PLUTO AND JUPITER, June 2020

PLUTO AND JUPITER

“It always seemed to me that I had to answer questions which fate posed to my forefathers, and which had not yet been answered, or as if I had to complete, or perhaps continue, things which previous ages left unfinished.” Carl Jung

            Much conversation centered on the early April conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto and its seeming impacts in the form of Coronavirus. This conjunction occurs three times this year, the second time being the end of this month in retrograde mode; the third time in November back to direct mode. In Esoteric Astrology, we consider retrogrades the most spiritual expression of the planets. When direct, planets must adhere to the precise meanings of the sign in which they occur as well as their own translations. When they go retrograde, a form which we often refer to as “is, but isn’t,” the door of opportunity opens wide. Not only are these two planets entering retrograde but so will four others by the end of the month.

          Retrogrades are a time for deep pondering, meditating about decisions that can be enacted when the planets go direct. Pluto is the planetary ruler of Pisces, the Age we are leaving while Jupiter is the planetary ruler of Aquarius, the Age we are entering. This is the clash of the Ages, the clash of Titans. During this time of retrograde we are granted the opportunity to define what our new Age will look like, how it will differ from the last. It is a time to re-think, re-evaluate and re-create who it is that we as the species named Humanity, want to be as a Whole. The Age of Aquarius IS the Age of Humanity. The sign of Capricorn, which both planets are in, indicates initiation into our next stage of evolution. An initiation requires a life-threatening situation, otherwise why would we transform? This is a time of Transformation.

 Everyone: We shift from the sign of communication into that of family.
