One of the most significant transits of 2025 is Saturn’s entry into Aries, where it will remain until 2028. Aries is Saturn’s fall sign , which means that, especially during the first half of the transit, we’re likely to experience more challenges than clarity around this energy . When a planet is in fall, its expression doesn’t come easily: what it represents is met with friction, inhibitions, or contradictions. However, planets in fall are not destined to fail; in fact, when integrated maturely, they can deliver extraordinary results . So, while this transit may begin tensely, it has the potential to become deeply productive as we move forward and become accustomed to this new energy.

A Social Planet

Saturn is a social planet , and that means its influence is not limited to internal experience, but organizes our relationship with collective structures —law, duty, systems, hierarchies, work, time. The social planets (Jupiter and Saturn) shape how we integrate into the world : they are no longer intimate processes like those of the personal planets, but they are not completely beyond our reach either. They are intermediate between the individual and the collective. Saturn, in particular, shows us the structure that sustains our lives, how we position ourselves in relation to what demands commitment, and the rules that govern our participation in the adult world.

The Exact Dates

Saturn will be in Aries from May 25 to August 31, 2025 , and then from February 14, 2026 to April 13, 2028 .

Birth Planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn: The Importance of Preparing in Advance

This transit will have an impact on everyone, both personally and collectively. But if you have natal planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn , you're likely to feel its effect directly and structurally . This is because Saturn from Aries will form tense aspects with these signs—squares and oppositions—which generate friction, demands, and a need for reorganization.

It's important to keep in mind that with Saturn transits, it's not enough to simply react when we feel them upon us. The key is to prepare in advance , ideally a year in advance , to review what's no longer working, make concrete adjustments, and maturely embrace the decisions we've been putting off. Saturn doesn't seek to punish, but it does reveal quite unequivocally the consequences of what we've built or neglected . When the exact aspect arrives, what happens is the logical outcome of everything we did—or didn't do—in the lead-up.

If we act responsibly before it arrives, the transition can be experienced as a demanding process, yes, but a fruitful one: it gives us the opportunity to build something lasting. On the other hand, if we ignore the signs or continue operating as if nothing is happening, Saturn brings us a difficult period. Thus, the difference between going through this transit productively or destructively depends largely on prior preparation .

Saturn: The Physical Plane, Time and Manifestation

In essence, Saturn is the ruling planet of the physical plane and what manifests within it . The physical plane is not only the slowest of all: it's the only plane where time exists as we know it. On other planes—such as the mental, emotional, or spiritual—things can change in an instant. An idea can suddenly emerge, an emotion can transform from one second to the next. But on the physical plane, the story is different.

From a physical perspective, time is another dimension of the physical universe —along with length, width, and height—that allows for change, movement, cause, and consequence. Nothing can manifest without time . That's why Saturn represents the passage of time, aging, maturation, and also the effort required for something to come into being. If there is no time, there is no process; if there is no process, there is no physical reality.

Well, that's the essential meaning of Saturn. But what we sometimes forget is that all of Saturn's other meanings—tests, limits, slowness, waiting—derive from this fundamental principle. Traditionally, Saturn was the god of agriculture: a discipline that to this day is tremendously laborious . It's not that plants want to grow slowly or that the earth wants to give us extra work by needing to be plowed. Similarly, it's not that Saturn "wants" to test us: what happens is that everything that manifests in matter requires time, effort, and sequence , and that, as human beings, we interpret this as something negative . Thus arises the perception that Saturn is a "difficult" planet, and it has even traditionally been classified as malefic. However, removing the labels, we come to the conclusion that this planet only makes us go through the natural rhythm of reality . From this basis, its associations with patience, maturity, endurance, and sustained work are derived. Saturn is associated with slow processes because it anchors the desire, intention, or idea in a real sequence , where it must be built step by step. And in that waiting (and the resulting frustration and/or resistance) we often find the test, the learning, and also the consolidation of what is truly worthwhile.

By transit, Saturn marks periods of consolidation, patient construction, and confrontation with what no longer works. Its function is to replace fragile, obsolete structures, or those based on childish illusions, with new, firm structures anchored in reality . Wherever Saturn passes, the solidity of what we've built is tested—and if something doesn't have a firm foundation, it collapses. What remains standing, on the other hand, grows stronger. The price of Saturn's rewards? Hard work.

Here are some key points of Saturnian energy (they affect both personal and collective levels):

Responsibility and Maturity

Saturn demands that we accept the consequences of our choices. Wherever it transits, it asks us to let go of excuses, dependencies, or evasions, and act with commitment. It's a transit that calls us to grow, though not always in a kind way.

