Blacksmith Annabelle Bradley at work! Malham Smithy, North Yorkshire UK. Time to make our choices, to forge a strong meaningful future. Melt down, heat up, change shape. Make beauty!
3.19.2020 Note: The current part of this post is now The Crown and Saturn’s sign change into Aquarius March 21 during Aries!!! Please see The Crown chart and info below! I first posted about what I dubbed The Crown in December 2018. Little did I know that by now, we would be dealing with the CoronaVirus pandemic. In Latin, Corona(virus) is Crown. The four planets in the Crown stellium are 1) Mars (infections) is the activator planet of the Crown. 2) Jupiter expands (travels, spreads) 3) Pluto both kills and heals (financial-market). 4) Saturn (quarantines, closings, canceling major events, no work) is the scientist trying to stop it. This is the impending matter Saturn will continue to face as he enters Aquarius, the sign of humanity, March 21.
As of 12.21.19! ONLY 23 MORE DAYS! WE ARE IN IT NOW!
12.21.18 Note: Though more than a year from now, this is an important event, is IN Capricorn, so is especially important to them! If your own Saturn Return (when Saturn comes back to the same place it was when you are born) is happening on or close to Jan 12, 2020, it will likely be the most potent one of your lifetime with Jupiter in Capricorn as well! The conjunction will happen during an uncommon 3 outer planets stellium in Capricorn!
The ASTRO Background & Perspective
There is an extensive sequence of Astro events preceding this important conjunction.
By November 8, 2019, all SIX of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s 2019’s outer planet aspects shall have been formed with Neptune in Pisces! Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune, challenges, stirs up our dreams, makes us face misfortunes. At times we are discouraged, overwhelmed, or Pandora’s box opens and we are over the top with wishes, crazy for believing in such miracles! Yet there it is, we want to try! Be inspired, break free from old fears! Saturn sextile Neptune is a peerless appraiser, even ‘sees’ what is not visible! If he’s behind you, he is determined to get the job done. Inimitable! Forget sleeping in, get up and get going, one step at a time if necessary, but do it! Those SIX aspects finish just before the Nov 11, eleven, eleven Transit of Mercury Eclipse and Nov 19 Jupiter at the Galactic Center. Our Neptune imagination is being primed, tested, found strong and receptive!
These profound events were during Sun in Scorpio, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. The transmissions were taken in deeply, churned like good butter. Since Mercury is mind, Jupiter meaning, we may not witness physical change, especially with such an aspect as exotic and from so far as the Galactic Center, but our Soul didn’t miss a trick! Changes will seem to unfold for no reason and one day we realize there has become a difference.
Sun in Sagittarius thinks them over and the entry of Jupiter into Capricorn is different this time. These special aspects have prepared the way for Jupiter moving into Capricorn Dec 2! That will make 3 outer planets in Capricorn until Saturn enters Aquarius March 31, 2020! Saturn will retrograde back into Capricorn July 1, again, 3 in Capricorn until Saturn goes forward into AQ Dec 16! Jupiter will become a bit cautious, but his robust nature will speed Capricorn up! They are both high mountain lovers, so looks like it’s going to be fun! Jupiter will make the travel plans; Cap will build the lodge! Jupiter quickly sees potential, offers encouragement, gathers the backers. Capricorn is ace at putting the right pieces together with terrific timing. Successful champions! The job comes in early, and the results are impressive! See more about Jupiter in Capricorn!

We are building to the 2020 Super Stellium! 3 outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will all be in Capricorn! New Year’s Day 2020 opens with 5 planets in Capricorn – Mercury conjunct Jupiter and Sun plus Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn! Jan 12, 2020 Saturn makes the exact conjunction, then March 21 is the Crown!
Saturn with Pluto occurs on average every 34 years. The last time Saturn was conjunction Pluto in Capricorn was in January 1518! The conjunction occurs in another Capricorn 5 Planet Stellium. Jupiter stands alone, but Sun, Saturn, Pluto and Mercury, 4 planets, are ALL WITHIN 3 DEGREES of each other, 21 to 23 degrees! Since Pluto has been in Capricorn for some time, having Saturn, Capricorn’s planet there, and now Jupiter too, will certainly amplify the Capricorn factor.
