My blog this December is a little Christmas gift to you all, I have put together a list of significant yet generic dates of importance a 2020 astrology go to guide. Conjunctions in particular but also aspects to natal positions in your birth chart within a degree of the following celestial events, will be particularly significant to you personally in 2020. Please note that as I am based on the East coast of Australia, the time and dates are for PGT +10 UTC & AEST +10 UTC which is +11 in Australia during daylight saving but stays at +10 in Papua New Guinea all year. A super Moon if mentioned is a new or full Moon that comes within 361,740 km of Earth, this signifies the emotional or daily events are slightly more personal or closer to heart than a normal new or full Moon at this time. However, you will need to take into consideration weather your chart is effected by aspect closely as I mention above, the combination of the two considerations needs to be applied. I also mention blue Moons these are a 2nd full Moon in a month not seen as astrologically significant although auspicious none the less. I also highlight Solar and Lunar eclipse dates these signify significant change over longer periods and planetary retrogrades where the planetary influence becomes closer to home is revised or sours for example. And planets leaving the bounds of the Sun, these planets rebel against authority and become more pronounced during these periods, I have excluded the Moon however as it happens frequently and for short intervals.
