ST. GEORGE — Along with a full moon in Virgo on Tuesday, Saturn will finally enter Pisces after spending over two years in Aquarius, an energy epitomized by the social restrictions established due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mythologically, Saturn is the God of time and old age. In astrology, Saturn is the great karmic teacher and pulls us back down to Earth to face reality. As part of this reality check, Saturn restricts characteristics of the sign in which it transits. In Aquarius, the sign of friendships, future hopes and technology, Saturn pushed us to socially evolve and develop technological methods of interacting, due to lockdowns that were enforced to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Now, Saturn enters Pisces, the highly spiritual sign that governs the subconscious and dreams, where it will stay until Feb. 13, 2026, excluding a brief period in 2025 when it will enter Aries before retrograding back into Pisces.

Saturn in Pisces will be a time when our beliefs are put to the test, and we’ll be challenged to restructure or reorganize one or more parts of life. Since Pisces also is associated with escapist behaviors, this marks a time when escaping from reality will be more difficult, if not, impossible. If you’ve been living in a dreamland, Saturn is here to wake you up.

On the bright side, some artworks or scientific theories created during this time could see significant longevity that unites people from all corners of Earth.

While some might consider the influence of Saturn harsh, its lessons are intended to push people to master something through hard work and dedication. Those who put in the work will see major payoffs at the end of the transit.

Also happening this week is a full moon in Virgo, which is all about the unvarnished truth and honesty, asking us to remove any false pretensions and show up to the world as we would show up to ourselves in the most authentic fashion.

So what does this mean for your sign? Find out below.

Aries 

For the past two years, Saturn has been challenging you to mature in areas related to the higher vision for your life. Now, Saturn moves into a part of the sky that has to do with non-material connection and the unconscious. The 12th house is the natural house of Pisces, which is going to make the overall energy that much more significant for you, dear Aries. This will be a time when self-destructive habits are revealed, as well as anything you’ve been shoving down or suppressing.

Now is the time to face the stark reality of whatever you’ve been running from catches up to you now. For some, this may be a time when you decide to go to therapy or quit escapist behaviors. Saturn is urging you to learn how to create boundaries, especially around emotions related to empathy or compassion. This could indicate a time of solitude, as you heal areas of life in which you have become a detriment to yourself.

At the brink of this energy, the full moon in Virgo is putting a spotlight on unhealthy habits afflicting your health or daily routine and pushing you to implement healthier habits. A work project could come to a completion.

Taurus

For over two years now, Saturn has been transiting the highest point in your chart, which pushed you to mature in matters of public reputation and career. Now, Saturn moves into a part of the sky that has to do with your dreams and future trajectory. This will be a time when Saturn will be pushing you to streamline your efforts toward a dream that is actually realistic and sustainable.

While some dreams may be dashed and cause disappointment, Saturn is cutting away what won’t work to illuminate the path that’s right for you. This is not a time to retreat into the fantasy of dreams; this is about dreams that are actually tangible and mapping out the practical steps to get there.

The full moon in Virgo lights up your heart and will have you wanting to do something fun or self-expressive, dear Taurus. You may also feel urged to express your deepest emotions to someone you care for.

Gemini

After spending two years challenging your perspective and deepest beliefs, Saturn now enters a part of the sky that for you deals career and public reputation. This will be a pivotal time that will push you to take an honest look at long-term goals, as well as your public persona.

You are going to be asked to put in hard work that will likely have delayed gratification. You may notice increased pressure and responsibilities from bosses or authority figures pushing you to prove yourself, so to speak. If you are not in the right career or industry, you may be pushed out of that career, which opens space to find something more aligned with who you are. There’s also a chance for promotion now or possibly retirement. This is not a time to take risks with your reputation. A father figure could play a major role at this time.

This full moon in Virgo is lighting up a sensitive part of your chart, and a matter related to the home could take center stage.

Cancer

After transiting a place in your chart that has to do with personal transformation, Saturn now enters a part of the sky that has to do with your deepest beliefs and perspective. This is a more gentle placement for Saturn but will challenge you in matters of faith and any superficial thinking will be stripped away. This energy could create limitations around intuitive beliefs and could have you questioning yourself and what you thought you knew more frequently.

For those who practice any type of religious or literary studies, Saturn will be pushing you to refine your skills and go deeper. If you’ve been contemplating a return to school, now is the time to take action. And for those already in school, this will be a time when you are required to put in a considerable amount of effort. But don’t worry. Remember, Saturn blesses hard work.

This full moon in Virgo is asking you to find a balance between wanting to escape and needing to handle mundane matters.

Leo

After spending the last two years in your house of partnerships, Saturn now is transiting a part of the sky that for you deals with shared resources and personal transformation. As a house that represents merging and surrender, Saturn here will highlight parts of life you can’t control. Thus, this will be a time when you have to face any control issues you have, and you’ll be urged to let go in both the material and non-material sense. You are diving deep into the marrow of life in order to uncover what is real. Saturn in the eighth house could indicate limitations around shared resources, pushing you to restructure the way you deal with finances, such as needing to compromise or create a budget in order to meet the needs of a new financial goal. It’s essential to remember during this time, the harder you try to grasp what cannot be controlled, the quicker it will slip from your grasp.

The full moon in Virgo is asking you to find a balance between your needs and the needs of another.

