In January 2023, according to sidereal Vedic Astrology, Saturn entered the sign of Aquarius that is symbolised by the water-bearer, and will remain in Aquarius until the beginning of 2025. According to Vedic Astrology, Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, and therefore, Saturn‘s presence in its own sign makes this transit even more powerful.

The fact that Aquarius is symbolised by the waters of wisdom also means that during the movement of Saturn through Aquarius, you will have the opportunity to make decisions that are guided by your inner wisdom. You might even take your goals and visions for the coming times more seriously. There may be a lot of work to be done during this time, and Saturn grants the ability to rise up to the occasion and work for your own betterment, or to uplift lives of those whom you are deeply connected to in some way, either personally or professionally.

It is likely as well that new friendships and alliances will take birth, both on an individual and collective level. A friend or companion on your path might offer a meaningful way forward. In some manner, you are likely to receive the reward and blessings of friendship, often seen as respect for being the person whom you choose to be, even though you may have felt at times that you are misunderstood by a larger group. At the same time, you may be called upon to draw more clear boundaries in friendships or relationships.

Saturn allows you the time to adjust your vision to the bigger picture, and lay the foundations under your dreams, not worrying so much about what people might think of you in this process, but rather bringing light to what you know to be right for your own self at this time.

The sign of Aquarius relates to the air element (Vayu), and therefore this element will be active during Saturn‘s transit through Aquarius. It is an excellent time to focus on practices that rejuvenate the lungs, such as breathing exercises or Pranayama practices.

The air element is also associated with birds, and our relationship with bird life becomes significant during this time. Be kind and caring to the bird and animal kingdom in whatever way you can, and allow your acts of kindness to be like flowers of devotion offered to the River of pulsating life.
