THE GREAT CONJUNCTION, December 2020

THE GREAT CONJUNCTION

“The distance between this world and the other is exactly the width of a maple leaf.” Seneca Prophet, Handsome Lake

           On December 21, the shortest day of the year and the first day of winter in the northern hemisphere, of summer in the southern hemisphere, the two largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, come together in the most intimate meeting between them since the year 1623. This level of closeness won’t be matched again until the year 2080. They will literally be only 0.1 degree apart. Considering the size of our universe and the size of those planets, that’s pretty close! These are two of our slowest moving – furthest out there – planets, which means that whatever they do affects us all as a planetary species. Both are already visible in our south by southwest skies at sunset.

          This has been an unusual year from the start. Although we always begin our year with the Sun, Mercury and Vulcan in the sign of Capricorn, this January we had six planets in Capricorn, the sign of initiation and long-term karma. Three of them, including Jupiter and Saturn continued in that sign throughout the year which provides some explanation for the kind of year we had. This rough period of potential growth is the launching pad for sending humanity into the Age of Aquarius. Jupiter rules the sign of Aquarius. Just two days before this momentous conjunction, both planets will at last shift into the sign of Aquarius, the sign of all humanity, of joy and abundance, of coming together in groups to work toward unity, to bring a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood to the planet. These two planets together in this sign literally translate to, “Group Initiation.” We’ve had our preparatory period; now it’s time to make good on it. This IS the Age we must consciously choose to work together.

 Everyone: As you watch our two giant planets come together, feel the sense of unity and destiny this conjunction can mean.
