Saturn in Capricorn – New Rule of Law

As this column is published five planets (Mercury, Venus, Sun, Saturn and Pluto) are in Capricorn. It is a most potent stellium (gathering of planets). Saturn entered Capricorn at winter solstice and remains in the sign of the unicorn for 2 1/2 years. Saturn in Capricorn, at first, can feel cold, harsh and difficult. Pluto in Capricorn can produce transformations, making us fall to our knees. Venus in Capricorn pushes for more and more concrete scientific and true information. Mercury in Capricorn tells us to be very careful with how we communicate.

With so many planets in Capricorn, our knees, bones and joints can hurt. We can feel time has stopped or we feel limited by time itself. We can experience delays, disappointments, obstructions, walls being built (Berlin Wall built in 1961 with Saturn in Capricorn) and things falling down (like the Berlin Wall, 1989, when Saturn was last in Capricorn) or falling away from us.

Saturn and Capricorn present us with challenges, bringing awareness to crystallizations – areas in life where we are no longer growing. Saturn in Capricorn can also break down crystallizations, eliminating them, so new life can eventually come forth. The old is shattered and then reformed into what is useful for the coming new era.

With Pluto continuing in Capricorn, there is the promise of regeneration for humanity, the new “rule of Law”, lifting the darkness up and into the light, allowing any type of enslavement of humanity to be dissolved. Capricorn is called the sign of “arresting (periodic arresting). This means, that until the old crumbles and passes away, the new order of things, a new cycle cannot not come forth. The stars will see to this new order of things. Life changes for everyone under Saturn in Capricorn.