Limits and Structure

Saturn clearly shows what cannot continue to expand unchecked. It confronts us with limits: of our bodies, of our time, of our resources. It forces us to organize, to set rules, to better define what is a priority and what is not.

Time and Waiting

Nothing under Saturn is immediate. Every process needs to mature. Wherever it travels, we learn that there are times that cannot be rushed and that some things are only achieved with perseverance, patience, and hard work.

Effort and Realism

Saturn eliminates the superfluous. What remains is what has a solid foundation. Wherever it goes, it demands sustained effort, practicality, and realistic decisions. There's no room for illusions: the need to see things as they are prevails.

Karma and Evaluation

Saturn is the planet of karma, that is, of divine balance. Wherever it transits, a feeling of being evaluated arises: by life, by one's surroundings, by oneself. Everything that hasn't been done well before comes to light to be corrected. Not as punishment, but as a lesson.

Reward and Mastery

Although often associated with restrictions, Saturn also grants lasting rewards. Wherever it passes, genuine work brings concrete achievements: recognition, stability, wisdom, and inner authority.

Loneliness and Withdrawal

Saturn also represents the need to retreat, to be with oneself. Wherever it travels, it's common to feel that others are unavailable or that we have to face certain things alone. This solitude is golden: it's a space to restructure our relationship with ourselves.

Guilt and Self-Criticism

Another Saturnian quality is its connection to internal judgment. It can intensify the critical voice, the feeling of not being up to par, of having to live up to an ideal. Wherever it moves, it is necessary to examine the origin of these internal demands and distinguish whether they come from a constructive place or from an inherited mandate.

Consolidation and Permanence

Saturn builds to last. Its processes may be slow, but they leave their mark. Wherever it goes, it's possible to start something that will last over time, provided the necessary work has been done to deserve it.

Saturn in Pisces (2023-2026): Giving Realistic Form to Desires

The beginning of Saturn's transit through Pisces brought with it a widespread feeling of disconnection, introspection, and emptiness . Saturn, passing through a sign as intangible as Pisces, inhibited many of its natural qualities : inspiration, faith, longing, deep sensitivity. Many people experienced a feeling of loss of meaning, of being left aside by God, the Universe, or whatever we want to call it . Saturn in this sign confronts us with the formless and the invisible, and in doing so, demands structure where there is none. Therefore, it was a transit with a strong ascetic charge, of emotional isolation, of facing unwanted loneliness, and also of confronting certain illusions held for too long .

At its most difficult, it brought spiritual disillusionment, diffuse fear, and a sadness that's hard to name . At its most mature (and probably starting in the second half of the transit), it pushed us to rebuild from scratch our relationship with the transcendent, with our internal states, and with the invisible , giving discipline to silence, practice to contemplation, and a realistic form to what was previously merely a wish. It also taught us an important lesson: that what we dream about may materialize, but it will never be exactly what we imagined. Learning to live with this partial loss is part of the challenge of Saturn in Pisces .

Saturn in Aries: Paving the Way Responsibly

Saturn's entry into Aries isn't just a sign change. This transit marks the beginning of a new 29.5-year collective cycle linked to everything Saturn represents: structure, responsibility, time, effort, authority, maturity. The transition from 29° of Pisces—the absolute end of the zodiac—to 0° of Aries—the absolute beginning—symbolically signals a historic reset , a stage of redefinition of order and reality. With Saturn here, the way we act, lead, and initiate processes undergoes structural revision.

But this isn't an easy transit. Saturn is in fall in Aries , which means it's unable to express its energy with fluidity or stability. Aries energy seeks to express itself with speed, decisiveness, and immediate action. On the other hand, Saturn needs time, revision, and endurance. Let's also consider that symbolically, Aries is the baby, and Saturn is the senior citizen. In other words, they couldn't be more different. As a result, in the first half of the transit, what predominates is exhaustion, the feeling that things aren't moving forward , tiredness, and frustration. Everything may cost more than seems reasonable . Beginnings are hampered, and initial impulses may be halted, delayed, or collapsed.

From a literal perspective, Saturn in fall in Aries can coincide with the collapse of specific structures : buildings, systems, hierarchies, power networks, institutions, engineering works, political or military infrastructure. Anything that was weak or based on unrealistic foundations tends to crumble. Saturn does not conserve what has no real internal structure. This transit marks a stage in which old forms of authority, leadership, control, or action enter into crisis . These collapses are what allow space to be created for something new .

