won't not can't

okay so it’s about time for an astrology post about the coronavirus. this post is going to be divided in two parts: analysis of the transits during the development of covid 19 so far and some lame ass prognostics based on future transits. don’t take it too seriously or base anything you do on what you read, i’m just curious if i’m gonna be right.

analysis of the transits so far:

• november 17th 2019: first case of covid 19 was detected. at the time, saturn and pluto were already approaching each other and are in orb for a conjunction with saturn at 16 degrees capricorn and pluto at 21. i’m going to discuss the symbolism of this conj in the next date on the list. saturn is opposing north node in cancer - difficulties, obstacles and pestilence are directly interfering with our fate and the feeling of comfort it might bring. another aspect worth exploring at the time is mars sextile jupiter opposition uranus in taurus - there’s a green light for any sudden outbursts and accidents that can injure us physically and this might happen on a global scale in a way that is related to nature. we also have jupiter square chiron - from my experience with reading natal charts, harsh aspects between chiron and jupiter usually indicate an expansion of pain, a good environment for hurtful things to happen. the sun is trine chiron and sextile pluto which makes those two Bringers of Misery (and healing) even stronger. • january 13th 2020: technically the noise around coronavirus started on the last day of 2019 when the world health organization was informed about as many as 44 patients that have an unknown type of pneumonia in Wuhan, China. but things became more clear around 11-12th when there was more info on how the disease started and was spread and when the new type of coronavirus was publicly identified and its genetic sequence was shared with other countries so they can use it for developing diagnostic kits. around that date, other countries started reporting cases of the virus. so i think it’s safe to say that’s when shit started getting serious. now, as all respectful astro geeks know, january the 13th is when the infamous saturn/pluto/sun/mercury conjunction took place. in motherfucking capricorn. let’s talk about what this means. now we all know saturn conjunction pluto has been an indicator for earth-shaking disasters throughout the centuries. before pluto was discovered - meaning until less than 100 hundred years ago, saturn was the official daddy of death and dark stuffs. saturn is also the symbol of lead in alchemy; lead is the base matter (prima materia), the shit that one has to turn into gold. it’s the primitive chaos we all need to tame and work on in order to have good things and live an honorable life. saturn is also associated with pestilence - i was reading a book about the role of pestilence in medieval english literature by brion lee grigsby recently and i think it will be useful to share some quotes i found in it: “No one was quite sure what Saturn had or did, but most experts felt that its combination with anything was bad” (Gottfried, Black Death, 111) - imagine what it indicates when it’s in its own sign of rulership and is combined with pluto, an archetype mostly associated with transformation on a LARGE scale and death. “In the Knight’s Tale, Saturn states to his daughter Venus “My lookyng is the fader of pestilence”. Since Chaucer was the first person to translate astrological work into the vernacular, namely “A treatise on the Astrolabe”, we can assume that he was knowledgeable of contemporary astrological learning. Therefore, on the authority of Chaucer, we learn that Saturn foretold the coming of pestilence.“ need i say more? many modern astrologers have forgotten saturn’s correlation to pandemics but it’s there and it’s twice as intense when it’s combined with pluto. and any planet in capricorn is bound to affect society and the social order, especially when it comes to economics and finances (which are deeply disturbed by the coronavirus crisis). let’s see what else have we got during this significant conjunction: oh yes, the sun and mercury have joined it too, putting into light the hidden energies of pluto and saturn and making them affect our communication on a global scale (that’s when it was publicly announced that the new virus exists and is spreading and people started talking about it). jupiter is in capricorn too making the abundance of capricorn energy even more intense. but it’s nothing compared to what’s coming when jupiter joins pluto and saturn in the conjunction. mars is trine chiron and square venus, making this a good time for wounds and illnesses on the physical body. • march 11th 2020: that’s the last date in the past that i’m going to look into. shit has been getting progressively more and more real as jupiter was approaching saturn and pluto. and yeah, jupiter is playing a larger role in this than one might think. in general, the jupiter archetype is one of the most misunderstood ones in modern astrology. it’s portrayed as some fat clown that’s constantly dropping bags of luck and fortune on people while simultaneously drinking wine from a jug and screaming obscenities. jupiter is not about fortune, jupiter is about the abundance that leads to inevitable decay. jupiter is about being stuffed until you burst open as opposed to saturn that’s about being so thin you’re almost gone and having to train mercilessly to gain some muscle. let’s look at the transits when the pandemic was announced: we got a wide conjunction between jupiter on 21, pluto on 24 and saturn on 29 degrees capricorn. bitchez are getting closer as they’re dancing with death. jupiter is expanding the effect of the saturn (pestillence) conjunct pluto (large scale transformation). but that’s not the most significant change in transits that happened between january 13th and march 11th. let’s look at mars but first, it’s time for some more quotes from my cryptic book. "Doctors believe that the alignment of Jupiter, a warm and moist planet, and Mars, a hot and dry planet, were the root cause of pestilence. When this alignment occurred, Mars ignited the excessive moisture from Jupiter and these rays rained down on the earth thus affecting the miasma. However, Saturn also figured into this portent, as he does in Piers Plowman.” AND ALSO, as Geoffrey de Meaux said all those years ago, “I do not wish to imply that the mortality comes only from Saturn and Jupiter but rather through Mars, which was mixed with them at the time of eclipse.” (Horrox 171) by the time coronavirus was infecting and killing too many people, mars is conjunct jupiter with a 5 degrees orb. so when the pestilence was rising, the conjunction was mad tight. seems like these old dogs were kinda right, weren’t they? we also have chiron square north node with like a 0° 0’ orb - the archetypes of karmic fate and pain/wounds are clashing hard. another aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked is sun cojunction neptune in pisces. this whole thing is unfolding when neptune is in its own sign and is very strong. this indicates the strong panic and misinformation going on rn and how people, even now, are not quite sure whether this whole pandemic thing isn’t just a hoax, an illusion, and are living their lives as if nothing’s happening - or panicking so hard as if the world is coming to an end. anyway this got super long as it is so i’m moving to the second part with the prognosis and i’m gonna keep it short there.