Virgo

After completing its transit through your sixth house of health and daily routine, Saturn now begins its transit through a place in the sky for you that deals with one-on-one partnerships, which will put your closest relationships to the test. For some, this could be a time of marriage or divorce. Whatever you may have been trying to sweep under the rug, especially in terms of a romantic or business partnership, will be impossible now to ignore. This is a make-or-break transit. But this is not meant to scare you.

Saturn does not destroy anything that is real; Saturn exposes the truth. Perhaps it’s time for couples therapy to finally confront ongoing issues. It’s not all somber. Part of this could be going on more dates as a way to pour fresh energy back into your relationship. For those who are single, you may feel more guarded when it comes to trust and will likely be drawn toward a more mature or older person. Be careful not to get pessimistic about the potential for partnership.

The full moon is happening in your sign and may have you feeling a little moody and desiring a little more attention than usual.

Libra

After transiting your house of pleasure and creativity, Saturn now moves into a part of the sky that deals with health and daily routine. This is about time and how you use it and habits that are getting in the way of your forward progression. Saturn will be forcing you to restructure your day to implement good habits.

You may feel that you are in a race with time, and no matter how early you wake up or how quickly you work, you’ll probably find that you just can’t quite cross off everything you have on your to-do list. This would be a beneficial period to track where your time is going to really see how you’re utilizing your time. Perhaps that few minutes you think you’re on Instagram is actually an hour. Aside from this, health and your workplace also come under scrutiny now. You could find limitations in one of these areas, such as needing to cut out certain foods or vices.

This full moon may reveal something to you that’s been hidden. You may find yourself desiring to retreat and rest.

Scorpio

After spending over two years in your fourth house of home and inner security, Saturn now moves into a part of the sky that for you deals with pleasure and heart-oriented activities. This is the house of play and the initial romantic spark you have in early dating. If you’ve been going overboard in terms of having fun, Saturn will be putting the breaks on overindulgences. And wherever the lines between business and pleasure have become blurred, you’ll be asked to define solid boundaries.

For those looking to turn a hobby or passion into a business, now is the time you have to put in the long hours to make that dream a reality. This also could indicate periods of creative blocks or a lack of inspiration, but regardless, Saturn is asking you to show up. Your attention also may turn toward children. And for some, this could indicate a new family member.

The full moon in Virgo will have you wanting to be around groups of people or participate in a humanitarian effort.

Sagittarius

For over two years Saturn has been in your sector of communication and community. Now the planet enters a part of the sky that deals with home and inner security. This is a pivotal transit for you, as the fourth house has to do with the very foundation of your life. It is the roots from which everything else grows. Saturn is going to limit your natural tendencies for luck and optimism during this time and may leave you feeling a little bit lonely.

Saturn wants you to face whatever you’ve been running from in order to develop emotional strength and will push you to show up and care for yourself. Old coping strategies are likely to prove inadequate, forcing you to restructure your personal support system. This also could indicate a move or home renovation, which underlines what this yearslong transit really is about — establishing a solid sense of home, in every sense of the word.

The full moon in Virgo is shining a light on matters of career and public persona. You could be recognized now or see the culmination of a project.

Capricorn

For the last two years, Saturn, your natural ruling planet, has been transiting your second house of self-worth and money, pushing you to restructure your sense of worth. Now, Saturn moves into a part of the sky that deals with your mind and communication. During this time, you will be challenged to question what you know and any matters of deception will be revealed.

This is about walking the talk. Limitations around curiosity and skillsets are probable. For some, this could be a time of mastering communication and refining your message as it relates to the community at large through hard work. This energy also could manifest in areas of marketing or sales, and you will be challenged to elevate your skills and find your authentic voice. Be impeccable with your word. Challenges with transportation could come now.

The full moon in Virgo will be pulling out your adventurous side and have you looking for an escape.

Aquarius 

The last two years may have left you feeling a bit drained and depressed, as Saturn transited through your sign and pushed you to grapple with the very core of your identity. Now, as Saturn enters Pisces, this is a time when you will feel pressure around money, and you may see a reduction in your income, or you may need to expend more money. While you may feel the pinch of financial restrictions, this is not an energy meant to hurt you. Rather, this is a time when you are being asked to take a realistic look at your personal cash flow. Any poor financial habits will reveal themselves to help you get on track. And you may need to clear out or sell unnecessary possession or downsize in general.

But this influence also highlights self-value and encourages you to examine your self-perception in terms of how you value yourself. If you’ve been devaluing yourself, it may be time to ask for a raise, seek a promotion, start a side hustle or work on building self-esteem.

This full moon in Virgo is lighting up a financial sector of your chart and is asking you to find a balance between give and take.

Pisces

After transiting through your 12th house of endings and the subconscious, Saturn now enters your sign and a part of the sky that deals with who you are in the deepest sense, dear Pisces. This is a pivotal influence for you, where what has been hidden now becomes visible. It’s likely that who you know yourself to be right now will not be the same at the end of this transit. Since you are a sign that exists in a more escapist realm, this is a time when you will not be able to run away from the truth.

You are being pushed to show up in a more realistic and logical way to manifest dreams into the material world through practical, tangible efforts. You may be perceived as more serious during this time, and dreams that were never meant for you may be taken away at this time. Take care of your physical body, as you may suffer a lack of vitality. And while it may seem nearly impossible at some points, keep faith. You may be pushed into a leadership role at this time.
