2020 ANNUAL ASTROSCOPE by JOHN DELANEY PRELIMINARY STATEMENT FOR 2020 Saturn conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn, exactly, on January 12, 2020. Since Percival Lowell discovered Pluto on February 18, 1930, Saturn has conjuncted Pluto only twice, until now:    1) Saturn conjuncted Pluto in Leo on August 10, 1947; and 2) Saturn conjuncted Pluto in Libra on November 7, 1982.   Those who lived through these years, felt its energy & remembered its worldly events will most likely be alarmed to know that they will undergo such psychic electricity yet again.  Those with sophisticated knowledge of astrology will endure further alarm as they realize that Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn colors the entire year of 2020. 2020 represents the balsamic end of the previous Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 22 degrees Taurus on May 28, 2000 in preparation for the subsequent Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0 degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020. If one asserts that the year before the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is analogous to the day before a New Moon, Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn represents not only the supremely baneful yet cathartic climax to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 22 Taurus on May 28, 2000, but connotes the indelible karmic coloring of the subsequent cycle – in this case, the twenty-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle from the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0 degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020 to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 18 Libra on Halloween 2040. Finally, astrological masters will endure supreme alarm as they recall that the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 22 degrees Taurus on May 28, 2000 represents the last of nine Jupiter-Saturn cycles in earth signs, commencing with the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 5 degrees Virgo on July 17, 1802. Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn therefore also represents the supremely baneful yet cathartic climax to the complete series of nine Jupiter-Saturn cycles in earth signs in their entirety – excepting the first Jupiter-Saturn cycle in an air sign, when Jupiter conjuncted Saturn at 5 degrees Libra on July 24, 1981 and which overlaps with the last Jupiter-Saturn cycle in an earth sign, Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 22 degrees Taurus on May 28, 2000. However, will Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn connote the indelible karmic coloring to the complete series of nine Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in air signs ending with the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 28 degrees Aquarius on April 7, 2199? And, of course, the Pluto Return of the U.S.A. on February 21, 2022, July 11, 2022 and December 28, 2022 does nothing to assuage anybody’s alarm. ARIES 2020 Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 afflicts so many people, cities, states, provinces and countries with the entrenched consequences of their bad decisions. Is it possible to take action in a way that will reverse the trends of such overwhelming negativity?  Invariably, the corporations, governments, executives & employers say, “Absolutely not!” But are they right? Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January may promote the illusion that those corporations, governments, executives & employers exert insuperable & absolute control over your own & everybody else’s life, but that illusion seems like airtight & irrefutable realism only because you float through the airless, carbon-dioxide saturated non-air space of the professional office. Truth be told, Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February signifies that the collective wealth & power of individual & extended family bloodlines may be much stronger & much more secure than too-big-to-fail institutions.  Despite this home truth, extremely high-level international bankers try to put into place unprecedented, far-reaching and extreme protocol, rules and regulations intended to fix long-standing failures, problems and loopholes in the capitalist system during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. Frankly, this sounds like that section of Pink Floyd’s The Wall where the teacher says, “How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?” Don’t try to answer the question – just eat your meat. And realize that meat is a pretty good dinner – be glad that you have some to eat. This realization does not address your immediate concerns. More germane to what concerns you is the question posed by Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces in February: What does all this worldly power mean? You are not so savage as to accept Hobbes or Machiavelli, but from an altruistic point of view, no priest, minister or bishop really seems as cool as Jesus, either. For real: Who knows what the future leadership will try to do throughout Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042? How will they try to justify it? It is inhuman to maintain an interminable cold-blooded strategic neutrality. Love of family, city, state, province or country still makes you emotionally volatile during the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020. So, what is the point, anyway? Part of the meaning of life lies in looking for the meaning of life. Ponder this as you demonstrate much more overt gratitude for that didactic yet heroic public figure who demonstrates extremely capable and diligent responsibility in all sorts of crises during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. Of course, the younger, more recent college graduates find deep beauty in doubt, as they sing along with “Especially Me” by Low during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023, “And if we know where we belonged, there’d be no doubt where we’re from.” It’s a beautiful phase – but it is just a phase. For those who have outgrown that phase, a breath of fresh air exhilarates that mere hint of doubt during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September: I don’t know, but I’m going to find out. And that breath of fresh air makes you not only demand answers about your employer’s financials & true financial status as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June but also makes you rebel against the true source of your current power – family – during Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March. Careful! Saturn in Aquarius from April through June warns about the downside & the danger of that “liberation” you now feel. A lot of entrenched powerful people who will not hesitate to hurt you force you to defend your position starting during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. Not only can’t you fight every battle alone – you simply can’t fight any battle! Don’t overestimate the extent of your alliances or your own personal power. Keep it simple. Accept that life is no different than a football game. And how do you win a football game? By scoring more than your opponent or by giving up less points than that same opponent. Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020 favors defense. Spend less – much less – than you make and have. Win that “war of attrition.” That’s that. Now, as long as most of your family sticks to playing football, the collective wealth & power of individual & extended family bloodlines may be much stronger & much more secure than too-big-to-fail institutions – but that does not mean that these too-big-to-fail institutions are just giving up. Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June insists, “Far from it.” Old-style, entrenched corporate & institutional alliances strengthen during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. Also, the adrenaline rush of liberation subsides during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September, forcing you to slow down. You swim over your head in complex negotiations during Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces during May & June and become more vulnerable to betrayal & double-crossers during Retrograde Venus in Gemini in May & June. The North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 demands that you negotiate with more savvy. So you do your homework during Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July. You clearly see the potential for disaster down the road during Asbolus conjunct the North Node in Gemini from August through October. But your lack of personal control over your destiny angers you deeply during 1999-OX3 in Aries square Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn in June. You therefore declare your own war of mercenary aggrandizement in favor of yourself during Mars in Aries from July through December. So Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces from July through October asks you again: What does all this worldly power mean? Now, additionally, your family begins to ask you some seriously manipulative questions during 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces from July through September so as to ask you the real question: Why are you fighting everybody – including your family? Of course, old-style, entrenched corporate & institutional alliances don’t care how you answer these questions – they just continue to strengthen their alliances against you as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. Maybe it is time during the beginning of Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October that you begin to think before you act – rather than regroup & to think after your actions have already had consequences beyond your immediate control. After all, these old-style, entrenched corporate & institutional alliance types are exactly those people who always think before they act – and Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December denotes that these old-style, entrenched corporate & institutional alliance types have been thinking all summer about how to handle you all autumn.  Which means that, during Mars square Saturn in September, back off – for a change. If you don’t back off, how do you think you will survive superior adversarial forces against you not only during Retrograde Mars square Pluto in early October but also during Retrograde Mars square Jupiter in late October? Time to count not only your blessings but, in fact, all your allies. Who are these allies? For starters, you may want to make a more realistic appraisal of how much your family loves you as Echeclus transits Cancer from September through November. You not only should accept, but, in fact, you should be grateful, that some forces, and, in fact, much larger forces, are beyond your control. The economic damage done to retail accelerates appreciably as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021 – whether or not a fire burns down a commercial strip in your local area. Lawyers & litigators take on these old-style, entrenched corporate & institutional alliances as Elatus in Libra square Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn in September & October. Powerful & rich heroes & villains demonstrate their true colors during 1996-TL66 conjunct the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. What should you be doing during all of this? You learn what really motivates your family during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 – and you hear stories about your family as you were growing up that you never heard before after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. You learn how to be brave without being reckless as you choose to fight battles that you can win as Cyllarus transits Leo before & after Halloween – but be careful. This comes with a learning curve. You also learn how to use vigilant patience as you seek out a dream job during Thereus in Virgo during November & December – but this comes with a learning curve, too. Overall, however, the most important thing that you can realize, especially during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December, is that you already know what the answer to that question, “What does all this worldly power mean?” (Disregard jokers who resurrect that terrible & ostensibly ironic slogan from the Eighties as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021, “Whoever dies with the most toys wins – and Jeff Bezos is winning!”) Namely, the collective wealth & power of individual & extended family bloodlines may be much stronger & much more secure than too-big-to-fail institutions. Which, once again, begs the question during 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021: How can – not why should – I make peace with my family? First of all, you must reset your radar so that you continue to think – long before you actually act – beginning Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December. As you think, you can get in touch with your own motivations. Realize during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021 that the personal courage & strategic thinking, upon which you acted over the last couple of years emerged out of an understanding of your own personal motivation – and that your own personal motivation, the reason you get up in the morning, emerges out of your knowledge that you are part of your family during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021. Know who you are, based upon who you were when you were growing up, as you deal with adults with their financial interests, which they will further as aggressively & as secretively as possible, during Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn during November, and adults with their political interests, which they will also further as aggressively & as secretively as possible during Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. However, a very tricky political speed bump, the stop sign designed to last twenty years, forces these politicians, and you, to speak with caution as Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021. Those who speak with caution gain the advantage, and those who don’t fall behind an eight ball from which it will become very difficult to extricate themselves as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021. These are rarified power brokers that experienced players must navigate with strategy & care. Extremely smart & visionary blue-blooded politicians who forgot more than entire populations ever knew rise to the surface during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. Experienced business leaders face logistic crises far beyond their decades of experience during 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. These are powerful people dealing with the broadest & most important issues in society – and you can be in a position to influence them for you & yours as Chiron in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. Think before you speak. Look before you leap.   TAURUS 2020   More and more cops once again hit the streets. Is this good? In general, yes, no and maybe – but now, as Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasize the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020, no. Too many cops appear when a plethora of problems plague unimaginative politicians and crime begins to skyrocket.  Exacerbating paranoia, cops & bosses seem to wield total, unassailable & absolute authority – and they do – but only during Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January. Truth be told, Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February reasserts that, as long as your speech & actions are lawful, you can do what you like whether cops or bosses like it or not. You have dignity. You have self-respect. You don’t have to hide who you are. Does this suggest that you should speak about your ideas in a public forum? Not necessarily. All you really want to do is to go to bars and restaurants with your friends both in your local area and in any city to which you may travel where there is some nightlife throughout the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020. True, inexperienced & less formidable spirits are intimidated during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023 – who can blame them? This is why you must demonstrate some backbone, some sass, some balls as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February. Just because the bartender serves thugs doesn’t mean that you have to change your behavior or politics in order to accommodate them. Luckily, a local responsible public official takes social control, or even crowd control, of this difficult situation during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020 – a situation made even more difficult by the sheer number of cops. Lead the fearful into courage. Many police and politicians who begin their tour of duty during 2019 & 2020 will be on the job for their entire careers throughout Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042, but their system of belief, alliances and worldview will date back to this period of significant tumult. Some will develop into demagogues who will continue to cast blame on the same people upon whom others cast blame now. Realize that some of these police and politicians will turn into monsters, yet their misdeeds will also empower other police and politicians who now also begin their tour of duty now who will ultimately place this current astrological transit into a sane historical perspective. Both lawlessness and extremely violent weather which makes life dangerous at year-end 2019 empower police commencing Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. Simultaneously, extremely radical new legislation and political leaders create brand-new far-reaching blueprints for the long-term future during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. That blue-blooded politician on the television may not be from New Hampshire (“Live Free or Die”) – but they certainly aren’t talking that secular fire & brimstone during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September so that you will act like a wimp! Look that cunning coward shilling for some behind-the-back enemy straight in the eye as Chiron in Aries squares the North Node in Cancer in February & March. Furthermore, cops & bosses that tried to bully you earlier in 2020 know that they have a disadvantage against you, but they will still try to bluff you as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June. Tune them into, without revealing, your unseen depths. This is not an invitation to overplay your hand. Bad-ass cops & bosses who do not play will not mess with you if you do not mess with them during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn in February & March. They are waiting to see if you & others like you will walk your talk – or blow it – during Saturn in Aquarius from April through June. If you keep slowly walking the straight line, cops & bosses, both more responsible & with a much more even temperament, clue you into the problems with which they directly, and with which you indirectly, deal, during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. This is both an invitation & a reminder. You all are on the same team. You have nothing to prove during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. Vigilance & duty are its own reward. Just in case you don’t believe this, somebody whom you thought you could trust double-crosses you (or tries to double-cross you) during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June. This is an aggressive reminder during the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 that this does not only happen to you. All sorts of thieves will put a ton of effort to get away with any & everything with all sorts of stakes as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. Find partners you can trust. Trust your partners. Moreover, leadership that you & your peers respect are dealing with the accumulation of all of your, your peers’ & your entire social classes’ shared problems on this exact level during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. If this sounds like politics, it is – and politics amongst equals, both towards leadership & each other, matters greatly during this cycle. If you don’t think so, the jerk who has no consideration for anybody but himself or herself will impel you to get allies to keep these animals under control. Mars in Aries from July through December says, “Easier said than done.” Remember earlier in the year when you had to assert yourself amongst a motley crew always in danger of morphing into a mob? These people are still around as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October – they never go away! You have to find the minority amongst this majority who is also on your side as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. It may seem that cops & bosses assert more authority during Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September strictly because they can. Calm down – let it pass. However, some truly obnoxious hothead angers not only local merchants & bartenders but also the police during 1999-OX3 in Aries square Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June – and neither the cops nor the merchants & bartenders want to put up with it. While this sparks extremely impulsive & self-destructive reactions later on during Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October, this has nothing to do with you – does it? Okay, then! So where should Taurus the Bull concentrate their attention? By finding a partner who sees the big picture better, and who sees a bigger big picture than you, as Echeclus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini during July in your 2nd house of money. By paying much more attention to potential downsides of all sorts of partnership, business situations & worldly events as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October in your 2nd house of no money. By making sure that you have the resources for all sorts of worst-case scenarios for survival during 1996-TL66 conjunct the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021 in your 2nd house of no more business on earth. (“It’s bad out there,” Bob Dylan sings. “High water everywhere.”) But don’t get paranoid! What can happen might not happen. Appraise the economic viability of the small businesses in your local areas during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. Draw your own conclusions.  Those hot-headed troublemakers cause police clear, obvious & public problems as Mars squares Saturn during September. As a result, police will be more than ready for whatever happens next during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December. Police will not tolerate these problems for any timeframe whatsoever & clamp down aggressively during Retrograde Mars square Pluto in early October. Conflict escalates during Retrograde Mars square Jupiter in late October. Complicating matters precipitously, many people lie in official police reports as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. Many colleagues & employees will also lie to authority figures & bosses in the workplace at the same time. Sidestep trouble. It is not your problem. Stay out of it. Better minds & saner temperaments intervene to save the day from escalating conflict as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. This leadership pow-wows with cops, bosses & all authority figures, behind closed doors, working through official channels & behind the scenes, to reestablish order as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. Troublemakers regroup & plan to move forward during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December but police are ready for them. Again, stay out of it. Shift your attention back to the local area & your own life. Notice proposed changes or future developments in your local neighborhood or city during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 – and notice which businesses are closing for good after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. Realize that customers & consumers will spend their money on one business or another based upon political motivations as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Determine that you love where you live, whom do you love where you live, and why – or move on during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween. Make plans to get a better job or to move up in the world either by taking new classes in school or taking government tests for civil service jobs during Thereus in Virgo during November & December. Now, as cops, bosses & other authority figures crack down viciously during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December, aren’t you glad that you were avoiding all those troublemakers goading the police in the early fall? You can walk around the neighborhood & be left alone during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 to scope out whoever is doing whatever – whether they like it or not – during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. Do it! Political issues effect twenty-year change commencing Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021. Know who you support & why during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029 – but be very circumspect as you discuss it during Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. People who say too much without paying attention to whom during Jupiter in Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021 pay a heavy price. Pay closer attention & ask pointed questions of those who silently absorb what everybody else discusses in a political conversation as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Listen more than you speak & maintain direct eye contact in conversations involving politics as Chiron in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. As for yourself, keep your own counsel. Be warned that political solutions involving the police will prove much more complicated & obtuse than anybody ever anticipated during 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026.   GEMINI 2020   Never in your life have you had enough money to secure a loan with collateral that you could pay down with a paltry amount of interest so that, like rich people, you wind up buying what you need and want with other peoples’ money. Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 makes it seem as if this hasn’t changed. But maybe things have changed. You are aware that there is a different way to do things and you are waiting for that opportunity to come along. Just because this opportunity is not coming to you at a rate that makes you feel comfortable does not mean that you are failing. You are not acting in desperation, like other people. You are keeping your overall debt and operating deficit as low as possible until the ton of work that you need, and the money that comes along with it, arrives. Why do you feel oppressed by the illiquidity of your assets? Why do you complain that you never see so much money that you earn because it goes to healthcare, your 401K, social security? Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January reminds you that this is the bedrock upon which you are building the skyscraper of your life. Moreover, you have liquid cash at your disposal – lots of it. Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February in fact signifies that you might even have a better credit rating than your employer! Soon you will be able to plan your long-term financial future during the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020 – but you absolutely must keep the pressure on. Outperformance becomes that much more necessary. Furthermore, be circumspect concerning your investments. Financial advisors admit an unusual amount of vulnerability – although the old-hand blue blood Ivy Leaguer insists, “None of us has cut any of the steak out of our diet,” during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. Most importantly, financial professionals who begin their careers during this time will learn much about market psychology and how to manipulate it. Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042 will produce many who can comfort the extremely wary and just as many who can fleece the extremely savvy. Be warned. It’s hard to look upon your bosses as vulnerable, given how they dump stuff on you, dump impossible deadlines upon you and generally make your life miserable, particularly during Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces in February. For one thing, greater financial stability amongst your employers, creditors and debtors accompany Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. Collect. Still, you may want to take note of how bosses talk & seem as they pow-wow together during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. Rest assured, the worse that they do professionally & financially, the more that they will be driving you to produce. While not every boss will fit this profile, 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposite Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposite Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June, is still whispering in the ear of the slave, “When the slave has more money & better credit than the slave owners, it is time to find a more lucrative, generous . . . and freedom-loving . . . plantation.” This is not an invitation to play it fast & loose. Extremely broad and deep, and at times wickedly radical, but overall positive, changes to the capital markets and world geopolitics alter the landscape irrevocably during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. Not only is it impossible to predict, but nobody will even know what it all means for many years to come. Therefore, don’t overreact. Accept what is coming to you with gratitude and without complaints. Keeping all this in mind: Charity begins at home during Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March. Your money is yours. Keep it in your wallet. When wishes are horses, beggars ride. A brilliant mind – perhaps even a visionary astrologer! – who has written many books & offers frequent lectures during & after 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September leads you into this freedom-loving state of mind. Pursue. However, be realistic. Saturn in Aquarius from April through June provides a path to freedom – but you are not ready to follow it. You may need professional credentials; you may need to build physical stamina at the gym; you may need to lose weight (lots of weight). But you need a plan. A more positive view of jointly held finances: The consolidation of wealth bodes very well for stock market investments, purchases of artwork & the sale of luxury items, such as yachts, swimming pools & extremely expensive recreation equipment during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen! Yes, you can day-trade & make a killing (not every sign in the zodiac has the skill to do that, Gemini) during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June – but get greedy at your extreme peril. Don’t think that this will go on forever – or even for a week.  Furthermore, that brilliant mind may have dropped hints about, or discussed directly, astrology – and, admittedly, that brilliant mind intrigued you. However, think twice before you hypnotize yourself by thinking that you can use astrology to predict the stock market during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. Of course, some people can – but do you have true expertise either in astrology or the capital markets? When one such expert in either or both disciplines arrives to take questions or to make a lecture, Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September invites you to pick their brains. Otherwise . . . don’t try this at home. As you are risking this money, don’t forget that your bosses are vulnerable. The big picture which you see, which you do not want to see, about your professional workplace & the economy, you alone see – most likely before some of your braindead bosses – during Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces during May & June. Don’t get distracted – even when some associate tries to encroach on your domain or to ask you for undeserved charity during 1999-OX3 in Aries square Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Even though you can’t quite connect all the dots, you must trust your instincts during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June – you see it better than everybody else. For that matter, you must be the only one who sees it at all! This underwrites the major lesson you will learn as the North Node transits Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021. How is anybody else going to trust what you think, believe & intuit unless you believe it yourself?  So there you have it. Trust your intelligence & your ability to connect the dots during Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July. Trust your gut instinct even when the picture with all the connected dots contradicts that gut instinct during Asbolus conjunct the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Walk out of the smoky crowded movie theater long before the stampede that commences when the individual screams, “Fire!” during 1996-TL66 conjunct the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Back to your gut. Associates will not be shy in expressing their opinion during Mars in Aries from July through December. Although empty pots make the most noise, a broken clock is still correct twice a day. To that end, ask yourself, “Is it possible that bosses are trying to whip us into submission because we are in a better position than them?” as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October. Ask questions & lead the conversation as to whether they do or do not have the money as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. Find out. After all, you deserve to know the real reason behind such arduous professional stricture during Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September – but you can’t expect anybody to volunteer such information. Be your own detective. The type of associate who acts without thinking, then complains & instigates against the power structure without analyzing or strategizing, takes center stage during Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October. This type of associate will butt heads with bosses as Mars squares Saturn during September. What a stupid move. While some such bosses may have a misguided strategy about one important task, fact or detail, Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December adds that such bosses not only have many responsibilities but also in fact myriad resources. Bosses will pull out the rug from under them as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October before they again choose to butt heads with the same bosses who rightfully screw them as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October. Not smart. Learn from this jerk’s mistake: When a boss or colleague makes an error on your paycheck, vacation status or how to spell your name, Elatus in Libra square Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October states that you should not try to make them look bad. Correct them politely – if possible, in private. What should you do? Account for all of your money, liquid or otherwise, as Echeclus transits Cancer from September through November. Make a plan & stick to it. Follow through on deals that you decided you would make, no matter how long ago, as Cyllarus transits Leo before & after Halloween. Hunt new real estate – but do not buy – as Thereus transits Virgo during November & December.  