transiting saturn in capricorn is moving closer to pluto for a january 22 conjunction for the first time in 500 years. i can’t remember living through one but i wonder if that sense of constantly pushing through resistance, entrapment, suffocation, everything is becoming untenable will continue or even accelerate until this event. humanity has experienced this all before over centuries of 31-37 year cycles, but they have never had the awareness and preparation that we do, the archetype of pluto had not been fully awoken into consciousness until being discovered in 1930. we now know more about pluto than we ever have, so we know more about ourselves. one dynamic of the archetype is the ‘angel’ or inner self helper, but we don’t see this. the other pluto dynamic is not a ‘curse’ or prophecy - it expresses in the figures of public life and corporations built on greed, consumption, and corruption, the abuses of authority, the leaders who rule by fear, lies, and devision, the ones with such lustre for power and indecency. these are the projected figures and interpretations of pluto walking amongst us, and then it’s important to remember that the inherent nature of pluto is truth, deaths, ending, and transformation. even the most wicked and tyrannous of men are not immune to the lord of the underworld’s orders. the one within themselves and the one inside of us.

Before the end of 2020, great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn

“Jupiter and Saturn are getting closer, as they near their once-in-20-years conjunction on December 21, 2020. At their closest, they’ll be only 0.1 degrees apart. That’s just 1/5 of a full moon diameter. Start watching them now, and you’ll see them draw close together.”

“You can’t miss these worlds in Earth’s sky now. Jupiter is the brightest starlike object up every evening! The extra-close Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 2020 won’t be matched again until the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of March 15, 2080.But don’t wait until December to start watching these worlds. They’re visible tonight and every night – near each other for the rest of 2020 – an appealing and mind-expanding sight!“

“Most of us aren’t astronauts, and we’ll never see “the big picture” quite like that. On Earth, photos from a giant orbiting telescope, capturing the grandeur of the cosmos, are as close as we can get. The appeal of these images is durable enough that a website called Astronomy Picture of the Day has been running since 1995, the year Hubble reached into a dark void and plucked out glittering treasures. The site looks just as it did 25 years ago, with the no-frills Times New Roman look of the early internet. Robert Nemiroff, an astronomer at Michigan Tech and a co-founder of the website, told me that pageviews are up by about 75 percent compared with last year’s, starting with a spike in April. These visitors didn’t leave behind any clues about their intentions—perhaps people were simply spending more time online, cooped up inside; perhaps they were looking for a jolt of feeling that would shake their perspective out from within the walls of their own home.”

Whether you've heard about the Saturn Pluto conjunction on Jan 12, 2020 or you haven't, it doesn't matter. There has been an ominous sense of doom pervading and growing in our lives for quite some time. There is death, loss, and a foreboding anxiety about what may be lost next. Depending upon where this is happening in you natal chart paints the picture of how and what kind of dread you've been experiencing. And it's not just happening to you. It's happening to everyone everywhere, and it's happening on the geo-political and socio-economic stage. Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn take NO prisoners. Trust me. We have 38 days to look up from the trenches we've dug for ourselves and build whatever it takes to emerge into a magic we so desperately want and need. It won't happen without commitment.
