Every Zodiac Sign Will Feel The Effects Of The First “Christmas Star” In 600+ Years
The divine language of astrology is a sacred tool that's been harnessed for thousands of years; it translates universal patterns and the whispers of Mother Earth. Each transit carries its very own power, which is why I'll be sharing how the Great Conjunction "Christmas Star" of 2020 will affect every zodiac sign.
Taking place on the same day as the winter solstice — which occurs on Dec. 21 at exactly 1:20 p.m. ET — the reunion between the largest planet in the solar system (Jupiter) and the ringed gas giant (Saturn) happens every 20 years. More importantly, however, this will be the first time Jupiter and Saturn meet in the sign of Aquarius for the first time in over 600 years.
This rare alignment and planetary meeting will create a glimmering light, often referred to as the "Star of Bethlehem" or the "Christmas Star." While some believe the nicknames are due to the cosmic event's proximity to the holiday, there's more to it than that. According to Forbes, German astronomer Johannes Kepler believed this once-in-a-lifetime alignment was a triple conjunction among Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus in the story of the Three Wise Men.
Astrologically, this rare conjunction kicks off the beginning of a brand-new era. Jupiter is symbolic of expansion, growth, and the divine law; Saturn symbolizes boundaries and limits. Saturn's traditional sign of rulership, Aquarius, is the divine architect; this fixed air sign refines curiosities and ideas before turning them into formidable systems. This is an opportunity to build upon foundations created while Saturn was in Capricorn; it will envelop us individually and collectively.
In the meantime, here's what you can expect during The Great Conjunction, according to your zodiac sign:
