The Themes of Saturn in Pisces
 |
| Chronos, Lord of Time, by Romanelli 1 |
When Saturn transited Aquarius, there were social restrictions, and separation was the norm because of fear of contagion, also control of society and of social communications. The typical Saturn work is through fear, contraction, restrictions, separation, and much discipline. However, those might be necessary in some cases to ensure giving form, stability and security to the themes associated with the Sign. At the collective level, there is often the lower manifestation of its influence, with some exception to the norm demonstrated by communities and individuals who vibrate their energy at a higher level.
Pisces is the Sign that completely lacks form in the sense associated with material reality. Its forms are ethereal, spacey, shapeless, limitless, and timeless. Pisces relates to the essential reality, the basic energy that is present in everything everywhere, indestructible, whence everything starts, where everything ends. Since he is the Lord of Time and Space, when Saturn comes here, he is not comfortable. The Piscean emotional ocean rises up submerging the mountain, like the Great Deluge. In this illustration, the mountain also represents the containment of the emotional ocean.
One of the jobs of Saturn in Pisces is to give some kind of form to emotional expression. The way he does it is through new kinds of art, music, film and other types of performance.
Then, Saturn can affect the subtle emotions of Pisces by giving a sense of discomfort for them. This could inhibit your emotional body. An overwhelming emotional 'invasion' is burdensome. You would try to repress emotions, limit or entirely block any expression of feelings. This could be so unbearable that you may block a compassionate response and may not be able to show kindness.
Those unnatural reactions could be associated to significant collective events, or due to personal situations as a consequence of the world events. Those could push people to isolation due to lack of emotional release or support. I vividly remember my personal experience last time Saturn was in Pisces between 1994-1996. I had too many tears to cry and there was nothing we could do about it to receive some comfort, so I had to do with it. When Pisces is activated often brings an unavoidable essential oceanic reality. Saturn has always a lesson to teach, and in Pisces, you're learning how to deal with your vulnerable side, with your emotional body. You could have to sacrifice your ambitions, your social position and learn how to persist on your goals no matter how hard that could be.
As much as Saturn blocks emotional expression, it also censures any kind of escapism. There could be a wave of cracking down on addictions, drug trafficking, alcohol, pornography and other such activities humans seek to experience relief from emotional overload. There could be a tendency to refuse altering substances, and promote abstinence and sobriety. Instead of escaping, people could strictly hold on to the structures of life for fear of the increasing insecurity coming from the environment or the world. Of course, governments may implement more serious regulations to limit drug traffic or lock up traffickers. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical industry could strengthen its grip on the control of the masses. The building of rehabilitation institutions will possibly be promoted.
Spirituality becomes more serious, while at the same time, the growing lack of faith may draw people out of organized religions even more. Due to the mutable duality of the Sign, the manifestation could reach opposite points. The New Age movements of spiritual practices may prescribe rituals in order to have tangible experience. Metaphysical disciplines are subject to purification, and may start being regulated in some way, in order to eliminate anything that is not authentic. Certain charity or compassionate service organizations may be restructured, and new ones may be built in order to fulfill humanitarian objectives. Given the discredit they have undergone in the last few decades, church organizations keep losing physical property, selling buildings in order to recover assets. On the other hand, hospitals, monasteries and ashrams may see the light of day as well.
As Humanity starts to understand their importance for the survival on Earth, oceans might start to be cleaned in an organized way. There will be constructions to block or enclose the rising seas, but with the same token, ramparts could also break and structures be submerged. As entire ancient cities lie underwater since millennia ago, today low coastal cities could also be completely covered by the rising ocean in the near future (2023-2025), especially considering the presence of Neptune in the decan of Mars and Pluto.

Saturn dislikes the Pisces lack of boundaries, so there will circumstances calling to more precisely define boundaries. Around the world, private individuals, corporations and governments try to draw more effective boundaries of different kinds. Borders between countries could become blurry and originate disputes. They may argue about maritime boundaries issues, especially related to fishing rights.
Massive migrations of people are already the order of the day (Jupiter Neptune conjunction), and will need institutional humanitarian structures to contain them and assimilate them. The update and even upgrade of immigration policies and procedures should see the support of those countries receiving the bulk of the migrants. Expect that new rules are put in place to deal with this current issue.
Saturn on the Virgo Pisces axis of health and healing could bring about the restructuring of healthcare, hopefully making it available and affordable to all. In any case, Saturn could bring regulations for and promote the patent of vaccines and new medicines. You may see the strengthening of global institutions and organizations that control, impose and enforce healthcare rules.
At a personal level, because of the mutable and dual nature of Pisces, in that zodiac house of your chart, you may oscillate between extremes learning about the following
- structure your emotional life, or increase fear and anxiety of the unknown due to collective chaos
- spiritual abnegation, a spirit of sacrifice, or stifle your self-confidence and surrender
- decrease your ambitions, or delay of recognition,
- unconscious fears, or how to make better decisions in that area of experience,
- difficult life experiences help to learn how to manage the themes of the personal Pisces zodiac house,
- how to deal with your sensitivity or repress your emotional vulnerability,
- ignore what is really important for you, or eliminate what is not authentic and find the actual truth,
- either suppress your artistic/creative expression or give it tangible form
- you may swing between obeying the rules, or go with the flow and procrastinate.
Donations are welcome as well.
