Why this Saturn retrograde season matters — especially if you’re struggling
If you’ve been feeling stuck, wounded, financially drained, or emotionally exhausted, this Saturn retrograde is for you, because Saturn doesn’t just cause delays; Saturn heals through maturity. It doesn’t punish — it redirects. This retrograde, beginning in fiery Aries and ending in soulful Pisces, acts as a two-phase spiritual intervention aimed at rebuilding our confidence and faith.
Saturn retrograde in Aries: (July 12 – August 31, 2025)
When Saturn is retrograde in Aries, we are encouraged to confront the internal struggles we have been avoiding. Saturn in Aries urges us to face our fear of being regarded as a failure and to redefine what success means to us, not according to society or our families, but based on what we perceive as a fulfilling life. This is the time to challenge those inner voices telling you that you’re too old, it is too late, or you're too broken. Saturn in Aries doesn’t aim for perfection; it seeks progress through action, courage and bravery.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces: (August 31 – November 27, 2025)
After Aries reveals what you are capable of, Pisces encourages you to let go of your past self. This is the quiet, soulful aspect of the retrograde, where grief, shame, unfulfilled dreams, and emotional exhaustion come to the surface — not to destroy you, but to be released. If you have felt deep disappointment in your life, spiritual disconnection, betrayal in love, business, or trust, Saturn in Pisces will assist you in releasing this heavy emotional baggage. This isn’t about hustle; it’s about surrendering, forgiving, and rebuilding inner safety. Saturn retrograde in Pisces reminds us that it’s okay to feel sad about things that didn’t work out, but don’t allow them to define your future. Let go of illusions, including toxic relationships, self-delusion, or trying to be someone you’re not. To navigate this retrograde, you might enjoy journaling, meditation, creative expression, or whatever else relaxes your soul.
If you’re struggling financially, this retrograde may reveal the real root of your money wounds (often linked to self-worth), the beliefs that keep you in scarcity, the need to build slow but solid foundations, rather than chasing instant results. Use this time to create a budget, revisit skills, or finally launch that idea you’ve been afraid of — even in a small way.
