Astrology, Humanity and the Coronavirus

by Kaliyani Sundari
What could the present microcosmic war against a virus have to do with Babylonia, Sumerian history and the beginning of the establishment of a new world consciousness and order? Our current cosmic planetary and stellar alignments are pointing to what's possibly the rarest of parallels between our present and our ancient past. Could we use this subtle sign post in natural law to assist us in navigating and transitioning from our current chaotic, vulnerable and unstable global condition? This is an attempt to doing just that and planting the seed for further exploration.
As soon as we began this new 2020 year, around mid January, a unique and very much talked about conjunction between the planets Saturn and Pluto also happened, while in the shadows, lured the beginning of a viral infection that slowly built its way into our current pandemic. Aside from all challenging circumstances it has brought, it's important to become aware that, on the other hand, our precious mother Earth, our beloved Terra-Gaia home, is certainly breathing better and deeply detoxifying, simply because us humans, her unconscious children, are now on lockdown and thus locked out of our toxic affairs, factories, cars, etc. Let's take a moment to really take this in.
Saturn in astrology is loosely referred to as a "malefic" planet, together with Mars and sometimes Pluto. Though such a term can be misleading at times, it denotes that these planets, especially Saturn and Pluto are powerful catalysts for our most painful growing lessons and transformation. Saturn represents Time, Karma, Restrictions, Structures, Law, Government, Discipline, Responsibility, Obligation, and Ambition. Pluto represents Power, Death, Rebirth, Transformation, Exorcism and Evolution; and has often been throughout history found to be inherently involved at times of war.
Jupiter, though usually considered a Benefic planet, representing Luck, Growth, Expansion, Optimism, Abundance, Understanding, Travel, Learning, and Teaching; when associated with this duo of Saturn and Pluto, it can become an amplifier for all other things, at least on the surface, apparently not so great.
Saturn had been in Capricorn, its ruling sign, thus in its full strength and exalted, since December of 2017 and Jupiter had entered Capricorn just this past December of 2019, when on January of this 2020 year, Pluto, which had been there since 2008, and Saturn, met at the same exact degree, forming the long anxiously awaited conjunction. This was also about the time when the first viral infections, even though unbeknownst to most, began to appear. By mid-March they were all 10 degrees of each other and by then, the pandemic had started to become a conscious global reality. If that were not enough, Mars and the Moon joined the stellium, however, on March 21-22, "luckily", Saturn moved temporarily into Aquarius for a short time where it will stay for around 3 months, until July 1st, while Jupiter, expanding Plutonian energies will remain in Saturn's sign of Capricorn.
Could Saturn's temporary move out of Capricorn mean we're being given a chance to integrate and process its karmic impact from January to March, so we could gain a little more perspective on how to handle the future when it returns? Possibly! Come July, Saturn will retrograde back to join Pluto and Jupiter again in Capricorn for the whole Summer, and beginning in October, all of them will be moving forward together, this time closer, only 6 degrees from each other, until mid December 2020.
Even though these two planets, Saturn and Pluto, conjunct in average every 33-34 years - 3 times per century - they do it in different signs, and the last time they were conjunct in Saturn's own sign of Capricorn, maximizing its potency, it was just for a few brief months in the late fall of the pre-historic year of 1894 BCE ! Looking at what was happening then, that was a time when the ancient city of Babylon was established by the amorite King, Samu Abum. In the following few decades that followed, a new establishment took its roots, and during King Hammurabi's empire, a whole new order established itself, which consequences, to this day, for better or worse, still affects and influences us.
However, though similar, our current astrological confluences are, believe it or not, much more unique than that. Unlike our Babylonian counterpart's astrological aspects, in which Saturn left Capricorn before Jupiter transited Pluto, our current conjunction between Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter in the sign of Capricorn, is so extraordinarily unique that, in addition to the fact that it'll last almost an entire year, such astrological configuration in Capricorn has actually never occurred until now for 6,594 years! That's right. This circumstance we are in may have only had a similar parallel in early pre-history circa 4,500 BCE !
What can the relationship between that time in pre-history and today be? Can we draw a parallel and attempt to gain clarity, even if in a broad sense, as to what we could be facing at this point in time?
Looking back around 6,500 years ago, that places us pre-historically around the Ubaid period of Mesopotamia. The Ubaid period is still very shrouded in mystery as they are seen as a more advanced people that were the original settlers of the region of Sumer, but were not the same people we came to later call Sumerians.
 
"The first settlers were not Sumerians but a people of unknown origin whom
 
archaeologists have termed the Ubaid people - from the excavated mound of al-Ubaid where
 
the artifacts were uncovered which first attested to their existence - or the Proto-
 
Euphrateans which designates them as earlier inhabitants of the region of the Euphrates
 
River.   Whoever these people were, they had already moved from a hunter-gatherer society
 
to an agrarian one prior to 5000 BCE". (Ref. Ancient History Encyclopedia)
Who came later? Who were these people that changed everything from what it was and reshaped us to whom we are today as a race?
Regardless of who they were, from a wide perspective, looking that far back at the place which we refer to be the beginning of your civilized history, in Sumerian pre-historical translations, we will find both the beginning of the establishment of Kingship and that of the first institutionalized religions, beginning with Judaism, which is intrinsically connected to the establishment of Kingship in the Sumero-Akkadian periods, giving rise to the old testament, soon followed by the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church and later Islamism. Together, we can see that these past events point to what can be viewed as the culprits of the early Patriarchal establishment.
The Kings were considered to be the middle-men between those ancient alien gods, possibly a demiurge, and the management of the Earthlings. Did such "astronaut" gods leave precise instruction as to what should the new establishment be and how it should be established? Or did their local representatives distort their directives to fit some other agenda?
Regardless, since then, what we have witnessed is the growing abuse of power in religious institutions and governments exploiting their people; blunt white-male supremacy, the brutal repression and enslavement of women and non-white people, the rivalry between nations and the establishment of war. In sum, what we have been witnessing over a few millennia, is the establishment of an energetically and spiritually obscure kingdom of Earth-Damaging-Narcissistic-Greed, which is slowly corroding the fabric of all that we deem most sacred. As a curious thought, if we were to look at its energetic acronym, EDNGR, it reveals in code the hidden message: Endanger. Curious coincidence?! The kingdom of Endanger, In Danger, EdenAnger, End the Anger...?
I wonder, could we be about to be visited by some other sky "gods"?
If Saturn represents Karma, could these beings be coming to help humanity reverse this dire social-economic trend and decrepit state of morals and consciousness? Could we be witnessing the beginning of a Kaliesque chopping of ego-heads necessary to end this cursory path and shift us towards a much more benign fate?
I choose to believe that things can't possibly head in any worse direction than we have been now for a long while, so why not imagine the best outcome of all possibilities?
Regardless of what may ultimately happen, I strongly recommend that we tighten our seatbelts and put our helmets on, as it looks like we may be on for a rough landing into a new reality, in which, I envision we may have to (happily) dump our Fossil fuel mid-air and open the luggage compartment to leave all that old baggage behind.
May Spirit bless us all, and this new world we are about to be birthed into.
May the shock of this landing serve to awaken us to a greater spiritual reality so that we may begin to understand the importance of becoming true allies to one another in stewarding the nurturing and protection of this magnificently beautiful planet home and learn the true meaning of LOVE for the first time.
