Eclipses Forecasting for December 2020

It will be very busy for astrologers in next few days, we have Solar Eclipse on 14th December, Saturn move back to Aquarius on 15th,  Jupiter ingress Aquarius on 19th,  Capricorn ingress on 21st Dec and Jupiter Saturn conjunction on someday. Seriously, I feel overwhelmed by all the analyse I have to work on

Eclipse happened in Sagittarius suggest that the Law, Religion, Foreigner affaire , higher education , international politic, international trading are the major issue that we should focus on,  the fire element indicate the war , military action , riots , explosion , robbery , mining , furnace , wildfire, hot weather , energy power and lightning may draw our attention. 

Although this total solar eclipse can only be observed in South America, but surely it influence will no limit in this area, however the South America may face stronger impact. 

In the Eclipse chart New Moon conjunct with Mercury, this suggests problems maybe related to  communication, transport, education, children  and young people. Mars in Aries trine new Moon offers a little bit help, it gives power to move forward , however the square to Neptune and semisetile to Pluto indicate the pandemic situation is more likely last a little bit longer.    Jupiter as the ruler of this Solar Eclipse is not in a good condition, Jupiter in Capricorn in its fall and sextile Venus in Scorpion ( detriment )  indicate we may not return to normal as we want but it will not be that bad. 

Sun and Moon conjunct at 23 Sagittarius this align with the Ras Alhague the fixed star in Ophiucus, the symbol of healer, at this moment we are still under the influence of COVID-19’s threat, even the vaccine and treatment are appeared but still not available for everyone, the Sun and Moon align with Ras Alhague suggest we have to in one way take this pandemic more seriously , in another way it suggest we have take time to heal and balance our life.   

UK & EU

The Eclipse chart in UK and EU has the new moon in 6th house, this suggest  that no matter what is the result of the Brexit talk, both side will have damage in the industry and business, especially working class people will face huge impact, factories maybe face certain interruption related to energy ( Sun ), water (Moon ) distribution and transporting ( mercury ). The working class should get support from Charities, Unions and Parliament as Mars in Aries rule 6th and 11th which reduce the impact on these people. If we check the astromap the Pluto Saturn Jupiter Ds line and Neptune MC line pass by East European countries and Russia may be indicating the pandemic situation will be more serious in these area. 

The U.S

The U.S has Eclipse in 10th all the media focus at this moment is the presidential election, although the result is clear but President Trump and his support are not concede, fortunately there is no indication suggest huge conflict will happen until next spring (  Aries  Ingress 2021  ), however certain political disruption or “ undermine “ are in process as Mars Pluto square and Pluto as Ascendent and 12th house ruler.  In the Astromap we have Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, lines across Midwest areas if people do not take pandemic seriously, it will have terrible consequences. 

China, Hong Kong, Taiwan


With new Moon tightly conjunct IC, the conflict of the border between China and India will be the main issue for next year. Also 4th house related to the opposition party, this will be very important in Taiwan, and in Hong Kong this suggests the  pro-democrat anti government actions maybe will be the major concern of government. IN China as there is no opposition party in an authoritarian regime, 4th issues may be related to housing policy and house price and this also apply to  HK and Taiwan.  

Saros Cycle 142

This Solar Eclipse belong to the number  Saros series 142, it started on 17th April 1624, it has Mars, Jupiter Pluto aspect Node suggest highly active energy, in one way it can increase the productive forces, in another way it may be causing more conflicts. Saturn square Uranus is an important astrological configuration this will echo the  Saturn Uranus conjunction and both sextile Node in 1624 chart ( when this series began ).  We usually see the important events develop or evolve with Saros cycles, as it take long time to process these are usually important and has a huge impact.  

The same series include  1768, 1786, 1804, 1822,1840, 1858,1876, 1894, 1912, 1930,1948, 1966,1984, 2002.

In 1768 while the conflict increases between the British Empire  and North American colony, 12 years after in 1786 when 6 states of the U.S resulting in the scheduling of the Philadelphia Convention to draft a national constitution, and process began from May 1787. Will this indicate something relate to the U.S constitution may be happening next year? Interestingly, at this moment Trump is trying to overturn the result of the presidential election, but do you know one of the most contentious presidential elections in American history also happen during Saros cycle 142, in the 1876 presidential elections   Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, eventually the Democrats conceded the election to Hayes in return for an end to Reconstruction and the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. The Confederation Congress establishes the United States Mint to make common coinage and currency for the U.S in 1786. As of this moment the U.S faces Pluto return and  this maybe trigger  economic system reform.

We all know UK will leave E.U from January 2021 after this Eclipse, but the UK’s relationship with the EU was indeed started from the same Saros cycle when United Kingdom applied for EEC membership in 1967 (  Saros Cycle 142 ) and eventually Join EEC in 1973.  In the same Saros cycle series in 2003 was the year when most East European countries join EU  the at same year EU proposes the first European Constitution.

