Sunday January 12th, we have a special alignment occurring in our Solar System, it is quite a rare alignment and it will make us feel the urge to stop and take notice. This alignment is the Saturn Pluto Conjunction falling at exactly 22 degrees in Capricorn. Although they will only come together once, their energy will create a ripple that will be felt the entire year and beyond.
Astrologically, a conjunction is the alignment of two planets at the exact same degree of the zodiac. Conjunctions happen all the time, it’s just that some are rarer than others.
Saturn and Pluto last aligned in 1982 in the sign of Libra, but this time in 2020, they align in Capricorn, which is something none of us alive today have experienced before or will again.
The rarity of Saturn and Pluto coming together in Capricorn makes it special, and an alignment that all astrologers and those sensitive to the cosmos are going to connect with.
So, What Can We Expect… One of the foundational principles of Astrology is- as above, so below.
We are all connected to the heavens and the stars, and we can use the energies, formations, and alignments of the planets for clues on what is happening in the world around us and outside of us.
Astrology helps us to understand what vibrations are coursing through the cosmic skies, but how we feel those vibrations and integrate them into our being is entirely up to us, which is why our experience tends to be unique.
Saturn and Pluto aligning is one of those things we will all feel differently and our experience of it will be different too, however there are some important themes that we are likely to see, feel, and observe.
In fact, the energy of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction is something we are likely to see playing out on the world stage because it is such a strong and rare alignment.
The Saturn–Pluto cycle occurs roughly every 33 to 38 years, varying according to Pluto’s highly elliptical orbit. This meeting of forces represents, among other things, the redistribution of power in the world or, in other words, which faction will make the decisions that affect the greater collective, whether this occurs in plain sight or behind the scenes.
From a spiritual perspective, this cycle reflects a rite of passage determining who is most qualified to be the custodian of resources, and thus regulates who will be in a position of influence. In its purest form, this cycle is one of the highest tests of integrity and morality for those in authority, along with a test of capacity and resilience. Beyond the management of power, this cycle is also about the skill to increase power and the value of resources.
When we look to the past to see what unfolded under previous Saturn-Pluto conjunctions, we find world wars, economic collapses, stricter governments, a collapse of establishment in some way, and mass disease.
Saturn and Pluto don’t exactly have the greatest reputations. Saturn is known to be cold, strict, stern, almost like that unforgiving father figure that is never pleased no matter what you do or how much you achieve.
Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. It wants to destroy things in order to create more power and more freedom. It wants to rise up, strong and powerful like a Phoenix from the ashes, but sometimes the things that rise up can be too domineering or power-hungry for their own good.
Saturn and Pluto are definitely darker planets on the surface, but if we look a little deeper we can see that their darkness serves a higher purpose that bursts forward a new light that is stronger than before.
On higher levels, Saturn is ambitious and knows how to set healthy boundaries in order to find success in life. It is hard-working, persistent, loyal, and will never let you down. Saturn symbolizes strength and the willpower to go on, even when you are met with challenge after challenge.
Pluto is also the artist of transformation in our lives. It is the alchemy responsible for turning the caterpillar into a butterfly and helping us to transcend the lessons we learn in this life so we can fly higher.
Pluto also represents the highest transformation of them all, and that is the return to the love that we came from and the love that we are.
Whatever these two conjure up for us throughout 2020, it is certain that it will bring strong awakenings that will help to transform and shift us to new waves of consciousness.
A new way is emerging and that is what Saturn and Pluto are working towards. Some of the energies of the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction…
On the highest vibration, Saturn and Pluto aligning would help us to shift to a place of unconditional love, where we would all be able to work hard, remain loyal to our cause, and to find our own definition of success.
We can very much tap into this energy and achieve this for ourselves in 2020 under these energies, but we are likely to see some of the shadow stuff playing out too.
Life is full of duality, and while Saturn and Pluto aligning does have gifts, it can also bring a breakdown and a need to completely reorganise or rebuild things. Because of the strong Capricorn energy, this is most likely to play out in areas relating to our career, our ambition, and our definition of success.
On a global level, we are likely to see this energy playing out in areas relating to government, banking, and big corporations. These areas of society are destined to be in the spotlight under this energy resulting in either more power or complete destruction.
More likely than not, we will probably see both of these things happening in different ways and to varying degrees. Power struggles are also going to be a theme under this alignment.
We are going to be called to stand in our power and claim it back, or we may find ourselves too willing to hand it over to someone we think is going to help or save us. While it is fine to lean on others for support, there is a real lesson under this alignment of learning to stand in our power from a place of love.
We are all here on the planet under this special cosmic alignment, and it is a chance for all of us to choose a different way for ourselves and for the generations after us.
