Did You Know There’s a Rhythm to the Ebb and Flow of Life?

It’s hard to believe that we’ve arrived at the 19th anniversary of the event that will forever be referred to as 9/11. It’s one of those moments of stillness in which we all remember where we were and what we lost. COVID-19 has brought us to another still point.

Many of you know I’ve been following astrology more closely and am astounded at the predictable cycles of the planets. It turns out that this Jupiter-Saturn cycle we’re in occurs roughly every 20 years. So every 20 years we can expect something to occur that restructures us. The histories unfold in changes regarding health, education, and government.

This year, in 2020, it’s the pandemic. Previously,in 2001, 9/11. Prior to that, in the 1980s was the Reagan administration and the AIDS epidemic. The 1960s featured the Kennedys and the eradication of smallpox, even as Hong Kong Flu (“bird flu,”) was sweeping the nation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman were Presidents in the 1940’s when the country was plagued with Polio. And so it goes…

These Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions occur in signs of the same element, every 200 years at a time. So we have 200 years of Fire, 200 years of Earth, 200 year of Air, and 200 years of Water.

Since the early 19th century, with the energies in Earth signs, we’ve witnessed the onset of the industrial revolution, the introduction and dependence on the technology age with computers and cellphones, the accumulation of material objects, and continuous warring over territory, resources, and the position of power. December 21, 2020, we will switch out of the 200 year Earth cycle into 200 years of Air.

Our journey to December 21st and beyond may be a bit rocky, given the election, people’s raw nerves, the issues of power, racial injustice, violence, protests, COVID-19 meets flu season, and the decreased hours of sunlight in the late fall/winter months. It’s time to decide who you’d like to be and how you’d personally like to show up in the world each and every day, beginning right now.

Take some time today to remember the impact of 9/11, the loss, the grief, as well as the coming-together and the rebuilding. Then consider what you have to let go of, take on, transform, and make decisions about in order to be a light in this darkness.
Whatever you decide, stay enchanted.
