The Never Ending Movie

Annular Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Cancer on June 21 at 1:40:04 CST

It feels like the whole world has gone crazy and we are in a terrible apocalyptic movie that just won’t end. Unfortunately, it looks like there are more frames in the film to be played out.

With the once every 500 year triple conjunction of powerhouse planets Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter extending their influence all year, we are experiencing the tumultuous upturning of everything. Neptune is in the dreaded last ten degrees of Pisces, which promises more deception and illness. And now we have the Solar Eclipse and Mars looming in the near future.

Eclipses are windows of personal transformation and are keys to predicting world events. It is important to remember that events don’t always occur exactly on or close to the date of the eclipse, but nevertheless, change is ignited through these powerful patterns and the energy can be seen to play out in the months that follow.

Some eclipses are stronger than others and this one is very strong. Eclipses can bring natural disasters and other large scale events.

This eclipse is very similar to the 2001 eclipse that occurred before 9/11.

This eclipse is in Cancer, a sign concerned with the home, family, emotions, safety, and in Mundane Astrology, the homeland and security. Some believe that this eclipse may trigger a new financial upset since it aspects the United States’ Venus (rules money and values) or some type of violence since Mars is heavily involved.

The Sun, Moon and North Node are conjunct during this eclipse, bringing world karma into play. When an eclipse involves the North Node, look for events to happen suddenly. Mars in Pisces squares the eclipse, bringing the possibility for more hostility and attack. Uranus and Neptune are semi square the eclipse, bringing the unexpected and potential for great delusion.

This will be a very confusing time for the populace. Five planets will be retrograde during this eclipse (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto). As a result, expect revelations, reversals and revisiting of past issues.

To top this off, Mars enters aggressive and assertive Aries just a few days after this eclipse and stays there for an unusually long time, until January 2021. During this time warrior Mars will be over the 4^th house of the United States, indicating law and order issues and possible terrorism. It is retrograde from September 9 to November 13, which is during the US Presidential election. Watch for high emotion and possible violence. When Mars squares Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, this can trigger changes in government, business and other foundational structures. Mars squares Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto three times this year. This is potentially explosive.

Annular Solar Eclipse – Happy Surprises! December 25, 2019 at 8:29 PM CST

This is a fortunate Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 degrees Capricorn, when the Sun and Moon come together – a very powerful time for formulating your goals for 2020 and beyond and leaving behind those things that no longer support your growth.

This is an especially optimistic eclipse because it includes a conjunction to lucky and expansive, truth seeking Jupiter. Jupiter brings blessings and the trine to Uranus brings the sudden and unexpected. Look for happy and surprising good luck as well as epiphanies and positive changes

This eclipse is only visible from the Eastern Hemisphere, from Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia and other locations in this part of the world. However, the effects are felt worldwide and will last about six months bringing opportunities for growth, personal freedom, spiritual awareness and new and unusual experiences.

Truth continues to be Told

Jupiter emphasizes truth and freedom. In Capricorn, this relates to truth regarding the foundational institutions of the world and freedom from tyranny of all sorts. With Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all in Capricorn, this is a serious time for these old underpinnings of our existence. With Pluto (transformation) conjunct Saturn (lessons and responsibility), look for more painful revelations in the institutional areas of our lives including government, business, religion and media.

2020 – Reformation Repeat or Global Reboot?

Astrologers worldwide are anticipating the transformational energy of the unusual line-up of planetary energies in January 2020. At that time, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto will all be in Capricorn.

Solar Eclipse on December 26

The very fortuitous New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 26 at 4 degrees Capricorn, is positively aspected to lucky Jupiter and innovative Uranus, bringing the opportunities for expansion and new and unusual experiences. This is a time for growth and success with an emphasis on personal freedom. The effects of this eclipse will be felt for about 6 months, providing positive and happy energy to help us through the anticipated big changes to come.

Saturn Conjunct Pluto Plus Jupiter

Saturn and Pluto have been in Capricorn for some time now but will form a powerful conjunction beginning January 12, 2020 which will continue throughout 2020. In addition, Jupiter joins this conjunction for most of the year, adding power and expansion to this already very intense connection.

The last time Pluto and Saturn were conjunct in Capricorn was in January 1518, 2 months after Martin Luther (with 5 planets in transforming Scorpio) nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, challenging the power of the Catholic Church, launching the Great Reformation and the protestant revolution.

Saturn

Saturn is the lesson bringer and the builder. It rules structure, foundation, integrity, responsibility and government —how we govern ourselves and each other. Saturn teaches patience as it represents old age, the slow passage of time and the wisdom that comes with life experience. When Saturn is in Capricorn expect to reap the rewards of past actions, for good or bad.

Pluto

Pluto is the great destroyer and brings about powerful and often painful transformation. Pluto will dredge up the dross to expose it to the cleansing light of day. With Pluto in Capricorn since November 2008, it has certainly brought many scandals to light. Expect more of this to be exposed as this cleansing is necessary to release the old and welcome the new paradigm that is emerging.

Saturn Pluto Cycles

When Saturn and Pluto come together this can result in either greater empowerment of the status quo or revolutionary change and a dissolution of power. They make hard angles every 8 ¼ years, are in opposition every 16 ½ years and are conjunct every 33 years. These hard angles result in upheavals and often uncomfortable change. Some world events that coincide with this cycle include World War I in 1914, the Vietnam War in 1965 and the 9/11 World Trade Center tragedy in 2001.

North and South Nodes – Karmic Cycles

Major karmic events, both global and personal, revolve around the position of the North and South Nodes. In November 2018, the North Node moved into Cancer and the South Node in Capricorn. The Nodes have a cycle of 18 ½ years, so at the halfway point and quarter points, hard aspects are formed bringing about change.

The North Node represents what we should move towards in our evolution and in the natal chart, it represents your life’s path. The South Node indicates what has been mastered in the past and the talents that are available to support the North Node transformation. However, because the North Node energies are new and unknown, we may be tempted to fall back on the tried and true and miss our opportunity for growth.

With the North Node in Cancer at this time, the world is being called to focus on humanity and operate from the heart rather than the head. We are urged to nurture the people (Cancer and the Moon North Node) rather than the command and control all-business approach of the Capricorn South Node. The best expression of the North Node would be to harness the administrative talents of Capricorn to help others.

Ride the Wave of Change

With this explosive gathering of energies, expect change!

Uranus in Taurus until 2025 brings a desire for personal freedom. Innovations and new inventions and breakthroughs related to health, diet, finances and fashion can be expected. Taurus rules the earth, so expect more earth changes, storms and migrations of people out of areas of famine. This is a time of understanding what you value in belongings and personal relationships.

People, institutions and governments that serve with flexibility and humanity should thrive whereas those that are rigid and unbending will be dramatically changed.

Get ready to ride this wave of change into 2020 and beyond! Stay centered, work from your heart and treat others with compassion. This is an exciting time to be alive as we say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

“Pluto’s journey through Capricorn until 2024 will ultimately restructure the foundations upon which we’ve to build our culture, including the economy itself.” –Rick Levine
