Okay, here’s my experience about Saturn retrograde in Pisces 1st house.
So, I started noticing things were getting a bit wonky a while back. I mean, life’s always got its ups and downs, but this was different. It felt like I was walking through mud, you know? Everything took extra effort, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on why.
I’m not really one for astrology, but a friend of mine, she’s way into it, she said it might be because of Saturn. I was like, “Saturn? What’s that got to do with anything?” She started explaining how Saturn was in retrograde in Pisces, and it was hanging out in my 1st house. Apparently, that’s a big deal.
Diving into the Details
She told me to watch out because I wouldn’t be able to tell a good opportunity from a bad one. I thought, “Great, just what I need.” But then she also mentioned that this whole Saturn thing could actually bring some money my way. Okay, I’m listening now. But that’s all for people over 30, I was only 28 at that time, what about me?
- Confusion and Indecision:
- Felt like I was constantly second-guessing myself.
- Couldn’t tell if an opportunity was worth pursuing.
- Financial Ups and Downs:
- Not applicable to me.
- Delays and Obstacles:
- Everything felt like it was taking longer than usual.
- Hit a lot of roadblocks in my projects.
I did some digging online, just to see if there was anything else to this whole Saturn in Pisces thing. I found out that when Saturn is in your 1st house, it’s like you’re on a time-out until you hit your 30s. That’s when you supposedly figure out your life’s purpose. Marriage and success, those get delayed too. I mean, I’m not in a hurry to get married, but success? That’s something I’m always working towards.
Then, it’s my romance, fun, and education were probably going to take a hit, too. Let me tell you, she wasn’t wrong. Everything just felt harder, more complicated. It was like the universe was testing me or something.

Getting Through It
So, what did I do? Well, I tried to go with the flow. I read somewhere that this period was about letting go of the things you can’t control. Easier said than done, right? But I figured, what have I got to lose?
I started focusing on the things I could control. My work, my routines, my reactions to things. I tried to be more patient, with myself and with others. It wasn’t always easy, but I tried. Also, I found myself leaning more into my creative side. I started painting again, something I hadn’t done in years. It was a good way to channel all that weird energy.
And you know what? Slowly but surely, things started to shift. I started feeling more grounded, more sure of myself. It was like I was finally getting my footing. The confusion started to lift, and I felt more in tune with what I wanted and where I was going.
Looking back, it was a tough period, no doubt. But I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I’m stronger than I thought, and that sometimes, you just gotta ride the wave, even when it feels like it’s crashing over you. And hey, if it takes Saturn doing its thing to teach me that, then so be it.
