This Saturn/Pluto conjunction only occurs every 34 years and no one alive has experienced it in Capricorn. The last time these two planets were in Capricorn was in 1518; Henry the VIII was King of England and the Protestant reformation began when Martin Luther pinned his Ninety-five Theses on Wittenberg Castle Church door. The results of this alignment are life-changing and long-lasting. We will feel the energy of this conjunction all year, but may not realize the effects until much later.
We begin the month with a high dose of Capricorn energy with the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all clustered in in this goal-oriented earth sign. Under the discerning and cautious Capricorn energy that opens 2020, we’re prodded to take stock of what we have, where we’re going and how long our current resources will last.
With Jupiter now in Capricorn for the next 12 months the energy is shifting into new territory. Capricorn is a Cardinal (driven) Earth (stable) sign. Capricorn knows it takes work to achieve our goals; there is no shortcut to success. If you want to implement the discoveries that you made about your life during Jupiter’s transit of Sagittarius, this version of Jupiter is the one that will get it done.
There is a lot going on this month both in our mundane and astrological worlds. It’s the end of the year and more importantly the end of a first decade of the 21st century. The next year has so many cosmic alignments that point to big change and a new way of doing things and it seems that December brings the perfect balance of energies to prepare us for what’s to come.
