2020 Capricorn Stellium -

How it Will Affect You

On January 12th we have a long awaited astrological aspect happening Saturn will conjunct Pluto exactly at 23 degrees, accompanied by the Sun - and having Jupiter nearby in Capricorn as well. A cluster of planets emphasising Capricorn energy to the max

"There is nothing easy about dealing with experiences related to Saturn and Pluto,
but the cathartic intensity they force us to endure aids in developing inner focus,
determination, and courage. At times, we must resiliently persist in the face of opposition;
at other times we must learn to surrender to elements of life out of our control and nurture
feelings of grief caused by loss. If we sustain effort through the challenges, by the end of 2020,
we will have made significant progress toward major life goals—and put new, supportive
structures in place that will endure for a long time." www.astrology.com

Saturn is the Lord of Karma, and the keeper of time. It represents adulthood, maturity, seriousness,foundations, structure - showing up and getting the work done.  Pluto is the bringer of transformation. It will destroy things first to rebuild them. Think of a wrecking ball that takes down an old house that can't be saved, and then imagine the work needed to re-design and build a new one in it's place. Pluto is very intense but it will also liberate you. 

Wherever it is passing through your chart is the area it will give you a shake up or a jolt this month. You may not be surprised what it's about, but voila... now you must deal with it.

 
"Saturn and Pluto will begin their new cycle in January 2020 as part of a
stellium in Capricorn that includes Jupiter conjoining the south node of the
moon in Capricorn, as well as the sun, Saturn, Pluto, Ceres, and Mercury all
together within two degrees of Capricorn. In fact, the day after Saturn and Pluto unite,
both Saturn and Pluto will form a conjunction with the sun and begin
new synodic cycles. As a result, January 2020 will be an incredibly potent period
in which to plant the seeds of what you want to develop far beyond the new year.
Utilize January not only for making resolutions the new year, but for the next five years.
Once you have clarified your ultimate ambitions, you can begin prioritising which
shorter-term goals will be most important to implement and how
to best sequence them" www.astrology.com

The best way to use this intense energy is for the long-term goal setting and intention
setting it can give you. If something happens under this influence this month to bring up old pain,
try using that Capricorn far seeing perspective to make a plan for long term healing.
If you want to think about the future it has to be with some confidence and determination
to work for whatever it is you want. 

The way I would describe it is that you're running the marathon, not the sprint.
When you know you have a long run ahead you conserve energy, take precautions,
bring things with you for the trail. You have a prepared and calm demeanour.
We need this kind of mindset with whatever this transiting stellium brings.
