As far as I can tell, the much discussed celestial visitor 3I/ATLAS reached perihelion at 6:47pm Jakarta time on October 29th 2025. At this time it was in 23°40' of Libra and too close to the Sun for observation from Earth. Figure 1 shows a chart for the aforementioned date and time.
Figure 1
The Moon Pluto conjunction in early Aquarius stands out here. Grok thought for 9 minutes and 15 seconds to find when the conjunction with the Sun will or did occur. There were many gruelling calculations involved but here is the result of the query:
The comet 3I/ATLAS reached exact conjunction with the Sun on July 21st 2025, at 11:12 UTC. This conjunction of celestial longitudes occurred at 28 degrees 36 minutes in Cancer in the tropical zodiac. At this time, the celestial latitude of 3I/ATLAS was -1 degrees 33 minutes.
Figure 2 shows the chart drawn up for Jakarta at the time of this conjunction (9:12am on July 21st 2025).
Figure 2
As can be seen, there is a very powerful square between Mars and Venus involved the Ascendant and MC. This YouTuber proposes a slightly different chart for the perhelion. See Figure 3. This person also mentioned that the object's closet approach to Earth will occur on December 19th. 2025.
She got this chart off Stefan Burns whom I'm subcribed to on YouTube. On his channel he references theskylive.com that offers a good view of 3I/ATLAS relative to to the solar system. See Figure 4.
Well, the time has come ... almost. On May 25th, transiting Saturn will enter Aries but before that Pluto will turn retrograde in Aquarius on May 5th. However, it will not reenter Capricorn but station in 1°22' on October 13th 2025 before moving forward again. This retrograde period will probably see a renewed resistance on the part of governments and the ruling elite to the societal transformations that Pluto is stimulating before this resistance weakens in the face of Pluto's renewed forward momentum after mid-October.
The entry of Saturn into Aries and its conjunction with Neptune will also dampen the fiery (Aries) idealism (Neptune) driving societal change as more control mechanisms are put into place. Ultimately, Neptune will dissolve the boundaries that Saturn will try to impose but there may be considerable repression in the short term. Remember that Neptune will spend far longer than Saturn in the sign of Aries. Unlike Pluto, transiting Saturn will later retrograde and reenter Pisces on September 2nd 2025. It will return to Aries on February 14th 2026.
I was watching a YouTube video titled Eclipses, Red Cows And The Apocalypse by World Astrology Report which is quite a good channel for Mundane Astrology news. The coming solar eclipse will occur at 1:20am, Jakarta time, on April 9th 2024. Figure 1 shows a chart drawn up for that moment in Jakarta. The conjunction of Sun and Moon will occur in 19°23' of Aries.
Figure 1
The video makes reference to NASA's eclipse website that features two interesting charts showing the path of the forthcoming eclipse across North America as well as the path of the previous annular eclipse that occurred on October 14th 2023. The paths intersect at San Antonio in Texas. See Figures 2 and 3. Saint Anthony of Padua was Saint Francis of Assisi's most famous follower. For more information follow this Wikipedia link.
The video makes the point that the five red heifers, that are currently in Israel and due to be sacrificed at Passover on the Mount of Olives within sight of the Al Aqsa mosque, came from Texas. The Passover holiday begins before sundown on Monday, April 22, 2024, and ends after nightfall on April 30, 2024. The Hamas attack on Israel began on October 7th 2023, a week before the annular eclipse.
The presenter in the video sees the conjunction of Mars and Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus at the time of the eclipse to be a potential portent of a holy war which would certainly break out if any attempt was made to demolish the Al Aqsa mosque. It can be noted that Chiron is in 19°24' of Aries at the time of the eclipse. See Figure 4 detail.
Figure 4
Texas is also currently ground zero for the entry of illegal immigrants into the United States so April promises to be an interesting month. The eclipse will last for about two and a half hours and the presenter in the video makes reference to Ptolemy who stated that effects of an eclipse can be felt for an amount of time in years equivalent to the eclipse's duration in hours. Thus the effects may be felt for up to two and half years afterwards which take us into late 2027. On April 21st, Jupiter and Uranus will be exactly conjunct in around 21°40' of Taurus.
