for the freaks
on saturn in aries and mercury rx in pisces
Last week, I connected again with my friend Kelsey Tortorice and we went all in on Saturn in Aries. We actually happened to be talking on the final day of Saturn in Pisces, which beautifully colors the conversation in the first half. We talk about the challenges, lessons, and gifts of that transit, before things start to heat up as we talk about what is coming up with Saturn in Aries.
I appreciate this conversation as a way for folks to gain some essential context for what to expect over the coming two and half years, and beyond. I’ve written a lot about self-authority and inner resourcing over the last several months and years, and now is the time that these tools are really needing to come into play. The collective is finally learning (though it often feels too slowly, too late) that the institutions that educate, medicate, and govern us are not moral or spiritual authorities. So as we witness the collapse of these systems, personal responsibility and discipline of attention will be necessary.
This is beyond emotional regulation, DSM diagnoses, and girlboss power tips. Saturn in Aries asks if you know who the fuck you are, and how to show up for yourself.
Come back to this recording, as often as you need to. This transit is two and a half years long. It is the beginning of a whole new energetic shift, marked by Saturn’s conjunction at zero degrees with Neptune shortly after its ingress. There are lots of reflections and expectations we share in the episode to make the madness of what is unfolding clearer.

Also happening now, as of today - Mercury has stationed retrograde in Pisces. Right after Saturn has left it. With a stellium in that sign as well. Great! I got some messages from my guidance today on how to manage it: don’t make a romance out of your pain. Stay out of stories that disempower you, make you feel helpless, or distract you from what you know what matters most to you. You’re going to feel impatient. You’re going to want answers now. But that’s not what is best to expect at this moment. What you’ll get are invitations to let go. To rest. To review. To organize. To cry. To write. To dream. Don’t fall for easy answers. Trust that grief is a teacher and a lover and a friend, but it is not your enemy.
