Lunar eclipse on the Fourth of July

     The Moon rules, "the Public," that emotional mass of humanity who respond to the energies of the world. Like water, like oceans, like tides, the collective response we calculate as humanity is not of the mind, but of the feelings.  Notice how crowds are not moved by talks of taxes or infrastructure, which are killing the industrial world, but are swept away by talks of sex, birth, women's bodies and murder. Those topics get immediate reactions, because emotions are swifter than thoughts.
      Consulting the chart for the United States under this Lunar Eclipse, which will be visible in North America, the public is in danger. In danger from truth, of all things.  The truth of our infrastructure, of our foundations, of our governments, and of our corporeal selves.  Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter and the shadowed Moon, are all together at opposition to our USA solar position. We are being faced with our history.

{Pluto} the revolution from Europe to begin a new world order. 1770-1780s In Capricorn
{Saturn} the take over of everything, grabbing land without treaty or exchange, the exploitation of                      resources for the highest competitor.  every 29 years in Capricorn
{Jupiter}our un-contained opportunism  which never stopped taking and expanding. 12 year cycle
{the Moon} who we are today, exploiters, opportunists and increasingly dead and diseased. monthly 

         June has indeed been the turning point of the year. Communication that has been buried for centuries is now on the table, and voices that were never heard are now at the forefront.  So far, it is chaotic, but it is too concentrated to be dismissed. The best part of all, is that we are hearing, for the first time, horrific history that is our own. Listening is a new revolution.  Keep speaking, keep filming, the news is now in all of our hands. Every story of abuse and exploitation can be not just said, but seen and heard!  We have cameras and recorders in every hand.

      One of the easiest to exploit characteristics of the people of the USA is our eagerness for communication, conversation and news. We are as fickle as the news, but we can be seduced immediately by the something new to talk about.  That overwhelming love of information will be the saving mechanism for the review of our history that is happening.  We could lead the Age of Aquarius reasoning if we give back to our founding nations the worth due them. 
     To Native Americans, a fair price for all the land and water and air and minerals we have stolen.  To African Americans, 400 years of wages and a return of property stolen. For African Women, full restitution for the damage caused by all the white children begat upon your unwilling bodies. The glorious rapists of the south, can have all their dicks knocked off, as their statues fall. How do we find these resources to pay for the damage?  The 1%. Divide it up.  The President, as a good example, can go first, along with his family, tally up the golf trips, the funds given to his businesses, and put all of that in the hands of American Citizens. We also liberate the concentration camps of the border, Trump, Inc can pay for resettling those families. Next, Bastille Day! open the prisons, they are slave camps and can be transformed into wind farms and orchards.

     What do you take away personally from this full moon?  The answer is glaring...
What are you really worth? And behave accordingly.
If we all get sick, whats the worth of your stuff? The planets in Capricorn are truly the signature of ultimate discipline and reality. In ordinary parlance, Capricorn gives us the wisdom and frugality of winter.... but with the whole sky meeting in that sign this year, the winter is melting the arctic.