After years of running Astrolog under WINE on my Mac laptop, I suddenly find myself without it. The reason is that I installed Chrome OS Flex on the laptop and removed the Macintosh operating system. This OS is still in beta and there are numerous glitches. One of them is an inability to install Linux, after which I could install WINE and then run Astrolog.
On my granddaughter's laptop, I removed the Windows operating system that was capable of running astrolog.exe directly and replace it with Ubuntu. Again, I'm having trouble installing WINE, so the net result is that I can't run Astrolog on either laptop for the moment. I'll have to rely on online programs to keep track of my transits.
However, the Astrolog website links to openastro.org that has an Ubuntu repository that I'm keen to test out. Figure 1 shows a screenshot.
Figure 1
Unfortunately, I get the following error message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openastro.org : Depends : imagemagick
E: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Obviously this is something that I need to keep working on. Another promising link that the Astrolog website provides is to Morinus touted as a "Free Astrological Program Written in Python, Using The Swiss Ephemeris". Mind you, the site hasn't been modified since March 18th of 2017. Figure 2 shows a screenshot.
Figure 2
Again, this will take a little more research as I need to install Python from within Chrome OS Flex. Meanwhile, I always have Astrodienst to fall back on. Figure 3 shows a screenshot of my transits for today.
Figure 3
As can be seen, Venus and Mars are rapidly moving toward another conjunction. This upcoming conjunction of the two planets is the third that will occur within a space of about eight months. The dates of these conjunctions are:
Tuesday, July 13th 2021
Saturday, February 12th 2022
Saturday, March 12th 2022
I wrote about the likely effects of these conjunctions in my previous post titled Mars-Venus Conjunction.
The site astrowin.org is quite comprehensive and will display transits to a natal chart in two different forms as well as supplying many other features. See Figures 4 and 5.
Figure 1 shows a screenshot of a cool animation depicting the rotation, tilt and relative sizes of the planets in the solar system. Click here for the animation.
What is doesn't depict of course are the orbits of the planets, their eccentricities and the angle that these orbits make the plane formed by the Earth's orbit. Figure 2 is shows a table of eccentricities along with perihelions and aphelions (closest and furthest approaches to the Sun).
Notice how the perihelion of Pluto takes it inside the orbit of Neptune. Ceres is not listed in the table but it has an eccentricity of 0.0758 with an angle of inclination to the plane of the Earth's orbit of 10.59°. Here is a YouTube video that explains these angles inclination and is fact part of a 33 episode series on comparative planetology.
Figure 3 displays the values of these planetary inclinations:
One could well ask what is the relevance to Astrology of all this astronomical detail? Let's use the planetary orbital inclinations to address this question. The angles correspond in an astrological chart to the maximum possible celestial latitudes, both North and South, that a planet can have. Figure 4 shows today's celestial longitudes.
Figure 4: from Astrolog
As can be seen, the celestial latitude of the Sun is 0°00' as it should be because the ecliptic plane from which the angles are measured is defined by the Earth's path around the Sun. Notice how all the absolute values of all the latitudes conform with the values shown in Figure 3. The North Node of the Moon is where the Moon's orbit intersects the Ecliptic and so its value, like that of the Sun, is always 0°00'. The orbit of the Moon itself has an inclination of 5.145°. The orbit of Chiron has an eccentricity of 0.3823 and an inclination of 6.93°. Like the Moon, all the planets, centaurs, asteroids and dwarf planets have north and south nodes where their orbits intersect the plane of the ecliptic. Some astrologers take these nodes into account but most don't.
The point is that these angles are commonly displayed in an astrological chart for a reason and that is that two coordinates (celestial latitude and longitude) are needed to define an astronomical body's position. Much attention is given to the longitude. For example in Figure 4, it can be seen that Mercury is in 27°37' of Virgo. Far less attention is given to the latitude but when planets are conjunct both in terms of latitude and longitude, this aspect can be particularly potent. One has only to look back to mid-January of 2020 to realise this. See Figure 5.
