Despite a disastrous end to the previous year, the year 2022 ushers in a new horizon of possibilities. Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion, has returned to Pisces, where it will dominate for the majority of the year, as of December 28, 2021. Even if the year begins with a Venus retrograde and ends with a Mercury retrograde in mid-January, the sensation of restricted freedom cannot persist indefinitely. Every floodgate is blown open when Jupiter unleashes the force of Pisces, causing a downpour of consciousness, creativity, and imagination. Regardless of how bleak the current outlook, 2022 has the seeds of creativity and fruition, of realizing aspirations and uniting with romantic, spiritual, and fantasy objectives.
From December 28, 2021, to May 11, 2022, Jupiter swims across Pisces, and then again from October 28 to December 21, 2022. Jupiter will spend the summer in Aries, from May 11 to October 28, focusing on themes of independence, drive, desire, and embodiment. Jupiter moves retrograde from July 28 to November 23, causing a halt or review of its progress. The first seven months of the year, through mid-summer, are good for working with the planet of light and synthesis. Read our Jupiter in Pisces guide for more information on how to take advantage of the year’s biggest awakening.

JUPITER BASICS
Mercury and Venus, the planets nearest to the sun, move through the zodiac at a frantic rate, completing the twelve-sign tale in a year and initiating personal changes and advancements as they go. Saturn and Pluto, for example, move within one sign for several years at a period, signaling epochs and generational transitions for the entire population. Jupiter falls in the middle, taking roughly twelve years to complete a full revolution in your horoscope at a rate of about one sign per year.
Jupiter is called after the god-king who sent lightning bolts of insight from the skies and traveled freely among his human people, seeking coital pleasures and adventure without bounds. It’s showtime everywhere the planet goes, with a great cosmic spotlight on a certain place in your horoscope. Jupiter, like Pisces, rules Sagittarius, a sign obsessed with learning and self-improvement, and as its emissary, Jupiter absorbs experiences and synthesizes them into wisdom. Wherever Jupiter goes, it delivers results, clarity, and momentum.
JUPITER IN AQUARIUS
Jupiter has been collaborating with Saturn in Aquarius, a sign concerned with new modalities, technologies, and worldwide progress, from December 20, 2020 until December 28, 2021. On a public level, Jupiter has accelerated the distribution of vaccines, knowledge, and new technology in an effort to bring us up to speed with the existing world order and the coming decade. Jupiter has provided new platforms and frameworks for artistic expression, interpersonal functionality, and tailored healing on a personal basis. Jupiter, in a sign of creativity, has aided you in developing your own vision of how you wish to work and live.
JUPITER IN PISCES
Remember back in May of 2021, when everyone you knew had received their second vaccine and restaurants were starting to reopen, when witnessing your favorite drag queen live for the first time was no longer a pipe dream but a reality? Remember the first time you went back to the beach after a long winter in the dungeon and the doldrums? That was Jupiter’s summer peek in Pisces, which lasted from May 13 to July 29, 2021, before the great planet had to return to its Aquarian duties.
This year follows a similar pattern, with Jupiter going direct in Pisces, spending the summer in Aries, and then returning to Pisces in the fall and winter. Finally, Jupiter has returned to its proper place in the zodiac, the deep ocean, where all of our lessons, hardships, and joys have filtered in and combined to create something new. There are no bounds, no restrictions, and no reservations in Piscean consciousness. The Dune spice orgy and the big communion begin when Jupiter returns here. All of the coping methods, spiritual tools, artistic diversions, and odd conversations begin to converge after so much time feeling stuck and limited. You can start a new community or a new selfhood right now. You may start making your aspirations a reality.
It all culminates in April, when a whopping five planets enter Pisces, and Jupiter and Neptune, the sign’s rulers, realign for the first time in 50 years in their undersea kingdom. It’s Sofia Coppola season, which means it’s time to throw yourself headlong into the idyll, engage in your artistic activities, and open all doors to higher consciousness. You’re just another female in a sweater in the city, but during Jupiter in Pisces season, you’re a holy vessel.
JUPITER IN ARIES
Jupiter enters Aries, the sign of independence, energy, and velocity, on May 11th. Jupiter will give us a glimpse into 2023 and beyond from now until October 28, when the society turns from witchy to vampiric. We get to hammer it harder as the atmosphere moves from Blood Orange to Megan Thee Stallion, from diaphanous to low-rise. While Jupiter in Pisces takes us into the realms of the unknown via the cinematic imagination, Aries reintroduces us to our bodies and the immediate sensations of action and desire. You’ll have nearly a year to embrace an enterprising attitude and take initiative in love and career when Jupiter returns for a longer stay in 2023. This is a sneak peek, a chance to sit in the driver’s seat of your dreams.
