From Here to Saturn in Capricorn
Just before noon Eastern time on Tuesday, Dec. 19, Saturn arrives in Capricorn. Saturn’s pass over the Galactic Core and through the last degrees of Sagittarius describes the high-pressure madness we’ve been seeing, as well as the feeling of some people waking up.
For a brief refresher, Saturn (associated with structure, productivity, responsibility and authority) orbits the Sun in about 29 years, and therefore takes about two-and-a-half to three years to pass through each sign. It’s been in Sagittarius since late 2014 and is about to enter Capricorn. This particular change is significant in that Saturn will be entering a sign that it rules for the first time in a generation and, in the process, will make an aspect to the Aries Point, with its theme of the personal meeting the collective. This also commences the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, which peaks in 2020.
There are so many distinct astrological events between now and Saturn’s ingress into Capricorn that it seems like we’ll experience a microcosm of history in that time: of shuffling of developments and ideas, of changes, referrals in course, many little surprises and revelations, and a few big ones. World events have been so compressed lately that few might notice the difference.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 11
(The Day of Intensity) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
When you depend on others for money, they gain power over you that you don’t want them to have. If you want to actually be as free as you envision yourself being, that means being a master of your money. This must not be a separate thing but rather a deeply seated personal quality that you develop all the time. Gradually lean into this until you’re at full tilt.
Written in the Planets
On its present retrograde journey through Sagittarius, Mercury is making contact with a lot of objects. Today it forms a trine to Eris. When these two bodies meet, that can bring out the trickster; and there’s certainly a caution here about acting rebelliously just for the sake of it. Remember that words once uttered can’t be taken back, and think before you say them. On the other hand, if you’ve been feeling stuck on a specific idea, and need some fresh creative energy, this aspect may prove eminently useful.