some lame ass prognostics:

• 4th of april 2020 is when the first jupiter/pluto conjunction occurrs for the year. yeah, first out of three. so what i expect is the virus and the repercussions it has on our economic system and our lives to vary between those three conjunctions, intensifying as the tightest aspect is approached. i expect the number of infected and dead people to rise until the 4th of april. also can i just say the number 44 has been haunting me for so long and i’ve noticed it’s an indicator of something bad and in many cultures, 4 signifies death and lack of movement… jupiter intensifies and spreads the power of plutonic transformation and destruction. meanwhile saturn has already moved into aquarius which signifies a large shift in our social and financial structure. jobs will be lost, companies will go bankrupt, more and more jobs will be reshaped so they can be done online and from home (after all aquarius is connected to technology advancement). expect chaos and sudden changes. we have mercury conjunction neptune so expect even more misinformation surrounding what’s going on with the spreading of the virus and the inevitable recession. the media will vomit the illusions generated by the government to keep the people desensitized. north node is still square chiron. mars is square uranus and conjunct saturn tightly - abrupt and unpredictable physical harm in the shape of pestilence. from then on i expect a decline in the spreading of the virus. jupiter and pluto are moving further apart and things won’t happen so intensely tho people would still get ill and suffer. the cases will begin rising again around the middle of june. • 30th of june 2020 is when the second jupiter/pluto conjunction occurs. both planets are moving retrograde along with saturn, neptune and mercury. i suppose the second wave would be caused by people not taking the safety measures seriously anymore and traveling to the seaside for the holidays when it’s being advised against. we would need to revisit the situation from march and implement the same measures again, repeating the exact same thing. sun is conjunct mercury so there will be a more clear representation of what is happening and people won’t be acting like lost sheep anymore.  we have mars square north node which means our physical activities and drive to do stuff will clash with our karmic fate. • 12th of november 2020 is when the third jupiter/pluto conjunction happens. and mind you, at 22 degrees capricorn - just like the saturn/pluto conjunction from january the 13th. what does that mean? well, the cycle is being closed. i believe this is when we’re going to be hit the hardest by the recession and understand the consequences of the class war that this virus has largely revealed to us in more vivid colours. rich people are going to survive this pestilence and ride the wave to exploit the working class even better now that people are largely losing their jobs and struggling to keep up with their payments. of course, this largely depends on what kind of actions is the government taking to protect its people and if the people are letting it treat them poorly. venus is harshly aspected - an opposition with mars, a square with pluto and jupiter…people will struggle with upholding their values and will be forced to revise them, for better or for worse. we also have neptune square north node which means there will be no clarity about where we’re headed and we will be spoonfed lies and illusions about our future. • 21st of december 2020. THE FINAL MFKING TRANSIT. okay this one is important. we have the JUPITER CONJUNCT SATURN transit here. for those of you who haven’t heard, that’s one of the most important aspects ever. it’s known as “the great conjunction” and it occurs like every 20 years. it signifies the transition between death and birth, ripeness and decay. that’s that one rare moment where expansion and restriction melt together and create a sparkle, something new but ancient, something that binds together past and future…something eternal. people born with that conjunction in their chart are usually complex mfs who either break down under the weight of trying to combine those two polarities together or create something extremely enduring and fortunate. people born with an inconjunction of jupiter and saturn like me are miserable fools tho lmao. anyway so that conjunction happens in the very first degree of aquarius - right on the 0. this is the beginning of the cycle, like…an intro into the new age of aquarius, if you will (even if we’re far from it actually). that’s when the virus will be gone for good and we would have to combine the expansive vision of jupiter with the good parts of the structure and discipline saturn has taught us over the years. we have sun conjunct mercury in capricorn at 0 degrees so this is a time when hard work has to be put into rational thinking and building up structures. mars is square pluto - there is violence in the air, people are on edge. neptune is still square north node, making our future blurry. but the pandemic will be over. now delving a bit more into the numerology of things i gotta say i’m loving the sequence between the dates: first we have the 4.4, then the 30.6, then 12.11…and the great conjunction happens at 0 degrees and we have another major conjunction on the same date again at 0 degrees! so we’re basically moving from 4 backward to the new start of zero. and then the new year begins lmfao. i’m gonna talk about the date 21.12.2020 and its meaning in numerology in another post if i ever get to it but let me finish this one with a friendly reminder:

