Ready, set, slow your roll. When Saturn — the planet of structure, boundaries, and discipline — enters impulsive Aries on May 24th, we begin a two-and-a-half-year boot camp for achieving our goals. But the path to the finish line won’t be straightforward.
The ancients considered Aries to be the sign of Saturn’s fall, meaning the cosmic taskmaster tends to struggle in this placement. This steady planet likes to take its sweet time doing things “the right way,” while Aries is driven by sheer instinct. Gate-crashing a party or scrapping an unfinished project on a whim? That’s the ram of the zodiac for you. With Saturn in this spitfire sign, we can expect sudden flare-ups of impatience, competitiveness, and rash decision-making. Proceed with caution.
Saturn transits are notorious for their tough lessons. But they’re not all grit, sweat, and tears. This seemingly cranky planet is actually crucial for our growth. It teaches us (the hard way) that our toils can transform us for the better. We strengthen our intellectual, spiritual, and emotional muscles by wrestling with our self-doubts and limitations. You can think of Saturn in Aries as the dedicated tutor, coach, or personal trainer who guides you through one more exercise when you feel like you’re hitting a wall. Whenever you discover new ways to overcome old obstacles, you get an endorphin rush and a confidence boost that can support you in every part of your life.
If you feel you’re on the verge of a temper tantrum or an all-caps email, pause. Discomfort is a necessary stage in the process of realizing your full potential. And summoning your self-control in heated moments reinforces your ability to act quickly when it matters most. So replenish your electrolytes and remember your warm-up stretches. This is just Saturn’s initial lap in Aries, since it will retrograde back into Pisces on September 1st — but it will be here for the long haul starting in February 2026. By the time Saturn completes its marathon through Aries in 2028, you’ll be ready to go for gold.
P.S. If Saturn is in Aries in your birth chart, that means you just entered your infamous Saturn return.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most disciplined of them all? While Saturn is in Aries, it’s time to double down on your personal development work. Whether that means logging more hours at the gym, healing self-esteem wounds with a therapist, or getting an intricate tattoo is up to you.
The key to thriving during this period is taking your unique goals seriously. The desires that motivate you aren’t just minor details; they’re guiding you toward becoming your most fully expressed self.
But heeding your instincts involves learning the art of follow-through, especially when others don’t grasp your vision for your life. Commit to doing the work required to build up your confidence and carve your own path, naysayers and haters be darned.
A helpful tip? If others’ achievements or glamorous social media posts have you feeling competitive, focus on your own work. It’s not productive to compare your in-progress moments with other people’s highlight reels. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you’re not going to rise to your fullest potential overnight.
When you meet your inner critics with a steady stream of compassion, you can stretch beyond your own limitations. Forget about seeking anyone else’s approval. You’re here to give it to yourself.
Upgrade your sleep mask, white noise machine, and bedsheets of choice. While Saturn is in Aries, you’ll be conducting your best work behind the scenes. Consistently slinking away to your sacred sanctuaries and restful havens is non-negotiable for achieving your goals in the world beyond your own private bat cave.
If you don’t proactively mute your social notifications, set boundaries with energy vampires, and create a fortress against distraction, burnout may come knocking. So don’t wait to make restorative alone time a priority. But it’s not always easy to throw a relaxing party for one.
Despite our best efforts to claim some peace and quiet, sometimes we still end up waking at 3 am, flooded with embarrassing memories from the distant past, doubts about the future, or flashes of bottled-up rage. When these sharper feelings surface, they’re asking to be compassionately witnessed and then gently released.
You shouldn’t believe every word your inner critics say, but you do need to understand them. Stashing a dream journal under your pillow and venting your fears on the page can soften the harsh stories your mind tells itself — and improve the quality of your shut-eye.
Slash through the thorny thoughts thwarting the Sleeping Beauty within. Meeting them with both kindness and courage will reconnect you to your liveliest self.
Discover new ways to get by with a little help from your friends. While Saturn is in Aries, a deep shift is in store for your communities, networks, and collective projects. You’re figuring out how to treat your alliances as the sacred responsibilities they are.
Shore up your commitments to your confidants and co-conspirators, and honor the everyday work it takes to sustain these bonds. A regularly scheduled catch-up call or a volunteer shift at your local co-op can go a long way toward solidifying and strengthening your connections.
If you experience conflicts, tensions, or disagreements in your social circle, learn from them. It’s easy for irritation to steadily simmer, so be proactive about airing your frustrations before they boil over in the group chat.
Expressing your needs considerately and clearly is essential for working effectively with others. And if you can’t entirely prevent a rupture or two, pinpoint what kind of repair is required.
Saturn plays the long game, so if it feels like your communal ties are fraying or your activist efforts are stagnating, don’t let your doubts get the best of you. Instead, celebrate the small wins. They’re building up to something larger than you can currently imagine.
It takes work to claim the spotlight and command the room. While Saturn is in Aries, you’re doing all the behind-the-scenes grinding necessary to get ready for your big close-up. It’s time to identify what you want your legacy to be.