Figure 5: from Astrolog
It was the spectacular conjunction in Capricorn, occurring in January 13th/14th of 2020, that marked the onset of the Covid pandemic. Notice how the positions of the Sun and Pluto differ by only 0°01' of longitude and that Pluto's latitude is -0°40' (0°40' of south latitude). Remember that Pluto's latitude ranges between -17° and +17° but at this time it was almost zero. Similarly Saturn was not only a mere 0°04' away from an exact conjunction with the Sun but it was also only 0°02' away from the plane of the ecliptic. It is the closeness, in terms of both latitude and longitude of the planets involved in this conjunction, that made it so potent. Its effects will be felt for decades to come.
All the astronomical details concerning the planets are relevant in some way astrologically. To take another example, it has always struck me how Venus, the planet of harmony, and its higher octave Neptune, both have orbits that almost perfectly circular. This means that the eccentricities of their orbits are almost zero (0.007 and 0.009 respectively). Astrologers must know their astronomy, first and foremost before anything else.
I wrote explicitly about Mars-Venus conjunctions in a post titled Mars-Venus on January 27th 2017. However, I've also referred to the topic in Synodic Periods on March 30th 2017 and Mars: A Close Approach and Retrograde Motion of Planets on August 4th 2018. Today (July 13th 2021), when Mars is once again conjunct Venus, I thought it was time to revisit the topic. In this conjunction, the latitudes of these two planets are very close, 1°39' versus 1°11' north latitude. Their longitudes become identical 19°48'57" at 8:33pm, Jakarta time. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
Adapted from Stellarium, Figure 2 shows the view from Jakarta looking to the West about 6:30pm on July 13th 2021. The star Regulus is quite near to the Moon, being at a latitude of 0°08' of Virgo.
Figure 2
This would be the first of three conjunctions of Venus and Mars. The next two conjunctions of Mars and Venus are slated to take place on February 12, 2022 and March 12, 2022. These three form what is called a triple conjunction defined as:
A triple conjunction is an astronomical event where two planets or a planet and a star meet each other three times in a short period, either in opposition or at the time of inferior conjunction, if an inferior planet is involved. The visible movement of the planet or the planets in the sky is therefore normally prograde at the first conjunction, retrograde at the second conjunction and again prograde at the third conjunction. Source.
Figure 3 shows another view of what the first conjunction might look like:
Figure 3
Venus-Mars repeated conjunctions occur every 32 years (plus 0.5 to 4.5 days). During that time, 15 to 17 different conjunctions occur with nearly each one repeating in turn. Some series last >1200 years (up to 40 events). Others are considerably shorter. At the beginning and end of these series, the interval can be one week longer than 32 years. The reason why this happens is because for nearly every 20 times Venus returns to its similar position in the sky, Mars completes almost 15 returns. If these cycles were exactly whole numbers, the repeated conjunctions would last much longer.
This can be confirmed by looking ahead to 2053 and seeing how Mars and Venus are positioned. We find that Mars and Venus are again conjunct in 23°26' of Leo at 7.42pm on July 14th 2053. This is less than 4° from the July 13th 2021 position in 19°49' of Leo. See Figure 4. Remarkable!
Figure 4: Mars-Venus conjunction 2053
Going back to 1989, we find the the two planets were conjunct in 16°17' of Leo at 12:21am on July 13th 1989. This is about 3.5° behind the 2021 position. See Figure 5.
In Jakarta, at noon on Wednesday, January 13th 2021, there is a conjunction of the Sun and Moon in 23°13' of Capricorn. It falls almost exactly on the MC (22°54') with Pluto very nearby in (24°35'). Interestingly, all the planetary bodies lie within an arc of a little over 120°, bounded by Venus in 5°43' of Capricorn and Uranus, retrograde, in 6°43' of Taurus. Figure 1 shows the configuration.
Figure 1
As well as the Sun, Moon, Pluto stellium, there is another one nearby between Mercury (7°40' Aquarius, Jupiter (5°37' Aquarius) and Saturn (3°03' Aquarius). Additionally, Ceres (15°51' Pisces) and Neptune (18°45' Pisces) form doublets along with Mars (2°57' Taurus) and Uranus (6°43'R). Chiron and Venus are the only two bodies that stand alone and they form a close square. Mars-Uranus is square to Mercury-Jupiter-Saturn.
