SUN IN TAURUS TRINE JUPITER/PLUTO CONJUNCTION

In our Sun in Taurus Astrology post on April 20, 2020, we discussed the challenging aspects of Saturn and Uranus to those with their Sun sign in the early degrees of Taurus.  In this post we will look at the more fortunate aspects taking place with those who have their Sun in Taurus in the later degrees. 

Jupiter will be in a powerful and tight conjunction to Pluto from mid March to late December of 2020.  They meet up several times during this time frame (late March-into April, late June into July, and most of November).  These are dates when the conjunction is within 2degrees or less of being direct.

Pluto is the most powerful of the two planets involved but Jupiter will magnify or increase Pluto’s energies and add optimism, positivity, and growth into the equation.  Pluto demands change and often presents itself through transformation and the regeneration of anything that needs to reach a form of death which in turn makes room for an eventual rebirth.  The term death of course is rather dynamic but what it does speak of is the ending of conditions in order for something more appropriate to take its place.

Both of these planets are moving through the sign of Capricorn and the most prominent degree is between the 22 to 25 degree periods.  If your Sun is in Taurus or Virgo within three to five degrees of this positioning, you will be experiencing the trine between these two planets and your Sun.  The areas of life will be directly linked to the houses involved but Capricorn often has to do with business and the desire for security and structure.

Trines are favourable aspects and often indicate easy flow and opportunities for good luck and growth.  You can certainly expect that transformations are in place and the way things were prior to this time will significantly change after this influence is over.  This is related not only to the placement of these dynamic interactions but also due to the pandemic in our world at this time.

Mundane Astrology can be used currently with any country and its leader during this conjunction of these two energies but of course the chart itself would have to be delineated along with its leader. 

On a personal note, you will have to look deep into your own chart as well as any other transits and progressions at this time.  A solar chart will provide you with confirmation and a deeper reflective look at what will unfold over this upcoming year.

In many cases, this can bring about positive changes as well as disruptive energies to many of us on some level.  Take into considerations all the outer transiting planets to your own chart as well as close pertinent aspects from the progressions. 

The beauty of Astrology is it points the way and then we can utilize the energies to assist us in our journey.  Astrology can assist us in evaluating what route might be the best to follow.

INNER PLANETS IN TRANSIT

When we refer to the transits of the inner planets, this would include the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. These planets and the Sun’s influence are often of minor significance as they pass quickly through the heavens and their energies are short lived. An inner planet moving in direct motion (without retreating in its retrograde cycle) can have an effect for as long as there are other factors making connection to the inner planet at the same time which can be maybe eight days. Mars and Venus specifically can last as much as 6-8 days depending on the orb of influence we allow.

In general, transits from the more influential outer planets can be felt for up to 5-7 degrees approaching, some people are even sensitive to their influence before the 7 degrees approach. The energies are in force as much as 2-3 degrees when the energies are separating. The orbs are about the same or a little less with inner planetary transits. Mercury, Venus, Mars and the Sun move approximately one degree per day.

The Sun and Mars, however, are often used as timers in Astrology and can set off an outer planetary transit while in orb which can be quite impacting. (The progressed Moon and especially transiting Uranus also speak of timing of events.)

I personally knew someone who had transiting Pluto in opposition to natal Uranus which was in the seventh house and at the same time they had transiting Mars directly in conjunction with Pluto which were also conjunct their natal Mercury. This individual experienced the death of someone very close to them.  Proof that transiting Mars played a big part in this unfolding story.  This is certainly not to say that Mars and Pluto together indicate death, but they a powerful combination and an energy source.  Under most conditions there is arguments, power struggles and aggressive action.

Mercury on its own will have little impact while in transit as it needs to pick up energies from other planets in the chart to even be felt. Venus and Mars have a stronger influence, particularly Mars, although they are more noticeable when they are making a conjunction, square or opposition to a planet or angle in the birth chart than when they are making the sextile and trine.

However, when an inner planet go into retrograde, it can pass over the same degree in a natal chart more than once and will have a much more pronounced energy.  The energies of each planet, the house position and also aspects that are within the natal chart will all need to be identified before making final conclusions however.

TESTING GROUND

We can stay focused and on course with our higher objectives no matter what the circumstances.  This is the true test of our path.  These circumstances only serve to verify our true potential, strength and resolve.

Life IS a classroom or testing ground, if you will.  It is important to adjust our mental attitude during life’s lessons and continually adapt in ways to help facilitate our necessary growth.  We can not only navigate through any ground breaking experiences, but we can also grow immensely from the experiences.  Once the lesson is complete, our life experience is enriched from the lesson learned.

We are strong.......beyond our comprehension.  We are capable of not only managing but flourishing as a result of any life event.  We have more than enough strength to grow from these lessons and to also motivate others to help themselves when they too are experiencing more challenging periods in their lives.  There are many who are not aware of or do not believe in their own inner strength.  Through our example we can assist those that would appreciate help in understanding the experiences being presented to them.

Many of us continue to awaken to our own potential.  Once we learn that our abilities are ingrained, we learn to call upon our gifts any time we need to use them.  These gifts and abilities are always at our disposal and the only thing that holds us back is our own recognition of and faith in our abilities.  We are our own greatest obstacle.  Release your self doubt and you remove these obstacles.

