Saturn the planet of time, karma, structure, discipline, responsibility, laws of life, giving lessons and order has gone into sign of Aries on 13th of February 2026. where it will stay until April 12th 2028.
Saturn in Aries is in detriment. Detriment means that the planet can not exude its full potential therefore Saturn wont be able to function like it is functioning in other signs. Even so, Saturn in Aries will construct everything that is connected to the first house. The dimming of Saturn’s nature happened at the beginning of its transit through Aires because it was in conjunction with Neptune. That conjunction brought a lot of uncertainty in the world. Parliaments and rulers were changing, the whole political climate was unstable. Because Neptune and Saturn are still in conjunction we have an increase of wild fires. Some fires happened because of the heat some were intentionally produced. The air honestly feels like we need gas masks ( Neptune – gas, poison ) – Aries ( war, red, flames) – Saturn ( constant ).
Saturn also acts like a prolific teacher. Sometimes it will fail us , most of the times it will reward us. Saturn if not used properly in our charts can really bring to a person hardships , blockage and torment. It is very important that we look into our charts and see where is Saturn, in which sign, house, degree and which aspects is building.
If Saturn is used properly everything that we do will be set in stone and have longevity.
The most important thing about Saturn is that we need to sacrifice a lot for us to get where we want to be headed. Saturn will not give a single thing if not deserved. A lot of people are just not born with that drive and they often feel lost and not valuable but that all can change if the planet is used properly. Even Saturn.
When Saturn starts to give that heavy pressure on the solar plexus and when we are on the edge to brake and cry ( sort to say ) that’s when we should be the calmest and the most resilient in order to come to the results of our plans. It’s not easy, but we astrologers often say JUST ENDURE IN THE CALMNESS AND IT WILL PASS. When under pressure people tend to do things that are inappropriate and Saturn while teaching and testing is also noting the karmic dept. Don’t let yourself be a victim of a test, prevail.
Signs that are most affected by this transit are cardinal signs ( Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) and people who are experiencing Saturn return.
Aries are the most affected. Aries endure now in a transformative process and placing foundation in their lives. That’s a thing what is the most irritating. They need to straight things up especially with their bodies and health collectively (to improve it, to have a better care plan, to be constant when it comes to daily routines). Then we have an ego restoration with a lesson not to give in into fire. All of these things are natural for Aries people but with this Saturn’s transit the authority is applied and Aries doesn’t know one. Aries in this whole period and people with natal Saturn in Aries can be easily provoked and irritated. They have a feeling like a big stone that they are rolling is moving nowhere, like everything is standing still and they need to isolate. Depending on in which house the Saturn is transiting those fields of our lives are the most affected. THERE IS NO WAY OF FIGHTING AGAINST THIS ENERGY, TAKE A MOMENT AND LEARN FROM SATURN WHAT CAN YOU DO BETTER. APPLY IT TO YOUR DAILY LIFE AND ADD DISCIPLINE TOO. Things will immediately feel lighter and that pressure will be lifted up. When the transit is done , Saturn is going to reward a great pupil that passed the test.
ASPECTS UNTIL 01.01.2027.
Saturn started its retrograde Rx movement on 26th of July and it will continue to be retrograde until til 10th of December 2026.
*** Retrograde phase is when the planet is moving backwards. (PLANETS ARE NEVER MOVING BACKWARDS BUT BECAUSE OF PLANET EARTH’S MOVEMENT AROUND THE SUN WE SEE THEM MOVING BACKWARDS.) Retrograde phases are times when we go over the things we have done. These phases are potent to do a review of our life and segments. It is like the planet is pulling its energy , fury and grace backwards. Every planet has a retrograde phase and it is a bad dignity. By bad dignity it means that the planet is not that functional in its actions. One planet in its retrograde phase can make a lot of problems but planets like Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto this phase is quite normal. These planets are called also transcendental planets and they are slow moving planets so when they start their retrograde movements we have more time and space to redo our actions.
From this day on I will write my prognosis for all of the aspects that Saturn will be building with other planets and the Sun. I will exclude the aspects with the Moon because I do a prognosis on them in my weekly posts and lunation posts.
*** SATURN IS IN IT’S RETROGRADE PHASE IN ARIES. NOTE THAT ALL OF THE ASPECTS WILL BE BETWEEN SATURN IN ARIES AND OTHER PLANET’S PLACEMENTS WILL BE WRITTEN IN THE TEXT BELLOW.

