EXAMPLES:
Saturn conjunct Pluto Capricorn 22°46’ -- 2020, Jan 12 (11:59 EST):
- USHERED IN THE LOCKDOWNS AND CORONA PANIC
- in Saturn-ruled sign, Capricorn (the boss)
- in Capricorn degree (more boss)
- 3rd decan: Mercury/Gemini/Virgo energy (i.e. neighborhood, short-distance travel, shops, social media, communication, adaptation, study, information, logic, “health”)
- Gemini is connected to hands, hence “washing your hands” obsession. Gemini is also lungs, breath. Gemini can be nervous while Virgo can be neurotic/germophobe
- Pluto associated with purging, hence the toilet paper obssession. Pluto can also be too paranoid. Saturn is boundaries. People were paranoid about boundaries (social distancing)
- later that year was Saturn conjunct Jupiter 0°29’ -- 2020, Dec 21 (13:20 EST) -- taking some of the pressure off, bringing some expansion and hope to any order and structure that had to be attained/re-gained
Sun Conjunct Mercury Transit
"Sun conjunct Mercury transit puts the focus on your thinking and communications, and short distance travel. It brings mental alertness, quick thinking, adaptability, and curiosity. Expect an increase in personal interaction in your neighborhood, with siblings, schools, and over the internet.
So this will be a busy time with lots of appointments, correspondence, meetings, social activity, new information to process, and decisions to make. This is a good time for sharing ideas, making plans, buying and selling, negotiating, and meeting new people."
