After months of relentless change, four zodiac signs are finally getting a reprieve. According to astrologer Eleanor, a long stretch of difficulty has come to an end. Saturn's transit through Pisces lasted from March 2023 until February, a period Eleanor describes as years filled with heaviness, delays, and responsibilities people did not feel prepared for. The Virgo-Pisces eclipse cycle then added another layer of upheaval.
Eleanor notes that Saturn has now left Pisces, the Nodes have moved off the Virgo-Pisces axis, and the most intense portion of the eclipse cycle is over. The Virgo New Moon, she says, marks the beginning of a new era. For the four signs affected, that means life is settling down after a long stretch of transformation.
For Gemini, the past few years demanded so much problem-solving that even a natural talent for adapting grew tiring, according to Eleanor. With the pressure easing, Gemini now has the mental room to feel curious again. Eleanor says the sign will begin agreeing to things once more, visiting new places, and considering what the next six months might hold. The shift does not mean a return to the past, but rather a new chapter in which Gemini decides what deserves its time.
Virgo has spent recent years in a constant state of responding, Eleanor explains, adjusting whenever something changed and handling whatever others needed. That pattern took a toll, leading Virgo to neglect its own well-being. The Virgo New Moon opened a new era, and the efforts Virgo has invested over the past two years are now beginning to show results. Virgo is moving away from fixing everything for everyone else.
Sagittarius, typically the eternal optimist, has struggled to hold on to hope. Eleanor says that although the sign usually finds something to look forward to even when life is irritating, the past few years made that mindset far more difficult to sustain. The sign has not felt like itself in a while.
Pisces has changed more than any other sign, according to Eleanor, though the sign may not fully realize it. Saturn moved through Pisces for about three years, forcing the sign to confront consequences, responsibilities, boundaries, time, and endings. The Virgo-Pisces eclipses then brought further change to Pisces' relationships. As the sign worked out who it was becoming, the people around it were also changing, and certain connections turned out not to be meant to last. Pisces cut those people from its life, and Eleanor says the sign can now expect rewards for what it endured.
The Virgo New Moon launched a fresh chapter for those involved. Past versions of the self are no longer the focus. The person who emerged from these years is one to embrace, along with a sense of renewed power.
