Throughout 2019, astrologers everywhere were talking about a major turning point for the world, with conjunction of Saturn to the powerful Pluto in Capricorn in January 2020. No one knew exactly what this would be, but they definitely knew something very big was about to start at that time. Now two years later – following 24 months of Covid pain, chaos and conflict – we know exactly what it meant!

Now, in January 2022, we see that of the 10 main astrological planets we look at generally, 6 of them will be passing through that same Sign of Capricorn this month. I therefore think it safe to say that now is a time to think about new Capricorn qualities and values – for us and for our world community!

Capricorn is all about “structures”, “long-term planning” and “the status quo.” So, perhaps the message here is that we all have taken our medicine in testing our traditional social structures and found them waning. We hopefully now realize those ones that can be dispensed with, and those new ones that can heal our societies and ourselves from now on in. Ones that will far better respect our planet better in the future too.

We still have bumps in the road to encounter yet, no doubt. But hopefully slow but sure progress can now begin to be made in us building a new and better world for ourselves – and one that is more reflective of the needs of our planet too.

The healing has to start with each of us realizing the highest expression of our unique “astrological selves” – and then more constructively expressing those individual qualities for the benefit of our entire, all-embracing society. We may not be able to do that in the limelight, or on the world’s stage, as some can do. But, within our own individual selves and our spheres of influence, we can definitely bring our unique personal qualities more compassionately and constructively into play.

NOTE: Whereas it’s popularly believed that astrologers assert that all people of the same Sign of the Zodiac will experience the same things, it is not so.

When we are born our Birth Chart shows specific sensitive points that are unique to us and us alone. Consequently, when the planets move through the Zodiac on a regular basis, they can trigger those sensitive points for us – which of course means that not everyone in a Sign is affected in the same way at the same time.

Therefore, it pays us all to know our personal Birth Charts well!
