2020-2021's Jupiter - Saturn conjunction in Capricorn: "Losing my religion"
As with all astrological things, there are multiple interpretations and influences each planet or conjunction has on several fields of human activity/life, but the one that Jupiter most obviously points tois Faith , and Jupiter in Capricorn(in detriment), conjunct Saturn, means our faith, not religion, is collectively, faltering. I wrote "religion" in the title because it was catchier and a reference to the R.E.M song, but Jupiter in reality, rules faith, not religion.
In fact, can you guess which planet actually shows religion? That's right, Saturn.
At least the Abrahamic religions, which are the most wide-spread, are ruled by Saturn. Why? Because Saturn, like the Abrahamic religions, likes a system of reward and punishment. Control, order, discipline. There is no coincidence that Saturn also signifies gears and limitations in astrology, since fears and limitations and regulations are massively reinforced in all the Abrahamic religions(and some non-Abrahamic religions, as well), but all in all, it is Saturn, not Jupiter, that signifies organized religions.
If you check the chart of any self-proclaimed "religious" person, you will see a prominent Jupiter-Saturn combination, either the conjunction of these 2 planets, or Saturn aspecting Jupiter , or Saturn in the 9th house of faith, or aspecting the 9th house. If a person becomes suddenly religious later in life, Saturn appears more prominently in the D9(Navamsa) chart, which shows an individual's life after mid-life, or after marriage, if the native is married.
Why am I even mentioning this? What is my point, you might say? Well, my point is that astrology, imho(in my humble opinion) encompasses and includes any and all known religions, which I find fascinating. In other words, a person's astrological profile(not just the natal chart, but all derivative charts as well) shows their faith: the level of faith they have, what they have faith in, if they are drawn to organized religions or not, if they are at risk of being brainwashed by a cult, or rallied into some fundamentalist group etc etc.
So why is it that Saturnians are drawn to organized religions? Well, it is easily understood because, as I said, most organized religions(except for maybe Wicca covens) imply a system of reward and punishment, which is the language Saturn understands best. Saturn-dominated folk want to believe that if they work hard, obey the written rules laid out by their forefathers, or whichever law-makers laid down their foundations of their religion of choice , they will eventually be rewarded for their efforts-in this life or the next, in the words of Maximus...
But the funny thing is it does not matter what religion you subscribe to, what matters is the amount of faith you have - this is why communists have always targeted religions and promoted atheism, because faith is a dangerous thing for a "subject" of the state to have.
Jupiter in Capricorn shows that a lot of people are under the rulership pf fear instead of the qualities pertaining to a healthy Jupiter(think Jupiter in Sagittarius or Pisces, its own signs):faith in manking, optimism, hope, joy of living, tolerance, kindness, inclusion, sense of justice, wisdom, knowledge, nobility of heart and intentions, idealism. A strong Jupiter, and a strongly Jupiterian person believes in those things without expecting any reward, unlike a damaged Jupiter, a Jupiter hampered by Saturn's human-imposed suffering and limitations.
So while Jupiter is in Capricorn, we are all under collective feelings of fear, and it is easy to fall pray to the idea that some irreversible damage is being done to our lives, it is all too easy to forget that history repeats itself, and the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction repeats itself roughly around every 60 years. We've been through worse things before, and made it out, do not let man-made fears fool you into thinking they are "God's will". The world is what we make it.
