Winter Solstice (December 21, 2020 @ 10:00 am UT)

This is the precise moment the Sun moves into Capricorn. At the same time Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct at 0 degrees Aquarius and just rising above the horizon. This is auspicious.

However, there is one inconjunct.

Venus Inconjunct Uranus

You feel mixed up about whether you want to be close to others or be free. When you are really close to a loved one, you feel smothered and want to get away by yourself to do what you want. But when you are alone and free to do what you want, you miss your loved ones and want to be with them. It will take you several years to understand yourself enough so that you can strike a balance between these two needs, so be patient.

(Doesn’t that sound just like the whole world during this pandemic?)

Jupiter Conjunct Saturn

Throughout your life you will makes plans and try to organize your affairs with care and discipline. You do not want to go too far too fast, and you want to have a structure that will regulate your life and keep it moving forward in the best possible manner. However, the discipline structure that you adopt must not keep you from growing, because you will develop a strong sense of objectives early in life, and you will rebel against anything that interferes with your progress toward your goals, When your life is working well, you can do everything carefully and in an orderly manner. When you take up a task, you follow it through systematically and thoroughly. You can stick to a job longer than most others, and you can keep track of many details at once.

Problems arise when something or someone stops you or gets in the way of your objectives. Unlike some people, you do not immediately fight back. Instead, you try to go on as before, but you get increasingly restless and irritable. Eventually you cannot stand it anymore, and you try to get away from the restriction. There will be many times in your life when, after getting away from some repressive energy, you will suddenly feel relief from a tension that you hadn’t known was there. This can be a problem in that when things go wrong you may wait too long to assert yourself, and it may be more difficult to correct a problem if you have put up with it too long.