Whether you aspire to become an expert in your field, lead volunteer projects in your community, or rally support for your professional dreams, clarify the mark you wish to leave on the world. The more precisely you pinpoint your goals, the easier it will be to find the allies, mentors, and learning opportunities that will help you achieve them.
So get serious and consider where you want to be in 5, 10, or 50 years. Saturn isn’t freaked out by long timelines, so don’t rush your efforts. You’re here to make lasting contributions, not just flash-in-the-pan offerings.
You can save yourself some unnecessary drama and irritation by committing to focusing on your own work. Your path to success is entirely unique, and the pursuit of your greater calling isn’t a competition. Other people’s milestones say nothing about your accomplishments.
The secret to treating a case of comparison-itis? Seek the “why” at the heart of your ambitions. For example, maybe you don’t just want to start the next viral trend; maybe what you really want is to share your truth with a receptive audience.
Devote yourself to the bigger picture beyond your hunger for acclaim, and you’ll tap into a deeper stamina that can help you move mountains.
Incoming: an epic intellectual adventure. It’s time to book that meditation retreat, renew your library card, or start planning your round-the-world voyage. While Saturn is in Aries, you’re getting serious about seeking wisdom and crossing items off your bucket list.
A tip for achieving your long-range goals: Break down your biggest aspirations into small, doable tasks. If you’re intimidated by your manuscript draft, grad school applications, or stack of astrology books, shrink your to-dos to a manageable size.
Saturn prefers taking the slow route, since that’s where we discover the most lasting lessons, so don’t push yourself to reach enlightenment overnight. Instead, challenge yourself every day to do one little thing that brings you closer to your dreams.
Nobody expects you to finish your novel or vacation itinerary in one go. Just keep moving the compass needle toward your true north.
If you find yourself in conflict with mentors or guides, this tension is part of the celestial curriculum. Whenever unnecessary drama flares up, you’ll benefit from trusting the intuition of your inner skeptic.
Confronting ruptures with your educational institutions or spiritual communities can be jarring but also liberating. That’s how you learn to become your own best teacher.
When it comes to sharing funds or feels, it’s time to get practical. While Saturn is in Aries, read the fine print of your business deals, grant applications, tax documents, and leases.
Sound boring? Maybe just a tad. But a mindful pause before signing on the bottom line can make major waves in the rest of your life. Get crystal-clear about how you’re investing your time, energy, and money, and consider whether your efforts are paying off.
And don’t hesitate to cut ties and chart your own course if you realize you’ve been getting shortchanged in your exchanges. When your give-and-takes are fair and favorable for everyone involved, it’s much easier to summon resources and sustain support for all your projects.
It’s also a good moment to assess your roster of therapists, counselors, and healers. When exploring unprocessed trauma, bottled-up anger, or raw grief, trust is everything. Seek out the wise allies and confidants who aren’t thrown off by a temper tantrum or two.
When you have a safe outlet to air suppressed frustrations or vent about past betrayals, you can more skillfully weather life’s storms. The more bravely you embrace the shadowy emotions you’ve been afraid to face, the stronger and sturdier your collaborations become.
Your people-pleasing tendencies are in the hot seat. While Saturn is in Aries, brace yourself for growing pains in your committed partnerships.
Say goodbye to masking your raw truth with a sweet smile or a cutesy emoji. Get real about the ways you’ve hidden or downplayed your desires, preferences, or opinions with romantic loves, besties, business associates, or clients.
It’s easy to believe that maintaining harmony is the key to healthy relationships, but it’s not. What really matters is balancing authenticity with kindness and consideration.
If you need help summoning more candor and directness, seek out books or workshops on communication strategies or attachment styles. Sometimes releasing suppressed anger or frustration too hastily can lead to blunders or blowups. But if you take your time excavating your personal wishes, you can more skillfully bring them to the surface.
If some people aren’t receptive to your messages, their responses are still valuable info. Saturn is known for teaching discernment, and identifying what isn’t working for us can be just as useful as identifying what is.
Once you’ve figured out how to put your cards on the table in your 1:1s, bust out the friendship bracelets and get ready to renew your vows. Agreeing on the long-term dreams you share will cement your closest bonds for many years to come.
Overhaul your routines. Saturn in Aries is encouraging you to demolish the practical habits that have gone stale and to build new systems that support your success. But before you can figure out which health hacks or time management strategies are right for you, you have to learn which ones aren’t.
Keep a list of everyday stressors that are fraying your nerves. If you’re burning the midnight oil or overstuffing your to-do list, being honest about your unproductive tendencies will help you reach solutions.
A secret to acing this transit? Consistency. Make lasting magic by wholeheartedly showing up for your exercise classes, meal prep plans, or coworking sessions.
With slow-paced Saturn in the mix, you may not reap gains immediately. But with time and dedication, you’ll discover the smart little tweaks that will ultimately accelerate your progress in bigger projects.
