Transiting Saturn in Aries

Saturn just moved into Aries on May 24, 2025, and will be there until September 1, 2025, when he moves back into Pisces until February 13, 2026. Saturn will remain in Aries until he ingresses into Taurus on April 12, 2028. So, what will that look like for the next ~3 years?

Saturn can help you set boundaries or limits. Saturn is related to time and aging. Saturn can bring loneliness. Saturn is slow. Saturn thinks about the long-term and sustainability. Saturn is associated with structure.

Aries are fast, impulsive, and impatient. They want to start new things, but may never finish them. They think about the short-term. They're willing to fight. They're assertive, confident, and independent.

So when Saturn is in Aries, the energies are mismatched. Saturn wants to slow down, and Aries want to go fast. Saturn wants to build sustainable structures and systems, and Aries are impatient and don't always complete projects. Saturn is the wise, older man thinking things through before taking action, and an Aries is like a young nephew eager to take action without thought.

Saturn and Aries are both dry, so there is a tendency for things to crumble and fall apart. There's nothing to hold these two energies together. Structures may collapse, but any left standing will prove sustainable and reliable. Don't be surprised if something you're trying to build breaks down or just is not materializing as expected.

During this time, there might be a tendency to want to jump into commitments without much thought. Slow down. Make a pros and cons list. Do you have the time to reflect and assess before jumping into it?

Be cautious of becoming hyper-independent. Remember that we still need our support system and community, which are essential in times of uncertainty. Do not immediately sever ties. Journal or sleep on it before making any rash decisions.

This could also be a time when more people are dedicating themselves to entrepreneurial pursuits. Finding independence through determination and persistence. Breaking the mold. Setting traditional career paths ablaze.

Now that we've discussed the general vibes, here are some insights for each rising sign, including a tarot card of advice.