The second half of the transit is often more fertile. What has fallen gives way to what can be built on a firm foundation. This is when the energy of the sign begins to solidify , when Aries ceases to be merely an impulse and becomes a direction. Saturn then allows new beginnings to be consolidated, for what is ours to be built with real effort, for action to have weight. But only if we were first able to distinguish which battles were worth fighting , which desires were authentic, and which were simply reactions, whims, or fantasies of self-affirmation.

On a collective level, this transition challenges the structures that promote impulsive individualism, empty leadership, or action without consequences. Models of autonomy, entrepreneurship, and personal authority are being tested. What was based on charisma or speed may falter. The ability to initiate responsibly, to act with direction, and to not skip steps will be increasingly valued. It won't be enough to have initiative: you'll have to take charge of what you start.

On a personal level, this square between drive and limit will feel like a constant demand to refine desire . It's not about discarding everything that doesn't work quickly—that would be one of the most common mistakes during this transit. Nor is it about forcing everything out of pride. Saturn in Aries doesn't ask us to do everything alone , but it does ask us to know what we truly want to build, and what we're willing to commit to, even when there are no guarantees.

This transition leaves behind empty struggles, half-baked plans, and egos that can't bear the weight of reality. What remains will be those that truly have direction, conviction, and the ability to mature in the long run .

The Last Two Transits of Saturn in Aries

Although we may not realize it on a daily basis, time has a cyclical quality. That is, while specific events may not repeat themselves identically, the archetypes and underlying energies do . This means that the emotions, challenges, and choices we face during one astrological cycle can be surprisingly similar to those of previous cycles. What really varies is how we respond to these energies and how our actions and decisions manifest in tangible actions. Thus, by understanding the past times Saturn has transited Aries, we can anticipate what will happen next.

Last Transit (1996-1999)

• July 5, 1996 – Dolly the Sheep ( sheep are ruled by Aries ) is born: the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. This event opened a new era in biotechnology, generating advances in regenerative medicine and bioethics. A pioneering experiment that forced governments to regulate the unthinkable.

• March 9, 1996 – First NetDay in the U.S .: More than 2,500 schools were connected to the Internet by volunteers. It was the beginning of an educational transformation that would be structured into lasting public policies. A collective act with a vision for the future.

• June 23, 1996 – Nintendo 64 launched : introduced the analog stick and 3D graphics, redefining the gaming experience. It set a new technical standard that lasted for over a decade.

• April 15, 1997 – Registration of the google.com domain : a small gesture with exponential effects. It preceded the creation of the world's largest search engine and the global organization of digital information.

• December 19, 1997 – “Titanic” premieres : not only did it break box office and awards records, but it also inaugurated a new form of global filmmaking, based on epic emotionality and blockbusters as the norm.

• March 24, 1998 – Iomega CEO Kim Edwards resigns : After projecting significant losses and facing criticism for strategic decisions, Edwards resigned. His departure highlighted the challenges of leadership in rapidly expanding technology companies.

• April 10, 1998 – Signing of the Good Friday Agreement : the institutional end to the conflict in Northern Ireland. A risky political decision that reorganized the region's civic and legislative life.

• May 21, 1998 – Suharto resigns in Indonesia : After 32 years of authoritarian rule, his fall marked the beginning of a democratic transition that transformed the country's power structure.

• January 12, 1999 – Britney Spears' album “…Baby One More Time” was released : the beginning of a new era in the pop industry. A debut that established the model for the teen star and reshaped the music industry's commercial strategies.

• January 1, 1999 – Official implementation of the euro : eleven European countries adopt the same currency. The act institutionalizes a common economic structure, transforming the notion of monetary sovereignty on the continent.

Penultimate Transit (1967-1969)

• June 5, 1967 – Start of the Six-Day War : Israel launches a preemptive strike that radically changes the borders and balance of power in the Middle East. This brief but decisive offensive ushered in a new regional architecture, with lasting effects on global politics.

• June 16-18, 1967 – Monterey International Pop Festival : The first major modern music festival in the U.S. inaugurated a new cultural model: massive, diverse, electrified. It was the debut of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin before enormous audiences, and the direct precursor to Woodstock. A collective expression of freedom and youthful identity that would become the norm.

• June 27, 1967 – Installation of the first ATM : Barclays Bank in London inaugurates the first ATM. A new, simple device, but one that forever reshaped the relationship between users and the financial system. A small gesture that reorganized an entire structure.

