That&#8217;s largely been the astrological story of 2020: the big kaboom of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction early in the year, with loud and obnoxious echoes fuelled by the planet Voted Most Likely To Invade Earth.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Wondering what the next few months hold in store for you? <a href=\"mailto:astrologyshow@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Write me with your date, time, and place of birth &#8212; and I&#8217;ll send you a free sneak preview!<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want to better understand how all of this might affect you, it&#8217;s time for you to review the major events in your life since about July of this year.<\/strong> Of course, life is always changing and the same exact things almost never happen twice because of exactly the same transit. But the repeat visit of a transit &#8212; especially when it comes as close in degrees as the list of squares below &#8212; will often deliver very similar results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Below is a list of the previous and upcoming squares between Mars and the major players of 2020 that it interacted with, and when it will do so again.<\/strong> And remember: the exact date is listed, but the aspect will be in effect for at least a week on either side of that day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mars square Jupiter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>August 4, 2020 &#8211; Jupiter at 19 degrees Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>October 19, 2020 &#8211; Jupiter at 19 degrees Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jupiter is off the Mars in Aries hook now, as it moves into Aquarius in December before Mars can get caught up. However, on <strong>January 23, 2021, Mars in Taurus is square Jupiter at 7 degrees Aquarius<\/strong>&#8230; the day after the exact Jupiter-Uranus square. Oh boy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mars square Pluto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>August 13, 2020 &#8211; Pluto at 23 degrees Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>October 9, 2020 &#8211; Pluto at 22 degrees Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>December 20, 2020 &#8211; Pluto at 23 Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pluto sure moves slowly, doesn&#8217;t it? At least this means we won&#8217;t have to deal with any more difficult Mars-Pluto aspects any time soon, and Pluto avoids the square to Uranus (unlike some other planets I know&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mars square Saturn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>August 24, 2020 &#8211; Saturn at 24 degrees Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>September 29, 2020 &#8211; Saturn at 25 degrees Capricorn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You might think that, since Saturn enters Aquarius in December, we&#8217;re off the Mars square Saturn hook. Bad news, folks: Saturn may be entering Aquarius, but it&#8217;s slower than Mars&#8230; which means that square will be happening again&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>January 13, 2021 &#8211; Saturn at 3 degrees Aquarius<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>November 10, 2021 \u00ad- Saturn at 7 degrees Aquarius<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One thing to be glad about: at least those last two hits are outside of range to be affected by Mars conjunct Uranus\/Saturn square Uranus.
