It is a significant astrological event when Saturn moves into a new sign. Saturn’s journey through the twelve signs is slow, and his influence is deep. So what can Vedic astrology tell us about Saturn’s transit in Pisces?
Saturn will transit Pisces between March 29, 2025, and February 23, 2028, except for a four-month-long stay in Aries. After his short visit in Aries, Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces for another four months.
To understand Saturn’s transit in Pisces, let us first examine Saturn’s qualities.
Saturn is the main planet of karma. We might react with disappointment, sorrow, or frustration to the reality he sometimes reveals.
Saturn governs our foundations and encourages us to fulfill our duties and responsibilities. His energy is focused, organized, and methodical. He likes a good routine and will reward work and effort.
Saturn teaches us detachment and even-mindedness when facing the ups and downs of life.
The last of the twelve signs of the zodiac, Pisces represents endings, loss, change, transformations, and liberation.
Pisces is governed by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom.
It is a flexible and fluid sign with no distinct boundaries.
People with planets in Pisces are often visionary and imaginative. They are also emphatic, sensitive, and intuitive.
The astrological influences at the beginning of Saturn entering Pisces affect the rest of his stay in the sign. Observing the energy when Saturn entered Pisces, two words come to mind: instability and change.
Saturn entered Pisces on March 29th, only a few hours after the solar eclipse. The energy in Pisces was charged and unstable. At the beginning of Pisces, Saturn met Rahu, and four planets gathered. Saturn, who governs foundations and needs stability, was uncomfortable.
The close conjunction between Saturn and the planets, especially Rahu, is manifesting global turmoil in trade and finances. This turbulent and intense energy will continue while Saturn and Rahu are closely conjunct, affecting an entire world. Rahu leaves Pisces and begins his transit in Aquarius on May 29.
Pisces is a water sign, and we can expect many storms, especially while Saturn and Rahu are closely conjunct. These two airy planets in a water sign will undoubtedly stir things up.
By June 2025, most planets will have moved out of Pisces, leaving Saturn alone with Neptune.
Saturn’s stay in Pisces suggests that water-related incidents, such as flooding, landslides, and rising sea levels, will need attention. There is also a potential for Earthquakes.
Saturn’s close relationship with Neptune throughout his stay in Pisces suggests matters regarding secret espionage and sabotage, especially in the seas. There can also be incidents with contamination, such as oil spills.
Saturn’s close relationship to the outer planet Neptune while transiting in Pisces is noteworthy. This is a rare conjunction. The last time Neptune was in Pisces was between 1857 and 1871 (Vedic calendar).
After May 31, Saturn and Neptune influence one another as they travel close together. They both retrograde at 7 degrees Pisces in July within days of one another, and for the remainder of the time that Saturn stays in Pisces, they follow one another as they retrograde and go direct almost simultaneously.
July 12 - November 27, 2025:Saturn is retrograde from 7 degrees Pisces to 1 degree Pisces.
July 27 - December 10, 2026: Saturn is retrograde from 20 degrees Pisces to 14 degrees Pisces
August 9 - December 28, 2027: Saturn is retrograde from 3 degrees Aries to 27 degrees Pisces
Saturn stations and has strength when he shifts between retrograde and direct. If you have planets near these degrees in Pisces, you will be influenced by the energy during these times.
Like many astrological combinations, the Saturn/Neptune combination in Pisces expresses a positive and a negative side.
This combination is a wake-up call. Saturn reveals illusions. Neptune’s idealism is not always based on truth; many may feel manipulated. Neptune can express disillusionment, disappointment, and escapism. It is hard for Neptune to face harsh realities. Drugs and alcohol can become a problem.
It is essential to stay positive and to cultivate faith. This will draw favorable circumstances. Negativity will not attract what we need.
The combination of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces also has a positive side: Saturn is realistic and can make dreams come true with some help from an idealistic and truthful Neptune. Saturn urges us to be responsible and will try to manifest structure within fluid and chaotic situations. If we stay away from blame, new structures will emerge in the fluidity of Pisces.
Find ways to stay grounded and maintain healthy boundaries. Try to be practical and even-minded in the midst of change and life’s uncertainties. This is an opportunity to be open to the higher vibrations and consciousness of Pisces.
Neptune in Pisces has refined energy associated with spirituality, intuition, psychic sensitivity, and the role of the subconscious.
The transit of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces increases the attraction to intuitive sciences and spirituality.
Saturn’s focused and concentrated energy will manifest opportunities for deep introspection, meditation, service, and purification.
Even under challenging circumstances, let us make the best of this transit by deepening our spiritual lives.

Astrologically, March and April are likely the most dramatic months in 2025. The first pair of eclipses in 2025 occur in March. And on March 29, the same day as the solar eclipse, Saturn moves into a new sign, Pisces.
February 2025 begins with a rare cluster of planets in the early degrees of Pisces.