WORKING WITH RETROGRADES
Jupiter enters Aries on July 28 and moves backwards into Pisces on October 28, only to return to direct motion from November 23 to December 21. It’ll be back on track in Aries for the last week of the year, ushering us into a daring 2023. The first five months of the year, as well as the brief December gateway, are great for tapping into Piscean creativity. Set your goals for May, June, and July, and make sure you’re firing on all cylinders.
The retrograde period, which runs from July 28 to November 23, does not mean that your dreams will fade or that the celebration will come to an end. Consider this retrograde more of a review, an opportunity to integrate and, better yet, finetune the lessons learned in the first half of the year. Jupiter, like Zeus, is prone to acting without much accountability, rushing forward at a rate it can’t entirely control. A retrograde provides an opportunity to double-check that the changes are permanent. Saturn will enter Pisces in 2023, giving structure to the changes Jupiter has brought about in your life. Expansion necessitates contraction. Allow yourself time to swim upstream and assess how far you’ve come and where you’re headed next. You have the solar system’s largest planet behind you. It will be worthwhile.
When Saturn is in Pisces, what happens?
There’s a built-in pressure with Saturn in Pisces to face uncertainty with courage and discipline. Your karmic challenges teach you how to develop faith, overcome your fears of drowning, and learn to manage emotional arousal. Addictions, phobias, and irrational fears may be a problem for you.
Is Saturn in Pisces a positive sign?
People born with Saturn in Pisces have a natural tendency to sacrifice. They have a keen interest in the arts. Because they are skilled at disciplining and formulating policies, these people frequently occupy a leading role among their friends and relatives.
In what year will Jupiter be in Pisces?
On April 13, 2022, Jupiter will make one of the most anticipated transits of the year. Jupiter is the zodiac’s most benign and favorable planet. It is in charge of our life’s riches, wealth, and happiness. The Guru, as Jupiter is known, will change signs from Aquarius to Pisces on April 13 at 11:23 a.m. Pisces is the zodiac’s final sign. It’s a deeply spiritual indicator that demonstrates our potential to develop our higher awareness in order to improve the quality of our lives and the lives of people around us. Self-healing, spirituality, and refuting myths are more important to Pisces. As a result, we may witness an upturn in ancient societal institutions, karmically righting past wrongs, and eventually finding collective closure to the divisiveness and turmoil that has occurred around the world.

Where is Saturn currently transiting?
On March 21/22, 2020, Saturn enters the sign of Aquarius for the first time, and then again on December 17th, 2020.
Saturn is in Aquarius from March 21, 2020 to July 1, 2020, and again from December 17, 2020 to March 7, 2023.
Saturn takes around 28-29 years to complete a full circuit, so it spends about 2-1/2 years in each sign on average.
Saturn Transits: General
Saturn’s transits and cycles can be viewed as cycles of growth and achievement. When Saturn produces a hard aspect to a personal point in our horoscope, we may feel as if time has been slowed down, with delays, frustrations, and tensions. These times, however, force us to face reality, allowing us to gain greater insight and the freedom that comes with living in truth.
During Saturn’s severe transits to our own planets, important decisions are frequently made. These transits seem to slow down life (or at least that’s how we see it) and force us to live in the now. Although Saturn transits can make life seem like a drudgery (these are often times when our lives seem to move at a snail’s pace and progress is difficult to see), they also provide us with the opportunity to develop inner strength, become more responsible for what we do and say, and eliminate waste or excesses in our lives. In essence, what happens is a type of paring or slimming down in the Saturn-ruled sector of life. We’re getting rid of things in our lives that aren’t serving us well in the actual world and concentrating on improving and strengthening the things that do.
Saturn transits can also be seen of as periods of conservation in whatever area of life Saturn is influencing. During these times, we usually build up our reserves and store our energy. There may be delays and minor yet inconvenient issues. Things break down, our needs are frequently unmet by others, we frequently feel misunderstood and even excluded, we frequently perceive others to be harsh and unsympathetic (although this is frequently a perception issue we may, in fact, be lacking in a sense of humor), and we frequently feel burdened or put upon.
Saturn transits teach us to take charge of our own lives. We may feel as if the world is a frigid place during the start of a Saturn transit. If we’re grown enough, we’ll realize that we can’t constantly blame others for our issues. To rely on ourselves, we must go within and draw out our own inner power.
Heavy Saturn transits might cause depression as a side effect. We can combat the predisposition to a doom-and-gloom mentality by focusing our energies on worthwhile pursuits without trying too hard for praise or support from others. Saturn brings us back to reality and the necessity for more self-control. Reorganizing the area of life symbolized by the house or personal point that Saturn is “hitting” can yield significant benefits. By all means, keep in mind that Saturn transits do not utterly flatten us. Instead, they slow us down, forcing us to live in the now, preventing us from taking unnecessary risks, and assisting us in building and structuring our lives in ways that will benefit us in the future.