• November 29, 1967 – Robert McNamara resigns : U.S. Secretary of Defense resigns in the midst of the Vietnam War. His role, linked to the design of the conflict, collapses under the weight of his own contradictions. His departure heralds the dismantling of certain forms of authority and military leadership.

• October 21, 1967 – March on the Pentagon : More than 100,000 people protest the war with symbolic acts of creative disobedience. Attempting to “levitate the Pentagon” wasn’t just a provocation: it was a call to reimagine power from the collective. An unprecedented gesture that founded a new aesthetic of protest.

• January 5, 1968 – Beginning of the Prague Spring : Alexander Dubček pushes for internal reforms in Czechoslovakia that sought to democratize socialism. Although crushed in August, these bold measures redefined what was possible within authoritarian regimes. A nascent structure was violently interrupted.

• January 30, 1968 – Tet Offensive : A surprise Viet Cong counteroffensive changes the narrative of the war. What seemed under control is revealed to be a conflict with no way out. This turn of events fractures the credibility of the U.S. government and alters military strategy forever.

• April 4, 1968 – Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr .: A figure who represented the moral direction of the civil rights movement falls. His death doesn't halt the process, but pushes it into a new, more fragmented and radicalized phase. During Saturn transits in Aries, figures who embody the original impulse often fall or are displaced.

• June 5, 1968 – Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy : The senator was one of the last representatives of idealistic leadership within the establishment. His death leaves a symbolic void. Another promising figure who fails to survive a climate of transition.

• October 16, 1968 – Olympic podium protest : Tommie Smith and John Carlos raise their fists at the Mexico City Games in protest of racial discrimination. This gesture established a new relationship between politics and sport, which remains a model of resistance to this day.

• April 28, 1969 – Charles de Gaulle resigns : after his constitutional reforms were rejected, he resigns. Founder of the Fifth Republic, his fall marks the end of a historic era in France. Saturn in Aries shows that even the Founding Fathers are not exempt from the cycle of decline when the structure can no longer renew itself from within.

Saturn in Aries and the Leader's Sacrifice

As we can see, during Saturn's transits in Aries, we frequently observe a clearly repeating pattern: leaders who fall, powerful figures who are displaced or eliminated after fulfilling their founding role. This isn't just about political changes—such as the resignation of De Gaulle or McNamara—nor only about tragedies like the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. or Robert Kennedy. What emerges is the logic that in these periods, the figure of the leader becomes the point where a cycle that must be closed is condensed.

This process has been addressed from multiple disciplines. The French anthropologist and philosopher René Girard, known for his theory of mimetic desire and the scapegoat mechanism, proposed that societies, in times of crisis or accumulated tension, tend to channel collective conflict toward a figure who can be sacrificed. This symbolic or literal elimination momentarily restores order. The leader, then, not only represents power, but also the tension that power can no longer contain.

In the case of Saturn in Aries, the leader embodies the founding impulse of Aries—assertion, action, conquest—and Saturn puts him to the test. When that impulse can no longer grow, when it can no longer institutionalize itself, the system requires renewal. And the price of that renewal is often the downfall of the one who paved the way.

This doesn't necessarily imply injustice. Sometimes, as in the case of De Gaulle or McNamara, these are political decisions that seal a cycle. Other times, as in the 1968 assassinations, the sacrifice is literal. But in all cases, there's a clear pattern: the pioneering leader is called to account by the establishment . Saturn puts an end to what has already served its purpose. Aries initiates, but Saturn decides what deserves to endure.

This pattern repeats itself over and over again during periods when Saturn transits Aries.

Aries Restructurings: What to Expect with Saturn in Aries from 2025 to 2028

At the Collective Level:

• Wear and tear of leadership based only on charisma or drive:

Saturn in Aries demands concrete results. Leadership figures who base their influence solely on charisma, boldness, or personal strength will begin to face limits. This transit exposes the structural flaws behind impulsive, authoritarian, or excessively individualistic leadership styles.

• Reconfiguration of the concept of initiative and autonomy:

The exaltation of "do it yourself" and self-affirmation are put to the test. A profound review of how autonomy is built over time begins: what it really means to start something, and how to take charge of it.

• Discipline over impulse:

Rapid, reactive, or anger-based actions lose effectiveness. Saturn limits the scope of impulses, forces us to evaluate consequences, and pushes those who act without reflection to assume responsibility. This transit can be uncomfortable for cultures or systems that value speed over consistency.