Saturn, the Builder, wants to make sure Pluto in Capricorn, Saturn’s sign, achieves his goals! Saturn takes away blockages, makes sure there is safe passage, presides over the crossroads to help make the best choices. He helps us over the thresholds when we are in doubt. If there is no road, Saturn builds one.
Saturn himself will be changed. He will be cleared while he is with Pluto. Pluto has been watching him coming, scanning to see what needs priority healing. A lot of time is lost on worries and false burdens. Pluto helps him see to let those go. Saturn/Capricorn can be cold in demeanor, literally cold at high altitude, have cold feet! Pluto’s molten Phoenix fires will give him the spirit bath of many lifetimes! Saturn’s heart will be warmed, the burners will be back on! Remember, this aspect hasn’t occurred in Capricorn since 1518. Capricorns with their Suns 20 to 23 Capricorn will have this experience most profoundly! Others who are not Capricorns, but with Capricorn factors in those degrees will be next, have a glimpse of the power of it. The rest of us with factors in other signs, but at those degrees, will have related experiences, be the support team.
Pluto wants to clean up, have power with integrity, make the deepest bonds possible with all Beings. He might take the troublemakers down, could be a major power play, take over! Capricorn is established business and government. If they have not evolved with principles of current time, they are being and about to be further updated. Financially it could be our worst fears, depression-like circumstances. Gird your loins! Put your money in a safe place. Be ready to make bargain investments or help others who are struggling. One of the biggest changes is Saturn could end the fossil (Capricorn) oil (Pluto) trade to bring in more sustainable choices. Saturn is a realist, but when attached to old ways, can be a denier. It will be a challenge. Resources become finite as more people populate the planet. As of Dec 2018 it’s estimated we’re up to 7.7 billion.
This conjunction and the Crown will have prime significance to the Nov 3 2020 Presidential election.
The CROWN! March 21 2020 Saturn is at 29°, the most mature and powerful last degree of a sign, called anaretic, about to leave Capricorn. That 29th degree is not always pat. It’s an ending. If we aren’t ready for it, it is felt as a great loss, something we couldn’t get done, always missed- unfinished business that leaves a longing. Sometimes it feels as if we are at the end of our rope, out of patience, even desperate. There are questions like ‘Did you really do well?’ Capricorn is vulnerable to that question. It is taking its talents with it, but what to do next? There is a sense of urgency because the change is upon us. A great need is felt to do what’s right and do it well. It is a crossroads of a sort, the vital choice to be made determining our future. The three outer planets are in culmination, as close as they will get, 23° CP 03′ to 29° CP 59′, in a 7 degree Stellium!
Peter Novak has studied outer planet stelliums and found that in the last 2000 years, allowing a 5 degree range, there were only 23 three outer planet stelliums! Yes, if he had allowed 7 degrees, there would be more, but still, they are uncommon. I find many events happen just after a significant lineup. And so it is even more likely when slow moving outer planets are involved. It’s like the event is built to full strength, then triggered. Like some say, “what the New Moon promises, the Full Moon delivers!” In this case it could unfold for years, even decades. Take a look at what Ray Grasse has to say.
In this one, however, do-it-now Mars is with them, conjunct Jupiter and Pluto, and all the planets are focused within a 1/3 of the chart in only 5 signs – less distractions, hella potency! Mars conjuncts Jupiter the day before, March 20! He will make things pop right now, big! There will be maximum impetus, like a Rocket! Could be a huge accident – for better or worse, record breaking exploits, a major push into new projects never undertaken before! You have to be there to see the whole Truth! A new journey has begun! There will be no doubt this time!
The energy will be exponential, and it will also take decades to unfold! Those of you with late degree factors in your charts will feel it, believe me. The more factors you have that are activated, the more complex, intense, it will be. The other Earth signs Taurus and Virgo, and water signs Scorpio and Pisces, will put it to good uses. Other cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra, fire signs Leo and Sagittarius, and air signs Gemini and Aquarius, may face powerful challenges. See your astrologer, start planning and preparing now, make it count! It’s a rare opportunity!
