I'm on the fence in regard to the authenticity of astrology, but I take an interest [largely so that I can scoff at how ridiculous it all is].
So I do follow my horoscope on a few select sites and I do get a newsletter from one site. On a whim I looked back at the email newsletter I received last December 31st. This is a general overview of the coming year for all signs, not just for one particular sign. Here it is:
'The current quality of time
Some myths and fairy tales tell of a hero's journey during which someone has to face challenging trials, cross unknown seas or survive dangerous encounters with powers of the underworld. Usually, all ends well, and the hero returns home with a valuable gift, a magical object, or blessed wisdom. The astrological constellations in January and throughout 2020 contain all the ingredients for such a story. The quality of time is extraordinary in its intensity. It is hard to believe that we will all suddenly become heroes and heroines. In the coming months, however, we will certainly bear witness to profound changes in social life.
The dominant constellation is the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, which will be exact on January 12. Now it will become abundantly clear which foundations in our society have become too fragile to offer reliable stability. Corrections are inevitable. Where these are denied, fierce confrontations are to be expected. Thus for some time, your personal path could lead you through challenging terrain where every step counts, just as the heroine and the hero must experience on their journey. Your room for manoeuvre may be limited, as many things are now subject to the laws of necessity for some time to come.
On January 10, the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto is heralded by the Full Moon on the Cancer-Capricorn axis, with a penumbral lunar eclipse. The Cancer Moon draws our attention to the fact that social structures, rules and powers only make sense if they serve the people. On January 13, the Sun will be directly aligned with the conjunction of the two planets at 23° Capricorn. During this time, light and shadow may struggle intensely for sovereignty. It is a time of initiation, in which the inner light can clearly show itself - a first climax in a year that will offer us still some further ingredients of a genuine hero's journey.
During the remaining days of January, we can hardly expect any relaxation, but at least a relief from the feeling of paralysis. On January 20, the Sun enters Aquarius and subsequently forms a square with Uranus in Taurus on January 23. After the experience of the leaden heaviness of the previous days, creative and freedom-loving forces now become active again, particularly at the time of the New Moon in Aquarius on January 24.
It is very likely that the events of this time will be felt by people of all signs of the zodiac. It is a time of collective upheaval, and the effects can be seen in many areas of life. Those who have the Sun, Ascendant or other planets in the last 10 degrees of the cardinal zodiac signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra will be even more involved. They will experience the events more intensely in the personal field.
Be aware that with this quality of time, authentic action can have effects in the collective field. Be courageous and do not let yourself be discouraged. The further constellations during the year 2020 offer great opportunities for sustainable and beneficial changes, especially for the cardinal signs of the zodiac mentioned above.'
