Transit Talk: Saturn In Pisces for all Rising Signs

When free-flowing Pisces meets diligent Saturn we are in for a whirlpool of distractions and responsibilities clashing in a way that helps us realize the true beauty of organized chaos.

The motto of this transit is "controlled expansion through productive curiosity" as Saturn helps us reign in the energies of the House that Pisces rules in our chart. Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune and therefore always wants to expand and transcend boundaries and limitations, Saturn, in turn, is the ultimate essence of material constriction. As Pisces is a mutable water sign it is not impossible to influence and direct our Pisces-ruled energies in a way that leads to constructive creativity.

Saturn moves into Pisces on March 7th, 2023, and will remain there until May 2025, at which point it will dip into Aries but will return to Pisces via a retrograde in September 2025 until it finally leaves Pisces in February 2026. So this transit will roughly last 3 years.

Listed below are the challenges and focus points that Saturn will ask of each of the rising signs. Because this is a long-term transit I recommend writing the "Focus on" portion on a post-it note and sticking it somewhere you can be regularly reminded.

Check out the reminder to all rising signs at the end of this post.

Pisces Rising

1st House - Identity in Action

Challenges: Skating by on your endearing charms won't work during this transit. Your elusive nature is being challenged to commit to a new form.

Focus on habits and actions that center intentional expression of who you aim to be.

Aquarius Rising

2nd House - Material Security

Challenges: Emotional spending will have consequences and validation through material sources will be limited. You will be asked to take responsibility for your possessions and being too flighty with your income will become a liability you won't want to take on.

Focus on maintaining a sense of security independent from material ebb and flow. Bring awareness to your spending and income to regulate any fluctuation but keep your bank balances and your self-worth separate.

Capricorn Rising

3rd House - Learning in Intellectual and Social Spheres

Challenges: Anything you say can and will be held against you. Blowback will be swift if you are careless with your words. Your immediate community may feel like it's becoming too small.

Focus on directing your need for expression into constructive outlets. Take time to process before you speak. Look for productive ways to expand your immediate community.

Sagittarius Rising

4th House - Action on an Emotional and Soul Level

Challenges: People and places you consider safe spaces may start to feel constricting. You may move to a new home or decide to rearrange your space to better suit your needs.

Focus on creating an environment in which you can safely explore yourself and your emotional needs. Give your family and friends time to adjust to changes that are emerging within you.

Scorpio Rising

5th House - Search for Security through Identity

Challenges: Inconsistency in your creative endeavors will lead to inconsistent results. Overidentifying with what you create, your children, your business, or your romantic partner takes away from your own experience of pleasure.

Focus on creating in a regulated setting to allow your creativity and devotion to flow consistently without getting "backed up". A balance between pleasure and productivity is key.

Libra Rising

6th House - Learning through Immediate Material Experience

Challenges: Lack of structure in your day-to-day life invites a domino effect of chaos. Your job may require more focused attention than before.

Focus on healthy routines that keep your physical health a priority and implement fail-safe habits that are easy to fall back into should you get distracted. Dedication will pay off, whether at the gym or at work.

Virgo Rising

7th House - Action on a Social Level

Challenges: Not everyone has your best interest at heart and this time may show you that there are people that will unapologetically take as long as you are willing to give.

Focus on setting healthy boundaries that prioritize your emotional needs and communicate those boundaries clearly in all relationships but especially while dating. You set the bar.

Leo Rising

8th House - Emotional and Soul Security

Challenges: Leaks will appear. You will run into experiences where it is evident that you are leaking power, sexual autonomy, or money. You may find yourself giving more than you should.

Focus on bringing awareness to all the areas where you have debts. Whether financial or social you need to watch out for interest charges. Keep your books balanced and check where you can consolidate debts. Make sure you aren't giving your power away in relationships.

Cancer Rising

9th House - Learning on an Identity Level

Challenges: You may be pushed out of your comfort zone via travel for work, a graduation process, or a major move. You might have to apply something you previously only encountered in theory and learn that the real-world application is different from what you expected.

Focus on being open to new perspectives and methods of expansion. You are bound to learn in ways that are foreign to you. It's best to keep a beginner's mind and not limit yourself by gripping to old structures too tightly.

Gemini Rising

10th House - Action on a Material Level

Challenges: Hyperfixiating on the pressure of having to prove yourself to others can lead to a paralyzing feeling of stage fright. You may gain responsibilities in your career or any other public sphere.

Focus on your natural ability to navigate high-stress situations with your laser-sharp intuition. Repetition (practice) helps you get comfortable in choppy waters.

Taurus Rising

11th House - Social & Intellectual Security

Challenges: You may feel like a sudden outcast in your usual social circles. Feeling misunderstood may lead you to isolate yourself and you'll struggle to reconnect. Your visions of what support and resonance look and feel like are changing.

Focus on group settings where you know you are valued, every crowd is not for you but when it fits you create beautiful positive ripples. Do not compromise your values to fit into something that doesn't hold space for your unique ambitions.

Aries Rising

12th House - Learning on an Emotional and Soul Level

Challenges: Distractions and vices that used to pacify your mental health may not have the same soothing effect on you anymore leaving you grasping for new solutions.

Focus on integrating and actively processing all the experiences and lessons that you have encountered in the past to help you understand how they have shaped a new expression of yourself that is preparing to emerge.

All Rising Signs:

This transit isn't meant to break you, it's meant to empower you through awareness and structure so you can fully embrace your creative potential.