 In 1876 China stared attacked Xingjinag (Uighur) started the process to make Uighur become part of China called “ Xing Jian “, and same year famine happened in China. 12 years after,  China lost first Sino- Japanese war and signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, Taiwan has become Japanese colony, but the Taiwanese people against the Treaty of Shimonoseki and formed the short-lived Republic of Formosa.  The cultural revolution was also related to this Saros cycle, it started in 1966 and it has influence in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong 1967 leftist riots were indeed related to cultural revolution. And again in the Same Saros cycle, 1984 was the year when United Kingdom started the process to hand over Hong Kong to China,  the  Joint Declaration on the future of Hong Kong were signed on 19 Dec 1984.  And we know Uighur, Hong Kong and Taiwan are the current political hot spots for China and Saros cycle indicate important development may happens with Eclipse.

The fear of AIDS increasing first on 4th March 1984 The U.S. FDA approves a blood test for AIDS, used hereafter to screen all U.S. blood donations, in April World Health Organization (WHO) hosted the first International AIDS Conference, by the end of year the actor Rock Hudson dies from AIDS.Interestingly, on 14 December 2020, on the same day of Solar Eclipse UK health authority announced lifting a blanket ban for any men who have had sex with men in the last three months.

The other things related to  Saros series 142 maybe also will have further developed during this time, include The Internet’s Domain Name System was created in 1985, and The first UK cellular mobile phone network was launched by Vodafone. If you are old enough, you will remember “ We are the world was recorded in this year for help famine in Africa. The supersonic passenger jet, Concorde, makes its last ever flight in the end of 2003 .

It is very interesting to see similar things related by Saros cycle 142 and they all related to current events, apart from Solar Eclipse we will have Capricorn ingress and Jupiter Saturn conjunction. They are more or less showing same things, first the Covid-19 pandemic will last a little bit longer than we think. The Brexit maybe goes to cause some problems, but eventually both sides will find way to survive. However, I am not that optimistic about the economy, as both Jupiter and Saturn will square Uranus in Taurus in 2021, there is a big change we will facing another economic crisis again.

I was not prepared to write this article because it is very busy at work this moment, but I don’t know why once I finish my work, I started to write “ few lines “ about Eclipse, and eventually… I blame Mercury in Sagittarius conjunct with Solar Eclipse.

2020, Not a simple Jupiter- Saturn conjunction

In Mundane astrology, the Jupiter Saturn conjunction can be seen as a blueprint of social development. Jupiter represent ideas, theories, developments and truths, Saturn is about experience, executive, protection, limit and realties.

Every twenty years these two planets conjunct each other, and people start to carry out their plans, building up a different society from the experience (Saturn) and new ideas (Jupiter), when Jupiter conjunct Saturn a new planetary cycle begins. 

In 2020 there will be a Jupiter Saturn conjunction at 0 degree Aquarius on 21st December, this is an extremely important astrological configuration for the year, decade, or even century.

The characters of the Jupiter Saturn cycle are not only repeated every twenty years, there are at least two other things we need to notice. First, Jupiter and Saturn always conjunct in the same element (different signs) for about 200 years and the second is that there is a transition period called the great mutation which happens between the changeover of the two elements. This article will focus on these two themes as the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in 2020 marks the end of the Great mutation and the start of the influence of the Air element which will last for next 199 years.  

If we look at the different Jupiter Saturn conjunctions for more than 200 years, we find that Jupiter and Saturn always conjunct in the same element (but different signs) for around 200 years. For example, between 1802 and 2000, this conjunction happened mostly in Earth signs, apart from 1822 in Aries the Fire sign and 1980 in Libra the Air sign. If we also count the great mutation from the begin to the end that would make it around 240 years or more.

Therefore, the Jupiter Saturn conjunction not only indicates the important themes of next 20 years but also tells us the element that people will focus on for around 200 years. The change of elements follows the order: Fire, Earth Air, Water, then starting again at Fire.

Between 1365 and 1643, they happened mostly in water signs apart from 1385 and 1405 in the air signs and 1603 and 1623 in the fire signs. These fit into the age of discovery of human history, European explorers went outside the Mediterranean, across Atlantic Ocean,  discovered the Pacific Ocean and made the first circumnavigation of the globe between 1519 and 1522 by the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan.

Between 1603 and 1821, the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions occurred in Fire signs boosting social development, the industrial revolution, and also those revolutions which changed old political systems. These revolutions changed some regimes changed from monarchies to republics, democracies or autocracies and some made countries independent. We also notice the growth of materialism and reliance on substances when Jupiter Saturn conjunct in Earth signs, for example between 1802-2000, the new techniques and improvements give people a better material life.
