Delineating Saturn in Pisces
To begin delineating Saturn, you'll need to calculate a birth chart based on the date, time, and location of birth. You can easily get this at AstroSeeker. Why? Because Saturn spends about 2.5 years in each zodiacal sign, which means an entire group of people is born when Saturn is in Pisces. The sign is meaningful, but astrologers also pay attention to:
- The house Saturn occupies in your birth chart
- The sign and house placement of Neptune, the ruling planet of Saturn in Pisces.
- The aspects the Sun, Moon, and Personal planets make to Saturn.
Please note that the brief interpretations below are relevant but not the full story because they don't relate to an entire birth chart.
Saturn in Pisces' House
The house Saturn occupies is where those with Saturn in Pisces will experience sorrow and pain. As an example, with Saturn in Pisces in the eleventh, the individual somehow lost faith in the goodness of humankind. Their task is to develop faith in others.
The Sign and House of Neptune
The sign and house placement of Neptune reveal where and how the person can be the most imaginative and inspire others. As an example, if Saturn was in the eleventh and Neptune is in Scorpio in the sixth, the individual's drive and passion for your work can inspire those they work with.
Aspects From Planets
The aspects from the other planets reveal other hang-ups. As an example, suppose the individual with Saturn in the eleventh has a Virgo Moon in the fifth house opposite Saturn. This is a reliable indication that developing faith in others will require accepting that neither you are anyone else is perfect.
Saturn's Gift to Pisces
Saturn gifts Pisces with practical imagination and rational spirituality. Those with Saturn in Pisces are not "Woo-Woo" individuals who seem slippery, flaky, or "out there." These are people who want to create or do something meaningful that has purpose and value for others.