What does it all mean, for Jakarta and the rest of the world? It's certainly an energetic concentration of planets and on the days following the Moon will sweep across the gap between itself and Mars-Uranus, making various aspects as it does so. The Moon won't take long to reach the sensitive Mercury-Jupiter-Saturn stellium (the next day in fact). The Moon represents the people, suffering humanity if you will, and so perhaps it augurs badly for them as they are buffeted even more by forces beyond their control.
Let's not forget that on January 13th, it will be almost exactly a year since the fateful conjunction that precipitated the pandemic. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
As can be seen, this conjunction was almost in the same position as the forthcoming Sun-Moon conjunction in 23°13' of Capricorn. A year ago the positions (all in Capricorn) were:
Mercury 22°24'
Saturn 22°43'
Pluto 22°45'
Sun 21°26'
Ceres 22°19'
So it's an anniversary of sorts with the Sun returning to its position of a year ago and with Pluto pretty much in the same position as well (less than two degrees difference). Perhaps our psychopathic overlords have something surprising in store for us once again. We don't have long to wait to find out.
Jupiter and Saturn will be conjunct on December 21st 2020. To quote this source:
Astronomers use the word conjunction to describe meetings of planets and other objects on our sky’s dome. They use the term great conjunction to describe meetings of Jupiter and Saturn, the two biggest worlds in our solar system. The next great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be December 21, 2020. It’ll be the first Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since the year 2000, and the closest Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since the year 1623! At their closest, Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degrees apart. That’s just 1/5 of a full moon diameter. The extra-close Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 2020 won’t be matched again until the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of March 15, 2080.
According to Astrolog, the conjunction will be exact at 1:17am on December 22nd 2020 in 0°29'07" of Aquarius. The difference in celestial longitude is only 0°06' or 0.1° so it is very close. Of more interest perhaps is the chart for the conjunction at Basel, where most of the economic decisions are made. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
In Basel, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction falls very close to the 7th house cusp with Leo rising, a fitting enough sign for the global elite. The ruler of Leo, the Sun, has just entered Capricorn and is conjunct Mercury on the cusp of the sixth house, representing sacrifice for the greater good. Both Sun and Mercury are in a close semi-sextile aspect the Jupiter-Saturn on the 7th house cusp in Aquarius. It is the common people who are going to feel the brunt of the economic changes that are coming.
It is a fairly tense chart with few harmonious aspects. Venus, the planet of harmony and equilibrium, makes these aspects:
a quincunx aspect to Uranus (0°36')
a sesquiquadrate aspect to Mars (0°37')
a square aspect to Ceres (1°17')
a semisquare to Pluto (1°15')
Note that all other planets lie between Venus and Uranus. The midpoint of these two planets falls in 7°17' of Pisces in the eighth house and close to Ceres in 8°53' of Pisces. Ceres of course rules over food, harvest and the like and so food shortages could well be an issue. Overall it doesn't look too propitious.
Clearly, the conjunction marks the beginning of a new cycle that will completely reshape humankind. THE GREAT RESET, as it's come to be called, will usher in a perverted AGE OF AQUARIUS in which we are governed by a seemingly omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient technocracy:
... a technological society run through social engineering. Fear is but one manipulation tool. The focus on “science” is another. Anytime someone dissents, they’re simply accused of being “anti-science,” and any science that conflicts with the status quo is declared “debunked science.” The only science that matters is whatever the technocrats deem to be true, no matter how much evidence there is against it. We’ve seen this first hand during this pandemic, as Big Tech has censored and banned anything going against the opinions of the World Health Organization, which is just another cog in the technocratic machine. Source.
Along with the technocracy will be come a ramping up of transhumanism and transgenderism. Saturn and Uranus will be square to each other in February of 2021 and December of 2021 so their interaction will be key to what happens in the coming year. Here is an interesting video that discusses some of these issues:
On a final astronomical note, I came across some interesting statistics in a book that I'm currently reading titled The Big Bang Never Happened by Eric J. Lerner:
The Sun has only 2 percent of the solar system's total angular momentum, while Jupiter, with only one-thousandth the mass, has 70 percent; Saturn has nearly all the rest, about 27 percent.
