Pluto, Saturn & Jupiter in CapricornThe emphasis begins to shift from Sagittarius to Capricorn in early 2020, with Saturn’s ingress into sidereal Capricorn by the end of January; Pluto by the end of February; and Jupiter by the end of March.
Jupiter in Capricorn & The Story of GajendraOn Mar 30, 2020 Jupiter will enter sidereal Capricorn for the first of three occasions in 2020 and 2021. Jupiter’s transit through its sign of debilitation occurs during a conjunction with Pluto (Mar – Nov 2020) and Saturn (Dec 2020).
Although Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn, because Saturn is also transiting Capricorn it cancels out Jupiter's debilitation, and therefore, some of its weakness, so that we end up experiencing both its weakness and strength. |
SUSTAINABLE CHANGE: SATURN IN CAPRICORNSaturn is the planet of time. It reflects a stoic view of life, an acceptance of our current place on the wheel of time, of our fate. When strong, as it is in Capricorn, we are more likely to deal with things that we may have (note: probably) previously put off in favour of thinking about our many options (see Sagittarius). Capricorn has a 'get on with it' kind of approach.
The Astrology of a virusWhat I had seen for 2020 was an attack. I just never thought it would be a virus!
On December 26, 2019 we experienced an annular solar eclipse at 9 degrees of sidereal Sagittarius. All the planets except for Venus and Mars were placed in the sign, with Venus on one side in Capricorn and Mars on the other side in Scorpio. |
July 2020 Forecast
Jupiter and Pluto return to the sign of religion, laws and ethics, learning and truth; travel and trade; the sign Sagittarius. These areas of life are up for another deep excavation. Jupiter's return to Sagittarius is a stronger position for growth for the coming months, but growth of what is the question. Another question is whether any economic growth is founded in any reality, as Sagittarius can sometimes go a little over the top. Jupiter will return to Capricorn by November for a winter-long reality check, so there's plenty of time to burst this particular bubble, I guess. Jupiter won't make it out of Capricorn until April 2021. In the meantime, its return to Sagittarius offers some sense of hope.
There is a full Moon and partial lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on July 5, as the Moon joins Jupiter and Pluto in the sign. Although a special full Moon in the Hindu calendar for honouring our teachers, called Guru Purnima, it is also a partial lunar eclipse, one which brings with it more revelations about those who are meant to be guiding us. This continues to highlight the fact (Gemini) that no one knows (Sagittarius) the truth, and we must figure it out for ourselves. While there may be little clarity in the world around us, there is a deeper sense of what is true if we are open to the insights. We can hope to see something revealed about the virus as Jupiter and Pluto return to the sign where it all began.
Historically, Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions have given us deeper insights into things that are hidden, either deep within us or in deep space, fueling space explorations and inner explorations and advances in medicine. Let's hope this is also the case for this particularly long Jupiter-Pluto conjunction, which continues until November.
Mercury stations direct in Gemini on July 12, and there is a sense of anticipation hanging in the air all month, a particularly mentally stimulating period, as things begin to move forward in more practical matters. The Sun moves into Cancer on July 16 and there is a new Moon in Cancer on July 20, reflecting the need to connect with family and a holiday from recent developments.
