Saturn and Jupiter Conjunction in Aquarius December 21, 2020

We’re saying good-bye to 2020 with a big event that’s happening on Monday, December 21st  as the much anticipated planetary change of Saturn and Jupiter meeting in Aquarius is happening on this day.

Saturn entered Aquarius on Thursday, December 17th and Jupiter is coming to join him and they’re meeting at 0 degrees. Why is this important? Every time an outer planet changes signs is a big deal given that they move at a slower pace than inner planets. Although these two planets are going to be in the same sign of Aquarius, they’re not going to always be on the same degree, which in astrology it’s called a conjunction. Most importantly, they only meet every 20 years. Jupiter spends approximately one year in each sign, while Saturn spends approximately 2.5 years in a sign. Meaning that Jupiter enters Aquarius and takes off (of course it will retrograde) and Saturn is slowly making himself comfortable taking its time cruising through Aquarius.

But, what do Saturn and Jupiter represent? Saturn on its highest energy represents the work we need to do, structure, commitment; on it’s challenging energy it represents restrictions, discipline, lessons to be learned. I’m not going to sugarcoat Saturn as it’s not about rainbows and unicorns. Saturn demands work but it’s for your highest good. And, Jupiter on it’s highest energy represents expansion, opportunity and joy; on it’s lowest energy it represents overindulgence. Aquarius sign represents technology, innovations, humanitarian causes (charities/activism), changes, being different and freedom.

This means Saturn and Jupiter are going to be doing a beautiful dance together. Where Jupiter brings abundance, Saturn says save some too - don’t spend it all! Jupiter is like that carefree friend that just wants to have tons of fun and Saturn is that friend who pulls you away right before you get in trouble. It’s a good combo. We are all going to be influenced by their dance. It’s just that we are all going to feel it in different ways. Oohh and this is happening on the day of the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (Summer in the Southern Hemisphere). And, we just had the eclipse on December 14th - eclipses call for change in your life. Talk about an interesting timing of events!

Can’t ignore the Winter Solstice as it represents the changing of seasons from Fall to Winter and from Sagittarius to Capricorn but that’s on another blog. On this day, do a quick journey inwards to honor it. Burn sage to clear the air (make sure windows are open while you do it), burn incense, essential oils. Pull some oracle cards. Hold your favorite crystal in your hands and take deep breaths. A little connection with yourself doesn’t have to be fancy. Don’t do it for the ’gram, do it for yourself!

A great book to read now is Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. If you have read it, I suggest rereading it as it may give you some new insights. Aquarius is about innovations and ideas and having Saturn (the old ruler of Aquarius before Uranus was discovered) and Jupiter (the planet of expansion) in this sign, it’s a good time to get your ideas going.
