For Saturn in Aries for your sign, also be sure to read for your Rising Sign:
Aries
(1st house) Neptune only just entered your sign, adding a whole new dimension to your world. This may still only be in its early stages, but as Saturn is also now in Aries it brings this whole new level of possibility, and perhaps a bit of clarity of what that could be. When Saturn enters your sign, as it did last week it is commencing a whole new 29-year cycle of growth, learning and manifesting. For some, it may even feel as if much of your life is ending, or about to. And if that is true, it’s only because certain things are needing to shift and adjust to allow that new beginning to emerge. The lessons of Saturn being in your sign, or the 1st house of your natal chart, depend on realizing what you want from your life, the goals that you would like to achieve, or how you want to be seen in the world. Note that this is not necessarily what other’s expectations are of you. This is about what you know is right for you. This could even feel like you are starting all over from scratch. And if that is the case, it’s to give you the freedom to take hold of the reins of your own life, so that you can lead it where you want it to go. In the process you may break ties, change direction, consolidate plans over the next few years, as you find yourself becoming ever more self-directed and self-disciplined in a way that you are not usually accustomed to.
Taurus
(12th House) Now that Saturn is in Aries, Taurus will be learning about the necessity of letting go of that which you have outgrown, and is no longer relevant to where you are now. You’ve been doing a lot of sorting out over the past few years that Saturn was in Pisces. But it is when Saturn is in Aries that you begin to experience a withdrawal from what once was. As a result, goals, careers, and even dreams can change, as you realize that your life is going through this profound period of transition. It’s not unusual to feel at times like you are losing your bearings in these years. Things seem to fade. As a result a part of you may stand in trepidation, as you are launched into what feels like unknown territory. A part of you may still be clinging to the past of what once was. But really there is no going back once you cross the divide. Saturn in Aries represents an inner shift, a release, a letting go. And the changes that occur in the years that Saturn is here allow you to tie up the loose ends of the life that was in order to allow you to step into the life that will be when Saturn enters Taurus a few years from now. In the mean time, Saturn in Aries asks you to weed out the garden, simplify your life, make room so that new seeds can take root. Pay attention, for with Neptune here as well, your intuition, your dreams, your conscience will serve as guideposts as you move through this liminal pass, while planting seeds of inspiration and potential as you go.
Gemini
(11th House) The Saturn in Pisces years were a time of culmination for Gemini. During this time you may have achieved a certain role, a change of status or your reputation. And now you may be wondering what might be next on the agenda. People sometimes thing of further promoting what they do when Saturn is in this sector of the natal or Solar chart. This is when we network and expand our horizons in order to reach a larger audience. But it can also be a time filled with a lot of questions and perhaps a vague dissatisfaction. This is actually a time of transition for Gemini. A lot of growth has recently taken place, and as a result you could feel as if you have even outgrown certain aspects of your life. The things that you used to enjoy doing no longer satisfy. As a result, friendships and previous affiliations begin to fade, as you go in different directions. In order to do this period well you are being asked to reassess your hopes, aspirations and dreams for the future. It’s like an update. Some things will get lost in the shuffle, but you could also find some old friends returning, old dreams being revisited. Just know that by the time that Saturn leaves this sign, those dreams, people and things that do remain, are likely to be there for the long term. You are resetting your inner gps system, and this is a really smart thing to do right now.
Cancer
(10th House) Saturn entering Aries is a time of culmination for Cancer. No matter what is happening it often brings this feeling that a great deal is being expected of you, and could even involve some sort of change in status. People make serious commitments at these times. You become a parent, a new business owner, you get a new job, you become known for something that you’ve been working on for a really long time, or you get a promotion. We want to be seen as someone who has value. Someone who is worthy of respect. A lot will depend on what you’ve been doing up until this time, but this is when we experience both the rewards and consequences of efforts made throughout the years. But do not be discouraged if you are not happy with the results you are seeing, for this is also your opportunity to turn it all around and show the world what you are capable of achieving, even in the face of extraordinary challenges. And be prepared to work hard and persist. Your role as a leader is being polished. And it’s up to you to step up to the plate, and willingly shoulder whatever new expectations or roles are being place in your lap.
