In March we saw the burning of Notre Dame, a symbol of Christianity for 1000 years. Saturn and Pluto were very close to a conjunction in the spring and summer of 2019, causing to give us a hint of what is coming in January of 2020. Jupiter entered its own sign of Sagittarius at the end of 2018, and the seemingly boundless enthusiasm and expansiveness of this planetary cycle helped to keep the doors of optimism open, at least for much of 2019. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, and bears a powerful influence when it travels through its own sign every 28 years or so. Capricorn teaches mastery of the material world and has little patience with frivolity or illusions, and we have all had to come to terms with a more practical approach to the way we live our lives. In 20 the necessity to create solid structures became even more important with both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Before we can look ahead, we need to understand the past.Īs many of you already know, Pluto left expansive Sagittarius for restrictive Capricorn in 2008, beginning a domino effect that crashed financial markets around the world and punctured bubbles of false optimism that was keeping financial and economic systems afloat.īetween 20, a stressful aspect between Uranus and Pluto resulted in chaotic social upheaval and the necessity for many of us to make major adjustments in order to survive in a new world that ended up looking little like the old one.
