A few years ago, it seemed impossible to know what this would mean, and how such a transition could take place. But then the 2020 pandemic arrived. It shook every country in the world, not just through fatalities, but by changing the habits and rhythms of everyone\u2019s daily lives. Those in privileged positions worked from home and still enjoyed a healthy economy. Others risked much more as essential workers and had to expose themselves to the corona virus daily. Many simply lost their jobs. Many went hungry and are still hungry. The pandemic precipitated the biggest economic crisis in modern history.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Climate<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction takes place every 20 years, but this one is special. It is the beginning of a new 800-year cycle in the Air element, and it marks the end of a 200-year cycle in the Earth element. The Earth element cycle marked the age of capitalism and the exploitation \u2013 some would say rape \u2013 of the Earth\u2019s resources. Who cared about Air? We just pumped smoke through chimneys, cigarettes and exhaust pipes. Coal, oil, factory farming and the mass production of meat, money, ambition and greed. We have all indulged our love of private property.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Age of Air begins. It is so big. Take cars for example. Electric or hydrogen powered, there will be no exhaust. The electricity grid? Powered by renewable energy, decentralized, with every household delivering and receiving power from every other household. Just like an electric version of Skype. We cannot imagine the repercussions of this. Should we own cars, when we can just pop in to the nearest car. Traffic jams or accidents? They are not going to happen, because every car will be a lot more intelligent that its driver. Drivers?<\/p>\n<p>Today, New Delhi is almost impossible to breathe in. Greenpeace estimates 50,000 people die of air pollution each year in this city. By 2040 the air will be clear, the sky blue and the traffic a smooth uninterrupted flow. In every city. In just a few years\u2019 time, no company will be able to even sell a diesel or petrol car.<\/p>\n<p>Each area where there has been pollution will undergo a transformation which will radically reduce or eliminate pollution. This does not mean that temperatures and sea levels will not rise, but international agreements will slow the process and make it manageable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Russia<br \/>\n<\/strong>The major events in Russia have historically resonated with Saturn-Neptune conjunctions, which often signify State measures to alleviate poverty and suffering. Clearly often failing. 1917 \u2013 The Russian revolution, 1953 \u2013 Stalin\u2019s death, 1989 \u2013 the dissolution of the Soviet Union, mark the 36-year Saturn-Neptune conjunction cycle. You don\u2019t have to be a great mathematician to see that the next conjunction will be in 2025, which is the year Putin\u2019s presidency officially was to end.<\/p>\n<p>Until he changed the constitution to add two extra presidential terms beyond that year.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter. Putin, who was born on the 1953 Saturn-Neptune conjunction, will leave in 2025-26. The only question is how peaceful the process will be. The next election \u2013 which will as usual be corrupt \u2013 will be on March 17th 2024, when Saturn is at 11 Pisces and the Sun conjoins Neptune at 27 Pisces, so it is going to be a foggy affair. Still, Putin\u2019s progressed Sun will conjoin his Mars, so he will be in the mood for a little war.<\/p>\n<p>The Saturn-Neptune conjunction is almost exact at 2 Aries in July 2025, then Saturn goes retrograde and makes its final pass in February 2026 at 0 Aries. This is a fiery place to have such a monumental conjunction, and the transition from Pisces to Aries suggests a dissolution and perhaps violent rebirth. The conjunction squares the 1991 Russian horoscope\u2019s Sun, so it is likely that leadership is completely undermined at this time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2975 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Russia-horoscope.png\" alt=\"Russia-horoscope\" width=\"500\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Russia-horoscope.png 500w, https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Russia-horoscope-300x293.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Russian \u2013 Flag up. 25th December 1991, 20.45 Moscow AS 25 Leo<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously Pluto, which has entered Aquarius, conjoins Russia\u2019s Saturn at 5 Aquarius, suggesting the destruction of social structures.

As Pluto conjoins the Moon and Ascendant, Uranus moves into Gemini \u00a0and trines Pluto. There will be a set of 6 of these trines from 2025-29, marking a vast change in China\u2019s social fabric. With the Sun at 7 Libra and the Moon at 3 Aquarius, there is rather a wonderful series of grand trines taking place. As Chinas progressed Ascendant and MC move into Gemini and Aquarius respectively, harmonizing with the Moon and Sun, it is difficult to imagine that the country will do anything other than prosper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2976 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Uranus-Pluto.png\" alt=\"Uranus-Pluto trines\" width=\"600\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Uranus-Pluto.png 600w, https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Uranus-Pluto-300x229.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Series of six rare Uranus-Pluto trines from 2025-2028<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On one level this seems rather magnificent for China\u2019s Belt and Road initiative, which is a massive plan to extend Chinese influence throughout the world. In this period it is highly likely that the technological dominance of China will be established. Already, after witnessing the lamentable handing of the pandemic in the USA, Chinese people young and old are convinced their communist country is far superior, whilst the power of the USA is fading.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2980 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/China-horoscope.png\" alt=\"China-horoscope\" width=\"500\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/China-horoscope.png 500w, https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/China-horoscope-300x292.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><em>China: 1st October 1949. 15.15.