At the Turning of the Tide, sat the New Blood Moon

   
      Splits the sky! Where have we heard that phrase....? Usually with weather, well this time with solar system dynamics. 
      Spirit of the twins... the equals, the competitors, the neighbors, the tribe has just had a violent shaking. And now feel the layers of lies of centuries brought to the surface. All is visible. And all is fragmented.  What two directions split our universe? Right and Wrong? You vs Me? Which two?              Suppose they gave a War.... and nobody came? An old slogan from fifty years ago or more.....Well, someone tried, and nobody bought it. Instead, a new paradigm for Gemini rose up and took over the headlines. The old sad TV show, stale, scripted, censored, and corrupt has rolled over to  Tik Tok? Snap? or liker.com? The wheels of communication are still in spin, and the turning is going to  a young, fast, unified group. 
      As Mercury finishes its travel this month, families are feeling the upheaval and changing hierarchies. Again, the New and Old stay at opposition  in June and July. Cancer, ruler of the newborn, opposes Capricorn, ruler of the old. The Turning point will seem subtle, personal, and even emotional, but it is carried on a much bigger tide that is affecting everyone.  Our personal losses are now the great human loss being carried out beyond our control.  Suspicions abound, and money, as always is the real mover of politics.  No morality is more important than economics, says the history of the world....
       Everyone is choosing, backing into corners where... uh oh, bright lights are being cast from still greater sources. Saturn in Aquarius, Neptune in Pisces, big lights, with universal batteries, and archetypal principles. Everything is revealed. Mercury and Venus and the Moon are little forces in our Solar System, their cycles are seasonal. Their super power is bringing the big news to the everyday eyes and ears and noses of the living.
       Mercury started it, on Wednesday, June 17 as it slowly emerged from stationary, still motion.
 Oh yes, fast little guy can slow way down in the week before the actual, measurable backward, retrograde direction. So, we began to feel the suck, the ebb tide, the under-tow as it pulled from Cancer, 13 degrees.  Now, Venus bewilders us all, with her slide into stationary direct motion, (June 24-25th) She is in Gemini, still smirking, still teasing. Oh, and the New Moon in its own sign, Cancer, with an eclipse and an opposition to the sun and moon from no less than Jupiter, Pluto.... and almost Saturn. Was a week of more surprises and tricks, and coming from young, smart communicators, upending a system guarded by old men who are mostly blind, deaf, and the other thing... 
        2020 is showing us how low we can go in using humanity as fodder for profit. The very wealthy are not bothered by overpopulation, they  are harvesting from it. Just like every resource, those who can profit from it, will.  Can this Age of Aquarius Moment, where we all feel the world as one, be held alive for the future?  Can we live in a fairer world?
       The signature for this year is bankruptcy. Of the USA, of our collective funds, and of the efforts each of us have made to carve a world for ourselves. As our sense of collective protection breaks down, and chooses property over humanity, our gains will mock us.  Gold, highly recommended by the stock market jocks, is not food nor drink. Gold is merely a belief system, like money. What will become real is what we can farm, eat, weave or ride,

and trade with our fellow humans.

The passion of the Multitudes for George Floyd

Saturday, May 30, 2020
         
We are witnessing the Saturn Return of the LA Riots for Rodney King. Saturn in Aquarius.

          The demonstrations to protest a murder by authorities of an innocent citizen are rooted in the very identity attributed to our nation. That all men are created equal and have a right to life! and not be murdered. Yet they were shifted out of original intent, shoved into violence by those who weren't protesting George Floyd's death, but are exploiting it for harm. Still, the passion is deepening, and the entire story is not nearly finished.
         The whole world witnessed this murder, and now the whole world is replying...
        March, 1991 saw the LA riots over the beating of Rodney King, twenty nine years ago. March 2020 is the Saturn Return of that event, Saturn having entered Aquarius in the earliest degree. The parallel is more than police brutality and race, it is the universal response that reached so many people! The effect of Rodney King has become a foundation point in modern injustice. Rodney King was one brutality stacked upon thousands, but then, as now, it was SEEN. We have the light of the sign Aquarius, which is of all the signs, the human one, lit again. This time, a new media found the crime, and because the new media is in the hands of everyone,  EVERYONE can experience this murder.
And we are.
          The social time of the year during Gemini, late spring, with its mild weather and blooming nature welcomes the weddings, the family groups, as Gemini is the ruler of sisters, brothers, cousins, tribes, clubs, neighbors, networks, community and communication.  But this year, nothing but distortion is occurring in our natural spring urge to meet and connect.  The retrogrades of Venus and Mercury have and will continue to throw reversals, untruths, broken connectors, and lies of a universal sort. The planets are in riot in this month, and have angles so perfect that launching a rocket and tearing down the white house are equally favored. This is a sign of change, restlessness, news, variety, impatience, and constant stimuli. Adding retrogrades of values, and soon, communication, should blow the lid on many, many US institutions of commerce and communication and education.
        Did we mention that Gemini rules the lungs? the sacred moment of first breath, when the soul enters the body matches the exit of the soul.. at last breath. The soul is on fire in the symptoms of Covid-19. Reading the first hand accounts of how it feels to live it and live through it, will make us cherish our every breath. Tear gas, pepper spray, take our breath. Covid-19 scorches our ability to breathe.
     Our murdered George Floyd said, I cant breathe.  It is prophecy.