So the two planets with 97 percent of the solar system's angular momentum will be in conjunction in December. Also of interest is the fact that for the next 120 years, all Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions will fall in air signs:
In 1897, Basel was chosen by Theodor Herzl as the location for the first World Zionist Congress, and altogether the congress has been held there ten times over a time span of 50 years, more than in any other location. The city is also home to the world headquarters of the Bank for International Settlements. Wikipedia
Despite some searching, I've been unable to find an exact time for the start of this congress which took place over three days from August 29th to 31st. However, it is known that it started in the morning:
Sunrise on August 29th in Basel took place at 5:44am and so it seems reasonable to draw up a chart for that moment in the absence of an official starting time. Figure 1 shows the chart for the sunrise moment:
Figure 1
Not all will agree but to me it seems clear that the Zionists have taken effective control of the planet via the financial system. Their agenda of a one world government with its headquarters in Jerusalem has not yet been realised. It would seem that this chart should give insight into what they are up to.
"At Basel I founded the Jewish State. If I said this out loud today, l would be greeted by universal laughter. In five years perhaps, and certainly in fifty years, everyone will perceive it." (Theodor Herzl, 3 September 1897) source
The chart is characterised by three very close pairs of planetary conjunctions:
Moon and Jupiter
Mercury and Mars
Saturn and Uranus
It is the conjunction between Saturn and Uranus that caught my eye, as these planetary energies are quite opposite and nature and, especially in Scorpio, don't bode well. Here is a description of the effects of this conjunction taken from this source and slightly modified:
Saturn – Uranus is a cycle of 45 years characterised by:
giving a form, a real expression to the eccentric, unconventional ideas coming from Uranus
creating crisis to show the weaknesses of the current system and highlighting the old, obsolete components that must be changed;
changing the organisational structure, the organisational process or the manner in which a system is managed
creating a social, political vision which should be realistic, practical but at the same time not too conventional
fomenting revolutions, protests in order to change the established order, the system in which the world/countries are organised/led
upheavals, riots
Noteworthy too is the close trine to this conjunction from Venus in the parochial sign of Cancer, reminding us that the Zionists are out to nurture their own "family" and not the goyim. The harmonious nature of this aspect helps explain the spectacular success that Zionism has enjoyed since the first Zionist conference.
Obviously this chart needs to be considered in relation to the chart of Israel but this chart came first and it was where, according to Herzl, he founded the Jewish State. Of course, things are never as they seem and a sizeable portion of the conference's delegates were very hostile to Herzl once he explained to them what he'd been up to. I made a post (titled Theodor Herzl: Victim of Talmudic Magic?) on my Alternative News blog about the fate of Theodore Herzl. It is an interesting read. There is also an earlier post of mine titled simply Theodor Herzl.
I won't go into further details about the congress chart at this point but will probably add more observations later on.
Today is May 12th 2020. On May 14th, Jupiter will become retrograde. Saturn became retrograde on May 11th and Pluto on April 25th. All three will continue their retrograde motion until:
Jupiter turns direct on September 12th 2020
Saturn turns direct on September 29th 2020
Pluto turns direct on October 4th 2020
See Figure 1 for details:
The conjunction of January 12th 2020 involved Mercury, Sun, Ceres, Saturn and Pluto with Jupiter not involved (see my post: In the Time of Corona) at that time but entering upon the scene a little later. My speculation is that the retrograde motion of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in the area of the original conjunction point will mark a loosening of the medical martial law that has been imposed on the population of the planet. The powers-that-ought-not-to-be will analyse the success of their plandemic and prepare for a second wave that will be unleashed in early October of 2020 (as all three planets turn direct).
The orbital period of Ceres, closely associated with harvests and food, is about 4.6 years and so the squares and opposition to the conjunction point in 22° of Capricorn may mark periods of food crises. Ceres almost returns to its original position when it turns stationary retrograde in 21°27' of Capricorn on May 14th 2024 (almost exactly four years from now).
