This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on December 26, 2019, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Finally the Saturn / Pluto conjunction
That’s it, the Conjunction that has been set up as a backdrop for the last few months between Saturn and Pluto is now still taking place in Capricorn, on the beginning of the 3rd decan of this sign, it’s a very important generational aspect, the previous one had taken place in 1982 at the end of Libra, 37 years ago and in quadrature to the current aspect…
They are 2 heavyweights that meet here and that can be quite delicate in their expression, where Pluto is the planet always asks for a form of “death / rebirth”, it forces to abandon parts of us that are no longer useful, to let go, to give up, and Saturn forces a maturity, a structuring, a crystallization even sometimes (I invite you to read my article on the important medium-term transits at work in Capricorn).
Of course, it is not very light transits that are at work here, but on the positive side they can be very transforming, they can create and accompany the necessary radical change, sometimes that one cannot achieve by oneself, here it happens by the force of things… The planet pluto comes somehow to raise things, or rather to bring them to the surface, while Saturn can bring the coldness, introspection, the patience necessary to deal with them.
Having said that, Capricorn is also highly valued by the very recent entry of Jupiter the Great Beneficial (1st decan), the current New Moon forming direct conjunction with it, so we can think a little that the planet comes to bring you a form of recognition for all the reforms and changes that you have been able to undertake in recent years…
Jupiter is somewhat there to crown the completion of the reforms you have followed, the sacrifices you have been able to make and to bring you now the reward for your patience, for your undertakings, including possibly quite inflationary ones.
We can also see the southern node which is mixed with this conjunction, which confirms different forms of connections with the past that can be at work with these energies, Jupiter coming to “assimilate” a bit the different parts that may have been destroyed by the successive Pluto and Saturn transits more recently but to build, to expand even (the notion of enlargement, expansion), to radiate, even to reach other stages of consciousness, other spiritual realities, other life philosophies.
In this current sky, there can be a big gap between all the 1st decans, for whom everything seems to be going well, who can have great achievements, personal, social, and on the other hand, all the 3rd decans for whom things seem enormously more complex to manage, who have a powerful and stirring work to do…
It is especially the Cardinal signs that are impacted by these energies in the medium term (thus also Aries, Cancer, Libra), but we also find the square Black Moon Pisces to Sagittarius Mercury, acting in the shorter term, always on the 3rd decans and can create a lot of mental confusion, the fact for example of getting lost in illusions, in the fact of cutting oneself off from certain parts of reality, from what one does not want to see in one’s present…
Even Mars touches the 3rd decan of Scorpio, which is rather positive since if a lot is asked for this decan, it will have bubbling energy to put it in place !
The full moon of January 10, 2020, will directly underline the Saturn / Pluto conjunction with Mercury, paradoxically the energies will be less tense, Venus will have reached the 3rd decan of Aquarius and may bring a kind of balm to their heart…
Note, Mars’ breakthrough in Sagittarius, this planet will be an important triggering factor for Capricorn transits in the near future, it is here in its starting blocks…
