On November 28th, Saturn stationed direct in Pisces for the last time - in the final decan, the end of the end of the zodiac.
Saturn is on his way to Aries/the fiery beginning and his exact meeting with dissolving Neptune in February 2026.
Saturn is a middle planet connecting the outer planets - what isn't us - to the inner planets - us. He is the foundation of things. He is the Lord of Karma/time. He represents boundaries and limits, maturity and lines in the sand.
When he stationed direct in Pisces, we had all the inner planets about to move into or through Sagittarius.
They were ALL on a path to square Saturn at the end of the end of the zodiac. Squares are tension/frustration. They DEMAND CHANGE - we must turn the corner on something.
First, we had the square from Mars to Saturn. This was about three weeks ago. ACTION MET CONSEQUENCE (results come in). Maybe our previous efforts were rewarded or maybe our efforts hit a wall. Maybe our enthusiasm discovered its LIMITS and there was some kind of DOING that REVEALED futility or maybe exhaustion.
Then we had the square from the Sun to Saturn. Our identity was TESTED. We were asked to confront roles that have EXPIRED. There might have been a SOBERING moment of real recognition. "Is this who I am or is this who I once NEEDED to be to survive?".
Then we had Venus's square to Saturn last week at the Solstice, maybe making this the most important one. This is when we are feeling whatever this is about. And this could place limits on love/money/beauty. There could be a needed sacrifice or obligation. Saturn isn't punishing Venus/Us. Saturn is protecting our future. He is saying something like - is this really what you value? or if love (and this doesn't have to be romantic love but anything we once loved) requires all this illusion/bullsh*t or self-erasure to survive then do you really want to carry this into the next cycle? Saturn is direct there is no second shot here.
Tomorrow, December 30th, Mercury in Sag squares Saturn.
This is our MEANING checkpoint.
Think about Mercury in Sag, not his favorite place since he/she is the ruler of Sag's polarity sign of Gemini. Sag is all about the forest and Mercury wants to focus on the trees. Mercury in Sag wants big ideas and EXPLANATIONS and optimism and probably some kind of takeaway that MAKES SENSE.
Saturn is standing there in Pisces saying something like - if these words cannot be lived, touched, spoken about plainly, trusted IN THE DARK then they are NOT REAL. Sometimes our explaining/need to explain can become a form of avoidance. We might ask ourselves - what am I avoiding by thinking or talking about THIS?
Keep in mind Mercury in Sag wants to understand the WHOLE STORY. This is where his debilitation shows up because this 'whole story' thing is freaking endless.
And here we are at the ACTUAL END!
So, Saturn in Pisces is asking the mind to STAND DOWN.
This time right now isn't about thinking harder or bigger or more 'positively'. It's about letting meaning/our belief become something simpler, smaller and MORE HONEST. Saturn doesn't need our words to be hopeful - just true.
Instead of asking, "what does this mean?", Saturn asks us to think about "does this still need to mean anything?".
We are being asked to release beliefs and meanings that need constant mental upkeep. If a thought has to be defended/justified or REPEATED to stay alive, then Saturn is quietly closing this chapter.
Every morning, I am just writing a simple sentence - I don't know what comes next and I am still here. What I believed before helped me survive. I am allowed to rest my mind. Etc. This doesn't have to be big stuff or feel finished or even have much of a point. Remember Saturn doesn't need our words to be hopeful or big - just true.
What we don't want to be doing right now, and this is probably why I have found myself not wanting to write as much (plus a writing class that burned me out instead of inspired me which is just what the astro told me would happen but I didn't listen), are things like - consuming too much information, demanding ourselves to feel inspired or to re-frame something AGAIN, explaining our thoughts/beliefs to people who don't need to understand them.
It would make perfect sense for us to be feeling grief or mental fatigue or humbling or even fear because there is this space where certainty used to live and it is being EMPTIED. We need to keep in mind this is a universal process. We are not alone in this even if we are going through something very much alone.
So, we had Mars discovering what couldn’t be sustained. Then the Sun confronted who we no longer are. Venus felt the loss and now Mercury is naming it (or realizing it can’t be named). Planet Earth at the end of 2025 is not an easy space to inhabit.
2026 is going to start with a big January - a crazy number of conjunctions and conjunctions are mergers and beginnings. We are going to have alot of Capricorn and then as we move into Aquarius season we are going to have an Aquarius stellium not seen since 1962 and then Saturn will finally catch up with Neptune at the beginning of the beginning on February 20th during the Eclipses and this is going to be HUGE, so take some time this week.
It will be a good year to have some kind of mindfulness practice and some ways to calm our nervous systems.
I hope something here is helpful.
xo all
