Chiron in Pisces, February 8 2011
Most of the planets in our solar system travel through the zodiac (from our perspective here on earth) at approximately the same rate of speed, no matter what sign they are traveling through. The Sun takes about 30 days to go through each sign; Saturn takes approximately 26-28 months to go through a sign.

- Nine years in Aries
- Seven years in Taurus
- Four years in Gemini
- Three years in Cancer
- Two years in Leo
- Two years in Virgo
- Two years in Libra
- Two years in Scorpio
- Three years in Sagittarius
- Four years in Capricorn
- Six years in Aquarius
- Eight years in Pisces
