TIME FRAMES OF PLUTO - SATURN – JUPITER IN
                     CAPRICORN
• 13th of January – Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn at 22 degrees. The Sun was also conjunct,
  highlighting the expression and magnification of this transit. This was pretty much the start of the
  presentation of COVID 19 expressing out
• 23rd of March - Saturn moved into Aquarius and stayed there until the 3rd of July before it retrograded
  back into Capricorn. During that period, we saw the beginning of social restrictions, track and tracing,
  lockdowns, closing of businesses, masks etc. Of course, it has continued, on and off, in all areas of the
  world. Initially there was the sense of let’s do this for others, showing the response to Saturn
  (responsibility) energy in Aquarius, but then it turned into mandatory
• From the 3rd of July, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter were all retrograding together in Capricorn until one by
  one they all stationed and then began moving forward by the 5th of October, again moving toward each
  other into a tighter orb. By the time of the US election, they were back within 5 degrees, highlighting
  again the power of politics, big business, corporations, authority, money, power, truth, change,
  transformation and I dare say – spiritual initiation

MARS IN ARIES SQUARE TO THE PLANETS IN
                       CAPRICORN

• Started 4th of August, went past the three
  planets in Capricorn, retrograded back past
  the three planets, stationed, and then from
  the 15th of November, is on its way back
  towards them now
• This time though Saturn and Jupiter have
  pulled away, just leaving Mars to square
  Pluto (December). Expect power battles
  and conflicts, perhaps to the current
  information suppression, forced lockdowns
  and closing of businesses, leading to groups
  of people looking to stand in their power
  and stand against authority

LOWER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE ENERGY OF
                    2020
• Authority and misuse
• Restriction and control

• Financial issues
• Social distancing
• Tracking and tracing - privacy
• Division into sides
• Isolation and loneliness
• Social pressures
• Exaggeration

HIGHER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE ENERGY OF 2020
• Less pollution from traffic and movement
• Solitude and going within
• Slowing down
• People working from home – more rested
• People rising up against control measures
• A search for truth
• A greater understanding of global forces
  and energies revealing hidden enemies
• Death to old worn out forms
• A great initiation is going on

SPIRITUAL POTENTIALS FROM THIS YEAR

• A clearing of the decks – ushering in a new
  age
• A search for the absolute truth
• The breakdown of the old systems
• Bringing people together
• Power to smaller communities (Aquarius)
• The inward search – The Soul

THE GREAT CONJUNCTION – JUPITER AND SATURN
           TOGETHER IN AQUARIUS

SOME BACK GROUND INFORMATION
• Jupiter joins or conjuncts Saturn every 20 years, usually, though not always on the 20-year
  mark – 1980, 2000, 2020 etc
• Jupiter takes 12 years to go around the zodiac and during that time, Saturn keeps moving, so
  it takes another 8 years to catch up to him
• The last time the great conjunction was in the sign of Aquarius was on Jan 7th, 1405
• This will be the closest either have been to the Earth since 1623
• The last time they were together was at 23 degrees Taurus in 2020, so this cycle of the last 20
  years, anchored in Taurus, is closing out

JUPITER/SATURN RELATIONSHIP
• Jupiter expansive – Saturn restrictive –
  opposites attract or repel?
• Jupiter as the Soul ruler of Aquarius –
  Saturn as the co-ruler with Uranus
• In mythology, Jupiter (Zeus) was born from
  the union of Kronos (Saturn) and the Earth
• These 2 planets are the biggest planets in
  the Solar system. Even with just the mass of
  the planets alone, the coming together of
  them in close proximity creates force. But
  imagine the consciousness aspect of 2 of
  the most influential planets in terms of
  astrology and astronomy coming together

AQUARIUS

The association with the sign of Aquarius
• New age
• Collective groups of people
• The principle of sharing
• Collective thinking
• No ruling authority
• Group focus
• More tribal decisions
• Technology
• On the edge of the circle - the fringe

JUPITER AND SATURN IN AQUARIUS – ESOTERIC AND
             SYMBOLIC POSSIBILITIES
• Some believe that the Star of Bethlehem
  was perhaps a conjunction between these
  2 planets. Besides Venus - Jupiter is the
  brightest planet in the solar system and
  Saturn is also visible to the naked eye
• The three wise men saw the star of
  Bethlehem, which is said to have led them
  to know that the King of Jerusalem had
  been born and so they set off to find Him
• The connection of 3 is very important with
  many things symbolic - triangles, 3
  rulership’s, the Father the Sun and the Holy
  Ghost, the Holy Trinity
• A birth of a new saviour or the return of the
  Christ, in line with the new incoming
  energies coming into the Earth