As Saturn travels its own sign Capricorn this year, along with Pluto, then starting Dec 2 2019 also with Jupiter, it makes three important connections.
- June 16, 2019 Jupiter squares Neptune. June 18 Saturn sextiles Neptune. Both occur at 18 Capricorn 43.
- Dec 10, 2019 it conjuncts the 2018 Pluto/Ecliptic position 18 Capricorn 58!!
- January 12, 2020 it conjuncts PLUTO at 22 Capricorn 46, on average a 34 year event!
8:39 AM Pacific March 18, 2020! Five planets in Capricorn stellium – three outer planets, Mars and Moon! If you are seeking to build collective action in behalf of our planetary future, try this chart time to initiate it! There will be solidarity. Dreams and intuition will guide us. In Santa Barbara, all those 5 Capricorn planets at the top of the chart are in the 10th section (not partially in the 9th as the chart shows). Be sure to have your astrologer calculate this for your location! Capricorn wants to do business! Mars is kicking the traces, about to go through. Moon will leave within hours after she visits her ‘opposite’ Saturn. Feel it! Saturn will move into Aquarius March 21 just after The Crown chart! Four days to maximize your position! Make it so!

What it all means!
PLUTO
It’s time to forge a new life! Pluto burns deeply within us, molten, Kundalini flaming at core. Fire is always a revolution of some sort, rules to be broken, new ones to rise cleanly in their place!
Pluto is death and destruction, but also the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes! In Capricorn, Saturn’s sign, he is also the demolition expert, crusher, and the extraordinary Builder – remediation, restoration, renovation – better than it was, sustainable! It’s powerful, but it ain’t always easy.
Pluto cleans up the area – reclaims, restores, reuses, repurposes, recycles. It detoxifies waste, disease, poisons, a tarnished Spirit. Pluto searches your Soul for psychic debris, your mind and emotions for negative patterns and clears as much as it can at a time.
Pluto can be immune to being merciful, downright mean and go for the greed. Some of that is out of fear, some was just what it grew up with, or a genetic misery possibly born of past karma. Usually it takes some kind of a revelationary experience, even a near-death experience, to turn the tables. Repeatedly challenging negative behavior can help. Keep asking questions to keep them focused and thinking. One day the water goes over the dam, and it may be something someone else says that finally tips the scales. You must do your part so they can get there even if you personally never see the results.
Pluto is your private personal organs – sexual and eliminatory. Take care of them. Attractions need to be appropriate. If you aren’t happy in your relationship, clean up the mess or get a job and get out, move away if you have to. It can help. The old jealousy gig, a form of ownership and slavery, is no fun for either party. Abusive sex, physical harm and psychological beatings need to be stopped. Respect, appreciation, celebrating you, and spiritual tantric sex are so much sweeter. Get help if you need it, from people who know what to do.
SATURN in his own sign Capricorn has his pure power.
Saturn, unlike Jupiter, is a contraction planet! It makes things smaller, possibly more concentrated and potent. If you are doing micro parts that cool. If it is your paycheck or investments, it could be bankruptcy. There was no inheritance or a pittance, or tied up in court. It makes water into ice. Your house is cold or old. It can make you tired and vulnerable to poor health. You feel old ahead of your time. On the other hand, if we can shrink that tumor, we are so relieved! Keep watch; see how you can turn the tables.
Sometimes Saturn is what is denied, an offer turned down, no job, your manuscript is rejected. Other times it’s the award for your best work, you become the CEO, the project is funded in perpetuity! One way or the other you are likely to have a lot more responsibilities that take time away from your hobbies or family time. Requirements may be more and you may feel pressured by someone in authority. You may need more time to prove yourself, but shows you are steadfast and trustworthy. And, god bless, things break. You gotta fix ’em.
Saturn can bring hardship, prolonged suffering. It can be fear, feeling burdened, guilt, grief, loneliness health matters. Chronic issues wear away at us. Some of us have habitual everything-is-always-bad responses that keep us impotent. If we have addictions, it is hard to see the way. You may not be able to ‘fix’ things on your own. If you can, get some help. Learn some new solutions. Pluto is a profound Shamanic healer. Put yourself in the hands of someone you can’t fool. Does it gain you more to keep your distress – you get attention, etc., even die? Or do you want to heal, get attention for the good things?
