Saturn is making a very strong, almost exact conjunction to the North Node of the Moon at 26° of Pisces. To the outside world, every 18 months, this alignment has dramatic impact. It particularly affects those with heavy placements in Capricorn and Aquarius, as well as anyone with placements in the mutable signs. The conjunction supports deep self-awareness and a drive to align more closely with who you truly are, underneath it all.
Saturn, the taskmaster planet Saturn, the hard-knock planet represents the energy of boundaries and karmic lessons. Saturn is the authority figure in astrology – a teacher of discipline and structure and the wisdom that comes with overcoming life’s obstacles. The weight of Saturn simultaneously enforces boundaries, forming souls for greater destinies and driving them toward maturity.
On one hand, the North Node represents the path we’re meant to walk, our life purpose, and soul evolution. As Saturn’s hard lines soften with the North Node’s presence, this conjunction can be a serious force for positive change. Astrologers will tell you that these energies call for some introspection. People can reimagine how to be more true to who they really are to themselves.
Letao Wang explains this detachment to us a little further. He continues, “In astrology, Saturn is authority, discipline, structure, life’s hard-earned wisdom… The North Node is our destined path, where our soul grows. He points out that when these two forces unite, they create a powerful push toward maturity: “Limitations transform into stepping stones, and patience becomes our greatest ally.”
The importance of this conjunction is particularly acute for anyone with personal planets around 20-29 degrees of Pisces. These people will have increased perception and chances for spiritual growth as Saturn’s lessons blend seamlessly with the crises and quests they pursue in their spiritual development.
Astrologers note that Saturn’s influence during this period serves as a reminder to pay attention to guidance from authority figures or mentors. Wang advises that “a father, teacher or an older superior might whisper some important wisdom at your ear this period of time. Pay attention and don’t be stubborn.
Along with new paths of self-discovery, this cosmic configuration has a big impact on love and compatibility. When we return to a new conjunction, perhaps some of these ties will resolve more robustly through deliberation. At the same time, some will need to pass by so deeper links that really touch your spirit can be forged. These type of changes can result in releasing relationships that don’t align with your greater intention.
Financially and artistically, this time fosters us all to dig our heels into what is important. Wang discusses a different aspect of investing, which is investing in what really counts. He urges us to align resources with spiritual values, financially and artistically. This harmonious alignment motivates individuals to look for congruence in all their endeavors.
The conjunction occurring in the Pisces/Virgo axis suggests a balance between dreams and practicality. People will be caught in tension between emotional understanding and practical applicability over this period. The mutable signs—Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces—are particularly encouraged to embrace adaptability as they respond to the energies at play.
As this celestial event unfolds, Wang reassures those feeling weighed down by Saturn’s influence: “You are exactly where you need to be. The universe is aligning lessons and blessings to help you grow.” He encourages individuals to trust the process: “If life feels heavy, know that Saturn’s weight is shaping you for higher callings. When love seems destined, listen to Venus’ soft push for peace and balance. Breathe. Release. Build.
