We are in extremely pivotal times. We are entering several new eras. Some of these new eras began several years ago during the covid-19 pandemic while others are beginning this year in 2025. In this post, I will focus on two planetary conjunctions that were the first to introduce us into this new era that we are in, the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction and the Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction. I will also talk about Jupiter in Gemini and Mars in Cancer, as these transits have been key for the USA’s birth chart. There are other cycles that speak to this new era as well like Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries. I will soon share about Uranus heading into Gemini and more about the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, two more signifiers of a new era.
The new era that we entered began with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January 2020, which symbolized the destruction of the covid-19 pandemic. In Richard Tarnas’ book, Cosmos and Psyche, he points out that, “The alignments of the Saturn-Pluto cycle coincided with especially challenging historical periods” signifying an “end to an era,” and the ending of life as we had known it. Tarnas points out that the First and Second World Wars, the September 11th attacks in the United States, the Black Plague, and the AIDS epidemic all happened during a challenging Saturn-Pluto alignment. On The Astrology Podcast, Tarnas states that
“the Saturn-Pluto combination is often one of confinement; the capacity for courage under great pressure, facing extremely dangerous circumstances, tremendous powers of organization and ordering and extremely hard labour being focused on a particular purpose that is sustained day after day with great intensity…And often the things that happen under the Saturn-Pluto alignments tend to endure in their consequences.”
We experienced the confinement with the lockdowns and social isolation at the beginning of 2020 just after the Saturn-Pluto conjunction peaked. There was the ordering of hard labor with essential workers having to continue to show up, put their health and lives at risk to care for society. As Tarnas points out, “All of these people were being exposed to COVID of the way the social inequalities are hierarchically established in our society, and on they’re facing the Saturn-Pluto more at that level of facing death, facing mortality, risking themselves with very hard labor.”
Our lives are forever changed from the pandemic even though we are no longer declared in one. The effects of the pandemic continue to ripple throughout our lives. Saturn-Pluto cycles have an enduring affect because Saturn endures, it’s about things that last a long time, and Pluto intensifies whatever planet it touches, so, in this case, Pluto was magnifying the significations of Saturn. Saturn represents boundaries, restrictions, death and dying, suffering, aloneness, loneliness, maturity, authority, security, reliability, the establishment, tradition, status, law and order, long-lasting systems, discipline, control. Pluto signifies depth, extremes, power, death and rebirth.