Knees, bones, skin, teeth! Saturn climbing knees are strong. He knows when to get down and surrender or stand tall for the honor. His skin might be beautiful in spite of hiking outdoors, skiing. This might be time to take minerals to keep your bones strong. Take good care of your teeth.
If Saturn makes a commitment to you, he will do his very best to stand by it. But if a promise or commitment is outlived by changing times and circumstances, you need to rethink it. If it is one you made, see if it can be renegotiated, in fact, put a clause in the contract that offers that option at intervals. If it is a commitment that was made to you, check in from time to time to see if it has become a burden to that person or still happily viable. If not, thank and release them. That may be a love/marriage contract. Don’t be surprised to see a few breakups of long standing relationships. Saturn and Pluto are both ‘ending’ planets. If you think your relationship needs some work, get to it starting now! It takes time to make people adjustments, especially with this aspect.
Saturn in its highest sense is the High Priest, holy orders, God, the unquestionable ultimate authority! It can be rigid or right…or very wrong. There are power plays, terrible scandals (pedophilia), cruelty to ones who don’t belong or commit sins, mutilations, killings of ones who are hated, interference with indigenous peoples. It can be a sad affair. At the same time, there are extraordinary martyrs who have given their lives for change, sanctuary is granted, forgiveness of magnitude given, comfort for the ill and broken, upliftment that people can live by and become heroes and heroines. There are the regular everyday women and men who encourage and bring food to those housebound. Growth comes slowly, but it comes.
SATURN & PLUTO
Saturn is a realist. Pluto tries to hide sometimes, but there is evidence, one way or the other. Pluto may have been creatively managing the funds, but Saturn and Capricorn are the law and in time will find out. Busted. Working together legitimately they can build secure funds from an incredibly small start. Capricorn watches cycles. Pluto listens well and can tell when there are possibilities. Have a third party come in randomly from time to time to check the books.
Saturn may bind and blind certain channels shut. Pluto might go down for the count, but he is a dark planet, can see any light there is and rise up! He isn’t afraid of death, so keeps right on functioning well in spite of threat or major losses. If Pluto has been misbehaving, Saturn will help him slow down, make corrections, save the day.
Saturn may use his upstanding reputation in your behalf or to smirch or steal your reputation. This can be hard to overcome. Sometimes you wait until their true self is revealed, or you move far, far away and start over. If instead, he’s there to help you, thank the stars!
Keep yourself clean in body, mind and Spirit during this time. Stay with your integrity and morality. Avoid chancy behavior no matter how curious you are about what might happen and you just want to see. This time there could be more serious consequences. Keep your security systems working well.
Be in a safe place. People who are hurting from hate are likely to be triggered around this time. Just don’t be there.
Socially, economically, politically, there will be some far reaching events in the news. They have either been long in the making, or will take long to make. There will be bad news and good news. Social Security and Medicare could come up. Fossil fuel. Political exposé. Protests against big business. Hate crimes. There will be stories of life saving, incredible healing, cures, amazing lifetime accomplishments.
Some are extremely predicting the end of the world, government as we now know it at least. This aspect happens on average every 34 years. Powerful change is afoot. There are serious unravelings of systems in the nature of the signs the conjunctions are in… This one precedes the Nov 3 2020 Presidential Election. Issues in January and March 2020 will play strongly then. The election precedes Jupiter conjunct Pluto, the final time, Nov 12. Jupiter is a great optimist and planner. What Saturn starts, Jupiter will finesse with super plans! The winning candidate may promise much better times to come, transparency. Jupiter can be a great liar, and/or wants the whole Truth, so look strongly to their track record. Pluto may be disarmed by Jupiter’s big smile and disclose some whoppers! Or maybe it’s just finally time. Revelation – and it’s big.
This is an uncommon aspect in Capricorn! BWGoddard says: ‘And maybe there’s another possibility, if you consider this: the last time there was a Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn was in January 1518, 2 months after Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg and began the Protestant Revolution.’ Imagine how much thought went into and how long it took, to write those theses! 95!