The synodic period of Saturn and Pluto is between 33 and 37 years and of course Saturn will be casting different aspects to the Saturn-Pluto conjunction point throughout its 29 year cycle of the zodiac. The full impact of what is happening now may only be fully realised about 15 years in the future when Saturn reaches the opposition to the conjunction point.
Anyway, getting back to October 4th 2020, we note that on that day:
Pluto is in 22°29' of Capricorn and thus almost exactly where it was on January 12th 2020
Saturn is in 25°22' of Capricorn
Jupiter is in 18°09' of Capricorn
The midpoint of Jupiter-Pluto is thus around 21°45' of Capricorn and so very close to Pluto's position. It makes for an impressive sight when compared to the original positions (see Figure 2):
Figure 2
Saturn is very close to the Basel Descendant and for this reasons the restrictions may be more draconian than those applied in the first wave.
Who knows what may happen?
Certainly possible are forced vaccinations and removal of persons from their home environment if they are suspected of being infected.
The tyranny of our psychopathic rulers knows no limits.
In November of 2018, I wrote about The Saturn and Pluto Synodic Cycle, referencing in particular the January 12th 2020 conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. I wrote:
As near as I can determine, the conjunction will occur at 5:13pm in Basel on January 12th 2020. Why Basel? Well, that's where the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) is located and seeing that it's regarded as the Bank of Banks, then Basel is a reasonable location. It's one hour ahead of Greenwich. The chart is an interesting one and it can be seen immediately that a confluence of synodic cycles is involved because Saturn and Pluto are joined by Mercury, the Sun and Ceres to form a tight and impressive stellium in Capricorn.
Figure 1 shows the chart:
Figure 1: chart cast for the conjunction in Basel
I continued on by saying:
So it seems to me that January 12th 2020 might be a day when big decisions are made concerning the global economy, a new digital currency perhaps for all the nations of the world. Whatever is decided of course, it will be good for the banksters and not so good for the rest of us. The larger implications of the changes may not become apparent or may not be fully implemented until the time when Saturn reaches the square to Pluto. Saturn's subsequent opposition to Pluto should reveal the full extent and consequences of the earlier initiatives.
In June of 2019, I made a post titled Financial Reset in which I wrote:
I've drawn up a chart for London as the day dawns on Monday, January 13th 2020. The conjunction falls on the Sunday but global markets won't be open then and trading will begin in London later that morning. I've chosen London because historically it was the centre of the world economy and it still plays a very important role. Figure 2 shows a dramatic chart with Mercury, Sun, Saturn and Pluto all conjunct on the rising degree.
Figure 2: sunrise in London following the conjunction
I went on to say that:
Interestingly in late November of 2020, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will be closely aligned in Capricorn. The involvement of Jupiter suggests some sort of new direction following the destruction by Pluto of the old economic order, represented by Saturn in Capricorn. However, getting back to the actual conjunction, it should be noted that the latitudes of the two planets are also very close, Saturn being 0°40’ S and Pluto being 0°02’ N.
The focus in both my posts was on a radical economic restructuring. Of course, I had no idea how this was to take place. It was clear that the global elite would need to create a major crisis in order to justify any really radical measures and trade wars and actual wars were possible candidates. Last year it seemed that both were possible. Dangerous tensions arose between the United States and Iran while at the same time the trade war between the United States and China ramped up significantly. In the end, it was the pandemic scenario that won out.
This was an excellent choice because as can now be seen it is shutting down the entire world and promising economic repercussions of unimaginable proportions. Paper money has been targeted as a vehicle for the transmission of the virus and the days of cash are clearly numbered. The numbers dying from the virus are insignificant on a global scale but it is the hysteria that has been whipped up by mainstream media and even some alternative media, that is of importance. Radical economic restructuring along with medical marshal law and the elimination of paper money is now justified.
In late March of 2020, transiting Mars moves to the midpoint of Saturn and Pluto while Jupiter reaches a conjunction with Pluto. Maybe there will be some significant developments around that time when all the planets will be within a 120° arc stretching from Capricorn to Taurus. Figure 3 shows this.
