CORONAVIRUS – Covid-19
pluto and saturn in transit conjunct
Saturn, called the great malefic by ancient astrologers, when making a difficult aspect (conjunction, square, opposition)) brings problems, difficulties and bad luck of a restrictive nature.
Pluto is a dark planet. It is the higher octave of Mars (called the small malefic by ancient astrologers) and brings destruction of a transformational nature.
Pluto is associated with microbes and viruses.
The combination of Saturn and Pluto in conjunction, square or opposition in transit will bring very unfortunate events of a restrictive and destructive nature.
Pluto is the higher octave of Mars. Mars was called the small malefic by ancient astrologer. Mars was also the God of War in Antiquity. War was bringing destruction. Pluto being the higher octave of Mars is also associated with war but where Mars is associated with conventional war, Pluto is associated with nuclear war which is far more destructive than conventional war. Pluto is also associated with microbes and viruses. Pluto, in its inharmonious aspects has a way more powerful impact then Mars in its inharmonious aspects. It is therefore not surprising that Pluto combined with Saturn (the great malefic) in their combined inharmonious aspects brings way more unfortunate life events, life evolution, personal evolution than just Saturn’s inharmonious aspects alone or even Mars and Saturn combined inharmonious aspects. And when you have the three together making inharmonious aspects, you have a culmination of the unfortunate time.
the virus appears
The chart below shows the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in transit.
The two planets started to be in close conjunction from the very end of 2019 and in exact conjunction on January 13th-14th.
Transiting Saturn and Pluto
conjunct
The exact conjunction happens on January 13th-14th but the planets had already been in conjunction for some time before that date. Meaning that the combination of Pluto and Saturn conjunct had already been effective and producing its effects for some time before January. That is consistent with the findings of Chinese health authorities and Italian researchers that the virus was already circulating as early as November 2019.
The conjunction, the most powerful of all aspects between planets, is bringing together Saturn and Pluto acting as one merged entity. Pluto gives power to Saturn and in reverse Saturn brings lethality to Pluto. The destruction (Pluto) is lethal, the virus is deadly. The restrictions and unfortunate events (Saturn), with an intrinsic deadly potential (Saturn-House 8), are powerful, even more powerful as Saturn is in Capricorn, its own sign, dignified, where its power is exprssing itself in the most powrrful manner .
But it is not yet widespread, global and globally public as Jupiter (expansion) has not joined them yet. So it remains localised.
From individual charts’ perspective, meaning for many people already, the difficulties from that conjunction had already started for some time as the two planets had already been in conjunction, but not exact conjunction, throughout 2019.
February – The Virus expands – worldwide
Pluto and Saturn still in transit conjunction
and now, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, joins them in transit conjunction
February
Jupiter is joining Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter
in conjunction
Mid-February 2020.
Jupiter had joined Saturn and Pluto in transit conjunction.
This was when the Virus started to expand between countries, the start of the pandemic. Jupiter is the planet of expansion. It is also governing over House 9, the foreign matters. So when Jupiter joins, the expansion becomes global across countries. It becomes a worldwide pandemic.
This is also when the pandemic started to be known worldwide, Jupiter is the planet of publishing. The information about a worldwide epidemic fully became public.
That expansion effect also applies to Saturn and Pluto themselves as Jupiter conjuncts them. By doing so it does expands the effect of Saturn and Pluto making matters worse and expanding the powerful (Pluto) fear (Saturn) globally. And in reverse, Pluto and Saturn affect Jupiter in a powerful manner (the conjunction) bringing destruction/transformation (Pluto) and restrictions (Saturn) to what Jupiter rules over such as airlines (long journeys travel) and globalisation (expansion over foreign lands).
March – Actions are taken – worldwide
Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter in conjunction
and now, Mars, the action planet, joins them in conjunction – Actions are taken to fight the virus
March
Mars joining Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter
in conjunction
Mid-March 2020.
Mars joined Saturn and Pluto in transit conjunction within a few degrees, all three conjunct Jupiter in conjunction. This was when the travel restrictions between countries were curbed or halted in almost all countries in the world.
