SATURN IN ARIES 2025-2028
Saturn will make its first tentative entrance into Aries on 24-25 May 2025 remaining in this sign until 01 September when by retrograde motion it will return to Pisces.
From Water to Fire. The old man enters the sign of youth, who will teach who?
Saturn in Pisces enjoyed only minor dignity in the first 10 and the last 5 degrees of the sign (the former by face, the latter by term). In Aries, Saturn will be in his fall and only slightly improved by dignity in term during the last 5 degrees of the sign. So, for the most part of his stay, Saturn will be debilitated and thus tendentially inclined to do bad rather than good.
Aries is a Cardinal, action-making sign, Saturn naturally tends to drag his feet, cautious beyond reason at times. So, this could be a rather “constipated” version of Saturn in which “go versus stop, impulse versus caution, risk versus security, motion versus crystallisation, challenge versus fear, fighting with intention etc” all need to be figured out.
The chart for the moment of the ingress (London 03.37 UT) shows Saturn only one degree away from an applying conjunction to Neptune (exact February 2026) and receiving a separating sextile from the Sun in Gemini. I will be writing much more about the Saturn-Neptune conjunction nearer to the event but it often involves being drawn beyond one’s own boundaries or the dissolving of old patterns as well as the difficulty in diagnosing chronic illnesses.
With Saturn in Aries there could also be a fear of warfare, a disciplined act of war or an intended act of war…
Saturn could be controlling in the Fiery masculine sign but Aries might imbue some enthusiasm into Saturn however either scenario could lead to frustration as if trying to drive at full speed with the brakes on.
A few of my further thoughts about Saturn in Aries:
Fear of firearms, regulated use of firearms
Commanding with intent (and cruelty)
Fear of being commanded over
Young people contesting the older generation or the old rules
Older generation wanting war
The last two times Saturn was in Aries was in 1996-99 and 1967-69.
What was happening in the world during those periods?
1967-1969
Anti-Vietnam peace marches during a period in which the war was in full swing – fear/disdain (Saturn) of war (Aries).
Student protests across Europe – the young (Aries) contested the old (Saturn).
April 1996-June 1998, October 1998-March 1999
March 1998 – the drug Viagra was approved by the FDA – everyone can find their own meaning of Saturn in Aries about this!
March 1997 Kyoto protocol regarding the control (Saturn) of greenhouse gases (by curtailing the use of energy aka Mars)
Time (Saturn) of course will tell how this energy (Aries) will be used.
“There’s an older generation that feels like they know what the future should be. And then there’s your generation that may have an idea of what the future should be, but that could evolve.” ~ Pharrell Williams