• Structural review of the concept of the masculine or the martial:

Aries rules the warlike, the traditional masculine, the active body. Saturn in this sign can generate restrictions, questions, and reforms around these issues: models of masculinity, armed forces, security forces, military forces, or sports may be subject to new regulations or restructuring.

• Conflicts due to excessive confrontation or polarization:

Excessive confrontation or the imposition of one's own desire over another's encounters limits. Saturn marks structural consequences for unbridled individualism, both politically and socially. This transit may coincide with moments of tension that force us to redefine how conflicts are resolved.

• Saturation or decline of “me first” discourses:

The exaltation of ego, of entrepreneurship without community, of action without connections, may begin to show its limits. Saturn confronts the structural fatigue of systems that reward competition over collaboration. The costs of isolation, of excessive self-sufficiency, or of action without collective consciousness become evident.

• Beginning of lasting structures born from autonomy:

On the other hand, this transit is also fertile for those willing to build upon their individuality with effort, persistence, and long-term vision. Saturn in Aries can give rise to pioneering projects, solid ventures, and more sober and authentic leadership models, if there is commitment and work behind them.

• Review of the body as a vehicle of action:

Aries rules the mind, reflexes, and direct responses. Saturn in this sign can bring greater awareness of the body as a tool, a limit, and a channel of action in the world. The relationship between physical discipline, health, and self-control deepens. More rigid or demanding structures may also emerge in the world of sports or physical performance.

• Start of structural reforms in military or defense areas:

There may be a restructuring of armies, armed forces, police forces, or national defense strategies. Technologies related to the use of force, speed, reaction, or conflict containment are also being reviewed.

• Construction of new models of individual leadership:

Opportunities open up for stronger leadership, less bombastic, and more focused on example, perseverance, and sustained action. This transit doesn't reward immediate impact, but rather the ability to sustain a clear direction over time.

On a Personal Level:

1. Confrontation with what has not been started

Saturn in Aries puts the spotlight on long-delayed decisions. What we knew we should begin—but avoided out of fear, insecurity, or lack of structure—now becomes unavoidable. It's a transit that pushes us to take responsibility for our own beginnings, to stop waiting for validation, and to take concrete action, even if there are no guarantees.

2. Building a firmer and more mature identity

This transit can mark a turning point in the way we see ourselves. Saturn calls for inner solidity, not just drive. Many people will find themselves leaving behind an immature or reactive image of themselves and beginning to build a more stable identity, more committed to what they truly want to sustain over time.

3. Discipline to sustain what is started

Starting something isn't enough. Saturn in Aries demands commitment, sustained effort, and clear direction. This transit tests our ability to persist on our chosen path, especially when the rewards aren't immediate. It invites us to stop reacting and start acting responsibly, even when no one is pushing us.

4. Constructive solitude

Many people are likely to experience periods of isolation, as an opportunity to build without distractions. Saturn in Aries shows that there are processes that require withdrawal, concentration, and moving forward without company or approval.

5. Ego and pride assessment

During this transit, there may be confrontations with one's self-image, especially if it has been built on reactions, overcompensation, or external expectations. Saturn doesn't reward empty self-affirmation, but rather sincere work, humility in the face of what remains to be developed, and the courage to learn from mistakes while continuing to move forward.

6. Defining an individual purpose with a real basis

This transit leads many to ask themselves what they want to start that's truly worthwhile, what personal projects are ready to move from wishful thinking to structure. Saturn in Aries offers the possibility of building something of your own, but it demands commitment to every step of the process. It's a fertile time for sowing, if you accept the effort involved.

7. Frustration at the limits of the body or desire

Aries rules the body, the vital fire, the will. Saturn imposes restrictions: fatigue, blockages, delays. This can generate frustration or anger, but it also offers the opportunity to learn to regulate energy, recognize one's own rhythms, and avoid burnout due to impulsiveness.

8. Beginning of a new personal leadership

Saturn in Aries asks that Each person must become their own role model. They must learn to lead themselves, organize their energy, and act with internal coherence. It's a transition to assuming authority over themselves. It's time to stop putting off their own business and start walking with direction.

Cancerian Restructurings

Although Saturn is transiting through Aries, its passage will also directly impact Cancer, as this sign is located at 90° to Aries in the zodiac. This angle forms a square: a tense aspect that pushes for change and readjustment. Therefore, although the focus is on Aries, we can also expect restructuring in the areas ruled by Cancer:

• Tightening housing and property policies

Access to housing isn't necessarily facilitated: it's regulated. Saturn marks a halt to uncontrolled urban growth, tightens credit, restricts social policies, and forces governments and families to rethink their housing models. Controls, limitations, and legal limits are activated.

