December 2020: Jupiter-Saturn conjoin in Aquarius - global surveillance will hamper personal freedom through mass movement control
Forget those sweet words and dreamy thoughts now it’s time to defend our views and follow through with our plans in a “no holds barred” manner. Mercury in Aries just loves to talk and discuss, usually being over-concerned with himself and his views and easily getting combative and argumentative so don’t let temper and sarcasm interfere with common sense and politeness! Mercury will make the following aspects during its stay in Aries: 12th April: sextile Saturn – rational and logical thinking will characterise the day together with concentration and focus 19th April: [...]
time to open our hearts…… The Full Moon will occur at 18°43’ Libra (antiscion 11°17’ Pisces), a Cardinal, Air sign ruled by Venus. Full Moons are when matters climax, they are “now or never” moments regarding any projects we have initiated or intentions set at the preceding New Moon fourteen days ago. This Full Moon chart is well balanced as far as Modality is concerned with 3 planets in the Fixed signs, 4 in the Cardinal and 3 in the Mutable. Not so, as far as the Elements are concerned, with only one planet, the Sun, in the Fire signs (3 in Earth, 4 in Air and 2 in [...]
transformative times... Premise: The art of astrology is a curious mix of mathematics and the antique symbols which represent the planets and the signs. You have to master both of these subjects in order to interpret any astrological chart. The mathematical part belongs of course to the sciences, whilst the interpretation of the symbols relies upon the sensitivity, intuition and experience of the reader. Interpreting past events, be these regarding the life of a person or a worldly event, is not particularly difficult since one already knows the fact/event and just needs to look for the [...]
The first of three conjunctions between these planets in Capricorn, the others taking place on 30th June (24°06’ R) and 12th November (22°51’) this year. This one occurs at 24°53’ Capricorn with both planets being direct (antiscion 5°07’ Sagittarius) still within orb of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction which took place in mid-January this year. Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions occur approximately every 12.5-13 years, the last one was a one-time hit in the sign of Virgo in December 2007, it usually brings with it a great desire for power or knowledge in some form associated with the [...]
From Earth to Air, from sensual to frivolous…it’s party time! This will be a super-long stay in the sign of Gemini since Venus will turn retrograde on 12th May until 24th June and the planet will also be out-of-bounds (OOB) reaching a far-out North declination of 27°49’ from 2nd April until 4th of May. Let’s expect some really out-of-the-box manifestations of Venus in Gemini traits over the next weeks. Venus in Gemini is known for being flirty and also for its refined social skills although it dislikes commitment both sentimentally and financially. Venus in Gemini enjoys a lot [...]
...unusual, eccentric, crazy and revolutionary Having left the sign of its exaltation to find itself peregrine, in Aquarius we could find Mars fighting for the masses or fighting to impress since he has a strong sense of individualism and eccentricity as he pursues his goals. To the point that he prefers to see how much he differs from the norm rather than trying to understand how much he has in common with his peers. In this sign Mars can be really independent, sometimes unpredictable and often uncompromising as he tries to force his views and opinions on others or tries to convince [...]
Could be very insidious... The New Moon (the first of the astrological year) will occur at 4°12’ Aries (antiscion 25°48’ Virgo). The last of a series of six New Moons at 4° of their respective signs it finds itself on a very important degree since it is square to the Solar Eclipse of December 2019 at 4° Capricorn and thus activates the eclipse. In December we were first hearing about the Coronavirus in distant, or so it seemed, China. This is a me, me, me, action-oriented New Moon squaring the sign of Capricorn which is loaded with “heavy” planets equally action-oriented [...]
on the bright side it could be manifest as new social tolerance, perhaps.... Starting March 22nd Saturn makes its first, brief ingress into the sign of Aquarius where it will remain until 2nd July before retrograding into Capricorn until the 20th December, when the important “grand” conjunction will occur at 0° Aquarius and where the planet will remain for approximately two and a half years. Saturn spent the last two and a half years in Capricorn where it was perfectly at ease (cold, dry planet in a cold, dry Earth sign) and where it made the (in)famous conjunction with Pluto in [...]
then, now and..... Charts used but not shown: Italian Republic 10th June 1946, 18.10, Rome, Italy Restrictive procedure: 10th March 2020, 08.30, Rome, Italy Firstly, lets consider the natal chart for the Republic of Italy, and in particular the secondary progressions at 10th March 2020, when the new restrictive order became law after its publication in the “Gazzetta Ufficiale” at 8.30 on 10th March 2020 in Rome. The SP Sun is at 29° Leo, conjunct the fixed Royal star Regulus, which can confer fortune and fame but its benefits do not always last. The 29° itself is a critical [...]
