Cosmic Shift: Saturn Enters Aries

On May 24, 2025, Saturn enters Aries. New beginnings, whether you want them or not. 

Saturn, the taskmaster and disciplinarian of our solar system, will briefly enter into Aries on May 24, 2025. On July 13, 2025, Saturn turns retrograde, and then on September 1, 2025, Saturn dips back into Pisces for a quick goodbye. Saturn will re-enter Aries on February 13, 2026, until  April 12, 2028. 

Saturn was last in Aries between April 1996 and February 1999.

What to expect when Saturn transits in Aries 

When Saturn transits through the zodiac sign of Aries, it is said to be in Fall, a weakened position. Planets positioned in their Fall make an individual struggle to understand and express the traits, abilities, and gifts of that planet. Saturn in a Fall position tends to overcompensate by either retreating into passive-aggressive behaviors or, conversely, individuals can become defensive, self-centered, and ruthlessly ambitious. The lessons of this placement are to develop independence and resourcefulness, build authentic strength of character, and be responsibly assertive. 

When Saturn transits through Aries, it’s time to evaluate our personal growth. Are we mature enough to accept new challenges? Are we ready to explore self-discovery? Can we stay on track, remain focused, direct our energies, restructure our ambitions, and complete our plans? Are we prepared to embrace a new level of independence? If you have been lazy, not living up to your potential, cutting corners, or constantly procrastinating, Saturn will be paying you a special visit. 

Saturn’s shift into Aries comes when four other outer planets have entered or will enter new signs. Saturn Aries wants to lead the way, helping to forge a new path for those who are brave enough to follow.

Are you having your Saturn Return? 

For some, Saturn entering Aries will be a rite of passage.

You will be having your Saturn return if you were born 

April 25, 1937 – March 19, 1940

March 4, 1967 – April 29, 1969 

April 7, 1996 – February 28, 1999 

Or you are ages: 

28 -30, 58-60, and 87 – 89 years old. Uncertain? Ask your Astrologer. 

The Saturn return is a significant cosmic event that occurs approximately every 28- 29 years and lasts approximately 2.5 years.

The Saturn return cycle often presents intense challenges that can be transformative. During one’s Saturn return, it is common to experience important milestones, like getting married or receiving a promotion. For some, there is the realization that dramatic life changes for personal growth or to take advantage of a new opportunity need to happen. Often during a Saturn return, an individual will have to take on new responsibilities, leading to important changes in their life.

• The first Saturn return occurs around the ages of 28 to 30 and can compel us to embrace adulthood.
• The second Saturn return occurs around 58-60, prompting us to reflect on the latter half of our lives and consider what comes next.

To be prepared for this significant milestone, I recommend booking a consultation before your Saturn return. https://wildmercury.biz/product/saturn-return/