It’s fascinating to explore the transits and themes that pervaded our life prior to the Saturn transits. If we were on a high during a high-speed Uranus transit right before Saturn “struck,” this period might be a major time in our lives when we “paid” for the risks we took during that Uranus phase. This might be a particularly disillusioning moment if we’ve been experiencing a lot of Neptune transits. We may be particularly hard struck if Saturn transits occur soon after a Jupiter-themed era in our lives. Perhaps the Jupiter phase has caused us to overspend or overlook our basic needs, and now Saturn has arrived to “fix” the situation and push us to face our inner truths. Life isn’t all fun and games, after all. Saturn reminds us that we must labor and save in order to survive. When analyzing how Saturn transits might effect us, it’s helpful to think about our recent and prior experiences.
We should also consider the transiting Saturn’s position by house, the zodiac signs involved, and the personal planet/condition. point’s If our personal planet/point is our chart ruler (that is, it rules our Ascendant), we may be subjected to especially powerful events and circumstances. Saturn transits will affect both personal points at the same time if our natal Sun and Moon are in harsh aspect to each other. If transiting Saturn forms a difficult aspect with a stellium of planets, we will be confronted with a more complex combination of circumstances and attitudes, which may have a greater influence than if only the personal point is impacted.
Saturn instills in us the importance of moderation and care. Avoiding battling hard Saturn transits to personal planets and points may be the best approach to “handle” these teachings. Accept that things may move at a slower (even snail’s) pace at this point in your life. Saturn urges us to work hard, put our energies into initiatives that are practical, helpful, and important, and to live in the now. This is the time in your life when you should be laying a strong foundation. Recognize that moderation is vital for your spiritual growth as well as your physical health at this time in your life. Avoid blaming people for your current situation; this will only make you feel sad and angry. Know that this time in your life, while brief, is an opportunity to learn about your personal limits and inner strength. Carry these lessons with you as you progress through this period, since how you conduct your life now will make all the difference when Saturn makes a hard aspect to the same planet or point in your chart again (7 years later).
It’s important to remember that, while Jupiter is frequently seen as the planet that bestows advantages, Saturn’s rewards are usually far greater, albeit delayed!
Saturn’s Transit Through Aquarius: General Influences Improving Social Structures
Background: From late 2009 to October 2012, Saturn was in Libra, putting a spotlight on our one-on-one committed partnerships. We took a closer, more critical look at these interactions, and we found that imbalances were more difficult to accept. We probed further into the dynamics of our relationships while Saturn was in Scorpio from October 2012 to December 2014, and then again from June to September 2015. From 2015 to 2017, Saturn in Sagittarius challenged us to rein in our excesses, question our beliefs, and gain a greater understanding of our belief systems. From 2017 to 2020, Saturn was in Capricorn, and we examined our key structures, governments, institutions, careers, and feeling of responsibility with a critical eye. Conservation, restraint, and perseverance were rewarded.
Saturn is dignified and well-functioning while it is in Aquarius. This is a moment to examine our aspirations, ambitions, hopes, contributions, social structures, social lives, friendships, and community involvement with a critical eye.
Wherever Saturn impacts our horoscopes, it expects clarity, definition, realism, and honesty. Saturn also puts us to the test, but not for our amusement, but for our own good. Saturn will highlight areas that need to be strengthened.
Saturn is patient, which is a good trait. We can only achieve a healthy, balanced state with Saturn if we take our time and do it completely.
A desire to obtain control is present when Saturn is present, and some of us may try to control the people in our life, but this is a tough and frustrating path to tread. We eventually come to the realization that the only person we can influence is ourselves. We also know that when we become more accountable for ourselves, we have an affect on and better the group or collective with Saturn in Aquarius.
While Saturn is in Aquarius, it’s time to put things to the test, slim down, take a critical look at, or simplify:
It may be a moment when we are more cautious and cautious in our social interactions. During this time, new ways of addressing individuals may play a significant role. Because of our new viewpoint on friendship, community, and socializing, we’re doing things differently. Different methods/approaches develop organically as we examine these issues more seriously.
It’s an exciting time for technical advancements that benefit the community, give our lives more structure, and help us connect more efficiently. Even so, extra regulations and procedures imposed on technology may feel unnecessarily burdensome or restricting.
We’ve had enough of plans, ambitions, and dreams that don’t hold water or aren’t realistic or achievable. Our keen awareness of the past and future can lead to significant judgments, inventions, and advancements. In an ideal world, we’d be able to set our egos aside and do what’s best for the group.
Saturn, in its own sign, does not seek approval from other factors. It is the last dispositor and hence has the final say.
Constriction of the legs, spine, or ankles is sometimes connected with this position.
While fear of scarcity, having nothing, or losing everything were powerful motivators while Saturn was in Capricorn, with Saturn in Aquarius, our focus shifts to our connection to something larger, to systems, and to persons. The influence of mass movements is likely to grow. In many ways, Saturn in Capricorn was about self-preservation, whereas Saturn in Aquarius is more concerned with the preservation of the collective.
