Man, so this whole Saturn in Pisces thing, from 2023 right through to 2026, it’s been quite a ride. I remember when I first started really paying attention to these planetary movements, it was more of a casual thing. Like, you see a bit here, read a bit there, and nod along. But then, as 2023 approached, people really started talking about Saturn moving into Pisces, and something just clicked for me. I decided then and there, I was gonna properly track this one, not just as some abstract idea, but as a real, personal experiment.
I kicked it off by first just getting myself a good ephemeris. Nothing fancy, just a simple one I could mark up. I pulled out my old trusty planner, you know, the physical kind, and I started drawing little symbols for Saturn and Pisces on the key dates. First thing I did was just note down the entry date, clear as day. Then I started scanning for the retrogrades and direct stations. I wasn’t just looking at the dates; I was really thinking, “Okay, Saturn, what’s he gonna do in this watery, dreamy sign?”
My daily process really changed. Instead of just rushing through my mornings, I started taking ten, fifteen minutes to just sit with my coffee and that planner. I’d glance at the sky, literally just look up, and then I’d look at my notes. I wasn’t trying to predict anything, mind you. That’s not my style. What I wanted to do was more like this: I’d jot down how I was feeling, any specific worries or big ideas bubbling up, and then later, sometimes weeks later, I’d connect it back to what Saturn was doing. It was a lot of just observing my own mental landscape.
There was this period early on, I think it was late ’23, early ’24, where I just felt this huge push to clear out old stuff. Not just physical clutter, though there was plenty of that, but old habits, old ways of thinking. I found myself really digging deep into some old anxieties I thought I’d buried. And I’d write it all down. Like, “Today I felt this heavy sense of something unfinished,” or “Managed to finally let go of that old grudge.” I literally wrote those sentences in my journal. It felt like Saturn was making me confront all the murky bits in my subconscious that I usually just let float by. It wasn’t always fun, believe me. Some days, it felt like wading through mud.
Then came the retrogrades. Oh boy. Those were interesting. When Saturn went retrograde, it always felt like a pause, a forced reflection. I remember one specific time, I think it was summer of ’24, I was trying to push through a new creative project, something pretty abstract. And everything just stalled. It was like hitting a wall. I felt so frustrated. But then I looked at my ephemeris, saw Saturn doing its backward dance, and I just kinda leaned into it. I stopped trying to force things and instead spent that time just refining, reviewing, dreaming up even bigger possibilities. It completely changed my approach. I even noted down, “Let go of the reins today. Just observe.”
Over time, as I continued this, my records became a mix of personal notes, little doodles, and even just single words that captured the day’s vibe. I wasn’t trying to be an astrologer; I was just a dude tracking my own journey through a cosmic lens. I noticed patterns. Like, whenever Saturn made a strong aspect to something in my personal chart, I could almost feel it coming. Not in a scary way, just a sense of, “Okay, here’s where the rubber meets the road again.” It always brought some kind of reality check, a necessity to prune or simplify something.
Now, moving deeper into 2025 and looking towards 2026, I’m still at it. The energy feels different. It’s less about the initial shock and more about solidifying the changes. I’m actually seeing the fruits of all that clearing out and confronting from earlier. It’s like I laid the groundwork, and now I’m building on a much firmer foundation. I keep a smaller, more focused set of notes these days. Less about the struggle, more about the consolidation. I’m thinking about what the next big planetary shift will mean, but for now, I’m still just walking with Saturn in Pisces, collecting my thoughts, watching the world, and honestly, just feeling a bit more grounded than I ever did before I started this whole journey.
