Overview

• On Monday, September 1, Saturn’s retrograde shifted from Aries back into Pisces in its final pass before returning to Aries on February 13, 2026, where it is expected to remain until April 2028.
• Astrologers say this phase centers a review of karma, legacy, responsibility, restriction, discipline, and purpose, and note Saturn typically retrogrades for about 4 to 4.5 months each year within a 29‑year cycle.
• The Pisces transit is described as testing limits and patience, prompting a reassessment of personal boundaries and of the structures and safeguards built over the past two years.
• Astrologer Reda Wigle highlights Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces as most likely to feel the shift strongly, with sign‑specific themes spanning career, relationships, home, and self.
• Therapist Jaime Bronstein recommends tools to reduce conflict during the transit, including an empty‑chair perspective swap, depersonalized language, third‑person self‑talk supported by a 2020 University of Michigan study, the 90‑second rule, and reframing assumptions.
