On March 21st, 2020, Saturn changed signs from practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius, where it journeyed until July 1st, 2020. This was a preview of what’s to come in December of 2020, when Saturn makes its second move into Aquarius on Dec. 17th, this time until March 2023.
Saturn feels pretty comfortable in Aquarius, as it is the traditional ruler of this air-sign and therefore “co-rules” it together with Uranus (the modern ruler); it is inviting us to look for practical applications of group consciousness, our inventions, ideas, future visions, etc. This transit could also teach us that there is freedom and liberation in abiding by particular rules — but it’s best to avoid rigid thinking.
So, until March 2023, we are invited to…

So, until March 2023, we are invited to look for practical applications for our future visions. We may well be firming up our ideas for the future — this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our affiliations with like-minded people — so we could likewise be firming up our networks.
Saturn in Aquarius also reminds us that before we can think about what we want to build or bring forth, we need to look at the implications this has on all of humanity or our larger communities, and get to the core of what we envision for everyone.
It asks us to take responsibility for our part in the collective, turning a critical eye to everything that we envision for our future, and taking on an objective, scientific approach. We are individually and collectively invited to clarify our collective thoughts.
Saturn in Aquarius also reminds us that in order to realize our visions, we need to look at their practical implications — we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time, something of value to a larger percentage of society, not just to a few.
Think back to the period between Feb. 1991 and May 1993, as well as July 1993 – Jan. 1994 (the last times Saturn made this journey): What did you accomplish back then, in regards to building networks, or focusing on a long-term vision for yourself and/or humanity at large? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience? Or set better boundaries?
By the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first “Saturn Return” within the next three years… (and if you were born between January 1962 and March 1964, as well as Sept. — Dec. 1964, you’re coming up on your second Saturn Return).
A Saturn Return represents a new cycle of maturation in your life. The First Saturn Return (around age 29) asks us: Where are you ready to step up and do the work, gain in maturity, and commit? The Second (around age 58) asks: Where are you ready to give back to society and share your expertise, your life’s work?

If you want to know how Saturn’s journey through Aquarius will impact you personally from Dec. 2020 – March 2023, feel free to get my webinar on the subject: “Saturn in Aquarius & the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn“.
All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Aquarius Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a greater need for a “cause” — let’s hope it’s a good one that benefits most of humanity 🙂 As an Aquarius, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 2 years.

Great article :0)
My life drastically changed on my last Saturn return! Many aspects and relationships in my life came to an end!
Feeling nervous about this next one :0/
Thanks for the clarity Sonja xxxxxxxxxx
Thanks, Terry! It makes a lot of sense that your life changed drastically around the last Saturn Return… since your Saturn is conjunct your Sun, and part of your Grand Cross 😉 Saturn activates a lot of things in your chart… obviously the second Saturn return might look very different form the first one… mostly because you are 29 years older now, you are much more mature, and you have learned a lot since then! It will also not be exact until May-June 2021 and then again in Jan. 2022… so you have some time to get ready for this 🙂 Fear not, you will be ready, when the time comes :-)) xxxxx
