The Great Reset — COVID-19 Pandemic (January 12, 2020)
The Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22° Capricorn coincided with the emergence of COVID-19. Global lockdowns, economic shutdown, remote work revolution, and the most rapid vaccine development in history. The world before January 2020 ceased to exist. The social contract between governments and citizens was tested as never before in peacetime.
The Sky: Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn
Saturn-Pluto conjunctions are the most feared aspect in mundane astrology. Every conjunction since 1914 has coincided with war, pandemic, or systemic crisis. In Capricorn — the sign of government and structure — this one literally shut down the structures of global society. The 33-38 year cycle is remarkably consistent.
The Great Conjunction — The Air Era Begins (December 21, 2020)
The first Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in an air sign in ~200 years. This marked the shift from the 'Earth era' (materialism, industry, resources) to the 'Air era' (information, technology, networks). mRNA vaccines, remote work, cryptocurrency, and AI all accelerated. The previous Air era ran ~1186–1405 (scholasticism, universities, the Silk Road's information exchange).
The Sky: Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius (Great Conjunction)
Great Conjunctions shift elements every ~200 years. This new Air era will run to ~2219, defined by information technology, artificial intelligence, and networked consciousness. Every Great Conjunction in a new element marks a civilisational pivot point. We are living through one now.
