It could be the most important week of the year - and damn it's a doozie.

MONDAY - Mercury into Pisces (again)
THURSDAY - Sun sextile Saturn, Sun into Aries (Spring Equinox), Uranus sextile North Node, Chiron square the North Node/South Node
FRIDAY - Mars conjuncts Jupiter (22 degrees Capricorn) and squares Eris
SATURDAY - Saturn into Aquarius, Mercury trines North Node
SUNDAY - Mercury sextile Uranus

We have Mercury making her/his third pass through the early degrees of Pisces. 

We have multiple positive aspects to the North Node (our future) - which is in home, family and security oriented Cancer for just a few more weeks! Life is re-arranging itself for many, many people (enough to create a powerful shift) to withdraw their focus from the outer world, their careers and ambitions/the things that used to matter to them and redirect that energy toward where it is needed RIGHT NOW for this tipping point - home, mothering, nurturing, taking care of ourselves, creating a sanctuary, a home business, a family business, allowing ourselves to see vulnerability/newness as a strength.

We have the Sun (thank God and Goddess) exiting Pisces for the warrior energy of Aries kicking off a new astrological year.

We have volatile Mars catching up with expansive Jupiter (while squaring chaotic Eris!) at the hot 22 Cappy degree we had that MEGA meeting of Saturn/Pluto/Ceres and Mercury back in mid-January. At that time we were dealing with Trump's impeachment trial, the Iran bombing situation and China (whose chart is mega-impacted by the corona-virus) reporting its first death from the virus to the WHO. We also probably had personal situations going on then that could be re-activated in some way now.

Mars/Jupiter is BIG action, maybe BIG anger, BIG energy, BIG risk, leaping before we look comes to mind here, too. We will talk about this as we move through the week, but I would suspect people fired up over limits placed on them by authority would fit the bill also.

We have Saturn leaving Capricorn - remember he is the energy that has been holding it together - for Aquarius. Our Cappy house theme gets a breather while our Aquarius house makes room for daddy. Karma with trauma, new rules, social distancing, chaos as the new normal, immense opportunity/mega challenge, bringing EVERYONE to the table, eventually turning toward each other instead of looking for the answer/assistance from some hierarchical support system - all these things and more come to mind.

We talked about Monday HERE.

THURSDAY - the Sun (at the very end of Pisces) sextiles Saturn (at the very end of Capricorn) - so this is more of the Neptune/Saturn stuff we have been working through, maybe at this time opportunities to stabilize/limit (Saturn) this virus (Neptune) - before moving into fiery and passionate and "let's get something new started" Aries and kicking off a new solar year.
 
At the same time Uranus (change, chaos, the future) is sextiling (opportunity) the North Node in Cancer (home, family, mothering/nurturing, self care, vulnerability and Chiron is squaring the Nodes.

Chiron's square to the Nodes is one of the big players in this collective fear we are experiencing right now. Tension. Frustration. Very old wounds are triggered as we move toward what feels like a more vulnerable future.

FRIDAY - here's the BIG-DADDY DAY, but events could just be happening all week. Mars catches up with expansive Jupiter (while squaring chaotic Eris!) at the hot 22 Cappy degree we had that MEGA meeting of Saturn/Pluto/Ceres and Mercury back in mid-January. Back then we were dealing with Trump's impeachment trial, the Iran bombing situation, plus China (whose chart is mega-impacted by the corona-virus and mega-activated again today) reporting its first death from the virus to the WHO, the mama-bear standing all alone, etc.

What was going on in your life mid-January 2020?

The coincidence of Mars and Jupiter who only meet every couple years finding themselves together at this exact degree at this particular time is unbelievable!

Mars/Jupiter is BIG action, maybe BIG anger, BIG energy, BIG risk, leaping before we look comes to mind here, too. China is reporting devastating financial numbers and that is probably going to be a bigger story everywhere as we move through the rest of the year. Everyone is under the pressure to survive - even those people who think they are at the top of the food chain because the food chain is disappearing.