Somebody’s making money & somebody’s losing their shirt as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. Who & who? Ask a lot of questions during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 – get a lot of correct answers after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. Then, update your plan & follow the smart money as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Idiots complain even louder during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December. Avoid them – you will have more than enough to consider because bosses will be pissed off at you as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Protect your interests during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021. Hold onto realtors’ phone numbers – but give it a rest during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. Now you know where you stand in relation to the bosses’ money during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December – and bosses notice that you have been paying attention. You can’t ask the same leading questions or direct the conversation with bosses & associates as you did earlier in the year during 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Moreover, bosses now make both the org chart & the physical infrastructure of the company impossible to visualize or to model, making it way too obtuse & unwieldy to observe as they withhold it permanently & aggressively from their employees as 2002-GZ32 transits Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. Diplomacy becomes necessary for survival. You cannot win any argument no matter whose side you take as Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021. Do not forget this fleeting moment – it should direct your behavior for the next twenty years. Otherwise, follow an extremely adept local blue blood cast in the role of lawyer or politician or public relations executive throughout 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. Minor obstacles to communication & discourse which allow you to take the easy & lazy way out during Jupiter in Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021 will punish you mercilessly throughout Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. Consciously develop more sophisticated discourse about politics, astrology or in another language or languages during Chiron in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021.   CANCER 2020   You learn – and like – who you are during the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020!  You are not so impressed with other people. The impersonal, control-freak, hyper-efficient, bottom-line approach which so many people refuse to question strikes you as an inhuman way to deal with people. Particularly when these people make a mistake – there is no reason to apologize, there is only a reason to correct errors – because that’s good business. Well, that’s good business to a Jeff Bezos Amabot with a market capitalization larger than some continents – but Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 remind you that such behavior is not good business to you. Spouse & business partners will talk & order & demand & will not listen to you during Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January. While there is no reason for you to tolerate this, you already put spouse & business partners through a recent temporary or permanent breakup. Luckily, a classy, well-educated and worthy friend or partner told you, “So what? There are lots of fish in the sea. Let’s go fishing!” during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. And you know what? They were right. Codfish and halibut! What a blast! In general, however, a spouse or new lover is even better than they look throughout Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. Therefore, simply in the interests of keeping the peace, rectify such imbalances sharply when spouse & business partners go beyond the pale during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February. Give the big drama a real rest. Give yourself truly ample time to consider the issue deeply. Whether your spouse or lover returned or returns or whatever fish you happen to catch, and whether you catch & release or choose to keep, realize the power of a spouse or lover – of any spouse or lover – to hurt you, because Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042 will repeatedly teach you that some people are truly perverse. Then, spouse & business partners make a dramatic demonstration in favor of religion as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February. Well, well. You intuit correctly that you have much more respect for spirituality & religion than your spouse & business partners as you feel overwhelmed by the flood of such sentiments, liturgy & rituals during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. Beware of anybody, spouse & business partners included, who addresses God as an equal. You really wonder where some people get off. Bosses make demands with obnoxious curses & insulting behavior as Chiron in Aries squares the North Node in Cancer in February & March. And it scares you how much self-esteem a politician, group leader or activist really has as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from February to September. These are valid questions: Why do they feel so good about themselves? Are they that egoistic – or are they that special? Conversely, and much more positively, many different powers that be who put in real time and profound levels of skilled labor and negotiations long before 2019 begin to launch extremely radical solutions to long-standing high financial, governmental and police problems during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020 so that the collapse of many different systems which occurred earlier in 2019 will never happen again. Still, you must deal with the manic egos of your spouse & business partners. “Woe is me!” as they cry poor as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June. (Sure they’re poor, sure – how poor?) Then, king of the world or queen of the prom, amongst all the other kings & queens, during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. Good for them. (Yawn.) But set your clock – it will become time to rectify that imbalance between you & your spouse or business partners during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. Back to that politician, group leader or activist. Do you or do you not have a spouse? Saturn in Aquarius from April through June, amongst other things, will, for Cancer the Crab especially, demonstrate the social pitfalls of homosexuality & homosexuality in politics. Knowing where you stand is less important than how you do or do not discuss these issues. Privacy is the best policy. In that context, distance yourself from people, especially smart people, who talk too much in order to mine or to glean as much information as possible, for whatever reason they want it, as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. They don’t need to know who you are or what you think – so give them no reason to think about you.  That politician, group leader or activist turns rather surly as they lose the glow of their self-esteem during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. The reactionary strain of mainstream politics surges to the forefront during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. On top of that, all sorts of people everywhere adopt a take-no-prisoners attitude during Mars in Aries from July through December. If you start an argument or a fight, it may last much longer than you originally intended. Keep yourself safe by retreating from aggression from the beginning. Bosses, authority figures, parents aggravate & complicate your relationships with spouse or business partners during 1999-OX3 in Aries square Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Realize that your spouse or business partners may not be at fault. Thieves double-cross & back-stab throughout the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021. This is a real problem for you. Cancer the Crab is not slick, but naïve & gullible. Realize that sexy members of the opposite gender can & will play you for a sucker for whatever they want to get from you during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June. Heed skepticism – whether you are sincerely skeptical or not. Catalogue mentally, or even on paper, the true motivations for your relationships with acquaintances or friends during Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July. Do not ignore your intuition about those whom you are too generously inclined to trust during Asbolus conjunct the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Realize that nobody is immune from total devastation as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021 – and, while the effect upon you may be only second-hand or derivative, it may nonetheless impact you significantly.   Spouse & business partners make another dramatic demonstration in favor of religion as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October. Is this devotion to religious real? What is real about it? Find out as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. But hold it a second. What about your spouse & business partners? What is real about your spouse & business partners? Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September wants to know if your spouse & business partners are the same persons that you knew back in the day at the beginning of your relationships. At the same time, the recent transit of the North Node through Cancer in your 1st house of self & identity now deeply informs an unprecedented level of self-knowledge & self-awareness during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. Your standards have become more demanding. Don’t be afraid to apply that heightened bar to your spouse & business partners. As bosses, authority figures, in-laws, cops & military personnel get arrogant, demanding & borderline violent as Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October, you come to conclusions about your spouse & business partners during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December. This informs what you plan to do during the new cycle – – but wait a minute! Spouse & business partners commence aggressive open hostilities with bosses, authority figures, in-laws, cops & military personnel as Mars squares Saturn during September. Bosses, authority figures, in-laws, cops & military personnel covertly take countermeasures as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October. Conflagrations openly escalate as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October. Are you a part of this? Is this a part of you? Is this about you? Should you stay or should you really go? Much depends upon who lied to whom during Elatus in Libra square Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. Your spouse or business partners either show their best side to you & the world, or a much better version of that spouse or business partner whom you have never met before impresses you immensely as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021.  Recall that catalogue that you made of the motivations of the various friends & acquaintances after Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 – before one or another of them may try to take advantage of your trusting nature after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. Remember: The secretive nature of your spouse or business partner during Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn during November makes you emotionally vulnerable. You may choose to reach out to the wrong person. As Sydney Omarr used to say, “Protect yourself in the emotional clinches!” Bosses redouble their extreme aggression during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December. In many cases, this causes injustices in the workplace, perhaps against you, during Neptune in Pisces square the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Stay out of the line of fire. To that end, realize during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween that your ability to make money lies with a self-esteem emanating from ongoing & habitually noble behavior. Ask questions of acquaintances & strangers about what they think & believe during Thereus in Virgo during November & December to determine whether you want to befriend them.  Spouse & business partners once again reassert their seemingly endless self-esteem during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December – but this could be the final straw. Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 indicates that you will not be willing to stay with a partner to whom you will hold a lower standard than yourself. Furthermore, you know what you want to do & why you want to do it with your money, skill & energy during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021 – and you want worthy support for it. The flip side: 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026 states that to fix what you perceive to be broken in your relationship may be harder than finding somebody new – and anybody new you might find will never, ever actually match your criteria for a relationship which has become ever more demanding. Consider settling with whom you have, with all their flaws. You now know why that politician, group leader or activist harbored such limitless self-esteem earlier in 2020 during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. Whether you admire, revile or ignore such people, you see their ascendency as a signal that you must begin to make many more decisions for yourself. But go slow – the twenty-year lesson beginning Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021 reminds you that even though you go it alone, you are not an island – others will feel the effects of your decisions, whether good, bad or indifferent. A better method: Plumb deep spiritual values through prayer & meditation as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Ask power brokers & bosses what they really want to do during Chiron in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. In this context, if you get drunk on freedom during Jupiter in Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021, expect harsh, protracted karmic payback during Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. Go slow!   LEO 2020   You don’t mind work. Work is a path to wealth and power – and you like wealth and power. Furthermore, with Capricorn ruling your 6th house of work, you often get to be the boss, training employees who will one day get to be bosses themselves. You work to gain wealth and power as you get the respect of bosses for being a boss and training bosses who all work to gain wealth and power. You like work. That being said, it is important, now and in the future, that you do not take the responsibility, honor and good will of your employees and colleagues for granted. Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042 denotes that relationships with employer, colleagues and employees will be much more adversarial. Open competition in the workplace, as well as covert competition, is based upon a divergence of financial interests. Don’t allow this to move forward on automatic pilot. Take heed. In this context, and for these reasons, you ask the same colleagues & employees the same questions & the same requests, and they answer & execute them, because, during Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January, you & they do the same thing you & they have always done. Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February is not just threatening to change all that: It is promising that it will all change. How? Won’t say – but in a big way. When? Not now. Truth be told, change is both sudden & protracted. Disturbingly, as the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020 progresses, you will be subject to too many people saying and doing too many things well beyond your ability to control them. Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 declare that all those new employees come with too many different types of ambitious personalities for even a skilled boss and manager like yourself to control. So there you have it. You know as little as everybody else during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. As a result, while everybody else walks around in a self-absorbed & confident daze, you alone feel uncomfortable. Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces in February suggests that such colleagues & employees never knew anything in the first place. Therefore, nothing has really changed. Their somnambulance, the same as it was last week, now bothers you. Good. You respect knowledge – as Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March reminds you, you will not arrive at your destination if you don’t know where you are going. You find that a lot more colleagues & employees with whom you work don’t really mind being in unfathomable ignorance. Ask them questions as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June. Really, how can these people ignore the fact that extremely radical far-reaching legislation, regulations and protocol enacted and put into place during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020 again changes the employment and financial landscape.? Find out who these blissfully ignorant people are. Blissful ignorance may be the flavor of the month, but its current popularity really doesn’t appeal to you at all. Employees may not notice during Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020, because they have jobs and they are busy. However, working harder for just as much pay does not appeal to you. Rely more heavily upon that intelligent, well-educated and worldly employee underemployed in their position during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020, perhaps to delegate and to supervise all other employees. Then, as if on cue, pure intelligence appears on television – or, better yet, walks into the office door – during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September. That’s more like it! You resolve then & there to get smarter, to augment your current intelligence in order to stand out from amongst the current motley crew during Saturn in Aquarius from April through June. Strangely, this doesn’t change one thing amongst all the people with whom you do business at work. Such colleagues & employees actually have very high self-esteem as they do the same things that they have always done during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. You think back to earlier in the year during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June & you wonder when all that inevitable change is going to make its way to your doorstep, workplace & planet. Whether via the person who showed up on television or walked in that office door, or from a rerun of The Twilight Zone, you get an answer that you simply did not expect or want to hear during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September, “Not now.” That does not matter. Continue to improve your intelligence & awareness via any method that you can afford to muster, including further education, during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. As a reward, you personally encounter a brilliant new intelligence during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June. However, it is unlikely that this person is what one would call a “friend.” Indeed, what this brilliant mind asserts about the ignorance that they see around them as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June really makes you wonder about the depth of their knowledge & intuition as their worldview seems more alien than shocking. Absorb what they say as they say it. Don’t be surprised if they disappear as quickly as they arrived. This individual heralds your new awareness & level of intelligence as they ascend to a different frequency of radar during the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021. Absorb new knowledge like a sponge in ice cold water as your burning passion for knowledge shines a targeted light in the darkness during Mars in Aries from July through December. Join workshops, meet like-minded brains & keep a journal where you brainstorm while integrating all your new knowledge as Echeclus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini during July. Write essays & short stories in that same notebook or on separate pads of paper that form new ideas derived from, yet radically dissimilar to, your current status, as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Then, when your old colleagues & employees comment about you, “That one really drank the Kool-Aid,” as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021, thank them – and thank God. (You will notice during Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces from July through October how much you have learned & how pathetically they continue to stagnate.) Realize, however, that many people, including at your workplace, resent your new ambitious intelligence as they form cliques which oppose you as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. Don’t just try to list who they are during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November: Determine the reasons why they try to alienate you. That future change to the professional workplace arrives with an aggressive vengeance as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Your fellow colleagues & employees will have none of it! These colleagues & employees continue to do the same old work that they have always done during Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September – and they will tell you that they are damn proud of it! That’s when things can begin to get ugly during Retrograde Mars in Aries from September through October. One or more colleagues or employees lie to you during Elatus in Libra square Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. For the most part, nobody else at work seems to notice during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December. Nevertheless, confrontations occur as Mars squares Saturn during September. The powers that be establish a plan & a strategy as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October. A brief war is launched & completed as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October. Noble leadership reestablishes primacy in the professional workplace as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Recall earlier in the year when you listed who opposed your newfound quest for knowledge & why during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021. You will meet a surprising like-minded soul with a story to tell after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. You will enjoy enhanced dignity & power during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween which will return & grow in 2021. Likewise, starting 2021, you will enjoy the pick of the litter of skilled employees, a preview of which you will enjoy during Thereus in Virgo during November & December. Be ready to make sudden moves as many employees & colleagues in your workplace plan exit strategies as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. Your recent passion for intellectual enlightenment impels you to close the door on all ugliness during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December. The ruthlessly ignorant refuse to cede you any territory whatsoever as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Be happy that you made as much progress as you did during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. Look forward to enhanced dignity as you adjust, temporarily, to the moribund power structure, as Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021. Then, opponents of change get what they demanded – and it doesn’t work well for them – during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December. That’s why the reemergence of that superior intelligence from earlier in the year – who will not be going away anytime soon – spells such hope for you as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. That promise of change was real & it commences during Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021 for twenty years. As for yourself, you have a choice of partners & paths: You can choose the partner or the path which champions the easy way & the low-hanging fruit as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021 or the partner or the path which champions the hard way & the permanent gains as Saturn transits Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. Invariably, those who bemoan the promised changes will latch onto the primrose path of the easy partner & easy path as they figure out a way to cheat as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. As you will be dealing with unprecedented, obtuse, unwieldy & complex workplace & personnel problems amongst the convoluted upgrades & wholesale modular displacement of 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026, you may want constant access to a taskmaster in order to pick their brains throughout Chiron in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021.   VIRGO 2020   Both parents, who endure the downside of high school & college athletic programs, and women, both married & single, who endure the downside of alpha males, suffer more than their fair share as Jupiter conjuncts the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January. The answer to the question is, “No, there is no reason to tolerate such bad behavior,” during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February. However, nobody has figured out what to do about redressing said bad behavior’s excesses – or punishing them. Now, testosterone, like estrogen, is not bad in and of itself – but too much of anything is no good. Furthermore, Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 rather obnoxiously asserts that testosterone should be out of style, but is not – a major reason you should heed much more closely the opinions of mothers, especially of teenagers, and all women, respectively, throughout the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020.  As became immediately obvious, if your teenagers behave themselves, they enjoy honor and glory, or, if your teenagers misbehave, they endure the concomitant opprobrium, as Jupiter transits Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. Invariably, the athlete or the alpha male seeks the sanction, forgiveness or protection of the wife, the mother, the girlfriend or the team as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February. However, during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023, the wife, the mother, the girlfriend & the team become a lot more vulnerable than the athlete or alpha males is willing to respect. If a well-admired teacher, authority figure or coach at the school is available, try to set an appointment with them during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. Any way you look at it, anticipate permanent, sometimes untested, radical changes to how law enforcement, the courts, vested sports leagues in high schools, colleges and universities and all academic institutions handle all disciplinary issues related to teenagers – particularly boys – during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. The concomitant backlash against long overdue & necessary social control can be very intense & well-deserved. Direct public rebuke by middle-aged mothers during Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March can be quite hostile & bitter. Short leash! One thing that this coach or teacher at the school might discuss are trends involving educating or coaching boys as a result of pressure from those who have financial interests in leading them in a very specific direction. The coach or teacher speaks philosophically, but the trend, which occurs during Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042, will be long-term. Your teenagers do not get their diplomas in a societal vacuum. On a much more evolved & much less bovine plane, stellar, rapid technical innovations at work have not been nearly as exciting since at least the mid-Nineties. The sophistication of new employees & the trends which integrate old school brick-and-mortar with forward-thinking technology during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September tantalize your own, and your company’s, long-term ambition. Learn what you need to know during the sport space of Saturn in Aquarius from April through June so that you will not only be able to keep up, but so that you will be able to deploy your fastest guns to your most important – and potentially lucrative – tasks. The confidence of student athletes & alpha males, both in & out of your family, and in society at large, grows to gargantuan & megalomaniacal proportions as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus conjuncts 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. However, the exterior reality may not reflect the interior reality. Ask questions & probe deeper as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June, to determine if all this bravado & bluster is nothing more than an “eminence front.” As for yourself, extreme ambition & confidence piques you – but keep your ego firmly in check. The process whereby the new technologies & the new super skilled novice integrates with the established way of doing business commences during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. Some will not make it through this phase, as Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September suggests that some people, whether old or young, remain doggedly, inflexibly opposed to change. Don’t be so fixed in your ways. Learn to adapt. Student athletes & alpha males puff up their chests with that strange combination of bravado & defensiveness during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. They attempt to intimidate ghosts. Ultimately, a lot less slack exists for such student athletes, alpha males or anybody else to maneuver during the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021. Particularly in the career sector, life becomes a lot more black-and-white, yes or no, in or out – outright binary. One such sudden unprecedented binary decision during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June catches many people completely off-guard. Many will be in denial until they learn that this is really the new order. As the shock of that sudden, unprecedented binary decision fades, bosses, spouse & partners posit, absorb the details of, and become outright hypnotized by the macroeconomic reality of their job, business or industry sector as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. If you can discern the vicissitudes of high finance, make moves according to your well-honed instinct as Echeclus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini during July. Look at the downside not only of such investments but of various weaknesses & vulnerabilities of life in general as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Consider the many worst-case scenarios that will come to pass as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Student athletes & alpha males can no longer dismiss public criticism or unfair bias after a series of vandalizations & burglaries of buildings in your local area point to their direct involvement as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Therefore, instruct spouse & business partners to cooperate with such institutions without demonstrating defensiveness as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. That vandalism, those burglaries & other crimes continue during Mars in Aries from July through December. If those student athletes & alpha males were, and were proven, innocent, then that positive ideal of “the team” may prove to be a reality during Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces from July through October – particularly if those student athletes & alpha males encounter an older-than-their-age sage, mentor or role model during Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. However, even if those student athletes & alpha males were, and were proven, innocent, those student athletes & alpha males debase into a sullen, unusually hostile rage during Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October, believing themselves to be victims of bias & discrimination. Enlightened women who consider the potential for overreaction against such student athletes & alpha males will redress their hyper-righteous worldview opposing drunk drivers, date rapes & reckless teenage behavior during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. However, male authority figures, particularly coaches, will become much harsher & demanding during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December, “You are not victims – you are role models. Stop crying & act like men!” A partner or close companion of you or your student athlete or alpha male child who lies to authority figures commences holy war as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. Harsh initial punishments as Mars squares Saturn during September. Announcements of investigations as Retrograde Mars square Pluto in early October. A public relations backlash as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October. Ugly! With circumstances surrounding crime, student athletes & alpha males turning ugly so quickly, the local political sentiment during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 reminds you that snap judgments dividing black from white may dictate life-or-death or freedom-or-prison circumstances – especially after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. In such an environment, the bias goes against the individuals who stood out from the herd of the group, no matter the sociological profile of those individuals – there are therefore no heroes as Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween. You therefore see how important it is to sit back & to wait as you scope out a situation to determine what you want from it during Thereus in Virgo during November & December – but you must realize that this is not a capacity that you will be able to employ at length in the short term. Keep in mind what you learn in this situation for sometime next year. In the end, a noble, blue-blooded coach or clean-cut star player amongst student athletes or alpha males imparts a positive message about recent unhappy circumstances as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Thereafter, teammates regroup in private with leadership during Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn during November to forge a statement towards those in the community who feel betrayed during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 – and to highlight the actions of a hero, even if that hero is a youngster who died at a tragic young age of a lethal disease, during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. Why? Because Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December indicates that those who have wanted to punish the bad behavior of student athletes & alpha males for many a moon have discovered an appropriate way to do so. Of course, the vandalism, burglary & all other crime will continue, unabated or accelerated, during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December, but student athletes & alpha males will no longer harbor any illusions about the boundary lines between them & crime that they absolutely must obey. Athletic coaches, parents: Restrain your team, spouse & family members from aggravating school administrators, cops & other authority figures to beg them to change or, worse yet, to dismiss, their decisions as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Instead, gather together for meetings to channel harsh emotions as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Think much more clearly about what upcoming student athletes will have to endure next during 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. Those dazzling, accelerated opportunities to upgrade the technology of the professional workplace reoccurs, this time to stay, as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. However, what seems inevitable will not happen immediately as disputes exist about where to go, how fast & with what during Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021. This may seem like a short-term dispute, but it really represents a twenty-year trajectory. Those who want more immediate gains will favor launching quickly as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021, believing that ad hoc changes along the way will be enough. Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023 favors the step-by-step monotony of perfection so that there will never be a reason to stop & to go backward, to recall profit, to reimburse customers & to pay regulatory fines. Of course, the former will do whatever they want & the latter will take over, pay the price & drive the train thereafter. Study regulatory safeguards as Chiron in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. Choose your own team for the long term.   LIBRA 2020   Idealism does not represent the current zeitgeist – “disillusionment” does. Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 assert mercilessly that people – especially people in power, politicians, business leaders, educators, cops – will not live up to their best selves. They will disappoint, they will lie, sin and break laws. They will horrify. Now, as much as the private sector favors progress & advancement, the public sector emphasizes inertia & hierarchy – and never more so than under Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January. You really cannot help but wonder why, as the public sector prepares to get struck by lightning during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February. “We have our supporters,” the political old guard insists as Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces in February. But the younger amongst, or, more likely, on the periphery of, these supporters, realize how vulnerable both they & their elders are as Okyrhoe transits Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. Private sector civic leaders will ask questions of such public sector politicians to determine which elected officials use the weaknesses of their constituencies to project their own strengths, which they shamelessly inflate, then misrepresent, as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June. For all these reasons, the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020 demands that you keep your finger on the public pulse. Many other people do not share your criteria and values regarding how other people behave. A lot of stuff is happening that can, if you let it, break your heart. Somebody in your family unaccustomed to suffering now suffers. Affluent parts of your city now appear destitute. Why? A noble, respected prominent local citizen knows why. Listen during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020 – they may give you insight into all sorts of problems just starting or about to happen. What that noble, respected prominent local citizen describes is something that they have seen before. If you ask the right question, that noble, respected prominent local citizen will tell you what they have not seen before – which is the key to understanding Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042. You know you are on the right track when that noble, respected prominent local citizen replies to your direct question, “Your guess is as good as mine.” Keep all your commentary on that private – because no such commentary will help you. You really have your own political ambitions. Indeed, whether you are or somebody else is a button-down, brilliantly progressive star candidate at the top of the ticket during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September or the power behind the aspirant to such throne or a minor player on the same ticket during Saturn in Aquarius from April through June, you have to use all your available resources to put your best foot forward to the public. Keep your own counsel as others come around to get you to help them keep their secrets. While in discussions therein, you or other like-minded types mention the necessity for holding the thugs, the thieves and the animals accountable as Jupiter transits Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. You learn, thereupon, that power brokers and public policy types light years beyond you are launching extremely radical and permanently peremptory media, rules, regulations, systems and perhaps even currencies to hold people accountable during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. To that end, you must allow the political old guard public sector to behave crudely, meanly & belligerently like the atavistic jerks that they choose to be as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus conjuncts 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March.  Restrain business partners from aggravating bosses, clients & authority figures as Chiron in Aries squares the North Node in Cancer in February & March. Again, those atavistic jerks within the political old guard do not see the lightning which will soon strike them as they continue to deal with your bosses & the entire private sector in the exact same way – with confidence! – as Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. Indeed, for the short term, they have a point. A progressive message won’t fly as well during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. Determine the two most polarized endpoints to which the uninformed & highly emotional public opinion will swing along the pendulum of strongly biased groupmind as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. Also, there is a lot of organizing for you & your team to do during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September before you all hit crunch time. When unexpected news, perhaps involving a legal discussion involving a woman or sexual harassment – whether the said news is good or bad – emerges, it turns the tables on your political stance as Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June. While you can move past such incremental table-turning here in the beginning, the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 declares, because this will be the sole modus operandi for so many people, that you must be ready to play that game proactively before somebody else puts you behind the eight ball. A little homework goes a long way. Determining each side of every legal dispute, philosophical argument or political ideology during Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July will protect you from those who intend to double-cross you from your blind side. Identify hypothetical worst-case legal decisions & public relations nightmares as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October to prepare your responses proactively. Informal discussions with & formal polling of the great unwashed masses during 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces from July through September will help you identify what constitutes “kryptonite” for various public figures. Finally, identify what will sink the ship later in the year as 1996-TL66 conjunct the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021 so that you can prepare the best defense of all: Ruthless, extremely aggressive & high-scoring offense. Your professional allies & political operatives declare war on the political old guard as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Partners follow up with aggressive moves, and you make aggressive moves through partners, during Mars in Aries from July through December. The political old guard matches you blow for blow as they remain in close touch with their natural constituency as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October. Accept that you will probably lose ground as the political old guard operates at peak efficiency like a well-oiled machine as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. Don’t panic as you & your partner are forced to face mistakes of the remote past during Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October. You knew that your rivals would eventually identify & exploit those mistakes, and they will be on-time with the next phase of their take-no-prisoners strategy during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December – especially when you enforce contracts with them that they (will try to) refuse to honor as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. Opponents will have two hard punches, one at the beginning & one at the end, with a bunch of body blows to weaken your resistance in-between. These opponents really want to knock you out straight to the mat as Mars squares Saturn during September – prepare for it. All their other moves, overt & covert, are meant to psyche you out & to wear you down as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October. Finally, these opponents expect to finish you completely as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October – if they don’t knock you down then, you will have as good as won. Elasticity & resilience are the keys to victory. What disgusts you most is that your opponents attempt to make these battles ignoble. In these terms, let them do whatever they will do. Identify what you want to do in the most straightforward & innocent terms during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. That way, it won’t matter how much conniving cunning the political old guard cooks up as they regroup during Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn in November. You will attract allies who prefer heroism over stealth during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween. And, deep in your psyche, you will now that there are right & wrong ways to do things during Thereus in Virgo during November & December. Unfortunately, the bad faith & corruption of colleagues & employees cause a stink as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Execute damage control quickly so that the bad news does not spread too quickly too fast. A big surprise boost happens for your side when an elder statesman for your opponents – who, despite their alliances, sports a clean reputation – speaks very well of you as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Now, after you have survived the onslaught of opposition by the political old guard, partners more forward aggressively during Direct Motion Mars in Aries in December. Refer back to that list where you catalogued every legal dispute, philosophical argument or political ideology during July as opponents do their shuck & jive against you during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 – then double up the pace after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. At the same time, the power of your innocence shows through as Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 – and you feel the power of your inherent heroism & the inherent heroism of your allies during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. Lightning finally strikes the political old guard – but they refuse to believe it – during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December. However, this does not denote immediate victory for you. Determine who is on your opponent’s side & who is on yours is the result of polling as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Whatever these results may be, your agenda may, and most likely will, win popular support during Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021. While such popular support commences a twenty-year trend, in the short term, too many countervailing forces cancel each other out. The brilliant mind at the top of the political ticket will be around for quite a while as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029, but most of what they hope to achieve will come through votes – all of their agenda requires them to talk down to those who will not understand it. So-called allies will seek self-destructive short cuts as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021. The political old guard will turn horrifically obstructionist, just like Mitch McConnell, as 2002-GZ32 transits Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. It is up to you to find the correct yet hard way to do things during Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023 – and partners working with you will have to find ways to make the hard way work both in practice & in public relations during Chiron in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021.     SCORPIO 2020   Some people really are absolute total jerks. These people behave like total jerks to get what they want, then leverage their jerk behavior to get even more. Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 declares that there are more of these jerks in and around you than ever before. Boy, do you hate them! And they don’t like you. The sound of your voice & the sight of your email address in a recipient’s email box absolutely exhausts them now – particularly if you are the boss. Those who work with you know you too well – and, because of Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January, they don’t expect the best from you. Are the histrionics of employees, colleagues, vendors, merchants or customers justified? Hard to say. Send a savvy, firm proxy to appraise the situation during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. But none of this is good – and none of it is funny! You were all prepared to laugh about your friends’ stupid behavior and now you are contemplating the human condition. The North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020 is forcing you to consider and to acknowledge that something is seriously wrong – and is demanding that you find out what it is before it is too late. Whether or not your proxy regains control for you does not matter. The immediate crisis may be ended, but the lesson learned and the tactics cultivated by your opponents now will undergo reflection and gestation for reemergence over the long term of Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042. Be ever alert for those determined to cause you trouble. Of course, those who love you, love you to death – and they will tell you so as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February. Even so, A bad reputation of asserting instructions & opinions harshly & autocratically puts you in a precarious legal position during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February. Colleagues & employees not so charmed by you will file reports & complaints against you as Chiron in Aries squares the North Node in Cancer in February & March. And even amongst those who adore you – many of them, especially the younger ones, are really fragile as Okyrhoe transits Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. Luckily, business flows in such a way during Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020 wherein you deal with very few of the hands-on details. More spectacularly, profoundly radical core upgrades to all sorts of business and technological infrastructures internally and worldwide during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020 accelerate the flow of energy and information to the point where it is almost electric. Transformation flows. New people mean big changes to your local area. The arrival of a distinguished personage or the rise of a new blue-blooded politician or real-estate developer as 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September promises to transform the local area over the next decade. It is no exaggeration that the majority of your local area expects you to support this new personage unconditionally during Saturn in Aquarius from April through June. Making complaints about how the general public overtly disrespects all that you have to say as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June will only turn the legal authorities that you need on your side against you.  But you act as if you could care less. You have so many people with whom you have dealings and so little time that you let more of them know, upfront, “Put up or shut up,” during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March than you really should – for your own long-term survival. Indeed, during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June, lawyers who call you up, call you a jerk, and then explain the reason that they call – that it may be legal to be a jerk, but not your particular style of jerk – are telling you to tone down your act, or else. The fact that local conditions seem to calm you down can lead you into a treacherously false sense of security. Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June insists that planned changes have not been cancelled, but postponed – quite possibly for public relations reasons. The personage of your local region’s future goes below the radar during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. Be careful that you don’t fall back into self-righteous old habits by asserting instructions & opinions harshly & autocratically, and sometimes berating others by yelling in their faces, during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September – others will take note of each & every time you violate what they deem to be legally unacceptable professional behavior. Don’t take this lightly. Although you personally feel that everybody must tolerate the threshold of bad behavior that you have established as a baseline norm, Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces during May & June instead emphatically warns that what you are really doing is laying the groundwork where somebody could outright lie about something that you never actually did to them – because everybody will want to believe that you are guilty. And guilty you will be. Don’t misinterpret the danger signs – the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 demands that you change your ways. You’ve gotten away with bad behavior for a long time & therefore feel that you should be entitled to get away with it forever – but one strike against you sets a precedent. Once that happens, the legal dynamic changes. Consider how many undeclared enemies who are too afraid to challenge you personally or in court would be willing to change their current public position about you as Echeclus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini during July. Who amongst them have the capacity to make you look extremely bad as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October? Is there anybody amongst them lurking in the background who will, after you suffer one or two key defeats, attempt to bring you down completely later in the year as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021?  