2020 Saturn-Pluto Conjunction in Capricorn

The highly anticipated and feared Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter conjunction of January 2020 was a profoundly significant astrological event that garnered immense interest and sparked extensive discussions among astrologers and occultists. This extraordinary conjunction unfolded within the sign of Capricorn, involving Saturn and Pluto, both positioned at 22° Capricorn 46', and it took place on January 12th, 2020, in the Northern Hemisphere. Remarkably, only five similar conjunctions have occurred since 5000 BCE, with the closest precedent dating back to the year 3838 BCE. The year 1518 marked the most recent occurrence of such a conjunction in Capricorn, exhibiting somewhat similar planetary configurations. During the most recent event of January 2020, the Sun occupied 21° Capricorn, while Mercury was situated at 23° Capricorn, flanking either side of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22° Capricorn. Furthermore, Jupiter, although not in close proximity to the conjunction degree, shared the same zodiacal sign of Capricorn, aligning it ( loosely) with the other celestial bodies involved. Notably, the Lunar Eclipse that transpired on the 10th of January took place at the axis of 20° Cancer/20° Capricorn, positioned directly in the midst of the conjunction/opposition degrees.

Here's a summary of some key points astrologers wrote about this conjunction:

Extremely Rare Alignment: Astrologers highlighted that the conjunction of Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter was a rare celestial alignment that hadn't occurred in several decades. Its rarity indicated the potential for significant global and personal transformation.

Transformation and Power: Many astrologers associated this conjunction with themes of transformation, regeneration, and the use of power. They anticipated that it would bring profound changes on both individual and societal levels.

Structural Shifts: The influence of Saturn was seen as bringing attention to established structures, institutions, and systems. Some astrologers predicted that these structures would undergo a restructuring or even a dismantling to make way for new ones.

Intensification of World Events: There was consensus among astrologers that the conjunction would coincide with intense and transformative events on the world stage. Some mentioned geopolitical tensions, economic shifts, and power struggles as potential manifestations.

Economic Impact: Many astrologers discussed the potential economic impact of this conjunction, suggesting that it could be associated with financial challenges, recessions, or shifts in global markets.

Personal Growth and Evolution: On a personal level, astrologers emphasised that this alignment could inspire deep personal growth, inner transformation, and the shedding of old patterns and beliefs.

Collective Awakening: Some astrologers saw this conjunction as a catalyst for collective awakening, pushing individuals and societies to confront uncomfortable truths and make necessary changes.

Environmental Concerns: A few astrologers pointed to the possibility that this alignment would draw attention to environmental issues and the need for ecological transformation.

Intensified Ideologies: There were discussions about the intensification of political ideologies and movements, with the potential for both radical shifts and consolidation of power.

Karmic Influences: Astrologers also mentioned the karmic undertones of this conjunction, suggesting that it would bring about a reckoning with past actions and decisions.

Possibility of global wars: Given the historical association of Saturn-Pluto conjunctions with major global conflicts, there was concern about the possibility of war or heightened international tensions.

Pandemic: In light of the conjunction's association with profound transformation, and the subsequent 'Great Conjunction event of Dec 2020' that was scheduled to occur in the same year (historically, great conjunctions in air signs have been linked with plague events and air-borne pandemics) raised potential for significant health crises, including the emergence of a pandemic for some astrologers.
