Jupiter-Pluto Conjunctions

There will be a conjunction between Jupiter and Pluto next year. If 29 Sagittarius is a key spot in your chart, mark your Calendars for December 11 - 14, 2007 when the aspect is exact and then head for the bomb shelter. The planets conjunct roughly every 12-13 years and this will be a quick one lasting only a few days. Since Jupiter rules Sagittarius its influence should be stronger than Pluto's this time around. It looks like the conjunctions in Cancer coincided with World War I and the Spanish Flu Epidemic (which killed more people than WWI) and then The Great Depression. That was a bad sign for Jupiter-Pluto. The first conjunction that occurred in Leo coincided with World War II, the second with the Korean War. The conjunction in Virgo with Vietnam and the assassinations of Martin Luther King in April and Bobby Kennedy in June. Libra with Israel. The one in Scorpio? There was a Civil War in Rwanda in April-July 1994; that's too early.

It's not all bad. Pluto was discovered in 1930 during a long Jupiter-Pluto conjunction. Must be the work of Jupiter's expansive qualities.

Bob Marks describes Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions in natal charts as signatures for taking on a different lifestyle than one was raised with. (www.bobmarksastrologer.com, check Astrology Lessons.)