         Gemini has a great influence on the USA, being the rising sign of our natal chart, cast from the signing of the Declaration of Independence at 2.14 am, a carefully chosen moment. In this chart resides immense wealth, resources, and the ability to protect and grow that wealth: Jupiter, Venus and Mercury in Cancer are in the second house.  Mars and Uranus in the first house are in Gemini, proving our quickness, danger, and inability to be controlled. Right now, the whole sky is in Gemini, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, for an extra long presence as her retrograde will show 3 passes through Gemini. The present retrograde phase reverses and turns inside out the principles of Venus. Those are values: as in, money, love, beauty, freedom, safety and whatever we cherish. The third phase will be in July, when we reap the harvest of the emotional out-pouring that is tearing our national lies into shreds. This is a chance to see the opposite point of view, the other side of the story.  Yes, we are clashing, but yes, we are hearing, and because of the support of Saturn's position in Aquarius, all of humanity is also aware.

Venus, Star of the Show

       Venus  is the brilliant bright star after sundown in the West, and  has been at her brightest. As May proceeds, Venus sinks lower each night until she is lost in the Sun's glare. On May 13 Venus will be stationary retrograde at 21 degrees of Gemini and 50 minutes. The first reminder from Venus is to watch your money, it is changing, flickering, and is in mild chaos.  All our Values are Venus determined. Are you one who values freedom? or safety? Money? or Beauty? Art? or Oil?  They all demand a price, and many of these valuables keep their price when others fail.
      June marks a huge reckoning with the United States and coincidentally, its leader, whose importance is his solar degree at 22 Gemini.  The United States has the planet Mars at 21 Gemini.  We have gone to war with two of our Gemini presidents, JFK, and Bush I. Will we go to war again with a president born in Gemini, significantly interacting with Mars? Is Venus a war planet? Not to the Greeks, who invented our version of western astrology that we use today, but Venus was the War planet of the Aztecs. Most visible and brightest object in the sky, after the sun and moon, Venus' complicated cycles were utilized by ancient observers all over the world.
     Gemini rules trade, commerce, communication, community, tribes, relatives, siblings, cousins, and the networks of work and home.  Our cyber world is vulnerable during this Venus cycle. Check your connectors your chargers,  and everything that keeps your electronics clean and working. Venus will retrograde from May 13 to June 25. Chains of supply could face delays, accidents, odd breakdowns, added to the already vast networks of supply and demand dealing with the interruptions of the pandemic. This Venus cycle will slow us down yet again, yes, again. This is excellent for contemplation, meditation, living slowly and with deep focus.  Many relationships are saved and/or damaged under these cycles of Venus. The reverse motion is a different point of view of familiar and close objects.  Insights not possible at normal Venus reveal themselves now. We will be forced to look closely at what we value, and how we would change, if faced with change.
      The USA has Gemini rising. Our identity has forever been based on our quickness, our mobility, our youthful, optimistic, restless curiosity and love of communication.  We are seeing ourselves now from outside in, and inside out. What are we really saying, hearing? If communication breaks, who will you listen to, and who will have the truth or even its imitations?  Gemini is dualistic, multiple, and unconcerned with process and order. An already damaged nation will be assessing a new series of damages and revelations for the next two months.