We will talk about Mars/Jupiter as we move through the week, but I would suspect people fired up over limits placed on them by authority would fit the bill also. Mars is exalted in Capricorn and this should help. Personally, if you have a confident move to make that will shake things up - here's your chance.

SATURDAY - Saturn exits stage left, his home sign of Capricorn, and enters stage right, his "ancient" home sign, of Aquarius (Uranus - what the hell have you done with the place?).

Saturn (limits, structure, authority) will be in Aquarius (the future, groups, tech) until July 1, 2020 and then dip back into Capricorn until December 17, 2020 - after that Saturn will be in Aquarius until March 7, 2023.

So, we flash ahead NOW with a glimpse of things to come (especially what to expect on the December 21, 2020 Winter Solstice when Saturn meets Jupiter at 0 degrees Aquarius for the first time in hundreds of years), then we move back to clean up our Cappy loose ends and then it's full steam ahead into the future.

The last time Saturn was in Aquarius was 1991-1994 - what was happening in your life back then?

For this round, and we are already feeling this, it appears we will start this transit with limits/rules (Saturn) with groups/our freedoms (Aquarius), chaos/disruption (Aquarius) as our new reality/structure (Saturn), but it is going to be about much more than this as we move through it. We are on the Age of Aquarius timeline now. Anything is possible as long as we have never done it before.

Looking backward, trying to do "it" the way we did "it" before (think: what Saturn collectively rules here - our careers, work in the world, government, business, structure, time, your Cappy house theme) IS NOT GOING TO WORK. Business as usual is over. Remember what we talked about in THIS post about this time of UNKNOWING. We are going to need a beginner's mind to navigate these new waters. The future will not look like the past. We are going to have to balance Saturn's need for structure, limits, supportive routines, etc with Aquarius/Uranus's need for innovation, freedom and spontaneity as we turn toward each other instead of looking for someone above us to care for us/control us.

At the same time we have Mercury trining (brakes off) the North Node in Cancer and sextiling (opportunity) the South Node in Capricorn. This is confirming the above scenarios, which still sound slightly terrifying to this fixed Aquarian (me), are PROGRESS. Information comes in - that pulls us home/toward our inner world/nurturing and smoothly releases any clinging to outdated ambitions/old titles and responsibilities. We had this aspect back on February 26, 2020, when Mercury was retrograde, so something from that time period could be in play now.

SUNDAY - Mercury, in early Pisces and fresh off her/his trine to the North Node - now sextiles (opportunity) Uranus in Taurus. Ideas/information/communications focused on new ways to use our resources, earn money, what is important to us/what we value NOW are highlighted.

It's time for a cool head and some common sense.

Fear will steal our breath long before any virus has the chance to!

Keep in mind the long game - we are moving into a brand new world, unwinding thousands of years of patriarchal conditioning, transforming our relationship with power, releasing massive collective fear as the breath we have been holding for centuries begins to get exhaled - we were born - and CHOSE - to be alive right now.

We literally were born to do this!

Back with the dailies and some big picture stuff.

Whatever the f*ck is really happening here (and it's probably not what it looks like is happening with all this Pisces), life has certainly got our attention with this one.

In the meantime take care of yourself.

Think about that North Node in Cancer we have been talking about for almost a year and a half - coming home, going within, creating a sanctuary, being able to appreciate our own vulnerabilities - we have feathered our nest for a reason, folks.

Also keep in mind there are featherless (and toilet paper-less) people out there, let's not be greedy assholes. Let's take care of each other.

xo all

some dates to keep in mind - April 4th is the first of three Jupiter/Pluto conjunctions (next is June and finally in November) - maybe we can get a glimpse of some kind of end-game with these transits, also in May the Nodes will move to Gemini/Sag - we talked about that HERE - changing our direction and allowing us multiple opportunities to 'grow where we are planted' AND we have Jupiter/Saturn meeting in Aquarius in December which will kind of bring us back to where we are this week, hopefully older and wiser ... and more connected with each other.