Saturn Rx trine Jupiter in Leo :
This aspect is amazing for expanding our determination about our projects, path and career. Many possibilities will be open to us and if we have invested a lot of energy into it will be very rewarded. Because of Saturn’s position these type of things that we worked on gave us a lot of troubles but with the planet of luck and expansion Jupiter , we will be successful in getting them done. Also if you have projects that you put aside for the future this will be a very potent period of two weeks where you can reactivate your involvement in them.
Also if you are planning to present something new to the people you can do it at this time. Especially if those things are related to knowledge and expertise of your work. These two will provide an immense support.
This trine will give possibilities for something that will stay with us for a long time. BE VERY CAUTIOUS FOR WHAT YOU WISH FOR OR WHAT YOU WISH FOR OTHERS. Saturn is noting everything.

This aspect will be very tricky. We will be exposed to unpleasant situations depending on which house is in Cancer and Aries in your horoscopes. The pressure upon us will the test that we have to do. HERE WE HAVE TO DEAL TO WITHSTAND THE PRESSURE AND NOT ACT OUT OF MALICE. We shouldn’t be provoked. This square can we broken only if we use the knowledge and experience. Here wont be any place for anger and unfit behaviour. That is the challenging part. But if we hang onto a bigger picture and let go of the pressure and tension the relief will appear. Interestingly enough that Mars will be in exact conjunction with the fixed star Sirius which is interpreted as the luckiest fixed star of all of them. This star grants talents , protection and abundance. If we don’t fail on this test as an individual and as a collective we will be awarded. This aspect will be active for a week.

This aspect is challenging. When Saturn and the Sun build an opposition our physical energy will be down. Tiredness and fatigue will follow exactly 10 days. We have to be very careful and protect our bodies and bones. Evade fights, be careful of our kidneys and stomach area. This opposition can bring our immune system down also.

Saturn Rx trine the Sun in Sagittarius :
This aspect will bring a lot of resilience and power especially to people that have birthdays between 26th of November until 6th of December. This aspect will give possibilities and chances to people who are striving for higher and elevated knowledge. This trine will represent the students and people who are willing to explore and learn. Everyone who will have an urge to travel, explore and devote their life to new intellectual patterns will be rewarded. Physical strength will be also in focus. Use this time period to work on yourselves and enrich your lives. Because this trine will happen on 8th degree of Aries and Sagittarius , there will be an opportunity to transform your life. To let go of the things that are not serving any purpose anymore and to establish new patterns of behaviour in your life and future.
Signs and planet placements that will benefit out of this trine aspect are Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius between 3rd degree to 12th degree. Aries’ placements in this range of degrees will be having a chance to close up this retrograde period quite successfully only if they realise what is not working out or not serving a purpose in their lives. The main focus is to realise where were the mistakes made and how you can rebuild your life and strive towards better future. Discipline and determination will be the most rewarded in you include them into your future. Strive for greatness.
Exactly on 30th of November there will be a talent aspect between Saturn Rx and Jupiter, use this day to write your deepest desires and affirmations. They will come true. Read them to yourselves and put in the work to realise them. They will be coming true for sure. Start with believing in yourselves.
10.12.2026.
Saturn goes direct. Saturn will start its direct movement from 7th degree of Aries. Placements from 7th degree until 15th degree of Aries, Cancer, Capricorn and Libra will experience a new drive and energy in the coming months. From this day the lessons will be examined and graded. You will all be a bit overly enthusiastic because of Mercury that will be building a trine with Saturn. Mercury is in fall dignity in Sagittarius , that means that some wishes and hopes and expectations can hit us hard in the face. Not everything will be possible at that given moment. The biggest lesson of Saturn is PATIENCE.
20.12.2026.
Saturn talent Venus in Scorpio:
Whom ever you meet on this day the contact will be forever. If you are planning also to marry on this day you will be graced with longevity. Every relation that starts on this day will be there to last for a long long time. Karmic love situations will be also activated on this day.
30.12.2026.
Saturn squares the Sun and Mercury in Capricorn :
End of this 2026 will be really in spirit that we should sit down and just note what have we done and achieved. This square will not be an easy feeling but also ending a year with a square like this one where Saturn will rule the Sun and Mercury. This placements can bring us a lot of decisions for the next year. Do a recap and write down what are your goals for next year because we will be having all components that will grant us success. On the other hand the energy will be dull and we wont be having much power. Here Saturn will unleash its whole fury that he has bottled up in Aries. A lot of conflicting situations will occur and misunderstandings. I recommend that we end 2026 in private gatherings with people that we genuinely care about. A lot of topics will be open and they wont be easily closed with this aspect.
The most affected signs will be Libra , Aries, Capricorn and Cancer with placements between 2nd degree to 12th degree. Capricorns that celebrate their birthdays from 25th of December until 5th of January will be going into a challenging year. Prepare to endure and to be resilient in 2027.
Until 2027 on this topic where I will be writing about Saturn in Aries,
Nikola Djuric
