ASTROLOGICAL CONSULTATION

AND COUNSELING

The Great Conjunctions of 2020 have been preparing us for the NEW AGE that we are now entering. This is the biggest turning point we will witness in our lifetime. It started with the Saturn/Pluto conjunction at 22 Capricorn on the 12th January 2020 followed by the conjunctions of Saturn/Jupiter and Pluto/Jupiter all in Capricorn and the year will end with the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction at 0 AQUARIUS 26 on the 21st DECEMBER, 2020. This is a momentous moment in time when these major outer planets enter their long journey thru the AIR signs. It will make this conjunction only once, no ifs, no buts, no why’s, no wherefores. THIS IS IT. A NEW AGE BEGINS NOW Jupiter and Saturn only come together every 20 years. As representatives of Society, they signal a social shift in the Outer world. A societal, structural transformation that will bring a new wave of cultural expectations and experiences. This process will peak at the opposition in ten year’s time and dissolve into a new wave at the following conjunction. For the last 240 years these major conjunctions have been in the EARTH element. It was this first conjunction of Jupiter/Saturn in Earth that ushered in the Industrial Revolution. Now, from the end of this year we will have these major planetary get togethers in the element of AIR. Watch Technology giants such as Apple. I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduce a new type of technology that we won’t be able to live without. This conjunction is an astrological signature for a new way of doing things. It brings with it a new set of values. Lockdown has given us the space and time to take stock and to refocus our priorities. It has given us a lot of time to reflect. Do we need to live in a world that is driven by Consumerism? As Saturn and Jupiter journey through the Air signs they will force us to focus on the quality of the Air we breathe. This in turn will make man focus on Conservation and the Technology required to bring about these changes. Air moves very fast and it’s invisible, so things will be changing at a great speed; almost without us realising what is happening. Many businesses will collapse if they are based solely on consumerism, especially if they don’t attempt to diversify and use sustainable products such as Bamboo and Hemp, in their manufacturing. I’ve just seen the headlines on this morning’s news “Every home in Britain will be run by Wind”. If humanity is to survive, our priorities in life will have to be about Conservation and not using up the Earth’s resources. The old adage “Waste not, want not” will be the new mantra, driven by the younger generations. In a recent interview, when Sir David Attenborough was asked for his message to the world, he replied “Don’t waste anything”. An Astrological Conjunction is like a New Moon. It indicates the start or beginning of something. Think about a New Moon, when both the Sun and the Moon are together in the sky and everything is dark. This is where the world is, at this point in time, however some of us are fortunate enough to have a torch ( our astrological knowledge) to guide us on our way and to give us some clues as to where we are heading. There is always a period of darkness when a new life is created. There has to be a Gestation period when we can’t see the way ahead, before a new birth can take place. We have reached the time when historians will look back and say this was the “Beginning of the End of the Old World” as we knew it and the “Start of the New World.” One thing is for sure and that is that we will be travelling thru new territory and the sky will gradually, over time, become lighter as the new world unfolds before us. As the Coronavirus spread rapidly throughout the whole world, it became a Pandemic which has brought about the most extraordinary changes in just a few short months. Life on this planet as we know it, will never be quite the same again. Everything is changing at an amazing speed. Nothing will go back to the way it was before the Virus, so one needs to adjust very very fast. On the 12th November 2020 we will have the final Jupiter/ Pluto conjunction in Capricorn, rapidly clearing out everything that is outmoded and detrimental to our sustainability in the New Age ahead of us. Pluto is ruthless and it won’t allow the world to continue in the same old way that it has done in the past few hundred years. All over the world everything is going to change. This is already becoming obvious in many different countries. The changes will be dramatic. Pluto will move into Aquarius accompanied by the Sun in January 2024. By that time we really should be well prepared for the New Aquarian Age.