Mars is the action planet. Actions around the world had started to be taken to fight (Mars!) the virus, the epidemic. March is the month when countries around the world started to implement lockdowns.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion but also the planet of long journeys (House 9 lord). Typically travelling between countries is a long journey trip, ruled by Jupiter. So here you can the restrictive (Saturn) effect of Saturn, given power by Pluto (power planet) and joined by Mars, on Jupiter when conjunct it. Pluto brings, as mentioned, destruction. Jupiter ruling long journeys is the ruler of the aviation industry which is being completely destroyed (Pluto) by the global curb and halt of plane trips, even domestically for some countries, with most airlines slashing their long haul and short haul capacity.
May – Deaths peak – worldwide
Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter in conjunction
Jupiter and Saturn turn Retrograde – maximum effect – still conjunct Pluto
The pandemic is at its peak, a peak in the number of deaths
May
Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto turn Retrograde
still conjunct
May.
Jupiter and Saturn are turning retrograde mid-May and are stationary for a big part of the month. Their effect is then at its maximum. The number of deaths reaches a peak. The pandemic is at a peak. Pluto turned retrograde at the beginning of May.
As Jupiter becomes stationary in May, its effect is at its maximum, expanding the effect of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction to its maximum. From then on, as the planets have turned Retrograde, they do not express their full and active power in the outer world anymore, their energy is turned inward and the effect of their conjunction will start to quiet down. From that peak in May, the deaths, the destruction, the restrictions, everything that the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto brought will start to lessen. The number of deaths will progressively come down, the destruction will progressively abate, the restrictions will progressively be lifted.
But the effect of the conjunction doesn’t go away, it just quiets down.
Until the planets go Direct again, as they were before May.
Jupiter goes direct mid-September, Saturn in the very last days of September and Pluto in the very first days of October.
Then as they are still in conjunction, turning direct again, their effect, the effect of their conjunction will be felt again in the outer world bringing a second pandemic wave
september – second pandemic wave
Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter still in conjunction
End of the retrograde period – maximum effect again
Second pandemic wave – second peak
Mid-September
Jupiter ends its retrograde period, is stationary
Last days of September
Saturn ends its retrograde period, is stationary
September.
Jupiter ends its retrograde period and turns direct again mid-September.
Saturn ends its retrograde period and turns direct again in the very last days of September.
Pluto ends its retrograde period and turns direct again in the very first days of October.
The three planets are still in conjunction, the Pluto and Saturn conjunction is still active and as the planets turn direct again, their effect in the outer world is fully felt again.
As Jupiter becomes stationary in September, as it ends its retrograde period and turn direct, its effect is at a maximum, expanding the effect of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction to its maximum.
The second pandemic wave is at another peak. Expect another peak in the number of death, the destructions and restrictions will be back.
From then on, as all three planets are direct again, as they were before May, their effect will still be felt but not as strongly as around the time of them turning Retrograde (April-May-June & August-September-October). Their effect will progressively abate so will the deaths, destructions, restrictions. Not until the beginning of 2021, will the effect of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction fully go away as the conjunction of the planets ends.
ascending phase – peak – descending phase
first stationary period – second stationary period
first wave – second wave
The effect of the planets conjunction increases as the planets approach their retrograde point. In the month, two months prior to the retrograde date (start and end of the retrograde period), as the planets in transit slow down and will soon become stationary, their effect increases in power. That is then when you see the problems brought by the conjunction of the planets (the destruction from Pluto, the restrictions, and fear, from Saturn, the expansion from Jupiter) being in an ascending phase.
In the period around the retrograde point, when they are stationary, their power is at a maximum.
Once the retrograde point has passed, the descending phase starts.
Here with the Coronavirus-Covid-19, from a non-personal perspective, that is from a world perspective and not each individual’s perspective, the destructions clearly are related to the fallout of the pandemic from an economic perspective, the restrictions are linked to the effect and consequences of the lockdowns.