JUPITER AND SATURN IN AQUARIUS – ESOTERIC AND
             SYMBOLIC POSSIBILITIES
• Their coming together is hard to miss. It is an
  event which we can and will see for a
  sustained period, meaning it will be very
  much in our consciousness
• Both planets represent the social aspects in a
  chart reading. We expect continued social
  change, especially with large groups of people
• The degree that they will be coming together
  is important – 0 degrees – in the first part of
  the constellation of Aquarius. I believe that
  this shows an anchoring in of energies. Like
  Aries is the start of the zodiac – these 2
  planets are coming together at 0 degrees
  Aquarius, a beginning of a new cycle
• The timing of it – on the Summer/Winter
  solstice

LOWER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE GREAT
            CONJUNCTION IN AQUARIUS 2020

• Continued and increased social pressure (Saturn)
  to conform to social thinking
• An increased and expanded drift into more
  socialism, with social out casting if you do not
• Restriction on groups of people – already
  happening but can be increased believe it or not.
  But again, less authority driven and more socially
  driven
• The paying off of Human Karmic debt
• More and more restriction on information
  technology
• More structured universal living

HIGHER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE GREAT
            CONJUNCTION IN AQUARIUS 2020

• More awareness of Humanity and others
• Greater sharing of knowledge and wisdom
• Working with others, especially with technology
• A shift away from authority-based control to
  more community based – especially relevant
  when Pluto moves into Aquarius. We could
  almost say this is a preparatory period to that
• Increased love, increased wisdom – Ray 2 and
  Jupiter – with greater and sustained awareness
  of all of Humanity. This is awareness, not forced
  awareness
• An ushering in of a period of brotherhood, in true
  Aquarian spirit

SIGNIFICANT TRANSITS OR THINGS TO CONSIDER IN
                      2021
Uranus in Taurus conjunct Mars – squares Jupiter in Aquarius conjunct Saturn - 18th of January
onwards
• Inauguration day is the 20th of January normally
• One can only think that this will be some huge change, involving law – Jupiter and Saturn – with
  new incoming change and perhaps revolution (Uranus) backed by the push and drive of Aries
• Can be new laws ushered in, especially around money, security, stability etc
• Expect very sudden changes, sometimes massively exaggerated

• Jupiter and Mars moves on quickly and by the 19th of February – Uranus is only squaring Saturn.
  This continues throughout all of 2021 really, before eventually Saturn moves far enough away in
  March 2022. By August 2022 they are back within 2 degrees before Saturn begins to move away
  towards the end of 2022
• Uranus squaring Saturn is very much about the need to balance rules, restrictions, responsibilities
  with the need to be free, to choose, and this case, the right to have a living (Taurus) while
  maintaining responsibility to the greater community (Aquarius)

URANUS IN TAURUS

Anchoring the new ideas that were initiated with
Uranus in Aries. We are literally seeing those ideas
become manifest before our eyes

Lower level manifestation –
• manipulated planning, the ushering of schemes
  and ideas long thought up
• The use of change and peoples need for change
  in a negative and destructive way

URANUS IN TAURUS – MANIFESTATION OF THE PLAN

Higher level manifestation -
• Anchoring of a Higher plan into Humanity, from
  the Masters, or beings of Light
• Uranus in Aries is where the True Hierarchy, not
  its lower form, planned together for the next
  immediate cycle and begun and lit the iniatory
  spark for Their plans
• Moving into Taurus sees an anchoring of those
  plans. It also showed us the plans of dweller on
  the threshold

JUPITER AND NEPTUNE – A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE

• Jupiter moves into Pisces on the 14th of May –
  2021, after only 6 months in Aquarius.
• He stays there until the 29th of July before
  retrograding backward into Aquarius until the
  29th of December….

• I expect that time frame to be a very open and
  spiritual time. Jupiter is co ruler of Pisces and
  the other ruler – Neptune, is currently travelling
  in Pisces until 2025-2026.

• This should be a great window, as well as at the
  end of this year, to be open to spiritual Truth
  and impression. Both co rulers in Pisces, which
  has not happened since 1856….

MERCURY RETROGRADE PERIODS – INTELLECTUAL
                   ANALYSIS

This year, all in Air signs, which is interesting as we
normally associate the retrograde period with
communication, networks, the grid etc anyway
• 1st one Jan 31 – Feb 22 in Aquarius –
• 2nd one May 30 – June 23 in Gemini
• 3rd one Sept 28 – October 24 in Libra

• Double effect as all in Air signs

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS – POWER TO THE PEOPLE
I think that much of what is happening at the
moment is a lead up into 2025. Before that though,
Pluto first moves into Aquarius in 2023 and then for
many years from 2024. I see a massive power shift,
moving from power given to authority and current
structures (Pluto in Capricorn) to power to the
people. I think the following might happen in the
next few years, regardless of what our governments
or those is authoritarian type of power might do or
say to fight it
• Increased community-based leadership
• A push for less corporate control and much
  more transparency around the dealings of both
  corporations and governments
• People claiming back their power ,
  understanding strength in numbers and an
  increased involvement in decision making
• A move towards more community-based living,
  including markets, and self sufficiency
