When Santa Claus meets the Grim Reaper on 2020 Winter Solstice

Its actually not bad at all — its very good…

A modern metaphor for Jupiter might be Santa Claus. When we think of Santa Claus we picture a jolly old fat sage in a red suit and hat. He is happy, generous, optimistic, on the grandiose side, probably opinionated too, and has some international appeal. Jupiter, the Roman God is analogous to the Greek’s Zeus.

Conversely Saturn is often depicted as the Grim Reaper — a dark hooded figure with a scythe — the angel of death. Saturn has been given a bad rap due to his constraints and limitations. Anyone who has had accomplishments has done so through hard work; has had deadlines, set-backs, etc. They have known the power and authority of accomplishment, especially when it has been acknowledged by their peers (examples of awards for excellence: The National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, The Oscar, The Nobel Prize, winning the Presidency of the United States to name a few.)

When their electromagnetic energies meet as in this “great conjunction” on 12/21/20 just after 10 am PST on the Winter Solstice then let the great alchemical blending begin… First thought — the energies cancel each other out. Not true: this astrologer is exuding a lazy brain demeanor.

The Santa Claus energy is being injected into the seeming harshness of disciplined hard work, focus and drive for accomplishment yielding opportunities for great abundance and prosperity for the next 20 years (since a great conjunction like this one occurs approximately every twenty years). Since this occurs on the solstice (winter — north of the equator) and (summer solstice south of the equator) this marks a new beginning in the sign of Capricorn. I look to the southern hemisphere for new leadership and creativity equal and/or better to us northern types.