Figure 3
So it would seem that the Corona virus is a means to an end and that end is financial initially but ultimately it is about CONTROL. Saturn of course is a fitting symbol for CONTROL and Pluto has much to do with the dastardly ways of achieving this. However, the full energy of Pluto cannot be controlled as when the earth trembles and volcanoes erupt. Maybe the global elite will overestimate the degree to which they can control the course of events that have been set in motion.
Many have connected the recent conjunction of Saturn and Pluto to the beginning of a cycle that will produce profound shifts in the global financial system. That may well prove to be the case but in terms of a connection to immediate events, the Taal volcanic eruption in the Philippines is what caught my eye. This volcano is situated 14°00'N and 120°59'E and in the Philippines, the conjunction was exact at 12:12am on Monday 13th January 2020. The volcano began erupting on the Sunday. Figure 1 shows a chart drawn up for that time at the location of the volcano:
Figure 1
The conjunction falls within one degree of the chart's IC. Saturn can be associated with the Earth's crust, marking as it does the "skin" of the planet, and Pluto of course is the seething magma beneath this crust that sometimes breaks through it, as it's attempting to do via the Taal volcano. Note that Mars in the second house throws a sharp semi-square to the conjunction that involves Mercury, Ceres and the Sun as well as Saturn and Pluto.

Here's an excerpt from a recent article describing the volcano:
For the more than 500,000 residents of the exclusion zone around the Philippines’ Taal volcano, which began erupting on Sunday, the coming days will be a tense wait to see if the eruption will intensify—threatening lives and property—or sputter out. If activity ramps up, Taal is capable of producing all three of the deadliest volcanic hazards: tsunamis, mudflows, and superheated flows of gas and debris. Volcanoes are notoriously unpredictable, but there are seismic signs and others that geologists will be watching for indications of what this one will do. Taal is the second most active volcano in the Philippines Islands, which are situated at the confluence of several tectonic plates. Taal’s peak sits at the southern end of the main island of Luzon, about 40 miles south of the nation’s capital, Manila. The entire volcanic complex presents something of a geologic Droste effect (a term used to describe recursive pictures within pictures): a lake fills the main crater, which itself is an island in a larger lake that fills the old caldera that formed after catastrophic eruptions about 500,000 and 100,000 years ago. The volcano has erupted 33 times since 1572—most recently in 1977. Since then, it has seen numerous periods of what volcanologists call unrest—seismic rumblings and up-and-down ground movements indicating that magma and other fluids are shifting below the surface. The quandary for those trying to predict Taal’s next moves is that “sometimes that unrest leads to eruption, and sometimes it doesn’t,” says Michael Manga, a volcanologist at the University of California, Berkeley.
It will be interesting to see how things play out.
I made the following post and then realised that I'd earlier made a post titled Saturn and Pluto Synodic Cycle late last year. No matter. In the earlier post I'd focused on Basel whereas in this post I've considered London instead. While there is some overlap, the latest post has some alternative and additional information. It also indicates that the conjunction has been on my mind for some time now.
It seems that the role assigned Donald Trump by his Zionist overlords is to destabilise the world's economic system via trade wars and military tensions. The world economy of course has been in parlous shape since 2008 and it's surprising that the wheels haven't fallen off before now. There must be a major financial reset in the very near future and what better time to trigger it than amidst economic chaos and threats of war.
Israel has never had a US president so compliant to its every demand and it will make full use of him for the remainder of his term in office. With US presidential elections at the end of 2020, a meltdown of the global economy should be expected before then along with a new economic order. The conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in mid-January of 2020 is the strongest indicator that I can see for such a development.
I've drawn up a chart for London as the day dawns on Monday, January 13th 2020. The conjunction falls on the Sunday but global markets won't be open then and trading will begin in London later that morning. I've chosen London because historically it was the centre of the world economy and it still plays a very important role. Figure 1 shows a dramatic chart with Mercury, Sun, Saturn and Pluto all conjunct on the rising degree.

