How the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction will effect your sign for the next 20 years?
The Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter that occurs every 20 years is a marker for political and economic development. The ancients looked to the Jupiter Saturn conjunction as the omen of new leadership. It has also been speculated that it is the infamous ‘Star of Bethlehem’.
On the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2020 this alignment occurs at 00° Aquarius and their proximity to each other by zodiacal longitude AND latitude (declination) are closer than they have been in nearly 400 years.
To add to the potency of this connection, the past 200 years Jupiter and Saturn have been consecutively meeting in earth signs. This upcoming Great Conjunction heralds a new series where they align in air signs. If the past 200 years was the Industrial Revolution and the destruction of the Earth and her resources, this new age will innovate our ways of relating. We are now at a true threshold to a new era. Air connects us through concept, mental frameworks and technology. If tech wasn’t weird already, it’s about to get WEIRDER. It’s already so easy to go cross-eyed while falling into an existential spiral in 2020.
The role of Aquarius as the questioner of the sky is to stir up all facets of what is culturally relevant- The time is ripe to reframe culture itself and we will see this reflected in all industries. The ways we socially agree upon value, education, equity and exchange are set to change - and WE, the people (aquarius), have a social duty in all of this.
Jupiter is the force of expanse and Saturn is the force of contraction. As universal principles, growth and materialization shape our external reality aka society - Together, Jupiter and Saturn are the cosmic accordion of our world - Their movements indicate economic trends, the justice system (our laws and their enforcement) and especially the social values that are to be highlighted.
As Jupiter and Saturn are opposing, yet necessary functions of our societal values, their conjunction indicates both beginnings and endings. In our personal lives, it will not be surprising to see endings of long held attitudes to make room for implementing more inspiring/innovative ideals. This seems to be a more positive shift from the dreary and solemn collective experience of 2020. It feels more like ‘hope, with an edge’. Or a feeling of aspiration that has a tangible gravity. Even if we may not understand what this exactly means for us just quite yet - A gestation is occurring as we ponder in isolation.
The most tangible way of utilizing astrology is study of cycles. To understand the Jupiter Saturn conjunction, going back to the last cycle can give us some background to what we can expect.
Jupiter Saturn conjunction in May 2000 - 22° Taurus
A seed for economic growth occurred in the the comfy sign of material security and what has been very notable within these last 20 years? The internet has created a highly individualized consumer culture where a window into ‘the good life’ is not only easily accessible, living an very aesthetic and customized lifestyle is ‘available’ to the masses because of social media. Think about the rise of Whole Foods and how commercial grocery brands have shifted toward ‘artisan’ style foods. The selection of ‘boutique’ grocery items has become a norm. Off the top of my mind things like the rise of Paypal (1998), Etsy (2005), Wholefoods (bought by Amazon in 2017) have created a fast-paced instant-gratification culture of specialty shopping that we do benefit from. In 20 years, our relationship to materialism has truly changed.
