Day 179 of 365 - Saturn-Pluto Conjunctions/Occultations
As the title implies, this is an astrology themed post. The word occult as a noun, refers to the knowledge of that which is hidden. As a verb, it refers to cutting off from view by interposing something. What I'm referring to today is times when the Moon cuts off the view of Saturn and Pluto when it sits between the Earth and those two planets which happen to be close together this year in the planetary view of the sky.
Because those are two slow moving planets, their conjunction, or appearance of being side by side, is a long term aspect unfolding over the course of this whole year. It actually began in December 2018 and will end at the end of January 2021. It is considered a big deal in astrology because this aspect only occurs every 38 years or so.
Saturn relates to time, structure, limits and matter and in a personal sense to your obligations and responsibility. Pluto represents the dark underground and on a personal level your need for fundamental change.
As it will take just over a year for the exact conjunction to occur, each month of this year there is a date when those two planets will appear close together in orbit and will also be occulted by the Moon. One astrologer I follow, Michael Lutin, says that at those times we may experience a sort of echo of events that happened at the time of the last cycle of Saturn-Pluto conjunctions/occultations. This occurred from October 1981 to December 1983. He suggests it is worthwhile thinking back to significant life events in that time period as there may be a revisiting of related energy.
During these conjunctions anything false is likely to get forcefully deconstructed. Saturn-Pluto conjunctions challenge all structures that were erected during the period that began at the previous cycle. Saturn-Pluto tests everything for strength and resilience. On a global level, this could result in significant economic and political change. At the time of the last cycle there was a short but severe economic recession in North America, for example.

'At the personal level you will have to think seriously, ask questions and seek advice before making plans about changing something in your life. Use patience and determination and consider how your plans affect those under your care, like your spouse or children.' (reference - Astrology King site)
Since I first read about this in recent weeks it has remained in the back of my mind. I'm assuming it is significant for me in some way. Thus, I have been thinking back to those years and the major personal and family events of the time. This is not meant to be a dire warning, more as information to guide us in moving forward in the next year. I have done further reading today and written this post to help make sense of it for myself as much as anything. Perhaps it will be of interest to some of you readers as well.
