Jupiter conjoins Saturn in Aquarius on December 21. This particular planetary pairing has symbolized the overthrow of kings and collapse of governments for centuries which is why it was referred to as the “great” conjunction by ancient Persian astrologers. Thankfully the changes in store won’t be as dramatic. Indeed this marks a new beginning for you but it won’t be the sort that’s celebrated by trumpets or the cutting of a red ribbon. It’s more like the fresh start that comes with sloughing off the old skin. You may see the collapse of obligations that have overstayed their welcome, the loosening of responsibilities that have lost their relevance, and the exodus of people who were supposed to be in charge but were found wanting. The creates an opportunity for you to step up to the plate and to do what you do best. Signs most affected: Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces
