Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius

 

Right at the time of our December Solstice when the Sun and planet Mercury align with the Galatic Centre before moving into the sign of Capricorn, another great celestial event is taking place.

 

The Great Mutation Cycle of 2020-1 in Aquarius

beginning an Air cycle of approximately 240 years

December 2020 through January 2021 marks a major social, cultural and political adjustment for us all, according to the astrological cycles of the planets Jupiter and Saturn.

 

Astrological cycles can only ever be estimated on an average due to the fact that there are small cosmic variations influencing the length of these cycles and these variations may not be a constant or we may not as yet be aware of some of them, in spite of our long years of observation.

 

Approximately every 20 years the planets Jupiter and Saturn meet in the sky. Each meeting, called a conjunction, is seen against a background of stars which we have called a constellation. In front of this constellation is the imaginary zodiac sign with which we are all familiar, the circle of zodiac signs being the 12 equal divisions of the solar path as viewed from Earth.

 

These 20 year conjunctions of the time keepers Jupiter and Saturn occur in a series of meetings according to one element. An ‘element’ is the designated quality of a zodiac sign. Thus 12 zodiac signs can be divided up into groups of 4 according to the philosophical elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

 

We are at present exiting from a cycle of these conjunctions in the Earth element, and entering into a cycle of the Air element. This is why the news has been so full of this astrological and cosmic phenomena at the present time. 

 

The movement or cycle of Jupiter conjunct Saturn through one element takes approximately 240 years, which includes a transition period where there is overlap between elements.

A complete cycle through 4 elements takes between 860 and 960 years, according to which astrologer you are listening to. 

 

As you can see, the full cycle takes the best part of 1000 years. A lot can happen in 1000 years and much change to our living and development noted by those who observe history.

 

The last Jupiter conjunction with Saturn in an Air sign occurred in 1981, although this was an aberration and the conjunction returned to the Earth element in 2000 correlating with an interesting economic cycle.

 

December 2020 through January 2021 marks the settling of the Jupiter conjunction with Saturn in the Air element for the next 240 years. Thus, we are looking at the sort of social, cultural and political changes not seen for approximately 900-1000 years. 

 

This new conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the Air element is an indication that gradually we will have to lift our game from total materialistic and monetary views of the Earth element, to living a life focused more on human or people centred living. However, the big warning is to not allow this new concept to become complete control and dictation of how we live as a group; how we all live according to one set of rules. We can see such circumstances creeping in now in accord with the awakening of the Aquarian Age, as monitoring and observation of personal activity increases, and individual rights and expression is eroded for the ‘good of the all’.
