How can you prepare for the Saturn return if you have Saturn in Aries?

Before the Saturn return, when you are having a good time or at least you’re not struggling with a debilitating crisis, you can start preparing for this transit.

The best way to do so is by giddying up your nervous system.

These are some simple practices that you can find helpful:

Having an analog hobby

Reading

Gardening

Baking

Spending time in nature

Doing sports or physical activity

Breathing exercises

Grounding

I know that this list sounds kind of naive or dumb in a world that is in shambles.

Still, I consider that going back to basics can provide a foundation from which to make structural changes in your existence.

Try to find practices that make you feel good.

Not in a self destructive way, but in a calm and relaxed way.

The astrological meaning of being Gen Z

I like to think that Millennials have Pluto in Scorpio in their birth chart and Gen Zers have Pluto in Sagittarius in their birth chart.

In 2025, if you have Saturn in Pisces, you’ll experience the last lessons of your Saturn return when Saturn goes retrograde.

Retrograde planets in astrology

When we say that a planet is retrograde, we mean that it appears to be moving backward from our perspective on Earth.

Retrogradation is not a physical phenomenon since planets orbit the Sun and never move backward. It’s connected to our perspective from Earth.

The time a planet is retrograde depends on its distance from Earth: the farther away it is from Earth, the longer it will be retrograde.

Venus and Mars, the two planets closest to Earth, spend the least part of their cycle retrograde, while Pluto, the farthest planet, is retrograde for the longest time.

Saturn spends around 135 days a year in its retrograde motion.

Saturn retrograde in the birth chart indicates that the native has a certain degree of internalization of the principles that the planet represents. This means that you could be more serious or strict than someone born with a direct Saturn in their natal chart.

Saturn retrograde

Retrograde planets often have a terrible reputation in astrology, and I don't understand why.

The retrogradation of a planet is not an anomaly, an error, or an exceptional situation.

It is part of the predictable, measurable, and cyclical movement of the planet in question, Saturn, in this case.

Saturn is retrograde for about 135 days a year. That's quite a bit.

And that's why I find it strange when I read sensationalist publications about the retrogradation of the planet of the rings.

I don't believe the world stops when this planet is retrograde, nor do I think that people born with this retrograde planet have received some punishment.

That’s not the core meaning of being born with a planet in retrograde motion.

Saturn retrogrades every year and sometimes goes over mathematical degrees it has already covered, returning to the previous zodiac sign. When it goes to the previous sign, you have some sort of break during your Saturn return.

Your Saturn return can bring you breakthroughs and clarity in terms of the responsibilities that you have to assume. Sometimes, it’s a bit too much, but it’s also good that you’re stepping up to the role and finally feel like an adult.

Eclipses in astrology

Moon and solar eclipses occur two times per year.

Each time is known as eclipse season, and the most strange events could happen during this window.

Eclipses will have a specific impact depending on your birth chart and the zodiac signs where they occur.

But they are the wildcard in astrology, so you have to expect the unexpected.

This is the spoiler alert of the Saturn return: Everything feels heavy at first, and you think that you have to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life. But slowly, you’ll notice you have more time than you think.
