Are we overdue for another retrograde? Are we ready for a visit from our cosmic daddy? (Not the fun kind of daddy, unfortunately.)
Saturn retrograde is upon us. It will appear to move backward in the sky while in Pisces from June 29 to November 15. If that feels like a long time, that’s because Saturn is a slow-moving planet. He requires patience.
In astrology, Saturn governs themes of responsibility, discipline, authority, and structure. His influence is akin to a teacher, mentor, or father. At times, it feels like Saturn imposes rules and boundaries that — while for our own good — can be frustrating to navigate if we’re constantly fighting for control.
When Saturn transits through Pisces, the planet of discipline and structure meets the sign of dreams, intuition, and compassion. This transit combines Saturn’s grounded, practical energy with Pisces’ ethereal, imaginative nature, creating a powerful period of spiritual growth, emotional healing, and creative transformation.