Sun Uranus Conjunction, April 26th, 2020

    One time, each year, the Sun passes in front of our view of Uranus. Yesterday and today marked that illuminating event. We can expect some news, news of change, of truth illuminated.  Maybe we will see an invention of startling impact be launched right now.  Notice the information that comes to you today. It has a freshness, an awakening, and it is startling.  Today is a day that could change your year.  Thunder and lightning are all around as I write, and Uranus rules lightning, and the sign it is in, with the Sun, rules that echo of lightning on the land... Thunder... Taurus.
    The discovery of the Planet Uranus took us beyond the seeing of the human eye. We had to invent telescopes to see this planet, and it was found in the 1770's. Also, in that decade were made the first discoveries using electricity. And most famously, in that decade were the political revolutions of France and the Colonies that became the United States.
    It is a planet, then, of reversals... finding energies beyond our reckoning, seeing governments and systems overturned with violence and  permanent consequences. It is a planet of efficiency, as the energy of rolling is easier than rotating. It rules the place beyond visible structure, Saturn, and it crashes through barriers, rockets through space, and changes time.
    It is a planet that doesn't rotate on its axis, it rolls. Uranus is inverted 90 degrees to the elliptical plane, which is the flat horizon that holds the Sun at its center and all the planets of our solar system revolving around it.  Uranus rings are vertical, not horizontal. It is the harbinger of difference, of reversals, and yes, of revolutions!
    The corruption at the base of our changes today, will rot before it has time to fully destroy the mainsprings of life. It will not kill all the people but it will kill enough to make a gigantic difference.
Uranus entered the sign of money and value in May of 2018, two years ago. It disturbed the status quo, and it really changed MONEY.  Uranus spends seven years in each sign of the Zodiac. In Taurus, which rules the values of earth, the values of the time, and the value at the base of our barter systems, this planet will tear up the ground it shines on.
    The last time Uranus was in Taurus was 1935-1942. The New Deal. The war for oil. Then was when oil became the base of the barter system.We fought Germany and Japan for the energy to build and destroy.  Those seven years of destruction and  new technology are being revisited, and lo, .... oil has become cheap, valueless.  The Koch brothers, oil running through their veins, have no chance to save their investments in oil.
     Planets, evolution, the Ages of the Zodiac roll on, in spite of a marketplace.  The planets, in fact, will mirror the changes in the marketplace.  Take your stocks out of oil.  The new energies are already here, already growing, inevitable, like it or not.  The new age is water and air, electricity and wind.  Put your sights on the future, it will be lighter and brighter.

Saturn in Aquarius, for a brief while (March 23, 2020 until July 1, 2020)

Saturn the timekeeper
   Every thirty years Saturn makes one cycle around the sun, spending two and a half years in each sign of the Zodiac. 2020 gives a double Saturn Message, as the planet leaves its own sign Capricorn and slips into Aquarius for the next few months
   We can measure historic events and trends watching Saturn through the signs. It is always the underlying issue of everything else, whether personal or universal. Money and politics respond deeply to the Saturn Cycle, as our current example shows extraordinary wealth, coalescing on itself. The Capricorn trait of hoarding for winter is  showing up as a colossal effort to keep wealth intact and separate the mass of money from humanity at large.
     Saturn indicates the moral of our immediate time. In Capricorn, where it has been since the Winter Solstice of 2017,  it means conserving resources, measuring resources, and rebuilding from the depths and core of what is vital to survival.  This includes physical reality, the earth, and its bounty, as well as abstract reality, the rules of law. Law is supreme in Capricorn, and the ultimate law is life.
  Saturn in Capricorn is an ultimate reality encounter. We know the lack, the void and the threat.  Our mission, is to  make foundations and infrastructure as true as possible and to provide for the future. Our time is running out to repair, and maintain. The loss of life this year is a culling and pruning, which Saturn is famous for. It is called the Lord of Karma, and its visage is often the Grim Reaper.

   Saturn in Aquarius is a new story altogether. Aquarius rules all of humanity, the global relationships that humans share. It represents the greater social systems, or, How are we all going to get along together? Now, and forever.  The fact that an epidemic has brought us all to each other's attention is showing how insistent this planet can be.  We could have come together over other Aquarius concerns, like the health of our planet and its ability to support all of the persons depending on this earth, and many have been trying to accomplish just that.  The World Mind is also indicated by Aquarius, that is, the frequencies, of all sentient beings, and their collective intelligence.

   Is the planet ready to toss off the human race, to save itself? The shouts and warnings are behind us, the apex of the attack and reaction is upon us. 