You congratulate yourself that the same people who love you for who you are still love you. However, even though Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces from July through October confirms that such sentiments are true, you are allowing their unconditional love to help you deceive yourself about the truth of your situation – especially if you get into a confrontation with another truly hot-headed colleague or employee as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Aggressive, most likely young alpha male employees with high-self esteem commence employment at your firm during Mars in Aries from July through December. If you have not changed your ways, the timing of such hires will be particularly hard for you, as you will exhibit some of the most unprofessional behavior of your life as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. This new employee will then follow a course of action during Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October which you will be unable to stop or oppose & which will bring you down once you try to demand that they cease & desist, or else. You will have no excuse. What you really need is the advice of one of these people who adore you about how to handle new manipulative colleagues or employees as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. You are not helpless – you just need somebody who knows you well to form your current strategy in this particular situation. Meet with in-house counsel or another lawyer as Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. Determine the truth of your situation, the full extent of your liability, the genuine depth of your culpability – and what you should do, going forward. Unless you have a real plan, you will spend Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December reacting to what others, including these new employees, do, rather than acting. Any confrontation you have with said individuals during Mars square Saturn during September is a loss for you. It does not matter how brazen or egregious the lies that this individual told are as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October – if you confront them, you lose. Work behind the scenes & through channels. Following that or each confrontation, any action you take in the workplace can & will be interpreted as discrimination against these new employees as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October. Another confrontation with those same or other such employees as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October is outright explicit professional suicide. Concurrently, a new authority figure, whether law enforcement, regulator or boss, ascends to the helm with a regal bearing of true dignity during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween. A new professional ally who is able to contend with your opponents in a bloodless & calculating fashion emerges during Thereus in Virgo during November & December – if you are smart, you will partner up with them so that they can save you from yourself. Stay out of the workplace completely as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. Have a noble, even-tempered & well-respected proxy to do your bidding in your place as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. After Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December, you will not be present to set yourself as the target of anybody else’s wrath. Those who love you to death sign your praises to the sky while your enemies spit in the wind out of pure disrespect as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. That recently appointed new authority figure, whether law enforcement, regulator or boss, will represent you extremely well throughout Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 to that new professional ally in your absence during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. For your own part, you must look at yourself & your behavior through the eyes of a prosecutor litigating against you during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 so that you will be able to fathom & to strategize against hidden undeclared enemies coming forward after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. If nobody can make any new complaints against you during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December, you may survive the current cycle – but will you still have enough influence to champion the new kingpin or queenpin as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029? They may not seem like an otherworldly rock star with their election results & poll numbers as Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021, but get real & face the facts: This commences the next twenty-year cycle: This is the changing of the guard. Don’t blow your dwindled political capital making mistakes during the beginning of their reign as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021 – you will deplete yourself. Do & say nothing – you will still get tons of attention from those who want to know the reason why you are remaining so quiet. Those who love you will bolster your weak legal position as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Simultaneously, set up a whole system of delegation that will confuse aficionados of org charts so as to dispatch your orders with accuracy as well as alacrity as 2002-GZ32 transits Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. Hang in the deep background & build that political capital slowly during Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023 as you use that convoluted system of delegation to control & to collar the troublemakers as Chiron in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021.   SAGITTARIUS 2020   Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January denotes bluntly that you have money – plenty of money. You may object that you are not rich, but you do have more money that you need. So you are rich. Sovereignty will prove your salvation. Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 declares that an ostensible primrose path to prosperity, wealth and peace ranged wide indeed, attracting all sorts of people with possibilities that seemed to entice them and them alone. Such path is proving to be an illusion. Coordinate with a long-time partner to take advantage of this largess of carrion during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. Finally, because you see vice as another layer of illusion, after you have already rejected the illusion of false success, you must come to terms with your deepest feelings, regardless of what everybody else in the world is doing, sometime during the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020, in order to move forward on your own path, alone. Bluntly, your financial situation improves greatly as long as you stay on the right side of, and enforce, the law, as Jupiter transits Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. Now, you think of buying property (or some other big-ticket item, but stick with property – you don’t need a yacht), and, all of a sudden, you could have no money. And Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February adds that if you sign on all the dotted lines, you will have no money & you will be in debt. Slow down, cowpoke. Enjoy the money you have by continuing to have the money. If you must spend money, buy a new rug for your apartment or retile your kitchen as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February. Buy two new pairs of shoes for your kids, nieces or nephews – comfortable & stylish feet will give them more confidence as Okyrhoe transits Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. And they’ll feel rich. Feeling rich & being rich: The ley lies in being happy as you live within your means. If you want to film a movie or race a Porsche, but don’t have the money, as you might during Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March, you will not feel rich. If you go to a bank for a mortgage & they demand that you put down a 40% instead of a 20% down-payment as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June, you will not feel rich. Conversely, if you continue to accumulate crazy amounts of money without spending it during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March, you will feel rich – and, most likely, you will be rich, because you will have more than you need. You are entitled to feel rich subjectively as long as you observe your own financial & business trends objectively. Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042 demands that you develop cognizance that somebody’s money may be no good. Some people break regulatory codes. Some launder money. You might carry counterfeit cash in your wallet and not even know it. Banks are not immune. Honor your objectivity at all times – worldwide permanent peremptory changes in economic policies, financial regulations and banking law during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020 make your ability to stay on the right side of the law either effortless or impossible. Get savvy quickly. Money isn’t everything! Damnit, you need a good laugh. If possible, go to a comedy club to see whom you understand to be the funniest person in the world – even if you have to travel to do it – as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from February to September. If they don’t absolutely kill you with hilarity, go up on stage & grab the microphone, “You’re not funny!” Then . . . do your thing. Nobody laughed at your jokes – but they did laugh when the police pulled you off-stage. Well, that just goes to show that making people laugh isn’t as easy as it sounds. Saturn in Aquarius from April through June emphasizes, whether for public speaking, music, or stand-up comedy, amongst other things. . . . practice makes perfect. You feel even richer, but you feel even more tempted to buy that property or big-ticket item, during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. Your temptation to lay out the money makes you feel less rich. However, if you have all that money & feel rich enough, you will have time – time not only to practice that musical instrument, public speaking or stand-up comedy act during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September, but to study the real geniuses you wish to emulate & to surpass during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September.  Great plan – what could possibly go wrong? Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June replies, “Marital problems – or, worse yet, non-marital relationship problems.” Don’t you dare laugh – Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces during May & June warns that a truly ugly potential scenario is not a stand-up comedy routine just yet. In case you missed the message, the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 is telling you now that you need a mate – and that you need a mate to be happy – to keep trouble of your life. Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July prescribes some very basic first steps. If married, figure out what makes your mate happy or unhappy. If single, determine, with some degree of specificity, what you want from a mate. Then, determine what you should never, ever say or do to such mate or potential mate as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October – and determine what you will never tolerate from such mate or potential mate. Then, ask yourself, “What is the absolute best & absolute worst that can happen to me & to us with such mate or potential mate?” as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Suddenly, a real test (even if you are making money hand over fist ) as to whether you feel or do not feel rich arises as you really, really want something very badly as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. While this involves creative inspiration, sex, romance, children, travel, whatever – your pure desire for what you want can burn through boatloads of cash as Mars in Aries from July through December. Before you go crazy spending all that money, determine first if you need another rug for your home or some explicit home improvement as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October. Also, determine if your family needs rather expensive healthcare, including braces or specialized tutors & teachers as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. But back to you. No matter how much money you really have, you will feel that you don’t have enough money as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. While this isn’t a problem in itself, it becomes a problem if you haven’t found a way to pursue what you really want before the fall, as Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October can make you prey to expensive & dangerous addictions, including drag-racing, cocaine & illicit sex, to try to fill that spiritual void that you have let grow beyond control.  During Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December, you must admit to yourself that you really want something, and that you will set aside real money to pursue it. Consider taking a secured loan from a local bank so that you will have a plan to spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in one shot. Hold the money as you shop to determine how much the best of what you want will really cost as Mars squares Saturn during September. Exercise all reasonable doubt as you still hold the check for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars that you just borrowed at low interest as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October. Make plans to make two payments at a time to accelerate satisfaction of the debt. Spent that money & buy it as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October! Beware identify theft or credit card fraud as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. Listen to different lectures & podcasts about money & financial experts about how to spend money using credit cards or on large-scale purchases as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Money continues to pile up – perhaps even at an accelerated or exponential rate – as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. If so, don’t just make double payments on that loan – make quadruple placements. That loan will make your credit look better than ever, and you will be receiving all sorts of offers during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. Don’t reject those offers out of hand – they may provide you opportunities for you to get what you really want. A stunning academic or literary achievement can put you in a different league during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween. This may put you in line with a promotion for the ages during Thereus in Virgo during November & December. Keeping your finances firmly in line will give you all the time you need to review some of those outstanding opportunities for what they are really worth. Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December signifies that, while you haven’t completely secured what you really wanted, you have taken steps towards it – and, if you did it wisely, you did it without breaking the bank. Really, if you have doubled your net worth during the year, then maybe you can take that risk & lay down a big, fat down-payment on property during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December – and still feel rich? Maybe. Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 wants to know how much the rest of that house costs after you plop down that down-payment. Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021 wants to know how long you will have to wait before securing that inevitable promotion. More importantly, however: Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 really wants to include the physical & psychological needs of your spouse or potential spouse as you accumulate all this money, points & perks. Indeed, without telling this spouse or potential spouse . . . everything . . . about your personal finances, Retrograde Echeclus reentering Gemini just before December advises that you talk to them about one or another such reward program or bank loan. It may help your romantic relationship in both the short term & the long term. Your extended family & your mate or potential mate clash as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Solve this problem. Ask penetrating questions during 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Now, as you continued to practice playing your instrument, public speaking or stand-up comedy, you get more & more chances to see the elite of such endeavors – of which you have become one – as 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. (Or not . . . yet.) Don’t expect too much of yourself as Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021 – this is much more of an announcement to the public that they will see you again & again & again for the next twenty years. (Unless you take all the short-term easy money as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021, then bomb & flame out before you are ready.) Continue to do all due homework throughout Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. Hone your craft. Learn from masters serving as personal mentors as Chiron in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. All of this will cost more dollars, American Express points, hotel rewards points & frequent flyer miles than you had originally anticipated. You have voluminous & variegated resources at your disposal during 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026 because you, your finances, your spouse (Congratulations!) & even your pets (Ruff! Meow!) require infrastructure. Waste not one centavo. CAPRICORN 2020   Throughout the seemingly never-ending onslaught that is Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020, the forces of nature, the international capital markets, the United States of America, the social consequences of climate change, homelessness, the police, Fox News, CNN and the ACLU may all try not only to challenge your control, but may indeed try to knock you off-balance, hoping to knock you off your feet so that you fall flat on your face, causing you so much direct personal pain that you become numb to embarrassment or humiliation. This is why you hate yourself as you look at yourself in the mirror. During Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January, you believe that, for all your success, you’re boring, older & not fulfilling potential which has burned inside you since birth. Your spouse hates you as your spouse looks at you during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February because you have become such a narcissistic drama unto yourself that you pay no attention . . . to your spouse. It's not just you & it’s not your fault. You can give wisdom & good advice selflessly during Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces in February & they love you for it. You