Saturn Enters Pisces 2023

After six years in his home domains (Capricorn, followed by Aquarius), Saturn enters Pisces and a new shift in the collective takes place. Saturn leaves the realms of strict boundaries and fixed ideas for that of more magic. More flow. More soul. Being a planet that represents the collective, this shift into the last sign of the zodiac brings about a much needed shift into the power and possibilities that live within what the eyes cannot see. What the mind cannot know.

It brings in a dose of compassion; of faith and hope, of dreams materializing. And - possibly a feeling of a lack of control; of having to monitor one’s own boundaries to make sure you’re only carrying what’s yours. It’s a time of great possibility, if we lead from our inner magician, our inner poet and mystic.

In true Pisces fashion, I’ve written a poem as a way to feel into this shift in energy in the collective. And for members of the Patreon, there’s an in-depth video going into the specifics (and past) of this transit - you can find out more here! Enjoy!

Saturn in Pisces: The Raven

He swoops in with a palpable silence,
Perched on the highest branch, observing the creatures below.
He is still in his stance,
Unwavering as the tree dances beneath him. 
Black feathers glistening with magic; with stories untold and wisdom embedded in each fibre.

To the novice eye, he is menacing.
His black feathers an omen of forces unseen; of dark matter.
His stillness, his watching, a confining presence.
As if one wrong step and he'll swoop down and attack. 

But whether you see him as friend or foe is entirely up to you. 

And so he smiles crookedly, excited that his time has come.
He is ready to initiate those willing into his ways -

Into his magic. 

He is the patient watcher
The wise teacher.
He is the Keeper of secrets; of deeper knowledge that beckons you forth.
He is the Guardian between this world and the next,
this mundane reality for one filled with limitless possibilities. 
He brings death into life, wholeness into being. 

And He will watch you. 
Patiently, intently, as you carry about your days. 
He will ask if you've remembered to thank your fairies. 
He will listen as you tell him your dreams. 

He will hide amongst the trees, merging into darkness,
leaving you wondering if he still traverses this world. 
But if you forget him, you will hear his call.

He will call out relentlessly, ruthlessly, when we forget the deeper reason 
of why we do what we do.
He will remind you that you are a magician in this life. 
That you are part of this world and the next, able to fly between the two, 
just as he. 
That our inner imaginings are the first step in creating our outer realities.
And he will caw at you incessantly if you have gone astray from remembering your own sovereignty in creating that. 

He will remind you that so much more lies beyond the rigid constructs that have contained us so far. 
He will remind you that true power comes from faith; from hope. 
From surrender.
From the remembrance that the river flows, the blossom unfurls, the robin sings because that is who they are. 
In cosmic union with the Universe. 
And so are you. 

And when he knows you believe in your bones that you are your own guru, 
your own teacher,
he unfurls his wings in a great, black expanse,
silently gliding into no-thingness;
Into the blazing sun and the darkness of night. 
Reminding us that we are the same. 
That we are the Keepers of our own wisdom, 
of our own Power.
