Over the past couple of years, East/West astrology has been placing a lot of emphasis on massive change affecting all the major pillars of life (ie communications, world trade, global resource distribution, transportation, borders, education, medical). From a Feng Shui perspective, we are now in the opening phase of Period of 9 and this article explains what this means from a transitional perspective.
From a western astrological perspective, we are now entering a significant pivot point as Saturn (the karmic planet of life lessons) has recently entered Aries (from 25 May 2025), and then from 10 June 2025, Jupiter (the planet of expansion and luck potential) will shift into Cancer. It's worthwhile taking note of this new astrological positioning in connection with your personal Sun sign (ie where the Sun was positioned when you were born), and how this relates to your upcoming karmic life lessons (via Saturn’s influence) and your enhanced luck potential (via Jupiter’s influence).
Here’s an overview for the placement of Saturn’s life lessons and Jupiter’s expansive luck potential in regard to your personal Sun sign:
If you were born with the Sun in Aries: Saturn is now in your zone of Self and encouraging you to adopt a mature and responsible outlook in general over the next couple of years. If there is something important in your life that you have been avoiding or overlooking, Saturn will shine a spotlight on it, and life will work strongly in your favour if you take a disciplined approach to acknowledging and addressing whatever is being highlighted via difficult life lessons. If you get with the program and follow the rules, Saturn will reward your effort by helping you build solid foundations for the future. There will be opportunity to address your personal development by taking on more responsibility and journeying through a period of apprenticeship with potential to grow and evolve exponentially according to the effort you choose to put in.
Jupiter meanwhile is in its final phase of shining luck potential on your zone of communications until early June and is then going to highlight your zone of home and family over the next 12 months. This connects with abundance opportunity and the energy of expansion regarding where you live, who you live with and/or your family dynamic. It’s a supportive time to consider upgrading, beautifying, renovating or extending your home (as long as you are careful with your planning and budgeting and ensuring you don’t over-capitalise), and/or finding a new home and/or adding to your family.

If you were born with the Sun in Pisces: Saturn is now in your zone of income and financial management and it’s encouraging you to get real in regard to your budget, savings plan and putting aside money for the future. The more proactive you are in regard to living within your means and budgeting for the future, the more likely you are to build a substantial nest egg of savings while also reducing anxiety around money in general. Some good books to help you get started are: “She’s On the Money: Take Charge of Your Financial Future” by Victoria Devine and “The Barefoot Investor” by Scott Pape.
Jupiter meanwhile is in its final phase of shining luck potential on your zone of home and family until early June and is then going to highlight your zone of creativity, fertility, romance and leisure activities. This is Jupiter’s fun zone where you are being encouraged to get creative, explore new hobbies, get social and explore new ideas and relationships.

If you were born with the Sun in Aquarius: Saturn is now in your zone of communications. A key mantra for you over the next couple of years is: “your word is your wand”. This will be an apprenticeship in fine tuning and acknowledging issues connected with miscommunication, your negotiation skill and the way in which you are perceived by others via your inherent communication style. Saturn will encourage you to communicate with clarity, empathy and consideration for others. If you tend to talk over others or not really listen, Saturn will highlight this with difficult life lessons – esp during the Mercury retrograde phases throughout the next couple of years. If you are diligent and disciplined towards upgrading your communication style and really taking the time to observe, listen and absorb what you are hearing before responding, Saturn will help you evolve and build deeper relationships while communicating more effectively with others.
Jupiter meanwhile is in its final phase of shining luck potential on your zone of creativity, fertility, leisure activities and romance until early June and is then going to highlight your zone of health and work. This is a fortuitous time to get organised with your paperwork, address a harmonious work/life balance and establish long term routines connected with your health. Jupiter can help you connect with the right health practitioners and/or new wellness routines to aid you in your personal health and healing journey.

