​2020 OVerview

2020 will likely be the year of reforms, with so many global-political-economic and environment changes taking place that were only hinted at in 2019. Although these changes reflect a year of uncertainty, there is at least a sense that things are happening. This is because of planets moving into sidereal Capricorn, a movable sign, including its ruling planet Saturn.

There are 7 eclipses if you count Dec 26, 2019 amongst them, more than other years, while all 3 solar eclipses occur close to the Solstices; in December 2019, June and December 2020. In the background, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction shows bigger changes in power structures and borders, just as we saw in 2019, while Jupiter’s long conjunction with Pluto throughout the year shows a re-drafting of laws and policies which will need to be put in place to keep some sense of order. Mars joins the planets in Sagittarius and Capricorn in the spring, reflecting more acute reactions and explosive events in February and March. And then soon after, from the end of March to the end of May, all the planets are on one side of the Moon’s nodes, making for an extremely potent but volatile period as they transit destructive lunar mansions (Ārdrā and Mūla).

This leads to more war-like situations in the spring. By September, the nodes move into Taurus and Scorpio, shifting the emphasis from a ‘crisis of meaning’ (Gemini-Sagittarius) to an existential crisis and fears around resources (Taurus-Scorpio). After the year in conjunction with Pluto, Jupiter’s conjunction with Saturn finishes the year on a sombre note, but we must keep the faith in something we cannot see, as well as something more than money, as we will likely see world economies on the brink of collapse by the end of the year and into 2021. Thankfully, Saturn’s strength promotes responsible reactions and a complete reboot this time around, unlike the last time Jupiter met with Pluto 12 years ago (2008). 

We will need a spiritual perspective, remaining centred in something that isn’t changing, as big changes within global-political-economic and environment structures continue to push boundaries, forcing some to retreat, furthering a nationalistic approach to the problem of immigration, as well as individuals considering their own boundaries, possibly retreating to deal with big issues in their own lives.

Others may feel forced to push back and rebel against more powerful entities, including governments and big businesses which attempt to take a firmer hold throughout 2020. All the planets are retrograde in 2020 and when this is added to all the conjunctions and eclipses, we can see this as change, followed by review, then more change and further review! Thankfully, all the visible planets are in great dignity during the year, helping us make the necessary adjustments.

2020 is all about getting real, doing what needs to be done, while finding out better ways to direct our attention in the world around us and in our imagination. As planets gather in Capricorn, they leave Sagittarius so we can get clear about which direction is right to take. Without clear advice and insight guiding us, we cannot venture forward and build anew. Sometimes, venturing forward requires we retrace our tracks, before we eventually see the route up ahead. 2020 is a year knuckle down and just get on with it – whatever ‘it’ is for you personally, but merely the beginning of a new decade of great change on our planet.

The time for philosophising is over and needs to be replaced with action. For all the fear that existed in 2019, it has shown up as mainly inaction and gloomy anticipation, which now leaves way for a matter-of-fact approach in 2020. The archer of Sagittarius has aimed his arrow. Let’s make sure we aim our arrow high, and that we are all clear about our ideals, as the hard work of seeing our vision become a reality requires all our strength and conviction.

​Dig deep and find you have the resources within to make the internal, and external, changes that are required.  ​

December 2019

December begins a period of great change in our lives, and for the next decade, as we draw the curtains on a year that had a gloomy outlook. 

On Dec 26, we experience the first of 3 solar eclipses that occur between now and Dec 2020; a period that promises many reforms. As systems continue to feel the pressure to change, some of the hidden dynamics make themselves known; sometimes perplexing; sometimes enlightening, but always waking us from our sleep. ​

We can either ignore these impulses or take action. Both impulses will be evident from the beginning of 2020.
