[A note to subscribers: Last night I pushed the wrong button and a post entitled “Carol Marak. Exceptional” was posted. I noticed the mistake a second later, and deleted, but that was too late for you! I often do this, put up something as a note just to remind myself of what I want to do the next day, and leave it as a draft. And I’ve also pushed the wrong button before, publishing by mistake, and then instantly deleting it. So here is that same post, now fleshed in.]

Last night I received notice of a wonderful post from a new friend Carol Marak (she recently published her story on the Baby Picture Project).

After reading through the first part I just knew it had to be reposted here. Once again, it’s about the Jupiter/Saturn/Pluto conjunction 2020, but the possible historical context this astrologer, Rebekah Hirsch, gives to it BLEW MY MIND.

2020, AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR: THE PLUTO, SATURN, JUPITER CONJUNCTION IN CAPRICORN

Published April 23, 2020

I excerpt the first part here, placing parts of it in bold letters.

Anyone who takes an interest in astrology will be aware that we are now experiencing the much heralded conjunction of Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter in the sign of Capricorn. Jupiter was the last to join the conjunction, entering Capricorn in December 2019. Since then, the three planets have been moving closer and closer together and this comes to a head on November 13th, 2020, when they will be lined up within 5 degrees of one another. (This means that they appear to be lined up one behind the other when viewed from the Earth.) The conjunction of these three planets, in the sign of Capricorn, is an extremely rare occurrence. The last time Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter were together in Capricorn was in 1285, at the time of the Crusades. Before that, the previous time they lined up was in 1894 BCE!

When I mentioned this to a friend, he told me that 1894 BCE might have been around the time of the birth of the civilisation of Babylon. Intrigued, I went to Wikipedia and looked up “Babylon” and went straight to a sentence which said: “Babylonia – A small Amorite-ruled state which emerged in 1894 BCE” Wow! Is it possible that in November 2020 western civilisation may be completing a great cycle of time that began nearly 4,000 years ago in Babylon?

Babylon does not get good press in the Bible, but it was here that some of the earliest known sets of laws were created – rules for regulating trade and settling disputes. In those ancient times, the idea of establishing rules to better manage human behaviour was a precursor for the development of the Judaic, Christian and Islamic civilisations that emerged from the Middle East.

I think that the wheel has NOW turned full circle and we are living in a time when a new kind of civilisation can emerge, better aligned with the humanitarian values of the Age of Aquarius. (Sometime around the Millennium we entered into the Age of Aquarius, which will last for the next 2,000 years. The archetype associated with Aquarius is that of Prometheus the Fire Bringer – the spirit of social evolution and revolution and the guardian of the human race.) Right now, in 2020, we have an exceptional line-up of planets pointing towards the potential for humanity to make a giant shift of consciousness – equal to that which was birthed back in 1894BC.

Wow! And what is the Trump administration igniting, given its focus on shifting from militarism to commerce, from constant war to peaceful bi-lateral trading relations among nations as equals by creating new “rules for regulating trade and settling disputes”?

Does this Jupiter/Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn conjunction 2020 inaugurate a new nearly-4000 year cycle, one that shifts humanity from wholes composed of Capricorn dominant/submissive hierarchies enforced by WAR to a 4000 year Aquarian Age cycle of PEACE mutually creating and honoring decentralized, horizontal wholes composed of sovereign equals? 

As I say, my mind is blown.
