The coming Jupiter-Saturn opposition

 

When contemplating what influences specific transit aspects are likely to have on mundane affairs in the future, it is often best to turn to history. Indeed, history is often a best guide to what may unfold given certain transits. That said, account must be taken of other astrological factor. This article explores the likely influence of the mutual aspect between Jupiter and Saturn in the summer of 2010, based on a study of similar aspects in

the past.

Hello list,

 

I attach a list of select events during the enormously long and close Jupiter - Saturn conjunction in Virgo, within 5° orb from October 1980 to September 1981. You'll be surprised to find many very interesting events. In addition to the assassinations mentioned in the article, you may find it interesting that Ronald Reagan sacked over 11 thousand striking PATCO air traffic controlloers during this aspect. The discovery of the first case of HIV infection and the almost 30 Atlanta child murders occurred at that time. There were many violent events. I also attach a graph showing these two planets in orbit and the amazingly close and long standing conjunction. The longest and closest during the entire 20th century.

Hello list,

 

I hope I´m not the only one interested in this, but I find the astrology of US history fascinating. I´ve attached a graph showing the briefer transit conjunction in 1921. The conjunction enters 5° orb in late Leo and then continues in the first half of Virgo. It was about to become exact when...

 

"The Battle of Blair Mountain took place as both 6th lord Jupiter and 8th lord Saturn were conjunct in Virgo and the 3rd house, with Saturn closely afflicting both natal and transit Jupiter. As Jupiter is the 6th lord, it has to do with work and and work arrangements. Saturn is also the indicator of working people and Jupiter was afflicting it. There was thus a huge conflict over the right of workers in the Saturnian coal mining industry to unionise. The conjunction took place in the 3rd house and the battle involved the freedom to act."

http://cosmologer.blogspot.com/2010/01/coming-jupiter-saturn-opposition.html

 

It will be interesting to see how this energy manifests in 2010. .

 

So, what will be the result of this aspect? There are many permutations possible:

Saturn: working people, the land, mines, things mined from the ground, traditional industries, structures,

8th lord: obstacles, endings, death, easy gains, beliefs of the people

Jupiter: major personalities, religious people, bankers, financiers, investment, expansion

6th lord: financial stability, health, enmity, opposition, conflict

 

Moreover, while Saturn will be in the 3rd house, Jupiter will be in the 9th. They will both afflict natal Jupiter in the 5th

 

So, will there be a pitched battle over health care coverage for those with the least means in 2010? What else can you imagine will happen with this aspect?

The coming Jupiter-Saturn opposition

 

When contemplating what influences specific transit aspects are likely to have on mundane affairs in the future, it is often best to turn to history. Indeed, history is often a best guide to what may unfold given certain transits. That said, account must be taken of other astrological factor. This article explores the likely influence of the mutual aspect between Jupiter and Saturn in the summer of 2010, based on a

study of similar aspects in the past.

Hello list,

 

I hope I´m not the only one interested in this, but I find the astrology of US history fascinating. I´ve attached a graph showing the briefer transit conjunction in 1921. The conjunction enters 5° orb in late Leo and then continues in the first half of Virgo. It was about to become exact when...

 

"The Battle of Blair Mountain took place as both 6th lord Jupiter and 8th lord Saturn were conjunct in Virgo and the 3rd house, with Saturn closely afflicting both natal and transit Jupiter. As Jupiter is the 6th lord, it has to do with work and and work arrangements. Saturn is also the indicator of working people and Jupiter was afflicting it. There was thus a huge conflict over the right of workers in the Saturnian coal mining industry to unionise. The conjunction took place in the 3rd house and the battle involved the freedom to act."

http://cosmologer.blogspot.com/2010/01/coming-jupiter-saturn-opposition.html

 

It will be interesting to see how this energy manifests in 2010. .

 

So, what will be the result of this aspect? There are many permutations possible: Saturn: working people, the land, mines, things mined from the ground, traditional industries, structures,

8th lord: obstacles, endings, death, easy gains, beliefs of the people

Jupiter: major personalities, religious people, bankers, financiers, investment, expansion

6th lord: financial stability, health, enmity, opposition, conflict

 

Moreover, while Saturn will be in the 3rd house, Jupiter will be in the 9th. They will both afflict natal Jupiter in the 5th

 

So, will there be a pitched battle over health care coverage for those with the least means in 2010? What else can you imagine will happen with this aspect?

Jerry Brown urges unions to 'attack'

March 17, 2010 | 12:12 pm

Faced with the daunting prospect of being significantly outspent by his Republican opponent, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown spoke to a labor group Tuesday and urged them to go on the offensive. "We're going to attack whenever we can, but I'd rather have you attack," Brown said at a gathering of the California delegation of the Laborers' International Union of North America in Sacramento. "I'd rather be the nice guy in this race. We'll leave [the attacks] to ... the Democratic Party and others." Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for GOP candidate Meg Whitman, said Brown's pitch was unseemly and perhaps even illegal.

Jerry Brown is a former Governor of California and Mayor of Oakland. He ran for President of the USA in 1992 but was beaten in the primaries by Bill Clinton. He is now running to become governor of California again.

 

As discussed in the following article, labour conflict is expected during the Saturn-Jupiter opposition.

Indeed, history is often a best guide to what may unfold given certain transits. That said, account must be taken of other astrological factor. This article explores the likely influence of the mutual aspect between Jupiter and Saturn in the summer of 2010, based on a

study of similar aspects in the past.
