Transiting Saturn Through Aries

On 25th May 2025, transiting Saturn will enter the sign of Aries where it will remain until 13th April 2028. The last time transiting Saturn entered Aries was 7th April 1996. So what can we expect over the next three years?

Saturn in Aries (1996-1999) was a major period of restructuring.. Aries brings trailblazing energy and Saturn encourages long term growth. As a result, this period brought expansion of the internet and the rise of tech companies like Amazon and Google. 

Advances in technology revolutionised communication and commerce as well as our day-to-day lives. The differences that occurred between 1996-1999 were phenomenal. Home computers - or personal computers known as PCs - became the must-have gadgets. As we accessed the internet, we discovered a new way of communicating through electronic mail - email. You could write a letter and it would arrive at its destination within four seconds. For those of us who experienced this revolutionary technology when previously all we had known was calling on a landline phone or posting a letter which took, at the earliest, three days to arrive and that was assuming it didn't get lost, I can only describe sending an email as mind-blowing. Technological advancements will probably be a defining feature of this transit. Just like the late 1990s, when the internet changed everything, we may see similar game-changing developments.

In many ways the energy of Saturn is a counterbalance to the energy of Aries. Saturn is patient and weighs up the possible consequences of taking action. Aries is impulsive, head-strong and gung-ho. It wants immediate results. Saturn will temper the spontaneous nature of Aries, but in turn, Aries will spur Saturn on to take risks. Together, they will equalise any situation. Both Saturn and Aries are very dominant and ambitious, so perhaps we will see less dithering and more decision-making on the world stage.Opportunities to begin new projects will arise during this transit, particularly in construction work.

This period could bring dynamic new leaders to the fore - just as Prime Minister Tony Blair arrived on the scene in the UK in 1997. During the previous Saturn in Aries transit from 1996 - 1999 a significant number of world leaders resigned. This time we could also see major shifts in political systems. Personal responsibility will become more prevalent in the general attitude of society. That means accepting your current circumstances instead of blaming others or expecting those in authority to pick up the pieces.
