Astrology September 2020 - Jupiter, Mars and Saturn - Here We Go Again

Get ready for a "Here we go again" fall! 

We start off the season with a lot of activity in the sign of Capricorn. Jupiter (the planet of luck that's expansive, big-thinking, but can also make people overly optimistic) and Saturn (the have you learned your lessons planet which ignites discipline, restrictions, and limitations) are turning direct and making their way back to crossing paths with Pluto again (the transformation planet which slowly destroys to rebuild). This love-hate relationship started in December 2019.

Did you know that "Astrologers Predicted 2020 Would Be Dramatically Life-Changing...?"

With a lot of planetary activity happening in Capricorn, we (the people) aren't finished our new revolution (or with COVID-19). We're going to be making it known (especially to our governments including school systems) that our needs aren't being met and we aren't getting what we want. This is a time where we will be pushing for answers! In the end, many of us will be asking, "How are they going to help us make our dreams come true. But do we even know what our dreams are, today? 

This is a time where structures will crumble and be rebuilt. Not all have to be negative and tragic. There is positive change that isn't too far off in the future. Innovation and forward-thinking start manifesting as several planets move into Aquarius at the end of this year going into early 2021. This energy can lead to 'BIG' global changes and possibly even a cure for a disease noone expected to heal. And I'm not talking coronavirus here.

Here's a snapshot of what to expect this fall.

Sept 9th to Nov 13th Mars goes retrograde in Aries 

It will have the strongest effect on people who have planets in a fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) with aspects at 28 to 15 degrees.

Now is a time to think things through. Be patient. Take deep breaths versus getting angry. It's time to be focused. Watch running over people to achieve your goals. Really take some time to think about what is worth and not worth fighting for.

Sept 12 - June 21 Transit Jupiter in Capricorn goes direct   

When Jupiter goes direct, things that have been in the planning stage since May 2020 are ready to be executed! It's a great time to implement new strategies. Opportunities you thought were lost come back. Jupiter is the planet of luck. But it also creates so much optimism that people may go to an extreme. Just because gyms and bars are open, doesn't mean coronavirus is gone. Coronavirus is with us for another year. We need to wear those masks and social distance. I get it. It sucks. But it will save lives (even yours) as the coronavirus hasn't reached the Tipping Point yet. 

With Mars retrograde and Jupiter reconnecting with Pluto, we are also faced with the "Here we go again!".  This is the time for 'out with the old' and 'in with the new'. But to accomplish this things can get a little heated as beliefs and old patterns will be triggered. 

September 29th Saturn in Capricorn goes direct

This is the last time Saturn will be in Capricorn for another 28 - 29 years (YAY!!!) Even though Saturn is at its home in Capricorn, it constantly teaches and forces people to have to work harder than they have in the past. When Saturn finally moves to Aquarius in December 2020, progress will be made and things will start to be built. We just need to watch for global friction. We can become a leader again. But we need a leader first. Remember, Saturn is the planet of 'did you learn your lesson'. Let's hope we do!

Saturn going direct will shift the energy to start making and committing to decisions. The energy says 'commit to what you take on' and 'take responsibility for the choices you make'. It's time to produce and achieve! But at what cost?

Mars and Saturn are going to create a bit of a tug-a-war right around September 29th.  Watch out for the 'we need to do it now' vs 'no, we need to wait' push and pull right around this time. 

The Great Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction on December 21, 2020

We started off 2020 with a bang and looks as if the planets aren't going to give us a break. 2020 ends with what astrologers are calling the Great Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. Worried, yet? Decisions and actions made on a global and personal level will affect the next 20 years of our lives. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we're smart!

Coronavirus update:  Nov 2021 coronavirus is finally manageable. We still have quite a journey to get there.

Beginners Guide to Astrology and Its Signs

Sun Sign Astrology

Many of us know our Sun Sign, but aren't aware of other astrological factors that can be used to gain a better understanding of who we are and why certain events are happening in our lives.

Today's astrology has evolved significantly since the first known organized system of astrology, Babylonian Astrology. Like the Babylonians, we still are able to use the planets and stars to predict the likelihood of possible catastrophic events such as flooding and war. But now we are also able to gain a better understanding of a person's personality, strengths, weaknesses, interests and even possible future events such as a career change and relocation.

The following is a guest blog post - Beginners Guide to Astrology and Its Signs - written by Karen Sealy, a psychic and astrologer, providing insight into each Sun Signs element which gives you a little bit more information about who you are. 

The meaning behind studying astrology is to formulate a connection between the movements of planetary bodies in the sky and events in our own lives back on Earth. It is very revealing to study these positions and movements as planets are continuously moving so there is a different prediction waiting every day.

Astrology is common among those members of the general public who read their star signs in a newspaper, otherwise known as Sun Sign astrology. This sign is calculated in the same way that the different signs of the zodiac work, so using a particular date range of the month that you were born in. Apply your birthday to the list below to work out your Sun Sign element and then read about what these say about you underneath.

Earth Sign

Capricorn:     Dec 22^nd – Jan 19^th.

Taurus:         April 20^th – May 20^th.

Virgo:           Aug 23^rd – Sept 22^nd.

What they lack in energy, Earth Signs make up for in persistence and determination, seeing projects right through to the end. Their practical, nurturing and careful characteristics make them extremely suitable as business advisors, teachers and bankers. They possess good leadership qualities and give their advice freely. Earth Signs tend to take a long time to trust people fully and can appear withdrawn and contemplative because of this, but once the trust has been gained they will come across as the complete opposite and be loyal to the very last.

Air Sign

Aquarius:    Jan 20^th – Feb 18^th.

Gemini:       May 21^st – June 20^th.

Libra:         Sept 23^rd – Oct 22^nd.

Those with a faster pace of life are most often the Air Signs among us. They are forgiving, great communicators and determined to find out the truth behind every situation as they seek to keep everything running smoothly. Many activists are Air Signs which is noticeable in their persistence to power ahead and make necessary changes. You’ll also find that with being an Air sign you swing between mind-sets and change your course of action on a regular basis – ploughing your energy into a new cause every week. They will, however, always make you laugh along the way.

Water Sign

Pisces:         Feb 19^th – Mar 20^th.

Cancer:       June 21^st – July 22^nd.

Scorpio:      Oct 23^rd – Nov 21^st.

No pun intended, Water Signs are the deepest signs of the zodiac, always looking for the deeper meaning in life and love. It’s rarely entirely clear what a Water Sign is thinking and, likewise, they feel little need to know the thoughts of others, potentially appearing remote and detached as a result. Breaking the trust of a Water Sign is very hard to regain as their loyalty is strong, and they can become very protective over those deemed vulnerable. Water Signs also boast a very creative flare that stems from their free imagination and results in wondrous pieces of art or intriguing novels.

Fire Sign

Aries:          Mar 21^st – April 19^th.

Leo:           July 23^rd – Aug 22^nd.

Sagittarius:  Nov 22^nd – Dec 21^st.

Fire sign people are leaders with dynamic personalities that put the get-up-and-go in everyone else. They are charismatic and energetic, not afraid to speak their mind and the truth. While they may cause offence to others on their quest to the top, Fire Signs are not purposely spiteful – they simply don’t have the time for any idle day dreamers. Fire Signs will either be loved for their passionate love of life, or disliked for their bossy, powerful points of view. Either way, they are the life and soul of any party, competing with Air Signs for the most attention.
