Newsletter - Uranus Retrograde and Afghanistan - 20 Aug 21
As of today, we have Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all retrograde.
The 'big' Astronomical/Astrological dynamic of 2021 is the 'Square' (confrontation) taking place between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus all year.
These two planets are now getting ready to square each other for the third time this year. And as they get ready, they are both retrograde - that is, moving slowly and confidently, going over ground that they have already covered, this time with a fine-tooth comb and making sure they have said and done everything they came here to do :)
What's super fascinating about these two planets is that they are in an exchange with each other. Rebellious, unpredictable and innovative Uranus (the owner of Aquarius in modern Western Astrology) is in Taurus a fixed, earth, conservative sign. And Saturn, the conservative, is in Uranus' innovative sign of Aquarius.
This 'Square' confrontation is about conservative versus innovative, structure versus rebellion. But who will win and what does winning even look like?
I've noticed this energy in conflicting opposites seeming to suddenly make perfect sense - like servicemen/women and nurses (i.e. traditionally conservative vocations) being anti-vaxxers. Or in far-right and far-left joining up in their distrust of government. Or in people who are 'original-thinkers' not taking an ground-breaking vaccine and people who have a 'sheep-mentality' embracing new mRNA technology.
And I saw it this week in the transition of power in Afghanistan. The U.S. 'world enforcer of law and order' stepping out of the country and side-stepping responsibility. The Afghan army / government stepping aside - to issue in new innovation? or reinstate conservative values? The U.S. President going from good-guy-global-citizen to not-my-problem. Which of these is innovative and which is conservative? So much Saturn perseverance was invested in 21 years of skirmishes, battles, deaths and hard work. And all of that structure dissolved in a matter of days.
It's been a hard week for many - hang in there, breathe, transformation is all around us and sometimes it takes us by surprise. Astrology can give us some Jupiterian perspective and context for understanding all this transformation.

How a debilitated planet can produce results
How the placements of specific Sign/Rasi rulers can assist in producing results in a person’s life when planets are debilitated. Interestingly, this is not by helping the debilitated planet, but by the Sign/Rasi ruler being extra motivated to create success because of its awareness of the difficulty caused by the placement of the debilitated planet.

Could this be the end of Fake News?
The last time Jupiter and Saturn were in Capricorn was in 1960 and the time before that, in 1901. The next time it happens will be 2079. That likely won’t be in my lifetime, so this is a great opportunity to take the most from this placement.
And what is the benefit of having our hope tested by the material realities of Capricorn and Saturn? One thing that springs to mind is strengthening our hope with realism. As a life coach, I’m all for positive thinking and ‘reframing’ one’s perceptions to experience a ‘growth mindset’. But this practice is effective only when it is based in reality.

Are you losing hope in 2020?
Jupiter is DEBILITATED in Capricorn. And, it was blindsided by an eclipse on December 26, 2019 involving itself, Moon, Sun and Ketu. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Saturn has been keeping Jupiter company in Capricorn (pretty much) the entire time! Jupiter and Saturn are normally ‘neutral’ to each other (in terms of natural friendships), but, as laid out in the Lajjitaadi Avastas - any planet conjunct Saturn is ‘starved’.
So why is this eclipsed, starved, debilitated Jupiter affecting our hope?
