Saturn and the Pisceans

Everyone wants to know about how Saturn in Pisces is affecting Pisceans…or perhaps a sign opposite (waves to Virgo) but what if it’s the other way around? Maybe we should be asking how Saturn is holding up? Pisceans can subvert anything.

As illustrated above, they’re the zodiac sign that can go from solemn contemplation of their teeth, taxes, mortality, lineage and other weighty Saturn themes to high-end magic, artistic fantasy direction (yes, actually a job description in Pisces-land) and transcendental romance.

Now any of the Mutable signs – Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini – can flip in and out of mundanity mode with relative ease but Pisces does it faster. Not only that, they accomplish their escape artiste stunts via methods that are unknown to many, even the Pisces.

So yes of course Saturn is still exerting it’s heavy metal influence on Twin-Fish folk. They could even be a bit giddy from all the common sense – like a psychic form of ‘the bends’, when divers emerge from the ocean and have problems adjusting to the air pressure.

Even the most mild-seeming Piscean navigates by extremes. For example, they can alternate between their budgeting method being “I stop spending when all my cards are declined” to people who will spreadsheet their expenses down to the bone and vigorously confront large corporations over even a $2 over-charge.

Of course it’s inexplicable and zany-seeming to others. It also means that any poor judgment calls are flamboyant or good gossip fodder for more moderate souls. But the Pisces method can work and nobody – least of all the Pisces – knows precisely how. Even more weirdly, most people don’t want to know how they did/do it.

As a result, Piscean conjurings and bizarre ways of discovering things they need to know have become a trade secret. Faced with the barrage of mundane pressures that Saturn in a sign can present, they were first deflated, then outraged and from around about now…calculating.

As I said in Rogue Pisces, Fish-Folk have an opportunity to gather all of the weirdness and circuitous process since Neptune in Pisces (2011) and manifest it as substantial worldly success.

This is why rather than talking about poor Pisceans with Saturn blighting their every move, perhaps it’s time to check on how Saturn is going. Because right now, tight knees and rage against administrivia aside, Pisceans are deciding that they just might have what it takes to reinvent mundanity.

Saturn may never be the same again.
