The first weekend of September truly has a back-to-ritual-school kind of vibe. On Saturday, September 7th, the Sun in Virgo will sit exactly opposite from Saturn in Pisces, bringing you a time of revision and energetic testing.
Since Saturn is the master teacher planet, the zodiac sign it sits in at any given time speaks of our current learnings in life.
In astrology, Pisces represents spirituality, oneness, compassion, intuition, and the divine. As a Retrograde Saturn gets activated this week, we get reminded of the work that needs to be done on our end to grow and mature in this sacred area of ancestral connection.
Below are a checklist and a ritual to guide you in honoring the current cosmic forces at play:
Your Retrograde Saturn in Pisces Checklist
- Have you been listening to your intuition enough?
Pisces is the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, so when we are feeling triggered, we tend to run away from the feelings and sensations that lead to intuitive breakthroughs.
- Have you processed any important loss you’ve experienced?
If you’ve lost something or someone in the past, regardless of how long ago it was, it’s important to give yourself time to process. Showing compassion to yourself by allowing yourself to feel is the highest vibration of Saturn in Pisces.
- And how faithful have you been to deepening your spiritual practice?
Your Saturn in Pisces Weekend Ritual
Since Saturn is the planetary ruler of self-mastery, having us reclaim our connection to water and our emotions, this weekend’s focus is on connecting with the most sacred of elements. This planet-sign combination is all about strengthening your intuition, while physically connecting with bodies of water.
Take some of your favorite ritual items (write-your-own-prayer candle, anointing oil, and water element crystals) to either the beach, a lake, a pond, or your bathtub - and set an intention to connect with Spirit. Light your intention candle.
After meditating for about fifteen minutes, look straight into the water and ask Saturn to guide you in reconnecting with your psychic gifts.
Then, say thank you and end the ritual by snuffing the candle, and bringing it back to your sacred home (if not already there) to re-light and tap into water element energy.
Pay close attention to the signs, people, and thoughts that come into your orbit for the next few days.
