NEWSLETTER THE YEAR 2020 WHAT TO EXPECT
GROWTH WITHIN STRUCTURE
Laurie Naughtin www.sublunar.co.za
This is a long one, read it over time; it has important messages for all my readers.
Change for some can be unsettling, a situation to be avoided at all costs, for others a gear up, hold onto your hats mind blowing exciting new experience.
Whichever way we view change this is the year we will experience change like we have never done before.
This change however is at least happening within a structured environment that literally keeps us on the straight and narrow.
Certain planetary combinations have not yet been experienced in our lifetime or within the life time of our parents. In Fact the last time this energy was similar was around the mid 17th Century.
The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 26th of December, a time to shift, bring structure and discipline to our emotions and needs overriding our egos, begins the theme of 2020.
This is followed by the Lunar Eclipse on the 10th Jan, this is the starting gun that pushes us into becoming a leader by obeying the rules and taking charge of your life with discipline. Over emotional needy behaviour and pity parties are a thing of the past, if you do not pull up you emotional anchor’s you will be lest in a puddle of sorrow at the starting line.
The first event which has been building up all of 2019 will reach its climax on the 12th of Jan 2020. Boy are we feeling it now. We will experience a very powerful pull to take control and in a disciplined manner leave behind, destroy or end the past ways. If you do not…well the energy around you will give you a cosmic shove.
Last year we saw potential for growth, in fact our ideas were scattered as so many opportunities for growth were present, but not really easy to lock in. This year if we are able to be disciplined and realise that life as we knew it has dynamically changed we will be able to make that quantum leap into 2020.
Growth will only be successful if it happens within a structure, it will not happen as fast as we wish, but the first step will begin on the 12th of January. This is when we need to step up to the plate, reign in our ambition and focus it in a structured authoritive and determined manner.
If you are not working your life within a set of rules and structure your life simply will not work out the way you want it to. There are no shot cuts, determination to see a project through is important. We must also be totally aware that we need to become leaders of our destiny, this must be done in a contained manner and there are no longer any short cuts to the top. Impatience is your enemy.
For the astrologers that read this, we have the big conjunction of Mercury, Sun, Ceres, Saturn and Pluto all conjunct a 22 degrees of Capricorn on the 12th of January. Break it down – thinking and communicating with confidence and discipline as you transform within a structured yet nurturing environment.
Add Jupiter to the mix in Capricorn and we get confirmation that any sort of achievement or growth will only happen with constrain and structure.
Jupiter is also going to play a very importing long lasting role this year. From mid February take note of how you intend growing, there could be many opportunities coming your way and the instinct to jump in too quickly could occur. You need to take note if have a dream, an idea in mind, it has every chance of becoming a reality as long as you can contain and structure your ideas within the rules of society.
The ability to see your future goal and begin its growth in February, even right up to April will move along a good pace, then slow down and may even grind to a halt in May. Don’t lose heart this is a time to become your own leader and to step up to life. What is not ideal or structured will cause such discomfort, in fact there is no option but to face up to what is not viable. Make changes, let go of any unrealistic ideals and get back on track.
This period of time is a time to research for a better way of expanding and know that frustration at restriction could feel suffocating. Rules and regulations, beurocracy and legal constrains can occur and you will need to re-evaluate certain areas of your life.
Once you have seen where the lack of structure is you can reset your path. Then you will be able to move forward around end September where you will realise you goals and have the correct support to actualise you vision by December.
Astrologically speaking this will happen as Jupiter goes through both shadow periods during his retrograde cycle in Capricorn this year. He will continue to be in the orb of Pluto during this cycle, his first conjunction happens beginning April where we need to get a feeling of what else we need to let go of to grow with success. We may see and experience many losses during the retrograde period, see it as a cleansing.
Nothing is going to happen as fast as we wish it to this year, so take the time to make things happen properly. If the foundation of an idea is weak it will come crumbling down. We are dealing with the slower moving planets whose effects are deeper and far reaching, they connect for a longer period giving us the time to grow from the past lessons learnt.