the planets don’t necessarily show what’s going to happen. often they’re indicators of energies people take advantage of, especially people in power, in order to control how things are happening. they don’t show us the impending future. they are simple indicators of the cyclic nature of life and if we don’t make use of these cycles, someone else will - and it might be at our own expense.

actual grandmas

suckers for planning vacations… imaginary or otherwise

very romantic in the old-fashioned way but would rather die than admit it

being extremely caring and getting a stroke trying to show it. the type that will literally find it easier to fix every problem in your life than straight up saying “i care about you deeply”. so PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR ACTIONS 😡

making little mental notes about what your friends/family/partners like for future use 😈

freaking out a little when someone wants to hang out with you with no plan. “let’s meet for coffee!” yeah ok and then what

always worrying that you’re too boring/picky/repressed for other people 3

they do have high standards yes, but once they decide you’re a part of their life they’re extremely committed and devoted to you. it will take a lot for them to look at a flaw of yours and think they’re done with you… instead they will insist on sticking around and making you (and themselves) better 🥺

severe fear of rejection and not being good enough. more sensitive than they let on

HATES wasting time on people who aren’t worth it, so may take a while to get past their defenses and walls but time and consistency is the most effective way of getting to their soft side

usually loners so they have a soft spot for other loners

very independent and self-sufficient so they’re terrified of the notion of needing other people. on the other hand though, they also find it very difficult to trust people they view as undependable 😬 they like to know you’ll be their rock if the situation ever calls for it (just like they are for you) without making them feel weak for it

this photo does no justice but the new year started with a cheshire cat grin of a moon and i remember looking up the term to make sure the expression was correct and seeing:

Saturn aspects to Inner Planets  Lonely Childhood

Sun-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Sun conjunct Saturn, Sun square Saturn, Sun opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Sun sextile Saturn, Sun trine Saturn

People who were forbidden from expressing their true nature and conditioned as a product of parental ideals and unmet dreams, a product of secrecy or shame, or were forced to play the role of one of the parents can become accustomed to wearing the mask of a person who is substantially more confident, self-assured, and sure of themselves than they are, sometimes it can be exaggerated to the degree that they seem overly egotistical or refuse to admit their flaws or mistakes because they are so afraid of bruising an already beaten ego

Moon-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Moon conjunct Saturn, Moon square Saturn, Moonopposite Saturn to a lesser degree Moon sextile Saturn, Moon trine Saturn

People who were denied as children from emotional validation or demonstration, exposed to caregivers who were emotionally cold and disengaged, very dualistic and double sided, and were neglected in some form due to their parent’s unresolved emotional issues can be overly theatrical and demonstrative in their emotional gestures because they feel it necessary to be as loud and disruptive as possible to get any sort of emotional response they need from the person - they are conditioned to go to the extreme in order to receive little

Mercury-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Mercury conjunct Saturn,Mercury square Saturn, Mercury opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Mercury sextile Saturn, Mercury trine Saturn

People who were bought up as children with the attitude of ‘children should not be seen or heard’ or were frequently silenced, ridiculed for their questions or answers, or denied of a voice can be dominant in conversation, mystifyingly long winded in explanation, or regularly cut people off. They are desperate to ensure their message is being communicated

Venus-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Venus conjunct Saturn,Venus square Saturn, Venus opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Venus sextile Saturn, Venus trine Saturn

People who were denied as children from reciprocal displays of affection and shown to be loved, exposed to parental dynamics that lacked intimacy, or where love and attention was given and taken with conditions can have an endless pit of need for affection, physical and verbal validation that they are worthy or desired, and attract relationships that mirror the parent they want to re-create the ideal circumstance with