   The United States has the Moon in Aquarius, high in the top of our national chart.  This is our image to the world, Aquarian, the knower of things, the technology innovator, the lifted lamp beckoning all of the teeming, huddled masses to come here. We are the new age, the one that will hold our history for the next two thousand years.  Saturn is giving us a glimpse, lasting only till July, of what we could to to cooperate, enhance our collective world, and reorganize, according to the Human story, the life on earth. 

   But in July, until mid December, Saturn will retrograde back into Capricorn, sign of the boss, the dictator, the authority, the law. We are in a crisis of who is the law, how strong is the law, can the law be ignored?  Well, nature's law is the ultimate, and she will have the final word.  Winter Solstice of 2020 will see the final conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. This will show us how far the devastation reached. As Saturn and Jupiter both pass into Aquarius in January, world intelligence  will have an opportunity to use resources with an eye to the future. Or will we  decide all together to trash the world to the last person, to squander all we have.

   The planets are neutral, but they are eternal. What lessons civilization has learned are due, because of cycles, to forever return.  A flea on a rat on a ship killed a lot of people just a few centuries ago, Now, a virus on a bat is taking it smaller... but to oh, so many more people.

The Great Year, 2020, Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn and Pluto, all year long.

Its 2020, and where have we been since 2016???

Horrified, depressed. Realizing that the Age of Aquarius has its trials, its wars, its terrors and its own brand of wrongness. The social, humanitarian, communicative, electrical age is moving grandly into the resistance to the obvious, and we see society fighting to the last drop, as social norms struggle to stay in the liquid, watery Age of Pisces. [ 44 BC -1918 AD.]
The Age of Pisces is over, but as the ruler of ideals and deceptions, its flickering..
 and sucking like an ebb tide. This year hammers home the inevitable and massive rebuilding of society, humanity, and communication.  Dec 21, 2020, conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.

WHY ARE WE IN SUCH A MESS?
The big picture is that we are changing into the Age of Aquarius..

The year 2000 was collectively used as the marker for the Age of Aquarius to begin. The Ages measure the Great Year of 26,240  revolutions around the sun: the time it takes for the spring equinox to retrograde through the entire Zodiac, staying in each sign relatively 2000+ years. The Greek and Roman period was the Age of Aries, putting humans above all, championing war, conquest and the supreme authority of Man. Iron conquered bronze, 1900 BC to birth of Christ.
The rise of the great religions;  the westward expansion of immigration; the use, and end, of slavery, all marked the biggest influences of the Age of Pisces. It has lasted for 2000 years- and in its final moments-is using oil and chemistry to be the source of importance for everyone.

Since the discovery of electricity, the rise of democracies, and the revolutions of France and the USA colonies, we have lived the struggles of the dawning of a new age, a new consciousness, a new point of view. Now, we live in an age of science, Aquarius is an air sign. The air element is associated with the mind, both the world mind, the human mind, and the canopy of air that surrounds us equally, and carries our transmissions of thought and intelligence. This is the mind of earth, the communication of the trees, the soil, the rocks, the biosphere, the oceans and light all working in a great unified sphere.

WHY 2020 IS SO FRAUGHT!?

There is not a month in this calendar year that doesn't bring an astrologer-melting amazing planetary grouping of some kind. The big players are the Giants: Saturn and Jupiter; Matched with the violent planets, Mars and Pluto. Neptune and Uranus have insidious roles, Neptune handing out epidemics, fear, and hidden agendas, Uranus messing with security, money and bringing sudden changes.
Joyous, all of it.  I have been seeing and dreading these planets for months, whispering to those who dare to talk to me, some hints....
But I'm tired of hinting, here is what the planets are showing me.  I could be more or less appalled, but if I get the virus, here... I said it.

January  was the beginning of the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction in Capricorn.!!! and Pluto, the Sun, Mars, Mercury and The Moon shared that place.  All the forces we understand were sucked into a potent, concentrated mix, of history, transformation, expansion, violence, communication, love and life. Two very impacting times were most decidedly on the new moons, December 27, 2019, and January 25, 2020. we only have 10 planets, including the sun and moon, seven of them hung together this month. Capricorn rules responsibility and reality.  It is the north, the mountains, the winter, the authority above all, that we die in winter, if we don't take responsibility for our sustenance. the year, 2020, brings up our entire social human fabric, torn and filled with disorganization.  The sense of Karma, as we sow, we reap is unfolding in our lives. As the earth burns, as radioactive waste pours into the oceans, we are getting reaction. Capricorn is the foundation as well as the crown, foundation and investment in real truth are the tasks of this month and year.

