April 18, 2025Saturn in Aries 25th of May 2025- 13th of April 2028 Stayin’ alive
Each of us builds this Saturn in Aries, in positive and negative ways. This is true to both natal and transiting Saturn. We have already lived so many lives, but we still do not know how to connect with this invisible part in us that shapes our life through inner experience. Connection and similarity in movement of planets exists in movement within us, but often we do not see it or hear it. We simply ignore it.
However, by entering Aries, Saturn begins new evolutionary cycle and expects us to be ready to jump high and far. If you are over 29, what you couldn’t do 30 years ago, you have to do for yourself now. This is a life test to find out how strong you are. Can you truly live and not just survive?
Saturn and relation to planets
As our relationship to our inner world changes, through various self-work techniques and self-discipline, so does everything else in our life. However, before that we must feel fear that is deposited in our bones, skin and teeth. This overwhelms our nervous system keeping us imprisoned in the past. We have to work through it and not let fear break us preventing us from moving forward.
Almost everyone is afraid of Saturn. You are afraid of Saturn because you do not see it in yourself. You don’t see the scared part in you. You instead live on autopilot of fear and self-doubt accompanied by low energy.
And Saturn in Aries shows precisely through low energy, inflammation, pain and infections that we have to align with anxious part of personality. That part is terrified of life’s uncertainty, but we pretend it’s not true. “Grit your teeth”, “be strong”, “just endure a little longer!’’. Similar sayings have been said to everyone at least once in their life.
However, fear did not disappear with those words. And what was the cost of clenching your teeth when it hurt? Where did that fear go? Where is that pain now? In you nervous system! And as Aries represents brain and Saturn represents past written in our cells from the moment we were born, such vibration will appear in our life because we have to meet it again in order to move on.
Work, order and discipline
Saturn demands work, order and discipline. Wisdom definitely comes with age, but if you are going through this transit for the first time, it usually means that you will bang your head against the wall. You could create stress for yourself that you could realistically do without acting wiser with more calm.
But this time during Saturn in Aries, there is also Neptune in Aries. Invisible obstacles are much stronger than those that we can see with our naked eye. Those invisible obstacles were absorbed by our emotional body when we were thrust into situations for which our nervous system was not prepared.
With transits of Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune in Aries will have mutual aspects that may make everyday life more intense. If your head is full of noise, thoughts may wander lacking focus and causing mistakes.
Neptune transits
In order for Neptune to support us, there must be a stable Saturn, but if Saturn is not stable in our life, problems arise. These two planets in an out-of-sign conjunction aspect can manifest as addictions, self-defeating behaviour and fraud. However, everything starts from your Sun. If you have previously had challenges, channelling your energy should be done in a constructive way without harm for you or people around you.
Uranus represents freedom, awakening and innovative way of life. Together with Saturn it will seek from us to be able to create new identity that exudes energy and willpower. Pluto represents transformation beyond contours of what we previously considered taboo topics, forbidden or suppressed. Neptune represents imagination, stories and images from stream of consciousness as well as empathy, along with world of fantasy. Now yours thoughs will really materialize and it seems a bit scary if you are not careful.
Let’s check it now
What would you say, how aligned are you with Saturn? Do you feed your nervous system with fear every day? Do you find it difficult to sit in silence without your phone and be still? We can easily assess your relationship to Saturn through these questions. Here are some more questions
- Are you responsible for obligations you have, first of all, to yourself?
- Are you present in your body for most of the day?
- Are you punctual and keep your word?
- Despite problems and challenges, do you try to remain consistent?
- Do you believe there is cosmic order?
- Are you open to learning from mistakes?
- Do you always try to do your best?
- Are you aware that external constraints are identical to internal ones?
Language we use in communication can separate and unite us. Astrology is a language, so we should always be careful whether through it we choose to activate energy in ourselves in positive or negative way. Will you see yourself as someone who does not have strength to deal with life?
Will you refuse to see that everything starts from yourselves? Fortunately, language of astrology can support us when we know what every big transit is asking of us. This can be easily determined from natal chart, which is something we deal with during consultations.
Your encounter with the Universe
During Saturn in Aries, the Universe is asking for an old wound to be cleared in order for healing to occur. That wound cannot remain in shadows nor can we continue to pretend that it is not there. Problems remain until we face them and this requires courage, energy and self-love. Saturn builds your character with discipline, but it means you have to do something you’d rather not do. That thing really scares you, but you know it is good for you. You know that when you do it, good feeling will follow.
Yes, Saturn often asks for it to be a little harder at start so that we feel better later. As well as when we are just starting training in gym or learning something completely new. However, change we have is that Saturn in Aries is ruled by Mars. Mars changes sign every two months which hits faster pace that must be expressed in your attitude as well. Mars is very strong in Aries, so it will give us opportunities to strengthen and support ourselves by building personal image of success.
Each of us will be invited to start living our own reality and not the one lived by our parents or distant ancestors. Letting go of the old requires higher level of energy and new skills. Some of you will feel this transit as depression at first if you are in resistance with this energy.
However, Saturn now emphasizes that you should start living. You need to step outside of your mind and limitations you have created for yourself. Now many of you are beginning to understand that painkillers do not relieve the pain, but only change from within.
Negative side
Family quarrels may escalate this summer due to transit of Jupiter in Cancer. Saturn in Aries can represent quick decisions that we later regret. That’s why it’s much better to use this energy to learn about yourself and to become aware of whether you still choose to stay in job or relationship that doesn’t suit you out of fear of change. It will be necessary for you to become much more physically active. You will like red, yellow and orange colours that invigorate you. Avoid black and grey.
Whatever we choose to do or not do, change happens to make us realize that we deserve more. For this transit it will be very important that you have techniques to help yourself on a daily level, by yourself, at any time.
However, remember that what you start now may not yield immediate results if it comes to bigger projects and goals. If you have been diligent and persistent results will appear when Saturn enters Taurus. Don’t wait for someone to change or do things for you, take the initiative yourself and find the way.
In house where Saturn is in Aries, it will be necessary to take responsibility. In relation to that particular life theme, you may feel that at first it is very difficult to achieve your wishes. You may give up more easily. However, if you manage to overcome that voice in your head, I promise you that in 2028 you will be glad that you stepped out of your comfort zone and persevered.
Important aspects
If Saturn has aspects with nodes, natal Moon, Sun or Saturn or is prominent in natal chart this transit is very important for you. Pay attention to your physical energy, which is guiding you what you should and shouldn’t do. Energy will support you and illuminate direction of movement.
Eclipses were on this axis recently, during 2023-2024 and awareness increased about what we can really do and what we imagined or projected onto our partner and close people. With Neptune in Aries, we release energy that does not serve us in realization of new intentions. This will save energy for important goals.
Time to balance activity with rest, where your key guide will be to listen and support yourself even when fear arises will be very important. Becoming aware of messages your energy level and overall vitality will be showing you step by step will build sense of confidence for new life chapters you are about to embark on.
Unconscious has the most influence during every transit, so how Saturn in Aries will look for you this time is connected to part of you that you have suppressed. Especially if there is a lot of anger, resentment or self-doubt.
Insecurity and anxiety prevent you from being authentic. These are all forms of defence mechanisms that Saturn wants you to break free from. Astrology is wonderful support for working on yourself because when you learn how to connect with transit energy, life becomes more pleasant and beautiful. When you give this energy space through which it will be physically and mentally present in your life, everything becomes much better. I’m here to support you.
