Stellar Insights: June 29 - July 5, 2020

As you know, when I look to this year, I see it as one of radical transformation. This is owing to 2020 featuring both a Saturn/Pluto Conjunction and a Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction, both in Capricorn, the sign that rules institutionalized structures.

The common denominator here? Pluto. It’s the planet connected to the realms of power, control, secrets, buried treasures, substrata, what’s hidden, essential nature, generativity, the life/death cycle, and, inherently also, transformation.

With Saturn connecting to Pluto in its every 30-plus year conjunction, it’s forcing us to pay attention to Plutonian issues, and not shy our eyes from them. With Jupiter connecting to Pluto, it’s both having these Pluto realms take up more space in our attention as well as, ideally, having us learn great lessons from that occurrence.

While 2020 began with the Saturn/Pluto Conjunction (exact on January 12), all year we have periods in which the volcanic power of Pluto is really potent, owing to the Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction exactly occurring three times: on April 4, on June 30, and on November 12.

So, here we are in another week in which this radical transformation may seem like a very compelling invitation and something that really permeates throughout personal and collective events and realizations.

I can only imagine that we may see an elevation of awareness related to issues having to do with dismantling structures, evidencing the dynamics of power, calling out BS, determining what’s essential and what’s not, understanding the depth of resourcefulness, and/or the revealing of secrets.

While we observe these occurring in the world, it behooves us to take an honest look at to what it stirs for us personally and how it’s informing not only our awareness but also the powerful actions we may want to take. Additionally, we can take the opportunity to look to our lives through the lens of these thematics, and seeing how we may want to further forward the radical transformation we have been personally moving through this year. Given this exact Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction occurs on the same day as the Sun/Mercury Conjunction, we may find that it feels even more emotionally nurturing to gather information and communicate what it is that we’re learning about all of this this week; additionally, the news cycle may seem even more active (if that’s even possible!).

That all would make for a quite amplified week, and yet also we have a Lunar Eclipse this coming weekend. Of course, Eclipses, aren’t one day phenomena and so we’ve already been guided by the illumination that this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse carries. That said, as it does get closer, it does feel that its invitations feel even more potent. For details about this lunation, see the article that I wrote here.

But wait there’s more ☺

On Wednesday, Saturn re/enters Capricorn, for its final five-plus month foray in this sign. It leaped into Aquarius on March 21, and since then we’ve been paying more attention to the realms of collectives, online platforms, and community mores, topics that will be a strong focus for years to come when Saturn returns to Aquarius on December 19. Yet until then, with Saturn in Capricorn, it seems like the taskmaster will be having us take a concentrated look at the blueprint of businesses, financial markets, government organization, healthcare systems, institutions dedicated to older people, the rule of law, and the like to see if their current structure can withstand the stress tests they are undergoing. Additionally, in the coming months we may gain further insights into how we collectively view and engage with realms such as historical legacies, aging, architecture, and patriarchy. As Saturn entered Capricorn in December of 2017, it seems that the next months may provide us with a deeper level of understanding related to the theme of taking responsibility for what we’ve built and what we’re building that has taken up our awareness since then.

All my very best,

Stephanie