February
the conjunction still holds, of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto, but the big news was Mercury's retrograde through Pisces, sign of water flowing to its source, the circulation of each state of water, germs and chemistry. Mercury's retrogrades are not equal or equally harsh, but when other planets are involved, the effects are expanded. This mercury tangled with the Great Planet, Neptune, ruler of Pisces, now sitting in Pisces since 2011. This sign and its planet rule chemistry, the circulatory and regulating systems of the body, especially its natural defences against disease. The viral explosion was also helped by Venus in Pisces, helping us disbelieve that anything could be so bad. Venus is sweet. Then when the sun went in Pisces on the 23rd, the coverup burst. It became personal, through touch, at the New moon on the 24th. Rumors and misinformation are wildly helped by this configuration.

March
the conjunction now is visible in the morning sky.  Mercury ended the retrograde on March 10th. Venus in Taurus conjoined Uranus in the early degrees of Taurus, the sign that rules money and banks, on March 9-11th. Uranus is volatile, and has been in Taurus since 2019. its orbit is 84 years, so the last time Uranus (sudden change, communication, electronics) transited the sign Taurus was 1925. Uranus stays in each sign 7 years. so 1925-1932. years of the stock exchange boom and bust, and now 2019 -2026. Taurus rules actual worth, not fads or whims.  Only things of real worth last through this cycle.  Therefore the talk of ideals, love, freedom, and art are everyone's hope.
Mars spent the month making conjunctions with all the Capricorn planets, Jupiter 18-19th,  Pluto, 23-24th and Saturn, March 31-April 1st. Mars is energy, translates to action, speed, force, momentum and violence. It also rules blood and is the God of War.

April
Mars and Saturn have pulled ahead into Aquarius, where they affect the global reach of humanity.
this month will focus on the cooperation, and relationships that are the greater world. The epidemic is poised to wreck havoc on mass populations. Concentrations of groups are highly targeted.  The sun in Aries with Mercury favors the individual and solo dimension of society, and the power of the individual to be heroic and dominating.  Venus moves into Gemini, where she will stay for months. This will be a time of networking, community, communication through the beneficial, loving Venusian energy, and may bring a solution of a natural kind to a limited number. Not to trust it, though, because on May 14-5th, Venus will retrograde in Gemini, reversing the progress made in late April.  be very careful of mistrust fueled by miscommunication, that will erode family groups, neighbors, siblings, and tribal networks. Danger to the grid, and our mass communication systems. Also could be rewarding innovations out of the crush.

May 
"War's brewin." a new kind of war. United States has the planet Mars at 22 Gemini. When this degree is radically focused, we have war in this country. 9-11 was Saturn on this degree, with Mars opposite, retrograde. Now is a different mechanism. Venus will be insidious, benign, hinting no harm, and yet will deliver an invasion of a sweet seeming kind. Her retrograde starts May 15. Jupiter retrogrades next to Pluto on the following day, and money will really start to reinvent itself.  No word of that though, until Venus is direct, after June 11th. Saturn also retrogrades, May 11th., holding the background story of the year, Aquarius, take care of the people, and Capricorn, save the gold. The slow backward sweep of Saturn will now gather in the population of the world, and cull until its
finish in Capricorn, Oct 1st. The results of the disaster will begin to be counted. The official version, that is. The true numbers will surface in January of 2021.
Retrogrades of outer planets are not felt as personally as we feel inner planets, Mercury, our minds and our schedules, Venus, our worth and our attractions, and Mars our energy and will to live. Look to September for Mars.


