Saturn in Aries Dates:
May 24, 2025 – September  1, 2025
February 13, 2026 – April 12, 2028

May 24, 2025 — On Saturday, Saturn enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, closing an era and beginning a new one in dramatic fashion. This marks an historic ingress. We’re ready to jump onto new timelines and trajectories.

Saturn is now queuing up to form a grand configuration with three other outer planets—mystical Neptune, shocking Uranus, and transformative Pluto. I’m calling this “the triangle of revolution.” The planets of structure and dissolution are now joining together in Aries, signaling the end of one karmic era and the start of another. Creativity abounds. Our dreams are becoming real in ways we couldn’t previously imagine—now tethered to courage and action.

Saturn represents maturity and consequence, while Aries is the sign of will and individuation. With Saturn in Aries, we’re called to orient our lives with authenticity and urgency. We’re dismantling inherited scripts and storylines while establishing more authentic structures. We now have far more vigilance and fortitude—which is important in the face of so much change and calamity. Our warriorship is being called upon like never before, and the reminder of "strong spines, soft hearts, clear minds,” has never felt more important.

The past few years of Saturn in Pisces offered a period of dreaming and deep reflection. However, Pisces drifts and can sometimes become lost in reverie or confusion. By contrast, Aries is direct and bold. As Saturn crosses this potent threshold, we are rapidly bursting out of our cocoons. Long-held visions are now manifesting after years of frustration, regression, and waiting for a breakthrough. Having patiently tilled the soil and planted seeds, our lives are beginning to sprout with clarity, direction, and effort that pays off. We’re barreling toward revolutionary change in all facets of our lives and the world.

INITIATION + INTEGRITY

Aries moves fast, while Saturn moves slow. When these two energies merge, we find it easier to apply restraint and strategy as our momentum gradually builds. Like marathon runners, we have epic endurance now. It’s important that we apply this strength and tenacity something rooted in integrity and truth.

This transit realizes our dreams and will and reminds us that real courage is commitment. The planets are inviting us to reorient our personal goals, identities, and ambitions based on experiential wisdom, rather than illusion or fantasy. For each of us, the Aries house in our chart will be Saturn’s domain for the next few years—showing us where we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work. With Neptune also present, this is where we’ll have the Midas touch and incredible powers of manifestation.

THE SATURN-NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION AT 0° ARIES

On February 20, 2026, Saturn meets Neptune at 0° Aries, forming an exact conjunction for the first time. This marks one of the most significant astrological events of our lifetime. Saturn represents form, and Neptune is vision. Together at the first degree of the zodiac, the new paradigm now emerges in full force, like a volcano erupting in the midst of a lightning storm. This isn’t a new chapter, or even a new book—it’s a new volume.

This is the moment when our script is rewritten. We’re no longer bound by inherited timelines or rigid, outworn ideological frameworks. What we’ve been longing for is beginning to take shape, so we might remember to be discerning. Saturn in Aries asks: Are our dreams worthy of being built? If so, what’s our strategy?

SATURN IN ARIES THROUGHOUT HISTORY

Historically, Saturn in Aries has coincided with war, revolt, and the assertion of will through force. During past cycles, we've seen global uprisings, assassinations, and the prelude to major conflicts:

• 1937–1940: The Spanish Civil War, Germany's invasion of Poland, and the outbreak of WWII.

• 1967–1969: The Tet Offensive, the assassinations of MLK and RFK, and the global uprisings of 1968.

• 1996–1999: The Kosovo War, India-Pakistan nuclear tensions, and global protests.

Aries is ruled by Mars, planet of war and leadership, while Saturn is authority and the lord of Karma. Together, they provoke questions of sovereignty and who gets to lead. This transit can spark both courageous new leadership—and violent backlash against change. Whatever happens, it’s clear that leadership is ready to be tested and transformed. We may notice compelling, heart-centered leaders who’ve been quietly working in the background beginning to take charge.

Just as borders have shifted and power structures have been redefined under past Saturn–Neptune cycles, we may now witness the slow dissolution of global agreements. Trade alliances, digital frameworks, and territorial claims could be challenged. As our systems and frameworks shift and dissolve rapidly, the question is—What are we going to build from here?

THE PERSONAL STORY

It’s important to remember that we’re not passive participants in this reset—we are active participants in the shaping of reality. Saturn in Aries is placing tremendous power in our hands as individuals and communities.

This is a time to take bold but disciplined steps, to define success on our own terms, and to align our actions with integrity and deeper truth. With electric Uranus activating Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto in July, we’re heading toward major revolution, where we the people hold the power. It’s about all of us working together to create a more compassionate, functional world. To make that happen, we feeling a surge of fire and inspiration as we become more heroic, awake, and willing to begin.

It’s now time to fight for what matters and to work harder than we have before—with stronger resolve and clearer direction. Our actions are about to have more consequence. We can now ask ourselves: How can we help create enlightened society? How can we channel our anger into constructive drive? And how can we remain vigilant and steady, understanding the power we hold, especially when we open our hearts in a group of others who share similar aspirations?

SATURN IN ARIES ASPIRATION

As Saturn enters Aries, may we forge a new reality grounded in truth and courage, as our long-held dreams finally take form. May we cross this threshold with inspiration and bravery—ready to embody the future we've long imagined.
