Its interesting because Saturn is said to find its "joy" in the 12th house . This as far as Hellenistic Astrology is concerned.My thinking is that since the 12th house is all about being remote, exclusive, living a hermit lifestyle, shying away from the public spotlight or protecting ones privacy etc.
Saturn here would mean that the native is able (more easily than most people) to discipline themselves and thus shut out the outside world(Sat) and focus more on what is happening within themselves (12th).
I don't see Saturn transit to the 12th house as being a time where anyone undergoing the transit, will focus on secular media and the goings on of everyday life.
This is in stark contrast to Mars who finds its joy in the 6th house. Here the native is very much about everyday life, trends, media upkeep and interacting with life from a more engaged & alert perspective. So anyone undergoing this transit will certainly not be the type to "rest on their laurels".
But Saturn in 12th is like the writer who actively seeks solitude to finish their book. They want to be away from all the hustle and bustle (6th) and focus their attention on one thing.
This detachment from the "hustle and bustle" is not always necessarily literal. It could also just mean that the native may downsize on other functions at work to focus on one specific area.
So perhaps when Saturn transits the 12th house, one leaves the rat race for the top post in corporate, to focus on something that will be more fulfilling? i.e going back to school to study ?drawing a business plan for their own restaurant? taking time off work to have kids/ travel? or do the things that will bring a sense of clear, spiritual purpose in their lives? Or more fulfillment outside the hierachial demands of society?
For Pisces Rising people, Saturn started its transit in the 12th house in March 2020 when Saturn went into Aqua- coinciding with the outbreak of covid and subsequent lockdown restrictions.
During this 2 1/2 year period, interest in work/avenues that don't have a spiritual or "charity driven" objectives etc. May have been steered away from.
Too much focus on "bottom line" and "number crunching" etc. Would have exhausted their spirit as they detached from a world that was more about $ and cents.
During this tenure, many may have perhaps realized just how completely unsatisfying their work is from an introspective level. Perhaps seen it as incompatible with their purpose(this even if they didnt know what that purpose was).
It may have been a confusing period of "so if I don't like my job, what else can I do?" questions that need more introspective answers.
Saturn won't necessarily provide what the answer is. But it will certainly clarify what the answer is not.
Deep introspection will sort out the riff raff in between. This so that when Saturn moves to house 1, there is increased tenacity, discipline and surefootedness towards whatever that conceived goal during the Saturn in 12th house period was.
Saturn will transit Pisces and will be in house 12 for Aries Ascendants around March 2023. I will report back on what all of that will be like on my end.