• Control over migration and redefinition of roots

Cancer governs territorial belonging, the feeling of "this is my place." Saturn in Aries, tense, marks boundaries. Stricter laws regarding nationality, residency, or asylum are implemented. A demand to "deserve to belong" may also emerge: to work, pay, demonstrate usefulness. Rootedness becomes something earned—not inherited.

• Pressure on care and emotionality

In everyday life, many people may feel like there's "no time to feel." Emotional matters take a backseat to urgent matters. The need to organize emotions, contain them, and "be strong," even when they're at their limit, increases. Caregivers—mothers, grandmothers, and other caregivers—face more responsibility with less support.

• Redefinition of maternal rights

Motherhood, traditionally associated with Cancer, enters a period of demands and restrictions. There's more pressure on work-life balance, or motherhood models that require self-sufficiency. There may also be debate about what is protected: the maternal role or productivity?

• Reduction of the private: the home as a controlled space

Saturn in Aries brings the public sphere inward. The home ceases to be an invisible refuge and becomes supervised: inspections, procedures, regulations. The presence of the state or corporations within the domestic space increases, whether for fiscal, health, or digital reasons. Privacy becomes a limited resource.

• Harshness in handling inheritances and family memory

Inherited structures (economic, symbolic, even emotional) are put on trial. There may be tensions over material inheritances, disputes over family homes, the need to organize documents, or sever ties.

• Reconfiguration of care time

Time—the quintessential Saturnian resource—becomes scarcer. Raising, accompanying, caring: all of this must adapt to more demanding rhythms. Rest time, time with children or the elderly, or time at home are compressed.

Libran Restructurings

Libra is in opposition to Aries, and therefore, Saturn's passage through this sign not only activates individual initiatives but also tests collective balance, norms of coexistence, and social ties . Saturn in Aries puts pressure on Libra from an individual perspective: it demands personal responsibility for pacts, ties, and institutions that were previously sustained by balance or formality.

• Reconfiguration of marriage as a legal contract

Under Saturn in Aries, traditional marriage faces demands for reform: the contractual model no longer responds to the reality of relationships. Personalized civil unions, unconventional prenuptial agreements, and separations organized with rationality rather than drama are on the rise. What was once a "forever" union is now evaluated from a perspective of autonomy: what am I willing to accept, legally and emotionally?

• Crisis of legitimacy in judicial systems

Libra rules justice; Saturn in Aries poses a direct question: who enforces the law and with what authority? This transit could bring polarizing rulings, executive-imposed reforms, or public trials where legality and morality clash.

• Weakening of diplomacy in the face of unilateralism

Multilateral institutions may enter into crisis. Unilateral actions, governments breaking treaties, and decisions without consensus are on the rise. Saturn in Aries embodies the actor who doesn't negotiate: he acts. This could lead to a collapse in diplomatic logic, forcing a rethinking of the concept of international balance.

• Reduction or bureaucratization of spaces for social dialogue

Consensus doesn't disappear, but it is regulated and restricted. Technical committees, pre-established formats, and consultation mechanisms fail to open up genuine deliberative spaces. In many cases, individual (or executive) decisions are imposed over collective agreement. Conversation is replaced by procedure.

• Rationalized aesthetics: beauty becomes functional

Saturn in Aries cuts through the ornamental and demands utility. In art, design, and fashion, this can manifest itself in a more sober, more structured, more industrial aesthetic. Libra's harmonious ideal is challenged by a search for functionality, clear lines, and visible purpose. Beauty with utility, not just form.

• Restriction of luxury and symbolic Libran materials

Industries such as jewelry, interior design, decor, and even the art market may experience a phase of austerity. The symbolic value of materials like copper or diamonds is questioned or regulated for environmental or ethical reasons. Luxury is redefined as burden or excess.

• Tensions between individualism and cooperation

In everyday life, it may feel like collaborating implies losing autonomy. Saturn in Aries demands that everyone take charge of their own affairs, which can strain work, romantic, and community ties. Tacit agreements are less valued and explicit boundaries more.

• Transformation of international treaties and pacts

Some bilateral or multilateral treaties may be revised, restricted, or terminated. Not necessarily due to hostility, but because conditions have changed and it is no longer considered useful to maintain outdated agreements.

