This years Christmas - or Saturnalia/Sol Invictus - will be more Capricornian/Saturnian than usual.
Why?
Firstly, because the Sun enters Capricorn as usual on the 21st, which is the official start of a new season (winter in the northern hemisphere, summer in the southern hemisphere), but this year it's conjunct Pluto in zero degrees of Capricorn. Pluto re-entered Capricorn on 27th November. The two will be closely conjunct on the winter solstice, colouring the whole season weatherwise in particular, and possibly socially/politically too, especially for the UK where the Sun-Pluto conjunction is on the MC of the winter season's chart.
Secondly, because Saturn is slowing down throughout December and stations on 31st December turning retrograde at 6:08pm - New Year's Eve. It will then move slowly throughout January, while the Sun is moving through Capricorn.
There's a resonance between these three things - Pluto at zero degrees Capricorn, Sun entering Capricorn conjoining Pluto at zero degrees, and Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) being slow and stationary throughout the Capricorn period.
Capricorn is symbolic of the horn of plenty and the golden age. These days in our culture we translate that into the golden age of consumerism. Slowing down, changing direction, anyone?
Thank you very much