Interestingly in late November of 2020, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will be closely aligned in Capricorn. The involvement of Jupiter suggests some sort of new direction following the destruction by Pluto of the old economic order, represented by Saturn in Capricorn. However, getting back to the actual conjunction, it should be noted that the latitudes of the two planets are also very close, Saturn being 0°40’ S and Pluto being 0°02’ N. That's a separation of only 0°42'. This should add potency to the conjunction. This can be seen clearly in Figure 2 (taken from this site) in which the proximity of the two planets in terms of both celestial latitude and longitude can be clearly seen. Pluto can move quite some distance north and south of the celestial equator

It's interesting to look back of the last conjunction of these two planets. Figure 2 shows an excerpt from an article about these conjunctions:
There is quite a detailed historic examination of Saturn-Pluto interactions at this site titled:

This is an exploration of the historical events occurring in the previous Saturn-Pluto Synodic Cycles and during the primary phase transitions occurring within those cycles, including the Saturn-Pluto square of 2009-2010.
I haven't posted to this blog in a while but the start of the 2109 astrological year has prompted me to post again. The location is set to Jakarta, partly because I'm living there and partly because the five yearly presidential election is to be held next month and the country is highly polarised in its support of the two duelling candidates. The equinox, autumnal for Jakarta because it is south of the equator, occurred at 4:58am on March 21st. The chart is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: chart for the equinox in Jakarta at 4:58am on 21st March 2019
In Figure 2 I've marked in the positions of the planets to the nearest degree and emphasised the aspects between the planets.

nearest degree and aspects between planets emphasised.
A general observation about the equinox is that Pluto is conjunct the South Node of the Moon. This occurs about every 15 years but the conjunction in Capricorn last occurred in 1777. To quote from this site (translated from French), the following events occurred:
In France, Louis XVI had appointed Necker as General Director of Finances (June 29th, 1777). Together they carried on the tax reform of work in order to bring cash for the State, without overwhelming the people nor irritate the wealthy and the landlords. Necker implements two immediately lucrative systems: loans and the lottery (Wikipedia). Isn’t it interesting to observe the similarities between then and today, whereas the yellow vests are comparing Macron with Louis XVI. In the US, this conjunction corresponds with the second semester of 1777, afew months after the Declaration of Independence. Battles against the British are still going on. 1777 is also the year of the Flag Resolution, first flag with 13 stars.
The same site's author (Patrick Giani) goes on to say that:
At worst, it could be a period of revolts and major clashes, at best a questioning of our institutions and systems. Pluto conjunct South Node reveals injustice, all manoeuvres from politicians, businesses and bankers to keep people dependant. This conjunction requires from those in power to change the laws that rule the country. It requires from every one, including the people, to be genuine and authentic.

are highlighted in yellow
Moreover, Pluto is sharply aspected by a trine from Mars in Taurus as well as a semi-sextile from Venus in Aquarius. All three form a right angled triangle with the vertex of the right angle being the position of Venus. Jupiter is also in close semi-sextile aspect and there is also a square to Pluto from the Moon in Virgo, although there is 5° orb in this case. It would seem that the combined tension between Mars and Venus, building up in the fixed signs of Taurus and Aquarius and augmented by Jupiter and the Moon, will find a release through the cardinal (action) sign of Capricorn if the controlling influence of nearby Saturn cannot stifle it. Figure 3 highlights these aspects in yellow.
Figure 4: aspects to the Moon
are highlighted in blue
In many ways, the Moon is the most highly aspected planet in the chart. These aspects are shown in Figure 4 and include the opposition from the Sun and Chiron, a square from Jupiter, a trine from Pluto and Mars and a quincunx from Uranus. The involvement of the Moon emphasises of course the masses and the opposition of the Sun suggests conflict and confrontation with those in power. The closest aspects to the Moon are from the Sun and Uranus, the latter planet of course closely associated with revolutions.
So far I've only looked at the aspects between the planets and not the specifics of the Jakarta chart. In this chart, Pisces rises and one of the rulers, Neptune, is conjunct the Ascendant while the other, Jupiter, is in the tenth house. If there is a revolution, the driving forces behind it are likely to be as shadowy as those of 1965. The elections will be held on April 17th and on that day the Moon returns to the same position it occupied on the Equinox. Let's see how things play out. One things for sure, this is a very powerful chart both in Jakarta and for anywhere else in the world.
