We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything else.

(C. G. Jung)

We are in the midst of a new Era - I call it an Eradigm, a cluster of new paradigms - transitioning from old systems into more creative, solidary and conscious global structures. We astrologers were expecting a major event in January of 2020 (not knowing in what form, of course) that would signalise this global transformative process. Being in a second major wave of the challenge, we can, with the help of this millenary spiritual and esoteric art and science, Astrology, learn how to surf with these important times of opportunity and change.

Since antiquity, Astrology is the science of the immanent, occult, symbolic meaning of the cosmos. Aligned with an old axiom: “As above, so below”, reveals us the interconnectedness of everything and the patterns that shape our individual purpose and collective.

The rarest triple conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in the beginning of 2020, activated what this Lord of the underworld, Pluto, started from 2008 on, in the global economies and finance. Digging deep into what needs to die, recycle and rebirth, these “agents of change” demand our letting go of old and obsolete beliefs, structures and models – both individually and collectively. We need the courage to start anew in our evolving life circumstances and dare to dream a more wholesome, conscious and creative version of ourselves. The triple conjunction shows clearly what has decayed, which beliefs and modus operandi has no more power to inspire our collective destinies, and urge us to mine in our inner Selves, the gold of untapped resources, the freshness of new solutions and the light of our most loving and wise Self.

Are you ready to surf? To sail? Change is coming by waves in 2020. The first big one, in January, the second in September/October. Now is time to re-evaluate your lifestyle and goals as the transpersonal and social planets, from Jupiter to Pluto, will start gradually to turn “direct”. Consider change: perhaps a new way of doing things, or even a totally different course of action. Being the change, you want to see in the world, you contribute with your part to the global rebirth. This second semester of 2020, the second wave, will be “hot” in terms of a global rebellious mood: it's up to you, to use the fire of your energy with courage and compassion, as Neptune in Pisces and Mars in fiery Aries require a wiser alchemy. Knowing and feeling that we are all agents of this new world, together, we can develop respect and appreciation for our differences, sharing our creativity and insights, for the good of all.

Times demand the expression of your best version: don’t hold back your thoughts, your talents, your solutions, your gifts. Becoming more of the person you were born to be, authentic and conscious, is your personal revolution now.

From January, February of 2021, with Jupiter and Saturn already in airy Aquarius squaring its ruler, Uranus in Taurus, many changes planned in 2020 will start to be implemented. It is necessary that you flow with this immense first Aquarian tide, as it is preparing the ground for even deeper global transformation from 2024 on, when Pluto arrives into Aquarius. Changes in currencies, global trading, consequences of radiation, global digital (and others) people controlling systems and so much more will show that reality is more surprising than fiction.

Even though we may feel that making planes now is hard, accept the compromise of love with yourself, to update your potential, to grow in acceptance of what is while you work on your inner harmony, health and emotional balance. Neptune in Pisces demands an evolution on our religious, spiritual beliefs: claim the riches of your inner world, learn to connect and nurture your soul daily. The rewards will be astonishing.

These last years and 2020, have been very intense and demanding. Especially if you resisted the new cycles. But if you accept to flow with the change you can’t control and take responsibility for rebuilding, leading your part of the endeavour, you will lay the foundation for an epic future. Be willing to let go of the need to have “warranty certificates” - unexpected changes will be the motto for many years now. Learn something new that activates your right brain hemisphere, the nonverbal, emotional holistic one. It can be poetry, music, spirituality, arts. Embrace your shadow, to achieve the blessings of your totality. Be aware of some inner tension until the end of 2020 and flow with an urge to be more expressive, bold and surprising in love matters.

The most needed crossing of a desert is reaching its peak. You have a meeting with destiny now. Times demand your total commitment with your life purpose and service.

Free from obsolete self-definitions, equivocate perceptions of your true potential and negative past conditioning, you can answer the calling for new responsibilities and expansions that will unfold from 2021 on. Allow yourself to mourn the past, reinforce your soul connection, be open to unexpected opportunities. You will be very active in the 2nd semester of 2020, finishing and polishing your new projects.

Pisces

Spirituality, mysticism, the arts, music, are areas that might have recently engaged your attention in new ways.

Allow your future plans to change, and explore the blessings that larger groups of like-minded people can bring to your life. Take special care with your finances and take seriously new insights on how to monetize your talents.