If you’re questioning your line of work or your wellness regimens, this is a reset moment for you. Chronic irritation is a sign that you need to make a change. Pinpoint what’s frustrating you in your toil and what you’d rather be doing instead.
Start developing the skills required to realize your own labor of love, even if it’s a bit of a risk. Better to strike out on your own than to mask your annoyance at the watercooler every single day. Get trailblazing.
If your cup of delight is running low, it’s time for a refill.
While Saturn is in Aries, get serious about defining what the good life means to you. Greet bouts of loneliness, boredom, or frustration with gusto. These feelings are showing you where you could use a dash of confetti, an impromptu roller derby game, or a fresh flirtation. But be warned: Saturn isn’t interested in superficial thrills.
While you’re scrolling through the dating apps or dressing up for the dance floor, be discerning. You’re not searching for quick dopamine hits or instant pain relief; you’re seeking the people and experiences that genuinely unlock your creativity, inspire a sense of abundance, and restore your energy. So pay attention.
Study your pastimes as if they were intricate paintings or complex symphonies, and notice the finer details of what brings you joy. Your commitment to meaningful pleasure pursuits is key. Whether you’re taking on an ambitious art project, an in-depth cooking class, or a new romantic relationship, go all in.
The hours you log at your writing desk or pottery wheel will elevate all your creations and collaborations. Find the fun in raising your standards. The more sweat and pizzazz you put into these endeavors, the more deeply you’ll savor the results.
And give yourself some TLC whenever life seems unglamorous. You know that feeling when the party’s over and you’re left alone with a mess to clean up? It may be a buzzkill, but it’s also a chance to turn inward, reflect, and keep growing.
Take life’s mundane moments as opportunities to renew your devotion to your desires. Your muses will be listening.
Your foundations are due for a tune-up. While Saturn is in Aries, dig into your root systems and remove whatever’s blocking them from blossoming. If you uncover lingering irritations about your family, chosen kin, or living situation, it’s time for some structural renovations.
Conflicts close to home can activate your deepest wounds, including the fears and insecurities of your younger, less mature self. So if you notice yourself regressing or acting out, summon your patience and self-control.
Remind yourself that you’re wiser now. You have the power to rewrite any scripts that are hindering your growth and to make any internal or external changes that support your wellbeing.
If you need help setting boundaries or practicing self-advocacy, seek the guidance of the trusted elders and ancestors in your orbit. Their experiences can be valuable resources. Time to call that distant cousin — or the witch next door.
Think of this transit as a thorough inspection of your home base. If anything seems shaky or unsteady, the careful repairs you make now will pay off for years to come. Whether you’re unlearning old coping mechanisms, fixing a leak in your apartment, moving house, or babysitting for a loved one, focus on doing the best job you can.
And don’t be afraid of any anger or sadness that swells up in the process. Rage and grief can be constructive. When you greet these emotions with compassion and curiosity, they can fan the flames that keep your hearth blazing strong.
Get ready for your mic-drop moment.
Saturn in Aries is nudging you to confront the inner critics and self-doubts keeping you from airing your hottest takes. It’s time to dust off the megaphone and face your fear of the blank page. It can be risky to broadcast your message to the world, but owning your unique viewpoint and intellectual authority can be liberating and empowering.
For best results, resist the temptation of going viral and focus instead on creating books, blog posts, and podcasts that can stand the test of time. Your commitment to your craft is key. Pencil in some regular time to silence your phone or dash off some morning pages.
It takes courage to lay out your boldest opinions and arguments, especially when you’re fighting for them alone. But once you heal the part of you that’s afraid to stand out, nothing can stop you. Bring on the controversial articles and spicy stories.
If you need inspiration, tune in to your nearby community. The characters populating your neighborhood, subway station, or local park can spark ideas. So keep a journal within reach.
Saturn plays the long game, so even if you don’t immediately know what to do with an observation or turn of phrase for now, it may be future material for your greatest showstopper yet.
Spark some slow-burning money magic.
If you’ve been running on autopilot with your funds, Saturn in Aries is nudging you to get focused and shore up your finances. Whether you’re juggling a dozen gigs or you’re making a budget for the first time in your life, a solid plan will help you generate and sustain your resources.
Challenge yourself to confront any fears, hang-ups, or bouts of impostor syndrome that are undermining your self-worth. And if you need support, don’t be shy. Seek the teachers, mentors, and savvy friends who can help you bid farewell to the beliefs that are hurting your piggy bank.
If you have entrepreneurial instincts, this is a period when you may be hustling harder than usual. Whatever your relationship with money is, get serious about strengthening it. Sharpen the skills or mindsets that will allow you to reach your long-term fiscal goals. These efforts will keep up your momentum when your income streams seem stagnant.
And resist getting competitive and comparing your status with anyone else’s. It’s easy to convince ourselves that we have to be outearning or outspending everyone on our social media feeds. But true wealth means something much deeper.
Dig beneath surface-level cravings and uncover your own definition of abundance. When you unlock that treasure chest, you’ll find the tools you need to build something of lasting value.
