11.20.20 The meaning of Saturn conjunct US Pluto

With no planetary aspects today I thought it might be useful to talk a bit about this harbinger of the upcoming Pluto return in the US chart (read more about the US chart and 2020 effects here).  Saturn is exactly conjunct Pluto in the US chart today, completing a cycle which began in late February […]
