Saturn direct in Pisces: November 27

Taskmaster Saturn straightens out on November 27 after a five-month retrograde period that began in fiery Aries on July 13, and moved into healing, watery Pisces on September 1.

So, how does a Saturn retrograde actually affect us? Think of it as a review period. Saturn’s backspin invites soul-searching, accountability and a few tough-love lessons. This year’s retrograde toggled between Aries’ impulsive fire and Pisces’ go-with-the-flow currents, pushing all of us to recognize where we’ve been too forceful AND where we’ve been too hands-off. Fun? Not exactly. Transformative? Absolutely.

Now, as Saturn finishes its final tour through Pisces (until February 13, 2026), you’re issued a gentle but firm directive: develop your gifts. If you’ve got an artistic talent or spiritual insight to share with the world, start honing it like a craftsperson. Already at expert level? Pay it forward by mentoring someone who’s just beginning the journey. Saturn rewards dedication, discipline and legacy-building. So step into a role that lets you shape your corner of the universe with intention.

We’re not exactly rookies when it comes to Saturn in Pisces. This transit began nearly three years ago, on March 7, 2023, ushering in a rare (once-every-29.5-years) chapter of emotional excavation and spiritual recalibration. As Saturn the grown-up moved through Pisces’ tender terrain, it opened a powerful portal for healing—trigger work, grief processing and deep faith-building included. Saturn’s adulting influence pushed for emotional regulation and serious inner work, the kind that eventually produces real results.

If it felt like plans stalled after July 13, you’re not imagining it. When Saturn, the zodiac’s master builder, slips into its annual five-month retrograde, the universe tends to go slo mo. Projects pause and momentum lags, but that slowdown can be a hidden advantage. Ideally, you used Saturn retrograde to revisit your blueprints, spot structural weaknesses and make sure your long-term plans are built to last (you can do that last part now that Saturn retrograde is over!).

When Saturn turns direct on November 27, consider it permission to take off the cement-soled shoes and find your stride again. You can return to your stalled goals with renewed confidence as Saturn finishes its tour of Pisces through February 13. After that, the taskmaster planet heads into Aries for a brand-new three-year cycle that will offer a fresh curriculum of lessons, challenges and breakthroughs.

8 Ideas for picking up the pace when the Saturn retrograde ends

1. Patch things over with “the authorities.” You may have found yourself in some hot water if you challenged authority. Or, did you give someone too much power over yourself? Cooler, clearer heads prevail when Saturn retrograde ends.

2. Pay your dues. Frustrated about protocol? You’re not alone. This is Saturn’s bidding, however, and we promise you’ll thank the zodiac’s teacher for his due diligence soon enough.

3. Build skills through repetition. Got an artistic or spiritual gift to contribute to the world? Practice the skills that lead to mastery.

4. Create solid structures to support your ambitions. Saturn doesn’t let you cut corners without consequence. Create solid structures now to support your goals. Do all the behind-the-scenes planning for your big projects.

5. Assess your goals. Do they light you up anymore? Maybe the reason you’re spinning your wheels is they’re out-dated or pointed in the wrong direction. Revise long-term plans as needed.

6. Connect to your supporters and mentors. Haven’t seen them in how long? Make a plan. What about healthy role models? Find them. If you’re forging a career path, network with influencers and strengthen important connections that will advance you.

7. Figure out what you were/are supposed to learn from the struggle. The weight of a Saturn retrograde can feel like you’re at a point of no return, but rest assured, as the Saturn retrograde ends, the heaviness starts to make sense. Through these teachable moments, you will find the confidence to move forward and onward.

8. Help someone else. When mature Saturn retrograde ends, mentorship opportunities may become available—a great way to give back! Contribute to someone else’s development by sharing the wisdom of your own experience.

Sidenote: The Saturn retrograde “station period” requires patience

The Saturn retrograde phase—which lasts 4-5 months annually—is akin to falling off the wagon. It’s easy to slip into bad habits and adopt self-destructive habits. Saturn is like a personal trainer breaking you down, revealing your weak spots and forcing you to do the heavy lifting so you can get stronger.

As you course-correct, be patient with yourself if things don’t change overnight. While Saturn retrograde ends and the planet goes into direct (forward) motion, it first enters what astrologers call its “station” period. When a planet stations, it appears to be standing still. Imagine when you’re on a moving train that suddenly stops, jerking backward, then forward. Stationing cycles can shake things up in our world even more. Patience is required!

And that’s not all: The “shadow” period that follows a retrograde could have you feeling residual effects of the retrograde for several weeks after the Saturn retrograde ends on November 27. Saturn’s stationing will take until January 22.
