2020 where is the world heading? As we fast approach the middle of the year, 2020 has been one of those years that will go down in history as one of the most eventful years in this century.
It all started back in December 2019, when rumours started to come out of China that a new virus was coming, the Chinese government at the time tried to suppress information and even punished those who dared to release information about this new unknown virus. Soon enough the Chinese government had no choice but to advise the World Health Organisation, which they did on the 1st January 2020 China announced that they have a province in China that was being overcome with a new novel coronavirus. The World Health Organisation called this virus COVID-19 which is what it is referred to by the world today.
No matter how many movies have been made about a pandemic wiping out the human race, no country was prepared for this disastrous pandemic that was just days or weeks away from their borders. Each country managed their response differently. Some countries did a great job of containing to get it under control, whilst sadly other countries have turned it into a political fight, causing mass devastation, and displacement of many people. During this time we have added a whole new set of terms to our vocabulary, like Social Distancing, Lockdown, Stay in Place, Stay Home, Stay Safe, etc.
Our scientific experts are rushing to try and find some medication or vaccine to control this virus, and the conspiracy/denialism groups are rampant with their claims to discredit or minimise the deadly behaviour of this virus. Some claiming that the virus is due to 5G, others saying it is a hoax to control the world population. But the facts are we have millions of people infected with this virus, and hundreds of thousands deaths related to this virus.
As the world starts to get back to some type of normality, well the new normal for some time. We now see another major civil rights movement taking place, the violence against race, even though this has been brought on by recent deaths of two black men in the united states racism on a whole is not coherent to the survival of the human race. The Blacks Rights movement has gained so much support in the last couple weeks after the death of George Floyd who was killed by police offices in Minneapolis.
People are out in the streets, with this pandemic still in the community, however, this uprising about social justices seems to be just another trigger about how world governments treat minorities, or indigenous people in their respective countries. Countries around the world are now protesting in equality of all races, it’s time for old world structures to be broken down, and a new world order be put in place.
Why is this all happening?
If we look at the Astrological impact of the events today, we will get a better understanding why the world seems to be in turmoil. But thank the universe this is needed change, and will be swift.
Where should we begin to look at 2020? The first 5 and a bit months have been dramatic. Perhaps with Mercury retrogrades. Many people dread this astrological even. The truth is they are like roundabouts for all of us to redirect our life. Each retrograde last about three week and occur once every four months. The next Mercury retrograde is 9th June to 12th July, and then again 13th October to 3rd November. Mark them in your calendar.
Mercury, also known as Hermes in ancient Greek, was described by Homer as the Master of Strategy. In addition, he was known for his mischievous antics, which explains the unpredictable quality of events surrounding Mercury retrograde period. These are times when we can correct errors and square circles. Hermes waves his wand in ancient myths and leads us along the path to victory and success.
What is driving the world events? A momentous conjunction in Capricorn took place between Saturn and Pluto on 12th January. This event happens about once every 34 years. This cycle corresponds with dramatic events in human history. The effect has been building up in intensity over the past year. January brings the crescendo that will lead us through 2020.
Help is on it’s way, with the good news that fast mover Jupiter, aka Zeus, will catch up to Saturn and Pluto. Jupiter will cozy up to Pluto on 4th April, 30th June and the 12th November. Jupiter brings wisdom, illumination and greater understanding. Secrets will be revealed. The Truth will prevail.
The biggest and grandest alignment comes on 21st December, when Jupiter joins Saturn in what’s referred to as the great conjunction. It comes at the end of the year, but it will influence the whole year from start to finish. That’s how powerful this alignment is. These grand conjunctions comes every 20 years, but this meeting has extra gravitas. It marks the end of a 200-year cycle of unions in earth sings that’s brought the age of materialism, banking, capitalism, and corporations.
December 2020 will kick off a new 200-year cycle of union in air signs. What that will bring isn’t entirely clear yet, but early indications are that thought, philosophy and truth will prevail. This is going to be a big shift.
There is a Latin quote: Astro inclinant, sed non obligate; “The stars incline us, they do not bind us”. It’s another way of saying that it’s our choice how to react and create our future with our thoughts and predispositions. It would be a mistake to think that astrology is fatalistic. Our fate is not fixed. It’s a moving target.