demonstrate the nobility of a well-educated heritage during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. But the wisdom & good advice that you give you can only give to total strangers – you can’t give too much of your self away as Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023 because, spiritually, it will deplete you. And you cannot give such emotional substance to your family – your spouse & your family are so damn angry & fighting one another as Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March. The irony of this is that you never thought of yourself as a martyr – the pay is terrible! However, your experience during 2019, as well as Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042, intend to teach you what it took people in the Eighties nearly twenty years to learn: The one who dies with the most toys . . . wins absolutely nothing. Until the future manifests itself, you must maintain good relations with the people in and around you right now. Indeed, public response to the leadership and decisions you make represent the most important upcoming lesson of the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020. People look up to you to determine how they should behave; ruthlessly pursuing your own self-interest will not only set a bad tone but could easily backfire. As the fog lifts, overt and aggressive competitors try to knock you off-balance as Mars transits Scorpio during December – but the smart money knows that you hold the advantage as they line up behind you throughout Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020! Then spectacularly, whether miraculously or cataclysmically, the extremely far-reaching, regulatory and spiritual changes concomitant with Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020 influence you on a personal level, like being struck by lightning while making a speech on television. You are ready for the future. A visionary politician or a new political ideal that levels the partisan playing field during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September augurs that remote future. There are so many other people who feel the same way as you during Jupiter conjunct Amycus conjunct 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March, and you all want a place to put your energy – without necessarily making a “partisan political investment.” It’s not the Democrats or the Republicans, it’s not the fate of the country – it is how you deal with your own humanity as you look at yourself in that mirror. That politician or ideal sound great – but it’s a hard talk to walk. Spouse, business partners & rivals ask very pointed, sometimes intrusive questions to find out where you really stand as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June – but all that you can tell them is that you feel vulnerable as you have become a work in progress. Don’t worry – Saturn in Aquarius from April through June confirms that such language about being a “work in progress” is true. Walking that talk requires practice. Not that your spouse will show you any mercy at Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. Just tell your spouse the truth, “I fell like I live my life like an empty bottle of beer.” Don’t ask for mercy – state where you are & why.  Make a realistic assessment of yourself. You are not going to walk the talk of that politician or ideal overnight – you must mull over & practice, practice, practice during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. However, a lot of that practice involves getting rid of what hasn’t worked for you in the past five years during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. First things first. You need more air in your lungs & brain. If you cough, cough, cough, cough, cough during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June – guess what? Your lifestyle is unhealthy. Greed is also not good – people will try to steal from your company or you if they feel that you are getting more than your fair share – a reality which will become disturbingly apparent as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. The North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 announces this in basic terms: You need air & you need to get rid of envy which breeds theft. Hire a personal trainer during Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July to get a full rundown of all that you can do to augment the current amount of air in your brains & lungs as you simultaneously review all the employees & colleagues in your professional workplace to gauge interpersonal toxicity. Gauge the amount of damage that you can do to yourself if you do not exercise or if you do not redress workplace negativity as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Realize that a refusal to make changes can manifest in horrific worst-case scenarios as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. A person to whom you give warm advice & support as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October can help you in your relationship with your spouse by insisting that they see a different side of your personality as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September. Inner rage becomes a real problem during Mars in Aries from July through December. An angry episode amongst your entire nuclear family can cause a domestic violence police report that serves nobody in your family – no matter if anybody had or had not actually behaved violently – as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Furthermore – frankly – you have no idea how scary you appear to others as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. Tone it down sooner rather than later. Because this is easier said than done, you must do it sooner rather than later to ensure that any escalation of your temper still falls well within society’s legal limits. Don’t kid yourself: Your anger may know no boundaries after bosses lie to you during Elatus in Libra square Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October – but you must keep that anger in a jail cell in the middle of your belly without getting an ulcer. If you don’t, the disjunctive effect of Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October, wherein you blame your second ex-wife because your first girlfriend broke up with you after her junior prom, will provoke your temper beyond your ability to control.it. Much depends upon how much you trust, and upon how much you can rely upon, your spouse, as Echeclus transits Cancer from September through November. Look beyond the fact that they treat you unkindly when you do not live up to their expectations. Do they come through for you when you need it, despite your less-than-perfect self? You will need their help. Chewing gum & speaking in a barely audible whisper during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December helps you to control a tornado of rage building within your body. An angry family member or local neighbor may feel deeply intimidated because you sound like a Hollywood mafioso as Mars squares Saturn during September, but as long as you don’t threaten anybody, there is no law which prevents you from speaking in a quiet voice. Distance yourself from this angry family member or local neighbor as you gauge what it is that they are really trying to do as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October. Have somebody on hand to intervene – ideally, an off-duty cop – as that angry family member or local neighbor makes an aggressive & manipulative power move against you as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October. Start a winning streak for yourself by putting your absolute best foot forward as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Any way that you look at it, and in every situation: The more self-control you exhibit, the more power you will feel as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. Power? Great! How’s your health? Is your spouse saying, “Oh! You’re losing weight!” (whether you are or not) during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021? Are you able to (walk) (run) (bike) three miles instead of one on a daily basis after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December? (Ex‑)(S)(s)mokers: Are you coughing coughing coughing coughing coughing coughing? Ideally, you will have behaved in ways & led your family to quell all anger before Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December. Why? Because you may have determined during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween that the solution to the problem might be a bigger house, or perhaps, during Thereus in Virgo during November & December, in a different city. However, in order for your spouse & your family to get on board with you, for now & for the long-term, they must trust that you have got your act together. Buy home surveillance equipment, and, if you are a merchant or retailer, stifle large-scale retail theft mercilessly, to the fullest extent of the law, with armed security on hand, as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. Because your spouse or business partner now has more confidence in you, they want to see if you are for real during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December. The best way to do this: Tell your spouse what they must do to make all your big dreams happen during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021. Explain how much debt you both must eliminate by the end of Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. And don’t forget to ask your spouse if your spouse has seen or spoken with that key mutual friend who spoke so well of you earlier in the year as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Not easy. But, by the time that Jupiter conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021, you are beginning to walk that talk of that politician or ideal from early in 2020. It looks ugly & green to you in the beginning, but that’s okay – you will have twenty years to practice. Really, what looks ugly & green to you are merely questions of style – 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029 confirms that all your hard work in learning the substance of that visionary politician’s or new political ideal’s message has paid off – and will continue to pay off in spades. Practice walking that talk only in private as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021. Discuss the nuts & bolts of that politician or ideal with a savvy mentor or like mind as Chiron in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. Know when it is important to show what you know or to remain silent throughout Saturn in Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023. All of this is easier said than done. You have gone through myriad personality & identity transformations since 1984, but, during 2002-GZ32 in Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026, you become an obtuse physical obstruction – to yourself! You are going to get in your own way. Identify the symptoms before they impede you.   AQUARIUS 2020   You ask the person in the office next to you, “Doesn’t the office smell bad?” That person looks at you & scoffs, “Smells the same to me.” Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January claims that you are both correct. Your office smells bad because your office smells the same. Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020 unequivocally confirm that you have been living in a societal or economic construct of some other individual or social group’s worldview for far too long. A converse flip side is much more useful: The North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020 demonstrates proof that people pursue the cold hard dollar because they need it – even though they would rather be doing something else. Do you need that cold, hard dollar? Would you like to, and can you now, do something else? Then for lunch you do an outstanding Tai or Indian restaurant with all sorts of pungent aromas – and you state, in a not necessarily flattering way, “Intense aromas in here,” during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February. Your friends & colleagues will wonder, “Why does your nose have all these complaints?” as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February. Then, an enormous, radical, widespread and peremptory innovation, which had proved intolerable before it was summarily destroyed earlier in 2019, is fixed with 22nd century brilliant and humane upgrades during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. Let the newness of it all dazzle you, but don’t try to master all the bells and whistles yet. After all, it may be the most fascinating office gadget in the history of the world – but it is still an office gadget. The truth: You need air. Aquarius is an air sign – you can’t carry all that water if you aren’t getting your share of clean air in your brain & your lungs! But, in that, you are alone (for now). Sorry – all your friends & colleagues are sitting around that lunchroom or restaurant table wondering if all this bourgeois luxury is going to fade away right in front of their eyes during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. As for you, you’ve already spoken truth to power – and you are proven right. Is it more important than a hill of beans? Ask that like-minded, noble, well-educated kindred spirit behind the scenes in your same dystopian bureaucracy for ideological and public relations advice during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. Truth be told, you & your fellow Aquarians are having visions that other people simply cannot see as 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September. Aquarians are supposed to be futuristic, progressive & visionary, but all this is happening to you, rather than being generated by you, during Saturn in Aquarius from April through June – and people don’t know how to respond. You have no answer for them. So! Survival of the fittest in a Hobbesian universe returns by popular demand during December – but you’ll keep busy away from the bloodiest action during Jupiter in Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020. The best that you can do, under the circumstances, is to eat a steaming hot bowl of extra spicy Tom Yum tai soup, inducing you to sneeze uncontrollably as you befoul three handkerchiefs, as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June, until one of your friends or colleagues ask, “Jesus Christ, are you okay?” To which you will reply, truthfully, “Never felt better.” You’re confusing people You’re not sending mixed messages – you unabashedly behave like a complex human being. Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042 chastises you for being a reformer with an interesting personality. How many enemies can you handle simultaneously? You are not Bruce Lee – you are much closer to Mr. Rodgers. “This office smells disgusting!” you continue to complain as Chiron in Aries square the North Node in Cancer in February & March. Annoyed colleagues continue to insist, “It smells the same to me!” as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus conjuncts 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. To which you reply, “You have no noses.” Is there something wrong with you? Just that you are frustrated. Remember that progressive vision as the clock turns to the recent past during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September. Get out of the office so that you don’t have to smell that stale smell & complain about it to colleagues without noses during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. It is incumbent upon you to breathe more air! You will not breathe more air in your office or in the lunchroom or in the restaurant during lunch during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June. You need to breath air where air can be found in the gym or in the park near the ocean, and not in midtown or downtown or uptown or center city or city center. And you need to stop complaining about it to friends & colleagues without noses. An extremely dark rock song by King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Radiohead, the Who or other heavyweight band, or a passage from a dystopian modern novel by Franz Kafka, Don DeLillo, Margaret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Camus, Carlos Fuentes or John Edgar Wideman might address exactly how you really feel abut both that rank smell in your nose & modern or post-modern life as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. What the Hell! You are entitled not only to feel dark but to quote some great artist’s transgressive nonsense during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June. Indeed, you are firmly of the opinion that not enough citizens have the brass or the balls in their official capacity to the illegal monarchy – and the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 agrees with you, “Who the Hell does that jerk think that he, she or they are?” What an interesting question! Consider, completely, thoroughly & for the official record, who that jerk really is as Echeclus conjunct the North Node in Gemini during July. Take that answer to that question & place him or her as the protagonist of a Kilgore Trout novel in the middle of Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions, or assign that jerk a new role within Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Then, ask yourself, “What exactly would this jerk do as Rome burns?” as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021? “What would Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Abraham Lincoln or FDR do?”  Some jerk who thinks that you are out of line about the stale smell of the professional workplace gets in your face to say so as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. Tell them, “You may be entitled to your opinion, but I’m entitled to mine – not yours.” But this jerk will not back off – not now nor throughout Mars in Aries from July through December. Should you be scared of this jerk? Maybe – this jerk certainly isn’t helping to solve any problems by confronting you. In the meantime, allies wonder what you’re thinking as they support you unconditionally during Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces from July through October. Some brave souls actually ask you why you feel the way that you do as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from July through September.  