Healing and reeling. Eclipse/solstice season

Neptune in Pisces

Aquarius and Aquarius Rising — Income, value, stability, material life. Your connection to what you own, how you make money is transforming. You need to bring more spirituality into your material life. You need to let go of and heal what you’ve been holding onto. What you think you need or what you think you value is an illusion. The seduction of the material world. Earning or using money for charitable or altruistic purposes.

December

The other big news this month is Saturn and Jupiter’s arrival in Aquarius on December 17 and 19 respectively, followed by a historic alignment on December 21. (In astrology this is called a Great Conjunction and only happens every 20 years.) It’s a time of new beginnings on a world level as well as a collective shift in focus.

A lot’s being made by other astrologers about this conjunction. True, apart from a conjunction in Libra in 1980, this conjunction in Aquarius marks a shift towards element Air — communication, connection, ideas, innovation, technology — and all the subsequent conjunctions will be in Air signs for the next two hundred years. It’s possible that we’re on the brink of a greater societal shift, one that will likely coincide with major technological breakthroughs. (We all live on Zoom right now, right?)

But we have to consider that every sign has two sides and while Aquarius will help us find our humanity and, hopefully, build new structures that are based on equity and fairness, Aquarius will also show us our inhumanity and our inequity … two halves of a whole. Then again it’s Sagittarius Season. One has to remain optimistic.

As previously mentioned, Saturn and Jupiter switch signs this month, and Saturn’s final two weeks in Capricorn is very much a consolidation of the lessons we’ve learned — lessons around accountability, hard work, structures, power, and boundaries. Did we step up to Saturn’s high bar over the past three years? Have we built something that is solid and sustainable?

When Saturn arrives in Aquarius, it’s not only a return to events from March through the end of June 2020, but a return to events from 1991 to 1994, the last time Saturn was in Aquarius. And for all of us, there’s a certain part of our life that will now need more serious attention. 

Saturn demands equity and balance. So if there’s a certain part of our lives that are out of balance and Saturn just so happens to be turning its attention to it, the next few years will be a major push to get things in order. For others, it may be a time of milestones and achievements and new ambitions. If Saturn in Capricorn was about building something physical, then Saturn in Aquarius will be about building new systems, networks, and technologies.