Leo
(9th House) To make the most of the next few years you will want to open yourself up to the idea that there is still so much more to learn. Saturn in Aries asks you to discriminate between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood in a dispassionate and unemotional way. Not unusual to see your beliefs or ideas about things become challenged. As a result people become disenchanted with certain belief systems, false promises, or institutions that are not able to back up platitudes with substance, historical fact or science. Just know that if your ideas are sound and valid for you, they will be able to stand up against even the most vociferous of arguments. This is when you are asked to hone your ideas and beliefs about yourself and the world. This is also when people often get really serious about positioning themselves for the future. This can mean getting that degree, training, experience or certification needed to position yourself in your chosen role or career. Regardless of whether or not you are planning for the future, you will be coming to terms with who you are, what you believe to be right and true, and how you fit into the scheme of things. And this is all going to be quite useful for when Saturn enters Taurus a few years from now, the sign at the very top of your natal or solar chart.
Virgo
(8th House) Saturn entering Aries can imply big changes for Virgo. It often seems during the years that Saturn is in Aries that your life is quite different from what it was when the transit began. For Virgo, Aries is a sign of transformation. It can even bring a closer awareness of our own or other’s mortality, or mark the end of an era. Because of this feeling of something about to happen, we are inclined to want to prepare for the future. This is when people are inclined to write out their Wills, get their insurance in order, re-finance that mortgage, and create a long-term plan. We want to be prepared. Saturn can also throw roadblocks in our way. Certain resources and help seems less available, as we scrabble to make up for the difference. However, this can also be when something that you’ve been working towards for a really long time, finally comes to a grateful end. Or you are given the opportunity to back out of agreements that had become too complicated or unwieldy. And what you learn now about handling investments, planning for the future, and marketing yourself in the world, will benefit you for years to come. Betwixt and between everything else, you’re discovering and defining your value within your community, and that’s a really smart thing to do right now.
Libra
(7th House) Aries is Libra’s relationship sign. Saturn gets really serious about relationships when it is in this sign. Especially your closest ones. This is when the rubber meets the road and things get real. Maybe a little too real. Some people may part, others may more deeply commit, as expectations change, and responsibilities shift. And as Saturn now joins Neptune in this sign you will find greater emphasis being placed on all of your relationships. This can include your closest partners and allies, but it also refers to all of your one-on-one encounters: the people you go to for advice, counsel and guidance; as well as those who come to you for the same. For the last few years that Saturn has been in Pisces, you have been working hard to perfect your skills, and create something substantial that you could offer to others. You may have already gained some sort of recognition. And as a result, certain expectations are being made of you, which requires you to step up to the plate and show the world what you are capable of producing. Just don’t expect any help. It often feels as if we are left to our own devices at these times. Saturn is our teacher, and some of the lessons he bestows in this area of the natal or solar chart are lessons about self-sufficiency and self-reliance. Also know that this too is part of the plan.
Scorpio
(6th House) Now that Saturn has entered Aries, you will find yourself working hard. But with a purpose. The lessons that Saturn brings to Scorpio when it is in Aries are along the lines of self-improvement. For instance, you may find that certain goals for the future are now being clarified. You know what you want to do, but you now want to do it even better. Practice makes perfect, and you will be practicing. A lot. Whether that is under the guidance of someone who has already mastered their art, or further honing your skills through on the job training, this is about taking whatever skills you’ve been working on and making them better. Self-improvement can also include living a healthier life and lifestyle. Overwork, poor eating habits, not getting enough sleep and accumulated stress can all take their toll. If ignored, Saturn will literally force you to change habits and routines, in order to take better care of yourself and your body. As you accommodate to other’s routines and expectations, can feel tedious at times. But making tweaks to your routines, creating healthier habits and managing your time more efficiently can go far towards creating a more sustainable life and lifestyle, while becoming a better version of yourself.