If you were born with the Sun in Capricorn: Saturn is now in your zone of home and family and is encouraging you to get serious and address this part of your life over the next couple of years. Saturn’s life lessons may come in the guise of seemingly never-ending renovations, potentially difficult neighbours, change concerning where you live, who you live with, the general living arrangements in your home, etc. These are important life lessons, so try to keep your cool and spend plenty of quality time with loved ones. If you are planning renovations or extensions during the next couple of years, be extra careful with your due diligence, legal requirements, budgeting and ensure your contractors have adequate insurances in place and come with extensive experience and positive reviews.
Jupiter meanwhile is in its final phase of shining luck potential on your zone of routines connected with health and work until early June and is then going to highlight your zone of relationships and contractual commitments for the next 12 months. You are more likely to connect with a special someone and/or supportive business partnerships and there will be added luck potential connected with potential joint venture agreements. Jupiter will also lend a helping hand in regard to addressing unresolved legal issues and/or connecting with supportive relationship counselling if required.

If you were born with the Sun in Sagittarius: Saturn is now in your zone of creativity, fertility, romance and leisure activities and is encouraging you to get serious and organised in regard to your connection with a child or an important project, to explore the depth of a current relationship, consider transforming a hobby into a potential business and explore productive ways in which you can reduce and release pent up stress/anxiety.
Jupiter meanwhile is in its final phase of shining luck potential on your zone of partnerships and contractual commitment and obligations until early June and is then going to highlight your zone of inner transformation, sexuality, asset accumulation and shared resources. Jupiter’s effect in this zone can be highly transformative at a deep inner level as well as open the door to new opportunity for increased income/equity via joint ventures, shared resources, commission, inheritance and/or long-term investments.

If you were born with the Sun in Scorpio: Saturn is now in your zone of routines connected with health and work. This is a very important influence whereby Saturn is strongly encouraging you to get serious in regard to your work/life balance and to establish long term routines that support your health and wellbeing as well as getting organised with your paperwork, upgrade and fine tune work systems and focus on working smarter not harder. Ensure you are up to date with annual health checks and if there are any niggling health issues currently affecting you, now is the time to address them and get checked by a medical professional. If you make smart choices regarding your health over the next couple of years, Saturn will reward your discipline towards maintaining healthy routines. Conversely, if you avoid looking after your health, Saturn is more likely to send tough life lessons your way. You may also find this article helpful: Feng Shui 4 Pillars Astrology and Your Health
Jupiter meanwhile is in its final phase of shining luck potential on your zone of inner transformation, asset accumulation and shared resources until early June and is then going to highlight your zone of higher education, teaching, learning, law, perspective, long distance travel and spirituality. This is a great time for all forms of education, fine tuning your skillset with specialised training, develop and start teaching a course, seek professional legal advice, address quality assurance and risk control in your business practice and open your perspective via international travel and/or interactions with people from foreign countries.

Note: we experience a phenomenon known as the Saturn Return 3 times during each lifetime, around the ages of 29, 58 and 87 yrs old.
Saturn Return refers to the placement of Saturn returning to its original natal degree at your time of birth. It’s worth taking extra heed of what is written in regard to Saturn’s placement if you are close to one of these specific ages because it represents a major transitional phase in your life, with 58 being the age most commonly referred to as a ‘mid-life crisis’ mind set. From a 4 Pillars Astrology perspective, around the age of 58 you are also most likely journeying through a clash between your month pillar of birth and your current 10 yr luck pillar which indicates the energy of change in regard to your relationship with work, career and/or with people in a position of authority.
This isn’t necessarily a negative thing, it simply provides an astrological indicator that it’s time for you to take stock of where you are and the path you would like to head towards, and to make a concerted effort to adjust your sails if needed in order to still reach your goals.
If you are fundamentally content and happy with where life has taken you thus far, then your Saturn Return will help you further strengthen the foundations already put in place. If you are fundamentally dissatisfied with your current trajectory, then your Saturn Return age can help you pivot and reconnect with your true purpose and a more authentic path.
