Lookahead
Planetary Transits
This Lookahead presents you with the transits associated with conjunctions that will be in the sky over the coming weeks.
The purpose of this Lookahead is to assist you with planning your calendar so as to synchronise your meditations with those celestial alignments which might assist your growth towards full citizenship of the Universe.
The Lookahead also covers some of the longer-term alignments which may impact upon the inhabitants of Planet Earth. These are associated with the Outer Planets (Jupiter outwards) but influenced also by the Sun and Moon. By watching world events unfold consistent with developments in the sky, you are better placed to make wise decisions moving forward. Having reviewed your personal Prenatal Profile, you will already have concluded that there is, indeed, a relationship between our lives and the alignment of the Celestial Bodies. Being ‘one step ahead of the game’ and in tune with the Universe, you can make the most of this life journey.
The energies available to you during the alignment of the Moon with each planet are described on the Planetary Attributes and Energies page. Other descriptions of the effects of planetary conjunctions can be found by visiting Jamie Partridge’s https://astrologyking.com/aspects/.
Please keep a journal of your experiences and insights. By regularly reviewing your journal, you can more readily appreciate just how far you’ve come and how effective and beneficial the practice of synchronised meditation can be. This will, in turn, motivate you to apply even more effort to pressing forward to reaching your full potential as a mature citizen of the Universe, i.e., your ultimate goal.
Please note:
1. The preferred time to meditate using synchronised meditation is when the Celestial Body that is closest to Earth is crossing the meridian at your location. (The body closest to Earth is the body first referenced in the group. For example, with Jupiter c Saturn, Jupiter is closest. If you were to meditate for 2 hours, you’d do so 1 hour before and after the time Jupiter crosses the meridian.)
2. The times that the Celestial Bodies cross the meridian (Meridian Transit times (MTT)) varies with your location. To find the accurate times, use the processes described in the Orientation and Timing page. For the Outer Planets, these times represent their virtual (V) position.
3. When reference is made to a planet’s energies, there are various types of energies involved. There are Galactic Energies which originate outside of the Solar System and pass the planet on their way to Earth. There are also energies generated by the planet itself, including through its rotation, fluctuating magnetic fields, gravitational effects and travels around the Sun. For the Moon, Mercury and Venus, there are also the Sun’s passing energies on their way to Earth when the Moon and planets are between the Sun and Earth.
4. Planets are not sentient beings. Their energies have different effects just as energies that are harnessed on Earth produce different results. It’s simply the way the laws of the Universe work. A planet’s effects are described as ‘attributes’ to help communicate a message. (Electricity can provide very positive benefits but also dangerous, even deadly, consequences. Electricity is characterised as a good servant but a bad master. Similarly, for example, Saturn may be described as a teacher even though the effects are simply the consequences of its energies.)
Lookahead: 8 Nov - 31 Dec 20
Over the coming weeks there will be some significant alignments in the sky which present us with an opportunity to accelerate/super-charge our growth in some key areas of our lives, especially those that relate to our spiritual/psychic development.
When the real position of a planet aligns with another the resultant energies are amplified. They are further amplified when the Sun and/or Moon are also aligned. I suggest that, by harnessing the amplified energies, we can absorb their effects into our DNA and bring about lasting positive change.
You may notice that Pluto(R) features in a number of the forthcoming alignments. Pluto is often described as the planet of transformation and rebirth. These energies bode especially well for those wishing to enhance their spiritual/psychic gifts.
Whether or not your profile includes the aspects described below, you can still use this time to add positive characteristics to your portfolio of talents/gifts for your higher good and that of others. Take care, however, to manage any negative attributes that might be associated with the aspects.
Sun conjunct Pluto(R): 8 Nov. - 17 Nov. 20
With this alignment, the Sun amplifies the effects of Pluto while the energies of both the Sun and Pluto blend to create aspects which Jamie Partridge (https://astrologyking.com/sun-conjunct-pluto/) describes as follows:
Sun conjunct Pluto makes for a very deep and intense person. You can wield great power and influence while also being subject to powerful forces acting on your life. As a result of these profound inner and outer forces, events and relationships in your life can be very dramatic and life-changing.
A strong ambition and drive force you to fully and deeply experience most things in life. This unceasing will power and probing, piercing nature, can be overbearing at times for others. You project yourself in a strong manner with conscious intent, even at the spiritual or psychic level. Others may find this unsettling, feeling that you are peering into their soul. This penetrating nature also means that you can come across as overly forceful, interfering, obsessive or compulsive.
On the positive side, your ability to read people and get to the bottom of matters would make you an excellent researcher, spy, psychic, political leader, boss, or criminal mastermind. Whether loved or hated, you can expect to have an influence on those around you and leave your mark. Your ability to keep one step ahead makes you an effective leader.
You value your own privacy, but this can make other suspicious. You are susceptible to being accused of something even though you are innocent.
Coming in touch with the darker side of life may be a natural for you.
It is when you are down through these more sinister sides of Pluto that your tremendous will power comes to the fore. You have a great ability to transform your life. Pluto’s associations with genetics and evolution means that when faced with extreme challenges for survival, an evolutionary leap occurs.
