SATURN CONJUNCTS PLUTO: ******** And now it finally comes.
On Sunday January 12th at 11:59 A.M. EST this conjunct that we have been discussing for more than a year finally completes. This is a profound moment in human history and a time when many issues will come to a head. We can easily see how this energy has been building up in the political arena. I mean, we’re in the middle of an impeachment for gods-sake, for only the 3rd time in our history. Because this hits America’s chart profoundly it is having a dynamic effect on our culture and political stage. And while that event is the most overwhelming issue in America, remember that there is a big world out there and other nations are having their problems and challenges as well. This conjunct has much to do with the unrest in many parts of the world including Hong Kong, South America, North Korea, parts of Europe, and, as always, the Middle East with Iran as the flash point.
We will feel the aftermath of this aspect for years to come. It won’t suddenly clear up in a few weeks or months. The events that this harbinger announces will change the direction of the world in many ways that we can’t yet see. But just looking back over the past few years as this applied we can see some of the redirection and the underlying animosity that has been released. I will continue to examine and comment on this conjunct as we approach America’s Pluto Return that completes in 2023. So, understand that while this is a great buildup of stress and tension, and its completion hopefully will go a long way towards releasing some of that pent up energy, the cycle will not complete for at least another 3 years. What takes place over the coming few years will obviously have much to do with what path we choose and how this all plays out. Like any serious moment in our lives, the anticipation if often more difficult that the actual event. Therapists call that “anticipatory anxiety”. So let’s be glad that at least this part of the drama is coming to a close.
The events of 2020, including the election, impeachment and the coming economic downturn are all being fueled by this massive buildup of Capricorn energy. Much has occurred in the shadows and cannot be readily seen. But as this completes we will see much more and a strange sort of clarity will begin. Shifting loyalties and a change of direction will happen.
In our personal lives this may also have a profound effect on you, especially if this sets off your chart. Be careful this week. With the Sun and Mercury also conjunct his point you need to pay attention to what you do and say. It’s very easy to let little things upset us and to overreact to the underlying stress. Some will experience an event or have difficulty in an important relationship. But even if there isn’t an active situation you need to find release from the pressure. Have faith and hope, and always look towards the light and all will be well.
