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.
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.