Following a set-back you may go through a period of withdrawal and self-analysis. Strong recuperative powers lead to a resurrection or rebirth. This is often spiritual in nature.
It will not take too long after a defeat for your potency to return. Self-respect and selflessness together, can then lead to great power and influence, prominence and even fame.
During this time there are some special key dates:
Friday 13 Nov., overhead around 9:30am: Moon conjunct Venus, the planet of love, health, wealth and longevity
Saturday, 14 Nov., overhead around 10:20am: Moon conjunct Mercury, the planet of communication and an essential catalyst for all other positive planetary influences.
Sunday, 15 Nov., around 11:30: New Moon, the beginning of a new growing phase. (Many farmers plant by the New Moon to maximise their harvest).
If you are interested in personal growth, please try to make as much effort as possible to spend time outdoors, preferably in a meditative state of mind, between 9:00 and 12:00 on each of these days, as well as between 3;30 & 4:30 each afternoon to soak up the Jupiter(R)/Neptune(R) energies (spiritual/psychic powers) described below.
Jupiter(R) conjunct Neptune(R): 11 Nov. - 31 Dec. 20
This is an incredibly powerful time as Neptune's energies are amplified by Jupiter as they are conjunct in their real positions. People with a significant component of Neptune's prenatal energies generally have above-average levels of spiritual/psychic powers. This time presents an opportunity to enhance your spiritual/psychic powers, especially while Sun(R) is conjunct Pluto(R).
Jamie (https://astrologyking.com/jupiter-conjunct-neptune/) describes the Jupiter-Neptune aspect as follows:
Jupiter conjunct Neptune - you are a devoted, generous, ethical and spiritual person; enthusiastic and optimistic about being the best person you can and making the world a better place.
You have an ability to understand abstract theories and merge them into your wide and comprehensive knowledge. Your adventurous spirit could lead to many travels and amazing experiences.
Transcendent, religious mystical experiences are likely which could lead to a belief in an afterlife and reincarnation. You may wish to learn about various spiritual belief systems and techniques like astrology, meditation or alternative healing. It is also possible that you feel you have a special destiny to fulfil or spiritual message to share.
You can also be a very controversial person, connected to scandals, gossip and intrigue. You have an amazing imagination and a willingness to believe just about anything but over-optimism should be avoided.
You enjoy an above average amount of good fortune but avoid gambling. A tendency to see only the positive side of any situation can lead to loss and embarrassment. You may have a warped sense of humour, be addicted to extravagance.
At times you may become selfish, somewhat irrational and prone to error. You are able to use abstract ideas to make other people do just about anything you wish. Therefore, being ethical and considerate of others is important in the karmic sense.
Jupiter conjunct Saturn: 8 Nov. 20 - 2 Feb. 21
This conjunction is, I suggest, associated with the effects of Saturn as a Universal teacher applying rewards and/or discipline to move us forward on our life's journey towards citizenship in the Universe. The rewards come as we respond positively to the opportunities presented to us. The discipline happens when we ignore those opportunities. Jamie (https://astrologyking.com/jupiter-conjunct-saturn-the-great-conjunction/) describes this aspect as follows:
Jupiter conjunct Saturn makes you a strong-willed and proud person, determined to succeed in life. This generally positive aspect blends patience with enthusiasm and common sense with aspiration.
You are likely a very productive and prosperous. You are well organised and take a systematic approach to acquire the education and experience you need to reach your goals.
You understand there are no shortcuts to success and will generally pace yourself well. However, when things do not go your way you may become impatient, unrelenting or stubborn.
This aspect can make you too conservative at times. You should always have faith in your abilities and trust your instincts.
At your best, you are enthusiastic and optimistic while also being quietly confident and self-disciplined. Hard work, training, and life experience will give you a strong foundation on which to keep growing and succeeding through life. The secure structures you build will support your family and bring you happiness and satisfaction. You can lead by example and teach with authority.
Jupiter conjunct Pluto: 8 Nov. (and previous) - 12 Dec. 20
Jamie (https://astrologyking.com/jupiter-conjunct-pluto/) describes this aspect as follows:
Jupiter conjunct Pluto gives an incredibly strong need to make it big in the world. You want power and influence and make ambitious plans to succeed at the highest levels. Your intense drive and ambition makes you determined, persistent and sometimes ruthless. Setbacks or failures do not discourage you like they do other people. You see opportunity in every challenge and use the experience to perfect your skills and change your plans. Continual growth and adaptation is your path to personal mastery and prosperity.
You are a lucky person but should not take your good fortune for granted. You should aim to be generous and never greedy. It is important that you act morally and ethically and do not let your power and success go to your head. This aspect has the potential to make you very powerful very quickly, before you have the wisdom and humility to use it safely. A wide knowledge and spiritual development are needed before you amass power and wealth.
Never think you are too smart to learn from your teachers. Before you can wield power you must submit to it. It is okay to be driven but be mindful of becoming obsessed, fanatical or self-righteous. You have the good fortune and power to make a big difference in the world and affect many people. You will be richer in every way if you make friends along the way instead of enemies.