Sagittarius
(5th House) Saturn leaving Pisces can be something of a relief for Sagittarius, as it is inclined to lift some of the stress surrounding home, family, and personal life. You can feel the veil lifting as Saturn moves into Aries, and brings a different set of responsibilities and focus. But in a good way. If you have children, you may see the focus increased there, or perhaps for a much loved pet, or someone else in your care. It can also be a time in which you finally get the funding for a pet project that you would like to see get off the ground. We hone our skills, our art, our vision when Saturn is in this department of the natal or solar chart. And we do so with a sense of purpose. This is when we try to make what we do more personable, more unique, more of a personal statement with your own brand. This is when we take our fun, our art, our hobbies more seriously. Perhaps even make them more than that. Or learn to love what you do, or do what you love. Saturn is a planet of commitment and determination. And if your chosen path is truly meant for you, you find yourself willing to jump over hurdles to make that happen. Saturn always makes us work a little harder. But when it is for something that you are passionate about, and love, it doesn’t quite feel like work, and you could find yourself more willing to invest in improving a skill, a gift, your art, your game, your children and even achieving a personal best.
Capricorn
(4th House) What you learn and/or experience while Saturn is in the sign of Aries, will aid in developing a strong foundation, from which you will then be able to grow up and out into the world. Aries is your foundation sign. It is also when Saturn enters Aries that you are emerging out into the world in order to meet it on its own terms. You have been doing a lot of personal soul searching and growth these past 7 years, and now you are ready to lay down the tracks, and commit in a certain direction. Aries is a sign of new beginnings, and this is perfect for launching yourself out into the world, or building something from the bottom up. But one of the first things Saturn asks of us when it is in this angle of the natal or solar chart, is strategically securing your personal life. Things like home, family, tribe, community, a place where you can grow healthy roots. Making your personal life more secure, more dependable is also a metaphor for taking care of yourself and your inner emotional child. And to believe. This is important. For at this point, when Saturn is in Aries, it is sitting at the very bottom of your natal or solar chart, and there is nowhere for it to go but up. Having those foundations in your life shored up will give you ballast and support, so that you then have the tools to meet whatever challenges may lie ahead. Be like a mountain, and create a firm foundation from which to grow. It will make all the difference later on.
Aquarius
(3rd House) While Saturn has been in Aquarius, and then Pisces, you have been working on your own personal self-development. And now that it is going into Aries it will continue to do so, but with a specific focus on your mind, your psychological and mental well-being, as well as your decision-making processes. Saturn can be serious. And while here, it can almost be too much so! It’s like the world is going to hell in a hand basket and you sitting there trying to analyze it, and make sense of it all. Saturn wants you to be reality centered, but not personally invested in the outcomes. Which Saturn and Neptune together in the sign of Aries can invoke at times. Saturn’s lessons for Aquarius when transiting the sign of Aries, are about being willing to look at things as they actually are, without pretense or denial. This is important, because with Neptune here as well it can be difficult to know what is real, and what is merely an illusion, a hope, a fantasy, or a denial. Saturn aims to keep it real, because looking at your life and your circumstances as they are, allows you to make more grown up, practical and adult decisions moving forward, which will continue to benefit you for years to come. This is also when you will become more familiar with your own mind, what you know, and what more you might want or need to know. The skills learned or honed at this time, and the knowledge gained, can aid in keeping you on track with your ultimate goals and true destiny.
Pisces
(2nd House) For the past few years many of you have been working really hard. Perhaps feeling like you’ve been carrying a heavy load. But you were also being confronted with who you are, what you want to do in the foreseeable future, and where you see yourself going from here. Chances are you had to make some adjustments, as well as a few self-discoveries along the way. That could include figuring out what you don’t want, in addition to what you do. Now you are confronted with a few scenarios. One is about focusing in on the most important priorities that are right in front of you right now. And two, figuring out ways to make what you’ve started sustainable and/or affordable. There can sometimes be concerns with finances when Saturn is in this area of the natal or solar chart. But really this is really about investing in yourself, and your own self-worth. This can involve having to make some hard choices or long-term investments. But the end goal is ultimately about proving yourself to yourself, and knowing that you can follow through on your promises and commitments to yourself. The end result is increased confidence, and valuable lessons that will serve you well for years to come.
