Saturn’s transit into Aquarius is the most significant, as it takes Saturn roughly 29.5 years to visit all 12 signs. While Saturn was in Capricorn for the last two and a half years, we’ve been restructuring our lives and future plans. For those who are experiencing a Saturn Return, this is an extremely powerful transit. In Astrology, a “return” is when a planet circles back to the same sign it was in when you were born. The average person experiences two Saturn Returns in their lifetime, the first around the age of 30 and the second around 60. It often marks a time of transition, as we move into a new phase of life.

We actually already experienced Saturn in Aquarius from late March until July of this year. This timeline coincidentally matches the dates of varying quarantine measures taken across North America. We all kept to ourselves for the good of humanity. We found new ways to connect through technology and creative thinking. It really doesn’t get more Aquarius than that!

This time around, Jupiter will be by Saturn’s side. Jupiter, the planet of luck, abundance and expansion will be elated to move out of Capricorn and into Aquarius. Yes, luck is literally on our side with this transit. We all have the power to change our lives and put ourselves on the path to success. With these heavy hitters in Aquarius, we are being called to come together and create a brighter future.

Capricorn season kicks-off on December 21, as the Sun moves into Capricorn with Mercury by its side. This will give us all extreme focus and mental stamina to follow through with our plans, even if some unexpected detours pop up. The full moon in Cancer on December 30, 2020 is a wonderful time to express gratitude to anyone who you consider family.
