Karma is coming in hot when Saturn goes direct in Pisces this week

Sharpen your pencils and gird your loins, folks.Saturn, our dream-crushing planet of structure and limits, is going direct in Pisces this Friday, Nov.

15.Once considered the last planet in the solar system, Saturn is known as a malefic, associated with endings, limits, the long run, hard knocks, tough love, legacies, things built to last and the wisdom of experience.

Saturn is named for the Roman god of time, agriculture and renewal, oft depicted with an errant party boob popping out of his toga and a sickle in his hand.This aggro instrument is apt when we consider the function of the planet in our lives and the perennial message that we reap what we sow and are only as strong as our ability to sever and sacrifice.Saturn has been retrograding in Pisces since June 29, slowly rolling through the muck and the mire.When Saturn is retrograde, we are compelled to turn inward and better understand the limitations we have placed on ourselves.

In Pisces, that introspection is colored by issues of mental health and spirituality, our connection to our highest selves and our perception of reality, as well as our relationship to avoidance, distraction and escapism.In its slowdown, Saturn in Pisces asks us to reflect on the lies we’ve told ourselves, the bulls–t we’ve bought into, and the shortcuts we’ve taken to our detriment.

A few hours before the Taurus full moon peaks, Saturn will go direct, full tilt and wooden paddle at 12 degrees of Pisces.At its highest expression, Saturn roots and reminds us that without depth, there can be no true growth, and without work, no reward.

If you’ve been digging deep and doing the work, trying to reprogram yourself and better understand when, how and why you self-sabotage, then daddy Saturn is here to give you an atta boy and pave your way with smooth stones.Find out what the stars reveal about your day with our Daily Horoscopes newsletter.