Life is a continual lesson.  Life is a testing ground of our faith.  Many lessons are best learned from a physical level of understanding.  Remember that you are spirit having an earthly experience and capable of anything.

TRANSITING PLUTO SEXTILE NATAL VENUS

As Pluto makes its way through the natal chart and touches other planets and angles, its energies regenerate and challenge anything in place and whatever needs revamping.  Its energies are not subtle in nature although often not recognizable in the beginning. 

Pluto moves slowly through the natal chart at about one degree each year.  If it goes retrograde over a particular area in the chart, it can have profound effects and usually the final pass will produce the most powerful results.

Pluto often puts an end to conditions in order for something new to begin.  It is a death of sorts and then a seed is planted, and a new sprout begins to grow.  Its effects are long lasting and sometimes we do not fully understand what has taken place for up to two years after the initial impact.

Venus has to do with love and affection and sometimes is also connected to the financial conditions.  Venus is very favourable and often speaks of love affairs and in some cases speaks of a young woman.  Venus looks to discover tranquil and serene conditions. 

When transiting Pluto makes a sextile to the natal positioning of Venus it offers opportunities for transformation or regeneration of love and affection.  This is often connected to someone of importance to you. 

Pluto may have been trying to tell you that there is an occasion to promote change and direct your life in a more appropriate direction that more suits your ongoing growth and evolution.  There can also be strong sexual attractions.  In many cases there are no halfway measures about what this change may deliver, but you may still have to do the work.

If this aspect happens to be speaking about your finances, the time may be ripe to receive a lump sum of money or a significant financial upsurge.   The area of life which is connected can be found through the placement of transiting Pluto and natal Venus, and we should also have a look at the natal position of Pluto as this will give you more insight into how this might unfold.  It is important to remember that sextile are opportunity aspects and, in many cases, if we do not push ahead under their influence, we may be squandering the opportunity.

Do not sit back when this energy is at hand.

LOVE AND LIGHT

How important is our personal expression to the world? 

We can speak words of encouragement to others and give inspiring messages that stimulate others to push forward.  We can challenge others to push through any adversities. 

Our greatest message is communicated through love and example.  We can be the light that illuminates these examples.

Will your example to this world soften hardened hearts?

Does your influence touch those less fortunate and give them hope?

INNER PLANETS IN TRANSIT

When we refer to the transits of the inner planets, this would include the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. These planets and the Sun’s influence are often of minor significance as these celestial bodies pass quickly through the heavens and their energies are short lived.

Venus and Mars have a stronger influence, particularly Mars, although they are more noticeable when they are making a conjunction, square or opposition to a planet or angle in the birth chart than when they are making the sextile and trine.

When the inner planets go into retrograde however they can again pass over the same degree in a natal chart and have a much more profound effect.  The energies of each planet, the house position and the aspects that are within the natal chart will all need to be identified and examined before making a final analysis.

Second Read of Transiting Pluto/Saturn Conjunction

Holm Astrology posted this aspect description on October 4, 2019 and it clearly sets out our current situation.  We thought it was certainly worth the repost.

TRANSITING PLUTO/SATURN CONJUNCTION

We have a very powerful conjunction coming together between transiting Pluto and transiting Saturn.  These two planets will conjunct one another directly in January of 2020 but have been in force off and on throughout 2019.  The transiting conjunction will complete its cycle by approximately March of 2020.  Both Planets are in the sign of Capricorn which often pointing towards power struggles and leadership especially related to business and enterprise.

Remember, this is a world-wide event affecting everyone at the same time.  This could deal with politics and governmental institutions and speaks of challenging conditions causing great disruption and upheaval.  On a world scale, we can see this beginning to take place particularly in the United States with the political turmoil taking hold as this is being written.

On a personal level, we will need to see what house this conjunction falls in as well as any other planetary influence in the natal chart being affected by this conjunction.  The houses involved define areas of life while the planets from the natal chart define the energies involved.

Saturn often speaks of discipline and restrictions in place and also has to do with delays, obstruction and people in positions of authority.  Pluto speaks of disruptions and power struggles and major transformations that take hold.  The energies of Pluto can be disruptive but are often in place to produce a much needed change of direction.  Pluto tends to tear down structures and then rebuild from the ruins.  Its energies put an end to conditions so that something new and more beneficial can be built.

Saying that the energies of these two giants are intrusive and challenging is undermining the powerful influence that these planets can have on our lives.  Words cannot express clearly how powerful these planets together can be.  However, although intrusive and chaotic in nature during the change, they do build on creating a solid foundation that over time will stand the test of time and build resilience. 

Saturn is the teacher and the disciplinarian, and Pluto dictates and removes that which has become stagnant and no longer serves a viable purpose.  Pluto’s action is finite and uncovers anything that needs to surface so that it can be dealt with accordingly.  What once was, no longer will be.

It will be interesting to see how these two energies link together and what the final outcome will be.  We, as individuals, will need to address what has been in place and find ways to rebuild on a more structured and solid foundation.  Above all else, we must learn from the experience. 

Interesting to say the least.  Astrology is an amazing tool.
