This year is filled with vast astrological movements. We are crossing thresholds and beginning new eras. We are experiencing transits that as a collective, we haven’t experienced for decades and even centuries. Following the movement of Neptune into Aries earlier this year, we’re about to meet our next major astrological event—the entry of Saturn into Aries.
When Will Saturn Be in Aries?
Saturn will enter Aries on May 24, 2025 until September 2, 2025, when it will retrograde back into Pisces for a final few months. On February 15, 2026, we mark the reentry of Saturn into Aries, where it will remain for the next few years until April 14, 2028.
What Does Saturn in Aries Mean?
Spending roughly 2 and a half years in each zodiac sign, Saturn takes approximately 30 years to travel through the entire zodiac. As it crosses the threshold from our final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, into our first sign, Aries, it begins that journey once again, rebirthing itself into a new 30-year cycle.
Saturn is our planet of legacy. It is the mark we want to make on this tangible, grounded world in which we exist. This planet is our initiation into maturation, adulthood, wisdom, and self-mastery. It asks for commitment to our way, tangible building of our dreams, and patience as we ground our aspirations into form.
Aries is our first sign of the zodiac. It is fire and inspiration. It is new beginnings, the spark of becoming, and the courage to move, act, and create our desires. It is a sign of selfhood and bold movement, identity and self-assertion.
As Saturn travels through the realm of Aries, its expression, purpose, and movements are filtered through the lens of this sign— within our cosmos as well as within our bodies, psyche, emotions, and outer lives.
Whereas Aries is beginnings, Saturn is long-term commitment, continuity, and maturation. Whereas Aries is speed and passion, desire and courage, Saturn is grounded building, sacred responsibility, and quiet patience.
Together they invite us into a kind of self-mastery. Here we intentionally direct our energy into purposeful movement. We initiate sparks of inspiration that become a slow burn and a reliable resource to build, create, and cause change. We begin to own our space, become our own authority, and tap into a quiet inner strength through our devotion to our vision. And we develop a new relationship with patience, persistence, courage, time, boundaries, and action.
These two planetary bodies birthing themselves anew in Aries invite courage to act on our desires, to commit to our visions, and to recreate ourselves in the process.
How to Navigate Saturn in Aries, According to Your Astrological Sign
Similar to Neptune’s reentry into Aries in March, Saturn in Aries 2025 acts as a space of preparation. These months are our time to open ourselves to the way this vibe desires to move through us and the invitations it calls us to experience.
When Saturn reenters Aries in February 2026, this is when we truly arrive. This is when we become the living embodiments of Saturn in Aries for the next few years—devotion to dreams, the tangible building of visions, tapped into our own understanding of legacy, impact, and self-mastery. Essentially, it’s when you learn how to move in a way that is sustainable, on purpose, efficient, and true to what exists within you. Until then, the months to come are an introduction and a time to practice. Your horoscope explains how. Read for your rising sign.