June
The cheerful time of year, when the sun in lively Gemini goes over the USA Ascendant in Gemini. Our natural immaturity, joy, optimism, and endless need for communication, rallies us. But its a split reaction. Half are optimistic the other half, dead or grieving. Mars will be in Pisces, which can be more lies, deceit and cover ups, as well as an acceleration in infection.  It could also be a break through in the cure, but wont be a public event.  Mercury will begin its summer retrograde in Cancer, opposing Jupiter and Pluto, divisions are the enemy and divisions are growing like mad.

July
Mars moves into Aries, its own sign, and new leadership becomes evident. Mercury, still retrograde in the sign of home and family, disturbs home life. Many upheavals in basic domain, until the 11th. Isolation is still in the mix, but it keeps the divisions both active and secret. The Sun and Jupiter/ Saturn will be at opposition all month. Will be a brilliant sight in the night sky, especially as the full moon conjoins Jupiter on the 19th and Saturn on the 22. Invisible Pluto, (a real planet, y,all) holds the solar opposition as well. This is our maximum danger point as far as self betrayal goes, choosing the wrong path, and severing close bonds. Some of it is a trick, but some of it has been in the making twenty years or more. USA very vulnerable to invasion, and usurpation.

August
Mars sits at right angles to Jupiter Saturn, as they oppose the sun, so the fight is hot. Its status quo, in a way, because this month has no New positions. In fact, its a reckoning time with the events of January, as Saturn retrogrades back into Capricorn, and the blame falls back on its originators.  This is about money and resources.  They have changed in 20 years, since the last conjunction and more is known and oil is finished. This month sees an escalation or perpetuation of the struggle, fight, battle for the solution to our crisis of humanity.  Is money a more basic value than freedom? Is humanity a commodity to be harnessed, or a source for all creation? The severity of the planets of 2020 are nothing but a reflection of how much revision needs to be done, for our species to preserve life and order.

September
This month is always for the reestablishment of system and routine, so its the marker for the year of whether or not our pandemic is solved and whether or not, war is involved.  Was this, in fact, germ warfare?  Mars, in Aries, will retrograde in a diabolical right angle to Jupiter: translate:war and money are at war! It,s all about the money, and what will hold up our currency as oil loses to air and sun and water.  The world's resources are at stake, and the solutions are fighting between selfishness and universality, the symbols of the Age of Aquarius, the group vs the individual.  As if we haven't been seeing this for decades.  But in 2020, it's time to make it right, or crash it all.  Our resources include our lives, our freedom, our planet and our air. Will we go back to school, or not?

October
The agreeable,  balancing sign of Libra watches the Sun oppose Mars as both of them Square  Jupiter and Saturn, with Mars, brilliant orange in the southern sky, still retrograde in its own sign, Aries. The last Mercury retrograde of the year starts in Scorpio, sign of collective trust and money, on October 13th, in a nice trine with Neptune.  All will stay covered up, hidden for another few weeks. The infection could mutate, find another level of invasion, or make a last lunge, before it starts receding.
Venus in Virgo will stir up the population in favor of service work, as we review our depleted health system. This could go in several ways, not favorable to insurance companies.  The gamble rationale is over, climate change will decimate the old insure you-if-you-dare paradigm, humanity will find out how valuable it is in the game.

November
Will there still be an election? Mercury has been retrograde in many presidential elections, so that's not enough to cancel, but it helps create chaos!  This time it will be stationary (not progressing or retreating) exactly on election day. What the hell. it means either we go nowhere, or its just not even an event.  Mars comes out of retrograde, mid month, still locked in the square to Jupiter Saturn, who have not left Pluto's proximity all year. If there are recounts, disparities, they will be declared by November 21-24, as the Sun moves into Sagittarius.

December
Nothing is really settled. The empty coffers, the missing family members, the friends the jobs the industries, will they come back? Not possible. Not possible to regain the trust in Money that we shared so willingly.  Venus and Uranus oppose in the two signs of Money, Taurus (real) Scorpio (whats shared) and so the battle for ownership is still on.  Gold? Land? Oil? War? Food? Medicine?
all are being considered for what to build on.  Somewhere in there, must be humanity, the ultimate resource for ourselves.  The GREAT CONJUNCTION is exact on the Winter Solstice, dec 21st Jupiter and Saturn conjoin at the first degree of Aquarius.  Mars and the Moon will be at 22 degrees Aries at the same time, meaning all of us will feel this! some heat, we predict.

