn is the big hand on the cosmic clock, then we’re moving into a new hour, one focused on compassion and forgiveness, spirituality and universality.
I remember when I first learned about Saturn. No, not when I was a teenager, obsessively reading over any and every astrology book I could get my hands on. (This was pre-internet.) I mean really learned about Saturn.
Saturn is so much more than the planet of teeth and bones, the planet most famously associated with the Saturn Return. In fact, Saturn is the structure and framework of our lives. It maps out the lessons and even shows us the pathway to success.
Did you know that your life came with a contract? “I promise, throughout the course of my life, to … build relationship … learn about money and value … learn to surrender.” Of course, these are just examples.
Jupiter and Saturn made a historic conjunction on December 21, 2020, beginning not only a 20-year cycle, but ushering in a new era of conjunctions that will occur in the element Air for the next 200 years.
Saturn arrives in Aquarius, the sign of humanity, community, science, and technology. Over the next two years, until March 2023, we’re building new networks. We’re innovating with science and technology. We’re understanding the importance of equity.
Astrology is sometimes quite literal. When Saturn first dipped into Aquarius in March 2020, few astrologers, if any, saw a global pandemic coming. Yet we were suddenly acutely confronted, not only with a world wide crisis, but with Aquarius’s themes of humanity, connection, and disconnection.
Saturn arrives in Aquarius, the sign of society, systems, and networks in December 2020. This marks not only a major change in how we live a certain part of our lives, but a shift in focus. Over the next few years, we’re building new futures and new humanity.
