After 2.5 arduous years, Saturn is finally finishing up his stay in Aquarius. On March 7th, 2023, Saturn will enter the sign of Pisces.

Saturn is currently in the Third Decan, at 28° and in the face that Austin Coppock calls "The Knot". Austin states that...

the third face of Aquarius “illuminates karmic entanglements and oversees liberation from them.”

This third decan is ruled by the Moon. Interestingly, we saw the Moon come to join Saturn almost immediately prior to it's ingress into Pisces, before meeting with the Sun for Monday's new moon at 1° Pisces.

Did you notice the Moon's final meeting with Saturn bringing a culmination to the matters that you've been asked to examine over the last few years?

Perhaps a karmic knot you've been grappling with has finally loosened enough for you to unravel it and move on...

This face is also associated with the Seven of Swords card, the "Lord of Futility" and is described by Susan T. Chang in her book 36 Secrets as "the card of the divided mind."

Maybe the final degrees of Saturn's presence have had you in two minds about something? Susan writes:

"We're complicated people, and we can hold two contradictory thoughts in our heads at the same time. The twisted posture of our conniving friend - the head going one way, the feet going the other - conveys this doubleness of intention."

It describes a lot of analysis! If you've been struggling to make a decision on something, perhaps it will help to reflect on this imagery and remember that Aquarius is of course, a fixed sign. It's not meant to be easy here!

Venus rules this decan by triplicity too, so you could also think about how this unravelling might allow for more beauty, love, pleasure or art in your life? 💕

As Saturn slowly grinds over the final degrees, it's a great time to reflect and integrate the lessons he has brought to the house Aquarius rules in your chart. I know I certainly have a lot to wade through! 😅

The first image in this thread is my own! Created for my new project The Wild Way — an astro-flavoured oracle deck designed to help reconnect us with the rhythms of nature and celebrate the passing of the year. You can find out more here: shorturl.at/hlzDJ

My aim with this deck is to reconnect us with the natural cycles that used to be present in everyday life and seasonal shifts that were marked by the celebration of grand communal events. Today much of this connection has been sadly lost...

Hopefully by using the cards to reflect on the changing seasons, we'll be able to gain a deeper understanding of the universe, and a deeper appreciation of our place in it.

Coming soon to Kickstarter! ✨
