The so-called transits in astrology function as big alarm clocks for our little lives and they present us with enormous challenges as humanity.
If we follow the precept that as above, so below, the planets in motion and the dialogue that develops between them, will mark for our human lives the melody that we will have to tune according to their passage.
In this way, if we look at the sky and vibrate with it, we will begin to understand or at least it will be easier for us to flow with the learning that comes our way.both in our individual lives and thinking collectively.
We come from troubled times, where uncertainty and fear have taken center stage. Times when death resounded with force, and where all those structures that provided us with security one by one began to shake.
Without a doubt, 2020 hit us so hard that it is difficult to think that anyone has emerged intact from such a movement. It is that in the sky the main star was Pluto, and the so-called great conjunction that it formed with Saturn and Jupiter.
Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter: the protagonists that must be deciphered
Before continuing with the story, it is worth introducing the actors.
Pluto
Pluto represents in astrology the energy linked to the Scorpio, Pluto is death and transformation. Pluto releases energy through destruction. It is the volcano that with all the force of its lava devastates the earth, to then leave it more fertile and that a new, transformed life can then emerge, freed from all that energy that was contained. Pluto kills, but also heals, and in that pain he makes us connect with all the power of being incarnated. Pluto is control and it is also omnipotence. He is the slowest of all, the one that is furthest away, and therefore it takes our consciences many times more than a lifetime to integrate.
Saturn
Saturn for its part represents time, limits and forms. With Saturn we structure our reality. Through Saturn we shape our lives and manage to sustain ourselves. We can associate it with Capricorn energy, and therefore it also represents the archetypal energy of the father, and of authority figures. Saturn in its path confronts us with harsh reality and often places a restriction on us so that we can take charge of our own lives and mature.
Jupiter
Finally we come to Jupiter, the great teacher, the one who connects us with our beliefs and philosophies of life. The one who looks for what and connects with his ideals. Ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter in his path enlarges and magnifies what he finds, while asking us to deeply connect with what gives meaning to our lives.
2020: a dramatic melody marked by the appointment of Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter with Capricorn
Presented the stars of this great film that we call life, you can imagine the plot when these three giants met in Capricorn. That was the energy that marked our 2020, it is enough to remember the events that hit us worldwide and review our personal lives, to be able to see how these three planets together put color in a year where we broke up, where we touched the pain and where the safe flew through the air. A year where we thoroughly question our structures and rethink our beliefs, where Capricorn and Saturn hurt. Where we saw head-on, how much we had invested outside and what we found when we stayed inside.
Sometimes, for a new form to emerge, it is necessary to touch the shadow, it has to hurt, you have to cut the root, stay raw and change the skin. If we go back to the analogy of the melodies, then, in 2020, the music that played was dramatic, intense, the deepest scene of the phantom of the opera. And yet let us be certain that It is the music that we needed as humanity to begin to inhabit the possibility that something new needs to emerge, that there are forms that we can no longer sustain.
From time to time, a dramatic melody is the alarm clock we need to connect with the miracle of being alive.
2021: an electric and creative rhythm marked by Uranus in its dialogue with Saturn
But the bells of a new year rang, and a new tune was tuned to our dial. The music now is electric, changing and creative. A mixture of rhythms and styles, a song by Freddy Mercury. Because the time has come to introduce our new actor, this time the leading man takes him Uranus and its dialogue with Saturn.
uranus is lightning, it is the unpredictable and creative. Uranus frees us from the utopia of control. Associated with Aquarian energy, Uranus is the new, the innovation, what has not yet been invented and has no form. Uranus is fast and appears without warning, it is the unexpected, it is the contact with the most authentic and creative part of oneself. It is liberation from forms and structures. He is the madman and the revolutionary.
Uranus is spending a season in Taurusand from there he has turned the little bulls upside down, and he has been showing us all that we are part of a great universe, that we must rethink and re-evolve our relationship with the earth and with matter. Uranus entered Taurus in May 2018 and since then it has been showing us what we have to incorporate as humanity. Another clear mark of the entry of Uranus into Taurus is the boom of electronic wallets, definitively changing our relationship with money.
2021: a tussle between the new and the old
Returning to 2021, and to the music that has been playing this year, the focus is on the dialogue, or said in astrological terms, on the square that is formed between Uranus, the crazy and creative, and Saturn, the form and time.
The square is an aspect of tension, where two opposite forms creak in order to achieve integration. The fight this time is given between the old and the new. Between continuing to support old structures and the new forms that emerge with full force without calculations or advance notice. They are top-down structures against a new cooperative way of doing things. Uranus is crying out, and if necessary he will strike with all the intensity of lightning for us to wake up to a new consciousness, a more comprehensive one, one where we all put our grain of sand.
Since the sky is perfect, the entry of Saturn and Jupiter into the sign of Aquarius last December was the trailer for the movie that we are all already watching. Back, and matured, the Capricornian energy should have been left, to give way to the Aquarian quality that asks us to look for more creative, free and innovative ways of thinking of ourselves as a society.
The change is imminent and urgent, but it is still very immature and the forms it takes are still a mystery, for us mere mortals. Aquarius and Uranus represent the new, that which has not yet been invented, and therefore are very difficult to predict. However, for sure we can have that we are in times where it will become increasingly difficult for us to sustain the old, a new world is in the air, about which we still know little or nothing.
2021: 3 key dates
This square that we have been talking about will have three key dates during the year, where perhaps we can see more clearly what the thing is about. The first took place on February 17the second will be given on June 14 and finally, the third will take place on Dec. 24 of 2021.
New ways of living, thinking and relating
The new is already going strong, allowing ourselves to think differently is becoming possible, imagining living far from the city is no longer a dream, being a digital nomad today is not just for a few. Questioning our lifestyle, committing ourselves to the land that allows us to breathe every day is no longer just a fashion, living in a more integrated way and in a community begins to be a way out.
Women who unite and stop looking at each other as competitionand so I could continue with the list of examples. No doubt many signs that something new is emerging. And so everything, still the old tries to remain current, we can continue to see authoritarian figures who seek to centralize power, and even we often want to continue rooting ourselves in our old ways of doing and thinking about things. All change takes a process, and these three squares will show the tension that is generated when it comes to breaking forms and creating new ones.
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius: the most affected
Going back to our human lives, the signs that will personally feel this tension the strongest are the so-called fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. If you belong to any of them, or if you have a Moon or Ascendant, or some other planet in these signs, it is there that the great learning will be requested of you.
For everyone, wherever these signs are located in our chart, that is, in the houses where they live, is where we can see more forcefully what these transiting planets are asking of us. In the area of our lives, Uranus will be asking for freedom and creativity or in what scenario, across the border, Saturn will be imploring us to connect with reality and mature into a personality that is more responsible for its own existence.
