Covid - an astrological exploration

 


 

So back in November 2020, I thought I would take a look at the Covid picture.

 

I started really optimistically thinking,” oh great the Saturn Jupiter conjunction is coming up at 0 degree Aquarius, surely that will mean a change for the better”

 

I had every intention of completing this analysis and posting it before the end of November. At that time everyone was taking about how great Christmas with the family would be

 

Unfortunately, the more I looked at the picture, the more depressed I became and I decided to hold off from putting a damper on everyone’s spirits. There was no point. One of the lessons of astrology is “What will be, will be”.

 

 

Anyway, we’re six months on now and more philosophical about the gains of vaccinations and the losses of new variants, so I thought I would revisit my work out of interest rather than any great desire for a positive answer.

 

Let us start with the history. There is uncertainty about the first identified case but some evidence in Chinese media that one was identified on 17th November 2019. So here is a chart for noon that day.

 

 

  

We are not surprised to see the Pluto Saturn conjunction in this chart, of course it sums up the response to the pandemic and oppositite the Moon representative of the people in general.

 

We also see that the Moon is trine Neptune suggesting spread and trine Mercury retrograde signifying both the virus and its hidden nature.

 

Other factors in the chart are the wide opposition between Mars and Uarnus. Mars is sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius . As I mentioned Jupiter is important as it relates to the lungs as well as the liver. Here it is in its own sign which normally suggests things are coming up roses, but we mustn’t forget it also magnifies – in this case it is magnifying the inflamation. And of course Sagittarius is half man half beast – the perfect place for a virus to jump species.

 

If I had to put a date on when the virus made its escape it would be early September of 2017. When Mercury and Mars were in a stellium in Virgo and the  Moon was with Jupiter, but that’s just astrological speculation.

 

 We need to stick to the known facts in order to look forward.

 

 

 

 

The first thing we notice is that Saturn by transit has reached the 17Nov Pluto and the Moon has progressed to oppose it.

 

Now Mercury and the Sun are in Capricorn with Jupiter and about to start to spread the news through governments and organisations across the globe. The Moon is now in the same sign as Neptune

 

Mars is still in Scorpio at this stage. One sign away from its original position.

 

We won’t go through the details of the whole of 2020. We know that the virus spread rapidly in the Western nations in the spring when Jupiter Saturn and Pluto were together and activated by Mars. We also know that as Saturn went into Aquarius and Jupiter retrograde actions were taken and the virus was subdued at least in some places for a few months. Now with the triple conjunction activated again  it is back with a vengeance.

 

It is worth noting though that on March 11th the WHO ackowledged that there was a global pandemic. On that date the Sun separating from Neptune was at 21 Pisces and Jupiter was at 21 Caprircon. The progresed Moon was by then opposite Pluto and trine the origianal chart’s Sun ( I think we can probably deduce from this that the Sun is WHO in this story)

 

But obviously when I started this, what I was interested is was the story of how we got here but the prospects for an end to it.

 

I was convinced that what we needed to see was planets changing signs and the end of that nasty Capricorn conjunction.

 

The progressed Moon had already changed sign in August 2019 and that has not helped. We needed more concrete movement.

 

We could at least see a change in December when both Saturn and Jupiter move into Aquarius and conjoin on 21/22 December. Hopefully that change is good ( relating to treatment or vaccine) and not an evolution of the virus. This was when my heart sank- what if the change was a new strain?

 

And of course as we now know late December was when the talk of new varinants began ( though it is notable that some of these wee already established in the montsh prior to December.

 

But I also concluded that even if there weer positives to be had in December we must accept that the virus in some form is likely to be around until Pluto leaves Capricorn and  Neptune moves into Aries in  2024.

 

I thought that interesting times to look out for are likely to be:

 

 

May 2021 Uranus opposes the 17Nov Mercury.

Jan 2022 Progressed Mars changes sign into Scorpio

Feb/March 2022 When Jupiter reaches 17 Nov Neptune

 

Well- no one can now doubt the May 2021 date!And this validates the chart somewhat.

 

But, on reflection though we need to be more dispassionate about this.

 

The fact is that diseases don’t always just turn up for a few months and disappear in the way Sars did in 2002/3.  The plague was around for centuries and indeed still exists. Smallpox was around for centuries until its eventaul eradication a few decades ago. Aids has now existed for 40 years or more and alathough it was firstidentified at the last Pluto/Saturn/Jupiter conjunction most definitely did not disappear when those planets moved along a sign. And of course we have the common cold which is a permanent fixture albeit usually a mild one.

 

We can’t just assume that Covid will leave when Pluto moves into Aquarius, though perhaps we can conclude that the effect of its spread will reduce when Neptune leaves Pisces.

 

The fact is we cannot rule out the possibility that Covid is a product of a wider cycle – e.g. the Pluto Neptune cycle. On that basis it could be around in some form for  decades or even hundreds of years.

 

Maybe we were asking the wong question. Perhaps the right question is to go back and consider each country again and see its challenges and opportunities without too much concern for whether it is a virus or leadership or demographics or economics  that creates those challenges and opportunities.

 

But at least if we want to further consider Covid’s evolution we do have a chart that seems to work.