• A thorough review of what is meant by “social justice”

There is a pressing need to redefine who benefits from a system, what constitutes equity, and what constitutes a disproportionate burden. Collective action is organized according to more demanding, more hierarchical, or more pragmatic criteria.

Capricornian Restructurings

Capricorn is in a square with Aries, and so, during Saturn's transit through Aries, Capricorn's structures come under strain. When Saturn—Capricorn's own ruler—transits through Aries, it does so from an uncomfortable place: it demands new structure, even at the cost of fracturing the old.

• Collapse of vertical power models

Hierarchical structures face pressure from below. Middle managers make decisions, younger generations demand direct participation, teams reorganize without waiting for authorization. Saturn in Aries doesn't seek to destroy authority, but rather to debureaucratize it, streamline it, or displace it if it becomes an obstacle.

• End of automatic obedience in organizational systems

Businesses, institutions, and state structures face the question: Why do we obey? Who do we follow? Does this model make sense? There's a pressing need to redefine leadership. Those who don't act are excluded.

• Harsh reforms to labor and professional systems

Abrupt changes in employment rules, working conditions, and pension systems. Benefit reductions, productivity demands, and pressure for individual results. Collective action takes a backseat. Work as a structure becomes more rigid. What was once a race can now feel like a permanent competition.

• Tension between the entrepreneur and the corporate structure

Saturn in Aries favors the self-starter, the self-starter, the one who builds from the ground up. In opposition, many traditional Capricorn structures—such as large corporations—may experience talent drain, decentralization, or internal fragmentation.

• Forced review of social control mechanisms

Cameras, databases, surveillance, and evaluation systems are losing efficiency. They are no longer sufficient to contain the speed of change. New forms of control are emerging, more direct but also more rudimentary. The traditional system is exposed as slow or outdated.

• Crisis in the reward and punishment system

What previously served as motivation (promotions, recognition, stability) loses value in the face of new, more immediate forms of legitimacy. The logic of long-term effort is replaced by quick results. Capricorn is forced to review its merit system.

• Tensions in the world of infrastructure and heavy engineering

The need to modernize bridges, networks, and aging structures is accelerating. There may also be unilateral decisions that cut deadlines or ignore protocols, with unforeseeable consequences. Solidity confronts urgency.

• Redefining political leadership

Traditional leaders are challenged by more pragmatic, more direct, and less institutional figures. Automatic respect for track record diminishes. Legitimacy is measured by concrete action: "If you don't do it, you're useless."

• Reorganization of the role of older people

There may be debates about mandatory retirement, productivity, or the place of experience versus innovation.

• Rewriting the concept of success

Capricorn values steady advancement. Aries values immediate achievement. Saturn, transiting Aries, redefines what it means to "reach high": now it's not about climbing slowly, but rather daring to build where there is nothing. Prestige becomes less hierarchical and more associated with the ability to do things.

Questions to Reflect on During Saturn in Aries:

• Am I up to this challenge?

• Can I do it alone, without following anyone's example?

• How can I stay on my own path, even when no one else recognizes it and the process becomes lonely?

• What things do I shy away from without even starting?

• What aspects do I need to mature to achieve that goal?

• What things have I not started for fear of exposing myself or standing out?

• What do I really want to start, even if I have no guarantee of success?

• What things is it time to create on my own, without waiting for someone else to give me permission?

• What do I need to gain more persistence in and not become impatient with?

• What things do I do alone to cover up an insecurity?

• Am I afraid of competition?

• Can I maintain my autonomy without isolating myself from others?

Key Dates Within This Transit

Saturn-Neptune Conjunctions: August 2025 and February 2026

We will have two significant conjunctions between Saturn and Neptune in Aries in the near future. The first, not exact, will occur in July–August 2025 at 1° of Aries; the second, this time exact, will take place in February 2026 at 0°. Both will mark the beginning of a new 36-year cycle. However, as both planets will retrograde back to Pisces before settling permanently in Aries, this period will be marked by false starts and adjustments . Nothing will be completely defined the first time.

On a collective level, these conjunctions are traditionally associated with the collapse of seemingly immovable structures: governments, empires, systems that had been sustained by inertia for too long . The last time they came together was in 1989, a year that coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the end of a form of global organization. Saturn and Neptune together tend to dissolve the previous order to make way for another , even if a void remains first.

On a personal level, this transition confronts our limits regarding what we yearn for . It forces us to honestly examine which of our dreams can become something concrete, and which ones must be let go because they no longer have substance. We must recognize what can be built—even if it requires effort—and stop nurturing what is only sustained by evasion or unrealistic expectations.

