WILL YOU FIND RICHES IN THE STARS?
With the key ‘money planets’ Pluto and Jupiter meeting three times in 2020...
Perhaps the biggest impact of the major alignments in 2020 involving Jupiter, saturn and pluto will be on our pockets. Well, that’s a bit oldfashioned . . . after all, who carries cash these days?
Like it or not, we are living in a highly connected global financial system, dependent on the fortunes of companies with whom we have little contact.
as powerful astrological events paint a stormy financial picture, it’s important to find ways to navigate the waters so the strong winds don’t send us off in the wrong direction. No one wants to crash.
Let’s address the elephant in the room, or rather the piggy in the bank!
The ‘money’ planets (Jupiter and pluto) meet three times in 2020. Jupiter last converged with pluto in 2007, an event often seen as precipitating the financial crash.
pluto represents hidden riches and powerful secrets: sabotage, trickery and Machiavellian manoeuvres. Jupiter, the planet of philosophical and moral integrity, sometimes encourages over-indulgence and excesses we come to regret.
What does this mean for 2020? I doubt it will result in a financial meltdown. In 2007, these two planets met in adventurous sagittarius; whereas in 2020, they meet in the more cautious (though no less ambitious) sign of Capricorn.
saturn, this sign’s ruler, undergoes several once-in-a-generation events this year which hold the key to our financial wellbeing.
saturn’s January meeting with pluto indicates that responsible restructuring is needed to prepare for the long-term future. short-term sacrifices may be required to ensure the necessary transformation takes place.
When it comes to buried resources (both metaphorical and physical), this is a chance to alter our troubled relationships with power sources. saturn and pluto’s last meeting, in 1982, marked the end of a recession characterised by an oil crisis and rampant inflation.
But it also began a difficult move away from some of the traditional industries. There are lessons to be learned so we avoid making similar mistakes this time around.
saturn’s conjunction with Jupiter, as the year draws to a close, indicates that forward-thinking efforts and hard work will be rewarded. Careful planning leads to sustainable growth, and through a series of practical choices we can successfully navigate around any tricky transitions.
We are in the process of a great renewal, in which new ways of maintaining economies become reality and old ways of working cease to be a reliable fallback. 2020 heralds powerful transformation — one from which we can emerge wealthier, more successful and more positive about the direction in which we’re heading.
