Jupiter Square Saturn: What You Need To Know
This 3-part transit only happens once every decade!
In astrology, we measure how powerful a transit is by how often it strikes. Of course, all planetary alignments are important and impactful in their own ways. However, transits that occur infrequently (like the infamous Saturn Return, which occurs for the first time during your 30th year) create massive cosmic ripples that catalyze major personal and collective transformation.
And, one of those moments is upon us.
On Monday, August 19, Jupiter (the planet of expansion) meets up with Saturn (the planet of limitations) at a tense 90° angle for the first time since 2016. Given this transit only occurs about every 10-years or so, it’s pretty major. Due to the retrograde cycles, Jupiter-square-Saturn is a powerful 3-part transit that unfolds over the course of about 10-months. This means that a brand new narrative is beginning to unfold on the celestial stage, and it has a lot in store for us. Through June 2025, we’ll be faced with important insights and essential challenges, marking a period of maturation and evolution, personally and globally.
At the same time, we’re picking up where we left off in 2016. This Jupiter-Saturn square continues a story that began eight-years ago, in mutable signs. Whatever life lessons you were learning in 2016 are likely to resurface, and you’ll be prompted to build on those same themes.
So, what does this transit mean for you? And how you can you prepare for it? Below, everything you need to know about the Jupiter-Saturn square, including reflection questions to help you understand how it impacts you, personally.