Mercury conjunct Pluto(R): 22 Nov. - 29 Nov. 20
Mercury is the planet of communication. This period represents an opportunity to tune in to Pluto's transformative energies to maximise the potential for positive change during this powerful time. Jamie (https://astrologyking.com/mercury-conjunct-pluto/) describes the Mercury c Pluto aspect as follows:
Mercury conjunct Pluto - a powerful intellect and deep curiosity. You can be a very intense person and this will especially show in your style of communication. You can have a strong influence on those around you and be very persuasive, with a penetrating stare ... persuasive because you know the facts on a particular matter. Your probing mind can uncover all the details and also those things that are hidden.
You also have the ability to understand occult meaning or mysteries, that only a very few people are able to access and understand. Your ability to relate your knowledge to others that makes you a good all-round communicator. People will be impressed by your depth of understanding and therefore come around to your way of thinking. This aspect is neutral for good and bad.
You can be quite forceful when communicating and this may pose a problem with close relationships. It is possible that your friends find you interfering at times or too intense.
Learning to relax is important with this aspect as you can very easily become highly strung and may suffer from nervous conditions. You have the intellect and psychological understanding to see. Nervous conditions are possible due to the intensity of your mind and the serious nature of the topics you may unearth. It is also possible that other people will find you too overbearing or interfering, as if you are staring into their soul. Your power to influence can make others feel threatened.
You can see the bigger picture, the interrelatedness of everything in the Universe. This spiritual view helps you continually evolve your thinking to transcend the limitations of life in a finite human body.
Venus conjunct Pluto(R): 4 Dec. - 12 Dec. 20
Jamie ( https://astrologyking.com/venus-conjunct-pluto/) describes the Venus c Pluto aspect as follows:
Venus conjunct Pluto - an intense love nature. The variability in the expression of love with this conjunction is due in large part to how you love yourself. Either way, relationships are a serious matter in your life and vital to your well-being.
You should find it easier than most to attract a partner because of your powerful level of attraction. Instant attraction, karmic relationships and falling head over heels can apply.
You may become a victim or betrayal or abuse, going through much pain each time you are stung. And this can be a repeating cycle spiralling down into despair. Jealousy, possessiveness, manipulation and even crime may result in disgrace and embarrassment.
Even when in the depths of Pluto’s realm, you can always draw on a powerful ability to transcend pain and then transform your life. It may be that fate sees you visit the darkness for you to regenerate like a butterfly from the cocoon. With positive self-esteem and self-love come the positive manifestations of this conjunction. Self-confidence, popularity, wealth and healthy relationships are the result of a positive transformation, or the blessing of other helpful aspects and fixed stars. You will then enjoy the intensity of love and affection of partner and good friends. Eliminating negative association and behaviours is important for your development.
You will prefer friends and lovers who take relationships seriously like yourself. Keep in mind that you find very few people love as deeply as you do, but that does not mean that do not love you as much as they possibly can.
Sun conjunct Mercury aligned with the Galactic Axis: 12 Dec. - 29 Dec. 20
This is a time when we can, potentially, increase our IQ. During this period, the Sun and Mercury are not only conjunct, but are aligned with the centre of the Milky Way galaxy (21 Dec. is the southern hemisphere solstice). (People such as Einstein and Elon Musk have significant Mercury-Galactic Axis alignment in their profiles.)
Venus aligned with Galactic Axis: mid Dec. 20 - mid Jan 21
During this period the enormous energies from the centre of the galaxy will be blending with those of Venus. Super-centenarians (those who have lived 110+ years) have a lot of these energies in their profiles. The characteristics of Sun c Venus should also apply. Those characteristics are described by Jamie (https://astrologyking.com/sun-conjunct-venus/) as follows:
Sun conjunct Venus - the personification of love, peace and beauty. You are an affectionate and refined person with a rich social life who loves entertaining and amusements. You are a lover not a fighter and dislike threatening or ugly people and environs. Sun conjunct Venus in the natal chart is the personification of love, peace and beauty. You are an affectionate and refined person with a rich social life who loves entertaining and amusements. You are a lover not a fighter and dislike threatening or ugly people and environments. People are attracted to you because of your genuine lovely nature.
Shopping should be an enjoyable experience because of your good fashion sense and eye for a bargain. You also have good money handling skills and should enjoy a life a relative comfort if not wealth. Investment in art, jewellery and cash should turn a profit. Artistic and creative talent can shine through music, dance, art, fashion and poetry.
Beauty comes not only on the outside but also inside as compassion, sympathy and a strong belief in unity and unconditional love. You do appreciate beauty so your personal appearance and that of your home and loved ones are important to you. You also appreciate the importance of good food, exercise and a healthy diet.
Your charming and charismatic nature means you can easily make friends and can even win over enemies. Your ideal partner should know how to romance and indulge you but above all truly love you. Venus rules marriage and partnerships of all kind play an integral part in your life.
Your desire for peace and harmony together with your soft nature means you can at times compromise too much in order to keep the peace. You could also have a tendency to sugar coat unpleasant realities. More challenging aspects to this conjunction may cause problems with over indulgence or extravagance.
