Jupiter Opposes Saturn May 23 - A Decade Past, The Decade Ahead

One of the great, consistent timing mechanisms in all of astrology is the meeting and opposition of Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter orbits the zodiac in a consistent 4,331 days. That is almost 12 years. A whole orbit of Saturn lasts 10,759 days. That is just under 29 and a half years. These two wind up in the same place in the sky for about half of one year every 20 years. At the halfway point, they are opposed in the sky. Throughout the history of astrology, epochs are marked as beginning with the meeting of Jupiter and Saturn in the heavens. These eras peak ten years later at the opposition mark. Soon after, the structures that have been created in the first decade following the meeting begin to crumble. It takes these ten years to pass to see what is truly lasting from the seeds planted at the get-together.

2010 will see Jupiter and Saturn oppose each other. This gives everyone in the astrological know a chance to examine where you have come from, where you are now and to foresee where you want to go. A decade in review at present can greatly assist you in reaching your potential in the decade ahead! Dream big with Jupiter but get down to business with Saturn.

Where were you in 2000? Jupiter and Saturn got together on May 28 of that year. You can draw a line in the historical sand and see so much that has changed since then. But while the planetary interactions affect the world at large, they also mark the happenings in your own life. Think back to what you were going through at that time…