During the years of Neptune in Pisces, a fantasy of dissolving the individual self prevailed: the need to belong, to fit in, to fit in. An emotional, social, and aesthetic conformity. The ideal of being "like everyone else," even if that meant giving up one's own voice. With the Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Aries, that mold begins to crack. The new cycle will invite us to recover initiative, authenticity, and direction.

These conjunctions will have their own blog post, where we'll explore their symbolism, history, and what might come with them in depth.

Square with Jupiter in Cancer: June 14, 2025

This square marks a structural conflict between two fundamental forces: Saturn in Aries, which demands building independently, taking risks, and breaking away from the old to open new paths, and Jupiter in Cancer, which seeks expansion through caring, belonging, and protecting the familiar. The result: tension between the individualistic impulse and the desire to preserve collective security .

At the collective level, this aspect can translate into conflicts between those who demand institutional renewal or direct action , and those who defend family, cultural, or national structures as spaces that must be protected. There may also be clashes between authorities or leaders who represent collective duty (Saturn) and others who appeal to the well-being, affection, or emotional protection of the people (Jupiter in Cancer).

This transit could manifest itself in friction between generations, between social classes, or between urban and traditional sectors , reflecting a disagreement over what deserves to be preserved and what should be left behind. The square between Saturn and Jupiter often marks moments of crisis of meaning around what we consider correct : should we act from individual responsibility, even if it breaks certain ties? Or should we protect the emotional fabric, even if it hinders the new?

Opposition with Mars in Libra: August 9, 2025

This aspect is sure to be very frustrating: Saturn in Aries is in fall , and Mars in Libra is in detriment and is Saturn's ruler . It's a clash between two debilitated planets, where neither can operate with complete clarity or firmness. Saturn tries to structure from impulse, but stumbles. Mars seeks to act through consensus, but hesitates, wavers, or gives in.

At the collective level, this opposition may reflect political or diplomatic deadlocks in which urgent structural decisions are required, but stable agreements cannot be reached . Leadership crises, disagreements in strategic alliances, broken pacts, or negotiations that fail at the crucial moment are likely to arise. Tactical errors may also occur in conflict contexts, where the reaction is clumsy, ineffective, or contrary to the real objective.

In the social sphere, it could be evidenced a strong polarization between the unilateral imposition of measures (Saturn in Aries) and the search for impossible balances (Mars in Libra), which generates institutional paralysis, protests due to lack of action or discontent in the face of decisions that satisfy neither side.

Saturn RX Leaves Aries: August 31, 2025

On July 13, 2025 , Saturn begins its retrograde motion . And as part of that retrograde motion, on August 31, it will re-enter Pisces , momentarily leaving Aries. Saturn will then retrograde until degree 25° of Pisces, which means that you will have to cross the threshold again between the degree 29° of Pisces and the 0° of Aries , a particularly significant zone, since it marks the passage between the end and the absolute beginning of the zodiac.

This re-entry into Pisces suggests a forced review of many things that had already been in motion since March. What started weakly, without real conviction, or with unclear structures, will show cracks. We'll have to go back, dismantle what had been hastily built, identify fundamental errors , and, in many cases, start over from a different place .

This reverse crossing from the 0° of Aries into the final degrees of Pisces also implies a review of the desire to move forward without having closed the gaps . There are unfinished business, gray areas, emotional burdens, or internal structures that still need to be dissolved or transformed. What was unresolved and continues to drag on from behind will become evident.

It won't be unusual for delays, cancellations, resignations, or decisions to be reversed during this period, especially in matters related to leadership, personal direction, important beginnings, or emerging structures. Anything worthwhile will be revisited later.

Final Entry into Aries: February 14, 2026

On this day, Saturn definitively enters Aries, where it will remain until April 13, 2028.

Square with the Lunar Nodes: April 1, 2028

On April 1, 2028, Saturn in Aries forms an exact square with the North Node in Capricorn and the South Node in Cancer . This aspect marks a turning point in the transit, generating tension that pushes us to evolve and seek new structures and hierarchies. At this time, there may be a lot of resistance to change , or attempts to continue pushing forward on paths that have already run their course. On a collective level, this may be reflected in institutional crises , exhaustion of certain leaderships, or saturation of models that no longer respond to real needs.

Saturn Leaves Aries: April 13, 2028

On April 13, 2028, Saturn finally enters Taurus, concluding its journey through Aries for the next 26 years.
