Proof that this 2020 Saturn/Pluto conjunction sets the stage for a new world order is evidenced by its presence during previous major world wars. For example, the Cancer Saturn/Pluto conjunction of 1914/15 coincided with the outbreak of World War I when humanity witnessed the emergence of global warfare, and after which the world was never the same. The Leo conjunction of 1947 occurred just after the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. This resulted in the end of World War II, the reconstruction of a desecrated Europe, the beginning of the global nuclear arms race-and the start of the Cold War era-and the emergence of a modern new world order as we know it today. When Saturn, the lord of karma and planet of structure, limitation, achievement, and maintenance of traditions, joins Pluto, the lord of the underworld, planet of power, hidden motivations, secrets, and deep psychological complexes, it functions as a kind of “global Saturn Return.” This conjunction’s particularly karmic nature represents an evolutionary death/birth cycle during which the world has to purge old, archaic, ossified beliefs and ideas to clear a path for the new. The testing of the status quo faces the firing line now, alerting us it’s time to both fortify our lives as well as tear down and rebuild them where necessary. ![]() This makes it important to view the entirety of 2020 through this conjunction’s lens and to understand that its energy looms behind faster moving transits. Therefore, we cannot talk about the current transit and upcoming retrograde of Mars in Aries-from Jthrough January 6, 2021-without framing it in the larger context of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction ushered in at 22.46° Capricorn January 12, 2020. This relatively rare conjunction happens approximately every 33-38 years and lasts slightly over two years, though its effects progress slowly over the long-term. Astrology involves a complicated process of synthesis, which explains why every Mars, Venus, or Mercury retrograde-because they work alongside other transits and progressions that together formulate a complete picture-are not created equal. Nothing in astrology exists in a vacuum and the transits of the “little guys”-Mars, Venus, and Mercury-almost always trigger events based upon grander themes laid down by the “bigger guys” Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