What a year.  The Old Farmers Almanac, so useful for seeing planets, calls this "the year of our lives"for planet watching.  I call it the year of our lives, for world watching.  The moral is conserve, love, and remember; these are cycles, they are inevitable, we are making big choices.

THE MIGHTIEST CONJUNCTION OF ALL, JUPITER AND SATURN. EVERY 20 YEARS.

The most recent conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn was in equalizing, balancing, Libra, in the year 2000. Every twenty years these two giant planets reach the same point in the zodiac, coinciding their two orbits, of Jupiter, 11.6 years, and Saturn, 29.4 years. Ten years forward, they will sit opposite each other. Because of the speed of these two, it will take the entire year of 2020 for the conjunction to reach its final touch.  Winter solstice of 2020, December 21.

so what does it mean?
 Well, it means what it looks like, giants are colliding.
These are always socially impacting years, a series of great events, and a change of culture and society that is all encompassing. The effect is so huge, and so enormous, that it takes a look back to understand it. Did we have cell phones twenty years ago? Our relationships have changed because of the events of 2000. Look at the relationship of the press to politics. According to the Press, Gore won the election of 2000. Freedom of the press was a fundamental tenant of Democracy. Without knowing whats going on, the populace has no power at all. Where was social media 20 years ago. All of our relationships took major revolutions from 2000. The present conjunction is not about Libra and relationships, it is about Capricorn, the ultimate responsibility for resources. Just like a visit to the principals office, Capricorn calls us to duty, rules, and responsibility.

This year of 2020, carries the hardest task asked of any of us and all of us. That is, to expand and contract at the same time, in the signs Capricorn and Aquarius. Our natural growth, indicated by Jupiter, is restricted in Capricorn, thwarted in blunt, rule bound way. Obstacles abound, and the right direction is to use the Capricorn super power of law. What law? Ultimately Gods law, which is Nature,s law. The resources so natural to us, have to be guarded, repaired, and built to the needs of our times. The excesses, whatever they are, cannot survive no matter how heavily the Jupiterian theatrics are thrown in. Jupiter is fortune, luck, bigness, money, superior position, the king of the planets. It is bound now, in inhibitions and old, old habits. As Jupiter steps up, optimism is all encompassing, but in Capricorn, the opportunities are shrunken, the laws atrophied, the generosity withheld.
Jupiter indicates money. where the money is, where it it going. the rise and fall of real estate prices follow Jupiter cycles closely.

 Last year, in 2019, Jupiter and Money were in the sign Sagittarius, so the money was moving, all over the world. fast and often too fast to trace. Now the money is in Capricorn. tied up. gone. buried. withered. Money  now is best used for foundation building, in the architectural, engineering sense. and in the pure sense. Money is looking for its new true source. That has been oil for at least 80 years. World War One, was our first fight over the liquid source that would become wealth for all. The shift to the new source, air, and sun, was in 2000. but we didn't shift. No, we clung to oil, and gave up our democracy.

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, has been in its natural sign since the winter solstice of 2017. On that day, the Sun, and Saturn shared the same place in the sky, the 0 degree of Capricorn. For thousands of years Astrologers have looked at the Sun's aspects on the Winter Solstice to tell us what kind of year is ahead and what will be the health of the world. The interpretation of 2019's winter solstice group would have to mention that we are bound, that the conserving, deep, gripping hold on life is at a crisis point. As winter measures our resources, so now the earth is measuring. Laws of survival have shifted. We are being taught new actions through old laws. History is mocking our technology.  We are being called into account for waste, and for wasting resources. Our crisis was lack of authority, duty, law and preparedness, the best of Capricorn.
Capricorn, the winter solstice sign, represents the shortest day and the longest night. It is the nadir of our growth season, and the measure of our ability to survive the winter and the dark.
Now, in our thirty year cycle of social interaction, and world survival, we are faced with all of our resources being put to the ultimate test of survival.
