Overview

Saturn in retrograde digs into the Pisces depth, demanding structure, rejecting Pisces’ lack of boundaries. A struggle to define limitations in the eroding environment presents challenges. Capricorn is disposed of by Saturn, while Saturn is disposed of by Neptune in Pisces, a final dispositor (in the sign of rulership). Ships of state are also endangered, leadership under increasing pressures from opponents, stretching the limits of constitutional law. The former president seeking re-election while under indictments also follows this pattern — Saturn in Pisces, makes the attempt to regain status (Saturn retro) as opportunity recedes. Mars in Leo makes the square aspect to Uranus in Taurus, as disagreements are inflamed. Neptune remains in Pisces until April 2025. Saturn resumes direct transit in November 2023, ingress to Aries May 26, 2025, although returns to Pisces for 6 months before its ingress in February 2026. Neptune makes its final exodus from Pisces the same month. For another three years we continue struggling to rescue the cultural and environmental disasters we are facing this quarter-century. It may be a time to go with the flow, as resistance (Saturn), is increasingly counter-productive, as we each struggle to maintain our self-respect and dignity, possibly reaching a re-definition of life goals.