The Moon conjoining China\u2019s Ascendant show the people ruling \u2013 it\u2019s the People\u2019s Republic of China \u2013 and in the period from 2025-29 the people will take power and react against autocracy. Although the Sun-Moon trine shows support from the People to the Party, Pluto on the Moon unleashes the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat. How will that go down with Xi Jinping, who like Putin is also born on the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction from 1953? Like Putin, President Xi also had the constitution changed to allow him to maintain power well into the future. His North Node is at 3 Aquarius \u2013 exactly on China\u2019s Moon \u2013 and the 2026 Saturn-Neptune conjunction squares his Mars at 0 Cancer. He may lose his grip as changes sweep through the population.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The USA<br \/>\n<\/strong>It is said that Donald Trump is planning to run in 2024. This is not going to happen. With the buildup of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, conditions were good for his autocratic and extreme governing style. But Trump was an anomaly, and he was only ever going to be a one-term president. (Note 1) The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius sets the scene for a new socially-conscious style of government ill-suited to the narcissism of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the lunar eclipse in Trump\u2019s chart, with the Sun at 22 Gemini and the Moon at 21 Sagittarius was hit by a solar eclipse on December 14th 2020 when Joe Biden\u2019s victory was confirmed by the Electoral College. In 2021 Neptune will make repeated squares to Trump\u2019s Sun and Moon, which will almost certainly bring him into discredit and reveal that the real swamp that needed draining was the Trump empire.<\/p>\n<p>Because of Joe Biden\u2019s age, there has been speculation that he may not actually survive the next 4 years. He will be 82 at the next election. Also of interest is the so-called Tecumseh curse, which was the prediction that all presidents elected in zero years \u2013 1900, 1920, 1940 etc. \u2013 would not survive until the end of their terms. This was true from 1840 to 1960 (when Kennedy was elected), but Reagan survived an assassination attempt in 1980, and George W Bush was fine. Perhaps the curse was only effective for the period when Saturn-Jupiter conjunctions were in Earth signs.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is worth taking a look at Kamala Harris\u2019 horoscope to see if there are any indications that she will assume power. She has a great horoscope for governance with a full moon constellating harmoniously with Saturn in Aquarius, so competence, cooperation and leadership come naturally to her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2977 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Kamala-Harris-horoscope.png\" alt=\"Kamala-Harris-horoscope\" width=\"500\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Kamala-Harris-horoscope.png 500w, https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Kamala-Harris-horoscope-300x286.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Kamala Harris. 20th October 1964 21.28 Oakland, California AS: 24 GE<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Her Sun progressed went to conjoin her Descendant and South Node when she became vice-president. In itself this was quite a good clue to the Democrats winning the election. What is interesting is that her progressed Mercury is retrograde and it conjoins the Sun three years into Biden\u2019s presidency. Also at this time Kamala\u2019s progressed Sun is trine her natal Moon. Either she takes over here, or she is appointed to be the Democratic candidate in 2024. At the November 2024 election her Sun progressed is exactly sextile Saturn.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing. Between November election and the January 2025 Inauguration, Pluto moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, which means the Inauguration horoscope has the Sun conjoining Pluto within one degree. This could mean a Black president. (When Obama was president, transit Pluto conjoined USA\u2019s Venus, then Jupiter, then the Sun.) It\u2019s a long shot, but it\u2019s a possibility. The election chart has a Moon-Venus conjunction in Sagittarius, so a woman with foreign roots may well be one of the candidates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Light, Motion and the Body<br \/>\n<\/strong>The new age of Air is an age when everything is about particles and waves. Heat as a byproduct of light will be eliminated, just as diodes replace filaments in light bulbs. Surfaces will no longer be warm, but cool. Most energy will be generated directly from chemical or light sources, instead of burning fossil fuels. No more chimneys. No more fire.<\/p>\n<p>Physical wars will slowly become redundant, but cyber wars will not. This will require a whole new set of treaties to avoid global meltdown. Control of the airwaves will become far more important than control of territory.<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis on Aquarius will see the rise of implants, particularly in the brain, and especially after Pluto enters Aquarius. Whether you like it or not, robots and cyborgs will be everywhere, and devices will enhance the human body and mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Economy<br \/>\n<\/strong>People think of the concept of a Universal Basic Income as a Utopian idea, but the pandemic triggered the first mass experiment in UBI, when governments \u2013 even in the USA \u2013 distributed cash to large swathes of the population. The passage of Uranus through Taurus, and the tectonic changes affecting national economies in 2021 and 2022 as Saturn and Uranus clash, will bring a huge reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2978 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Saturn-Uranus.png\" alt=\"Saturn-Uranus square\" width=\"600\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Saturn-Uranus.png 600w, https:\/\/www.astrowow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Saturn-Uranus-300x219.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><em>The Saturn-Uranus squares from 2021-2022<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This will be the immediate challenge for USA after Trump, and the UK and EU after Brexit.