The professional workplace consolidates around its perpetual hierarchical infrastructure & protocol during Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. You are supposed to suck it up, do penance & outperform. You do your job. Invariably, liars & practitioners of fraud or forgery claim that you are not doing your job but something much more criminal, nefarious & destructive to your company’s professional interests as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October gives your undeclared enemies license to harass & to hector you as they see fit. The redirection of Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December gives these undeclared enemies equal license to harass & to hector you as part of your job. Helpful bosses deploy proxies to give you scathing unjustified rebukes as Mars squares Saturn during September. A coordinated effort within the infrastructure manipulates you psychologically as you seethe with bitterness during Retrograde Mars square Pluto in early October. These enemies overplay their hands in a hostile direct confrontation with you as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October. Give as good as you get & do not back down. This is too much negativity to tolerate. Recall all the things that you need to do as it relates to that old but useful triangular paradigm of the YMCA – Mind Body Spirit – during Echeclus in Cancer from September through November. You cannot change the toxic hostility of the professional infrastructure, which obeys its own lawless rules of conquest, and which regroups for a renewed push as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. As enemies vote against you, you vote for what you like & for what makes you happy during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December. Long-time professional allies betray you to align with bullies & enemies as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. What good were any of those people in the first place? The Hell with them! Simultaneously, unlikely allies emerge – not because they like you particularly, but because they stand up for right & wrong – and what happened to you was wrong. A bigger than life hero stands tall between you & your enemies during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween while their friend Thereus in Virgo during November & December gives you the freedom of movement to get away from these creeps when you all need to do so. But your professional workplace is not a disorganized flash mob, waiting for the ping to coordinate an attack against you. You learn definitively exactly what you need from your job during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 so that you are in no danger of outperforming doing worthless overtime hours where you would much rather be having fun doing whatever you do with your friends – or your children – after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. A truly noble ally or even rival redresses the mob mentality proactively & ruthlessly as 1996-TL66 conjunct the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. Meanwhile, past partners & even past rivals express extreme disgust for the upfront abuse you endured during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021. Current & former work colleagues corroborate what you describe in social gatherings at restaurants & bars away from the professional workplace during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021. Make no mistake about it: You – and others more famous & more powerful than you – represent the flash point as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. Therefore, it won’t be you, but instead followers who complain, “It stinks in here because this room needs air,” in the professional workplace during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December – and there will be enough people behind you so that nobody will bother you or them. Many of these born-again troublemakers turn into your new lunchtime posse as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021. Be grateful. So, congratulations: Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021 appoints you the twenty-year poster child for the new world anarchy. Realize, however, that the blessing is distinctly mixed – the honor does not work for you, but you wind up working for the ideal. How? Good question! No answer is immediately forthcoming – so lie low during Jupiter in Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021 as you allow your face on the poster to communicate the ideal. Furthermore, realize that any action that you take on behalf of the ideal as Saturn transits Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023 confuses everybody else – and confounds you. Like a politician going into hostile territory, Chiron in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021 declares that you need a public relations expert, or just a savvy friend, to explain to you how other people see when you walk into the room & what other people hear when you speak. As for the professional workplace: New physical boundaries & all types of Chinese walls make the office a more complicated labyrinth than it has ever been as 2002-GZ32 transits Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. Daedalus would neither recognize nor like it. Good luck & Godspeed.     PISCES 2020   Yes, of course, your professional & political allies help you get through the workday & workweek as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces in February – but, truth be told, these allies have become as stale as, or staler than, your professional life as Jupiter conjuncts the South Node in Capricorn from Christmas 2019 through early January. Even with their help, you become exhausted, vulnerable & fragile during Okyrhoe in Pisces from February 2020 through December 2023. Worse yet: You derive no happiness from them. Whether the children in & around your life know six words, or are mooning over their first crush, you realize during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from January to February, that it is these children who make you happy. Fun, romance, sports, children, creativity define the North Node in Cancer from mid-November 2018 through May 2020. That’s why it gives you joy to spend your extra money on these children – as long as you don’t allow such cute kids to trick you into spending more money than you can afford as Chiron in Aries squares the North Node in Cancer in February & March. The idiosyncratic demands of a ruthless client? Who cares! Throw them in a lake. But go slow. For one thing, you see that even your anecdotes about such children unlock some seriously complex & unfathomable emotions in such allies as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer first opposes Jupiter conjunct Hylonome in Capricorn during February, then opposes Hylonome in Capricorn from April through June. Although the karma of the time may be to learn how important children and romance are, Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Chariklo, Amycus, Hylonome, Pholus, 2003-CO1, 2001-KF77 and 2001-BL41 all emphasizing the South Node in Capricorn from November 2018 through May 2020, denote that you will learn how important they are by dealing with adults and politics and work. More germane to your own contemptuous familiarity with the lack of change in your life, the public ascendancy of a new high-tech maven or political visionary during 2003-CO1 in Aquarius from February to September signifies an acceleration of the overall pace of life destined to make you feel distinctly uncomfortable. Therefore, withhold your negative attitude towards allies of allies who all vocally favor the same old same old status quo as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus conjuncts 2001-BL41 in Capricorn during February & March. Even though you are uniquely positioned to handle the pace of life with more ease than all other signs during Saturn in Aquarius from April through June. you simply do not trust it. Somebody could rob you blind with mere slight of hand in a heartbeat. You are correct to be skeptical if not outright paranoid. Pholus in Capricorn from November 2019 to November 2042 teaches you that power is not inherently fair. Skinny short guys who score a lot of goals in ice hockey need towering thugs to defend them. Are you any different? Realize what you need, politically, in order for you and your income to be safe.  Very luckily, an adult who plays power and control games which favor you enters the scene as Jupiter transits Capricorn from December 2019 to December 2020 – just as the rules, the protocol and the jackpot changes in an unprecedented extremely radical fashion internationally during Saturn conjunct Pluto conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 from December 2019 to February 2020. Circumstances this fortunate connote that God favors you! Even so, consult a staunch, well-educated, noble and powerful ally for philosophical perspective during Direct Motion 2003-CO1 in late Capricorn from October 2019 to January 2020. Frankly, you just like kids. You realize during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn from April through June that kids don’t get involved in political arguments about the economy. Kids care about getting the new hot game. Impeachment does not concern them. Kids remain your ideal as that new high-tech maven or political visionary recedes into the background during Retrograde 2003-CO1 in Aquarius & Capricorn from May to September, and as allies continue to argue the case against the same political figures that half of you love & half of you hate during Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius & Capricorn from May through September. These are all illusions perpetuated by television. Problems within your family which make you forget the professional workplace during Retrograde Venus in Gemini during May & June are true blessings in disguise as even these problems remind you of your true bedrock priority: Home & family. This emphasis on home & family throughout the North Node in Gemini from June 2020 through December 2021 is not without joy – but it’s also not without work nor pain. That pain, even if it is merely represented by acute fear of what can go wrong, shakes you deeply as Echeclus conjunct Asbolus conjunct 1996-TL66 in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces during May & June. You must now proactively take responsibility for all that can happen. Some of this is easy: Determine all that you need to do for each & every member of your family & what it will cost as Echeclus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini during July. That’s when more pain surfaces. “What can go wrong?” How likely is it that it will go wrong? What must I do to prevent it from going wrong?” These are all questions which obsess you as Asbolus conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from August through October. Then, of course, the worst-case scenarios that can come to pass infect your dreams . . . and, in some cases, come to pass . . . as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021.  Part of the solution to many of these problems involves money – as you learn whether or not you have the cash on hand as you need it for your child as 1999-OX3 in Aries squares Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during June. You therefore become determined to make as much money as possible so as to have the money that you need during Mars in Aries from July through December. (Realize, as you do so, that buying certain types of insurance are just important as having that cash on hand.) But money in & of itself? Really – the deep conversation that you have with a ten-year-old kid during 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces from July through September may be the happiest sixty minutes of your entire life! As you put your family & the welfare of children on the top of your priority list, you become more grateful for the same help that you receive from the same allies regarding the same exact same old same old status quo as Jupiter in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces from July through October. And even though today, tomorrow & next week seem like a rerun of last month, last year & ten years ago, the days pass without incident as Jupiter conjuncts Amycus in Capricorn during Retrograde Saturn in late Capricorn from July through September. That’s when you really decide that you need much more money than you have right now during Retrograde Mars in Aries during September through October. Do you really? Not now, of course – but eventually, you adamantly insist, you will. Of course, you are right. Echeclus in Cancer from September through November insists, “Children are expensive. Things I really want, like a lover & a marriage & a car & a house & an airplane, are all expensive!” (Why are you thinking about all these things that you want that you don’t yet have? Because you don’t have them, and you don’t have the money, and you can’t get them!) These desires you harbor create conflict with those allies, the champions of the same old same old status quo. – and never more so than during Direct Motion Saturn in late Capricorn from October to early December. For the life of them, these allies cannot fathom why you argue with them as Mars squares Saturn during September – even if they asked to borrow five dollars. (You always loaned them five dollars before!) That’s why they back away from you & sulk. It is only when you get into a holy war with such allies for no good reason as Retrograde Mars squares Pluto in early October that they realize that you are not thinking about the same old same old status quo, but about the future – and that makes these allies stop & think, “Why is this frigging fish thinking about the future all of a sudden?” (Although, in truth, and as out-of-character as it may seem, these allies are actually way too intimidated to ask you directly as Retrograde Mars squares Jupiter in late October.) These allies don’t talk to you for a month as they think about what you must be considering, and why, as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn during November. There is no reason to tell those allies, or anybody else, that you are involved either in a contract dispute, a dispute with a landlord or landlady about a lease, or a dispute involving alimony or child support with a spouse or ex-spouse as Elatus in Libra squares Jupiter conjunct Amycus in Capricorn during September & October. As you make progress with making more money & placing money where it will do the most good during Direct Motion Mars in Aries during December, you scold your family mercilessly for their bad behavior as Neptune in Pisces squares the North Node in Gemini from December 2020 through January 2021. (Is their behavior that bad? No – your standards are evolving.) You are also letting your conscious & unconscious mind reside in the realm of negative possibility. You realize during Retrograde Echeclus from October 2020 through February 2021 that children who are now a joy will become adolescents & then adults – and as they become arduous adult responsibilities in the here & now after Retrograde Echeclus reenters Gemini just before December. As a result, you need to get your mind focused on that here & now. A personal trainer at the gym during Cyllarus in Leo before & after Halloween will get you out of your mind & into your body. And how you are going to have kids without a mate? Even if you have a mate, how you are going to have kids with your mate without having sex? You need a strategy to fight on the battleground of love starting Thereus in Virgo during November & December. Luckily, you have people who know & care about you. A kind-hearted & super-smart but smartass ally says, “You’ve been acting like a total freak lately because you finally learned that there is more to life than work!” as 1996-TL66 conjuncts the North Node in Gemini from October 2020 through February 2021. It’s okay to laugh – in fact, it’s necessary. That new high-tech maven or political visionary that all of you prefer to live without returns for good (and for no good) as 2003-CO1 transits Aquarius from November 2020 through December 2029. You want children not to grow up & to remain frozen in time during Retrograde Cyllarus from Halloween 2020 through March 2021 – but children will obey time & not you. You will work out like a demon at the gym during Retrograde Thereus from December 2020 through April 2021 to ensure that you will not die – but you know in the end it will not work. So the same old same old status quo becomes a psychological anchor for the bittersweet joy that children grow up during Cyllarus in Cancer opposite Jupiter conjunct Saturn conjunct Chariklo conjunct 2001-KF77 in Capricorn during November & December. Therefore, have another conversation with that ten-year-old as 2001-SQ73 in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces from December 2020 to March 2021 – if that ten-year-old is available. (As Jordan Peterson says, “Don’t bother kids when they are skateboarding.”) Because, in the end, as Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during Christmas and the early New Year 2021 states, in the mantra of the next twenty years, that time moves forward whether you or anybody else likes it or not. This is not an invitation to race time as Jupiter transits Aquarius from December 2020 through April 2021 – you will lose. Instead, you must learn how to survive time as Saturn transits Aquarius from December 2020 through February 2023 – and how to use money to learn how to survive time – as Chiron in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius from January through July 2021. All that being said, the allies upon whom you relied for years, if not decades, become subject to unfathomable changes as a result of the influence of high technology on the org chart as 2002-GZ32 transits Capricorn from mid-December 2020 through December 2026. You & all of us now move from the humanity of adulthood to automaton amidst automaton integration. Prepare to act in contradiction to your own human nature in order to secure your paycheck.