Mars-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Mars conjunct Saturn, Marssquare Saturn, Mars opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Mars sextile Saturn, Mars trine Saturn

People who as children were forced to compete for attention or recognition, bound into engaging in futile battle or relentless defence against an adult(s) opponent with a substantially unfair advantage in every possible way, and imposed into harsh, gruelling, and brutal competition and training regimes can be very resistant to any form of discipline or authority as adults, refusing to maintain a schedule or force themselves to do anything – they have already expended enough energy on ensuring their place of parental pride. They can have immense difficulty figuring out a direction and take every behaviour to compulsion because they never learned how to manage with under activity or lack of demands

Jupiter-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Jupiter conjunct Saturn, Jupiter square Saturn, Jupiter opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Jupiter sextile Saturn, Jupiter trine Saturn

People who as children were subjected to very bleak perspectives and strict religious teachings, doomsday or apocalyptical philosophies, and depressive episodes from one or both of the parents can be normalised into believing that emotions can only be regulated through external consumptions such as sex or alcohol, there is no purpose in existence regardless, their self-destructive or self-fatalistic thoughts and feelings, and frequent loss of hope for the future, existence, and sense of significance are unremarkable and experienced by everybody

Pluto seems to be another subject folks are obsessed with, so I’ll be kind enough to humour the masses. When it comes to natal aspects, Pluto shows how we used its energy in past lifetimes. It represents the qualities that are unknown to the conscious self. It’ll be the strongest force in a birth chart when posited in an angular house (the ascendant [1st house], the imum coeli/ic [4th house], the descendant [7th house], and the midheaven/mc [10th house]) and strongly configuration with the Sun, Moon, or Mercury. Squares and oppositions strengthen the fortitude of those who are of strong character; trines and sextiles can often make one take the line of least resistance and revel in complacency and mediocrity, especially in those who are of weak character. Here are the major natal Saturn/Pluto aspects.

saturn conjunct pluto: This is a deeply questioning individual who can be a bit too serious, oversuspicious and aloof. This native has an extreme distaste for the superficial and they spend time trying to find the deeper meaning behind physical existence. Might have a life marked by periods of extreme self-denial and/or self-discipline. This person doesn’t do anything unless his peers approve of it, and they hate to be embarrassed. They can suffer from intense despondency or even depression, and they take themselves (and others) way too seriously.

saturn trine/sextile pluto: The native is great at handling other people’s money, since there is a keen judgment and stamina when working toward a goal. They’re some of the most reliable people around, and exceedingly trustworthy. They make no excuses and they have good common sense. Their leadership is well-earned and well-deserved, since theirs isn’t an overnight success story; usually they’ve had to make sacrifices and climbed slowly and patiently to their goal through hard work and discipline. They can be too hard on themselves and a tad too conservative.

saturn square pluto: The native has a very strong ego and emotional intensity; as such, when they’re crossed, they can be very vindictive. Spells of great jealousy lust, and an overdeveloped sensuality can cause this person grief. Their desire for power and authority can make this individual devious in their methods of obtaining it, and they can be great liars. They have periods of withdrawal from close contact with others. The person may generally have an interest in the occult as well as a latent psychic ability

bad girls go to mars 

lucky girls go to jupiter chosen girls go to saturn 

Aries on the MC: Survival is part of the success story, is unafraid of what the world has to say because actions speak louder than anything Taurus on the MC: Early experiences give money power, especially deprivation causing an insatiable desire, or restricted spending and rarely on themselves Gemini on the MC: Forced to make a decision between two paths they want equally as much, and these can be completely unrelated to each other Cancer on the MC: Pressures and tensions of life decrease with age, a brilliant story may be kept secret  Leo on the MC: It serves well when they recognise that living out a parent’s dream will not replace the love they need Virgo on the MC: Sacrifices acclaim for the quiet applause of service and virtue, invisible yet vital Libra on the MC: Suffers from the envy of others who have the impression that she lives a rosier life Scorpio on the MC: Not prepared to provide an explanation for the choices made across their lives

Sagittarius on the MC: Often forced to decide between the path of acclaim,  expectation, and comfort, or the wild calling of their joy and natural bliss Capricorn on the MC: “Wrong place, wrong time” is the excerpt of life until the path of expectation is abandoned for authentic passion Aquarius on the MC: Sickened by the ill actions of humanity, yet to help the exiled means relating to humanity and inevitably those malicious characters who first caused their dissent   Pisces on the MC: The professional life is unstable and unfolds in alignment with their spiritual path and not in time with other people or expectations
