The Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction of 2020-2021

 

 

The Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction of 2020-2021

I have noticed that lately there has been a conspicuous proliferation of astrological articles designed to opine, dissertate or orient the reader around the infamous Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction. More than legitimate and advantageous in the context of research.

The most extreme and varied theories have been expressed, from the catharsis of mankind to its ultimate extinction. For some, the Apocalypse has begun.

Let us try to clear our minds.

Entering into the Manuscript Tradition confirmed by astronomical discoveries, we learn that one of these important Conjunctions took place on 7 B.C. in the Constellation of Pisces, coinciding with the Coming into the World of the Χριστός, Christós, the “Anointed One“, i.e. the new King of Israel.

The discoverer of the event was the astronomer John Kepler, who not only unveiled the exact dates of the astronomical events, but also discovered an ancient commentary on the Holy Scriptures by Rabbi Isaac Abarbanel from the 16th century, which recalls a Jewish belief that the Messiah would appear when Jupiter and Saturn combined their brightness in the Sign of Pisces.

More than two centuries later, the Danish Bishop and Freemason Friederich Münter managed to find a Jewish commentary on the Book of Daniel, where Jewish scholars described the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Pisces as a “Sign of Heaven”, signifying the coming of the Messiah.

Further confirmation of the event comes from an ancient Egyptian papyrus, preserved in Berlin and published in 1902 under the title of Planetary Table, where the ephemerides from 17 B.C. to 10 A.C. are listed. In 1925, the Stellar Calendar of Sippar was found, a tablet written in cuneiform script, from Sippar itself, the site of a renowned school of Babylonian Astrology. The tablet contains the dates relating to the triple conjunction of Jupiter-Saturn in 7 B.C., namely: 29 May – 1 October – 5 December.

For the Astrological Analysis.

The Conjunction occurred on 7 B.C., as confirmed, was calculated by the same Astronomer and Astrologer John Kepler, who wittily observed that not only did it occur in a triple form, but it was close to the Vernal Point, i.e. at 0° degrees of the Sign of Aries.

From his studies he deduced that these Conjunctions, which occur every 794 years, and which according to him mark Epochal Mutations, were called Conjunctio Maxima, that is Maximum Conjunction.

In today’s case, we are not in the vicinity of the Vernal Point, but in the Sign of Aquarius, and it follows that the effects will be of mutation, but in a delimited manner and limited to certain specific events.

Remaining within the predominantly astrological and disciplinary sphere, the Planetary Aspect in question is not a bulwark of a Spiritual character or a Celestial Grace that metamorphoses the human being, raising him to an exalted level. It is rather a test to which humanity will be subjected to validate its maturation. At least its growth.

It also sanctions an advancement, a change of state in the sphere of Consciousness. And it is not an easy task.

I will try to be even clearer.

In Classical Astrology, that is, Birthday Astrology, which studies the Astral Influences acting on the human character and soul, the Aspect of Jupiter in Conjunction with Saturn is summarised according to Sementovsky-Kurilo, one of the very first astrological texts, in these terms:

“Honesty and uprightness. Seriousness and depth of thought. These individuals are invariably respectful of tradition and of the imperishable values of human civilisation; indeed, at times, in speeches and writings, they take the part of passionate defenders of both. Philosophical studies. In spite of the best gifts of the spirit and the often intense work they do, the social and material situation of these individuals is far from always corresponding to the intrinsic value of their personality. Love of nature and a tendency towards solitude, and at the same time a conception of life based on the idea of the glorification of suffering.“

I would like to add a small personal note to the above analysis:

Sometimes a sense of insecurity pervades them so much as to generate a lack of personal esteem, a sense of inferiority and dissatisfaction. The character is shy, tending towards misanthropy. In spite of their untiring efforts, some of them suffer financial hardship and uncertainty in their work.

Both descriptions do not conflict, but rather complement and complement each other.

In short, this means that what is valid for Birthday Astrology is, to a higher degree, valid for World Astrology. With the necessary adjustments.

I will try to be even more intelligible.

If we are talking about Jupiter and Saturn, a first large Conjunction occurred in Capricorn from February 14, 2020, in fact a proscenium characterised by cynical careerism has emerged. The affluent of the world became more and more prosperous and increased in number, while the destitute or those afflicted by poverty, in multitudes, on flotillas or solitary and scattered in the suburbs of the metropolises, oblivious and besieged by gloomy pauperism. The world’s stock exchanges toasted to the new levels tested. Even though the Influence was radiating its unmistakable stigma far and wide.

But the test to which the human race will be subjected will be a tireless effort to understand the source of selfish impulses and their limitations. To be aware of one’s own egotistical and individualistic impulses, as behaviour that is harmful to one’s neighbour and consequently to humanity as a whole.

It is cathartic to separate these imperious impulses from ordinary life and consign them to oblivion, going back to the beginning when Purity of Heart reigned supreme.

The Planetary Aspect treated inclines towards the reflection of philosophical character and on transcending the ordinariness of the world. Towards the thoughts that tend to make a man mature and wise. Not avulsed however from troubles and tribulations that accompany this process.

This development in the Sign of Aquarius will instill the seed of foresight towards “New Heavens and New Lands“, with the complicity of Space Travel and the use of Digital Coins as tools for the abatement of pauperism and social inequalities.

Jupiter Conjunction to Saturn will decree the beginning of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, with the advent of Interplanetary Travel, the Planetary Colonization of the Solar System, the widespread and accepted use of Crypto Currencies as alternative payment systems and tools to fight poverty. It will also sanction the validity of epochal Scientific Discoveries of fundamental importance in the fields of Medicine, Computer Science related to the Social field and, through Quantum Physics, there will be a new understanding of the Cosmic Mechanisms that underlie the Origin of the Universe and the Meaning of Life. Radio signals of Extraterrestrial Life will also be detected in Space.

All this will be sanctioned and emphasised in a clear and remarkable way by the entrance of Pluto in Aquarius, which will take place on 21 January 2024 and will continue until 19 January 2044.

In my personal opinion, following the forecasts previously published in the article Eris, Pluto and the Pandemic, there will be no miraculous solution of the panacea for all evils in 2021, i.e. a vaccine tested in exceptional times that is good for everyone. Rather, there will be tragic, and in some cases fatal, events that escape the optimistic predictions of doctors and virologists. This is because the Quadrature of Pluto over Eris will continue until the end of 2025.

There are, unfortunately, some esteemed and knowledgeable colleagues who think that 2021 will be the year of redemption from the socio-economic point of view, thanks to the Aspect of Conjunction and the massive use of vaccination. I do not believe in these hasty hopes.

Therefore, I believe that we will have to live with the virus, contemplating it as a new threat in the panorama of infectious or viral diseases. Just as the spectre of pulmonary diseases was a long time ago, leaving little room for hope. Rather, I think that an effective cure will be found that will circumscribe the Pandemic and reduce the moments of panic that have characterized this dark period in history.

Metamorphosis, however, is represented by the last outpost of the Solar System, Planet Sedna.

We must not forget that the Aspect of Pluto in Capricorn in Quadrature to Eris in Aries will also stimulate magmatic currents in the subsoil, favoring powerful seismic activities. From now until the end of 2025 violent earthquake activities could be recorded.

With the concomitant presence of Neptune in Pisces, to the feared telluric activity, there is a probability that strips, portions or plots of land may suddenly undergo submergence and others, forgotten, re-emerge from the darkness of history.

May the Nume of Pelago dispel the mystery and Chronos show us the ways to Heaven.