The big conjunctions of Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto will bring along change that we cannot begin to comprehend. Shifting energy that can be mind blowing, this has happened twice in the last 20 years, but this year it all happens in Capricorn where dishonest and weak structure will come crumbling down.
Jupiter is all embracing warm and expansive where Saturn is a cooling contracting solidifying force. Jupiter encourages us to embrace wisdom whilst Saturn compels us to face our fears. They are working together to bring structure back into our lives.
Politically we can be sure to see some big changes, we are seeing the way big countries are going, they have a focus that has already become a reality, now to stay on track will be the challenge.
As for our country the infrastructure is so flawed and literally rotting away our future feels bleak. If we do not utilise the discipline and knowledgeable leadership skills available…we will be junk. South Africa has one last chance to get over ego and do what is needed.
As individuals it is up to us to personally put in a structure or infrastructures that can protect us from the lack of support of our country and leaders.
Growth can only happen within a structure when Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn are involved, and they are in a big way this year.
From mid February the opportunity to overcome all boundaries and to chase that big dream will occur as Jupiter connects with Neptune. This is when we will feel the rejuvenating energy of Jupiter kick into place with optimism as you formulate your goals in idealist terms. This is good but beware that you do not adopt a casual all will be fine attitude to life.
Gambling and taking a chance with all this other energy calling for discipline in the heavens is asking for trouble. Bridge the material with the immaterial, manifest the imaginable, if the idea cannot manifest as a concrete structured reality, it will dissolve into the great unknown.
Venus is the planet of love and values as well as financial affairs of a personal nature. We really do need to reassess our spending this year as Venus will retrograde in June in Gemini.
Venus only retrogrades every year and a half, spending a total of 4.5 months in a sign where her normal motion is under a month in a sign. As this year she will be in Gemini a long focus will be on our finances, but be advised the trendy new financial undertakings should be avoided at all costs. Like the rest of this year you do need to be diligent with your money and resources, put in structures and avoid impulsive spending.
Love life could take you on a merry go round where socialisation and meeting many new potential partners is definitely on the cards. If your relationship is not solid it is a good year to prepare yourself to face the truth and to put a disciplined, support system in place so you can either restructure what is crumbling or find the courage to move on. After all from mid April we need to be ready to socialise and reconnect with people.
Mars is also bringing us a strong message to re-evaluate our life path. Mars is all about action and drive and will retrograde in Aries from September to November, Mars only retrogrades every 2 years or so. Mars in Aries is the ultimate pioneer and will be in Aries from July to end December.
Mars normally spends 2 Month in one sign, so this is significant period of time in the sign of Aries. We will become motivated, impatient, driven and fearless all so necessary for growth. As he retrogrades, things will go backwards and quickly de-motivation can set in.
The secret is to learn from your falls and get back onto the horse and become a warrior using experience you have gained through hardship and hard work. This is really and truly a time where you can reach a turning point in life which will set you up for success in 2010.
No time for wilting flowers in 2020, only warriors who are ready and disciplined enough to see their way through death, change, fear and diversity. This is what will get you to the finish line as you are one of the many successful people ready to rock the innovation on offer in 2021.
This year is a very important year and a time to consult with your astrologer as the potential for growth or failure starts now. I am not just saying this from a personal business perspective, but truly feel we all need the advice our charts can give to see where and how we can benefit or lose.
MEDICALLY SPEAKING
This is an easy one for the beginning of the year. It is vital we do not ignore our health. Society has provided us with many opportunities to do regular health checks, embrace them and obey the rules needed to keep a fit and healthy body.
Cancer is on the rise, especially this year. There a simple tests that can alert us to early warning signs. We do not need to be ill before we get help; we need to prevent needing the health.
Annual medicals, pap smears, prostate and breast health, very easily obtained. Do full blood counts, cholesterol and blood sugar tests.
Get to know your body from the inside out, once you can see and relate to your own body, you can build it up into an awesome suite of healthy armour.
A healthy body is seriously a healthy mind…heard this saying before, you hear it again and many times more because it is the obvious truth.
