I'm an astrologer. I would say 'amateur' but people have paid me.
A friend recently texted me to ask if id heard anything re: 'dat corona'. I actually hadn't bc i dont do predictive astrology, so i googled. This is what i found.
Im curious to know if their predictions turn out to be true, so I included a poll. Im trynna be scientific and this is an experiment. You're allowed to change your answer... and here we go!

Regardless of how crazy certain situations become, there is a sense of comfort in knowing the reason behind them, and more than anything, that they were a long time coming. For the last few years, astrologers have been talking about the astrology of 2020 not only because of the great combination of the intense astrological transits, but also because of the astronomical rarity of this year’s retrogrades. We knew 2020 was going to be a difficult, life-changing year, and now, here we are…
At the forefront of this year’s astrology, we have Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter having conjunctions with one another throughout the year, all in Capricorn. The three are slow-moving planets, with Saturn and Jupiter being social planets and Pluto being a generational planet, so it would make sense that their combined effect would affect the entire collective as a whole. While Saturn rules restrictions and boundaries, Pluto rules viruses and death, and Jupiter rules abundance as well as magnitude; being the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter expands everything that it touches—Jupiter represents the world.
The seed of Coronavirus was planted by the most awaited Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on January 12 with incredible symbolism. From what scientists have found, the virus came from a bat that was eaten by a snake—both animals ruled by Pluto—with the bat representing death and the snake being an ancient symbol of rebirth and transformation. Timely speaking, it makes sense that this virus was born in November-December before the peak of the aspect (in astrology, aspects are stronger before they perfect). Talk about a virus that can kill extremely rapidly—it doesn’t get more Plutonian than that—it also separates people by having to go into quarantine for weeks and weeks. Death is Pluto’s territory, while separation is Saturn’s realm. Together, as we are seeing, they are a deadly combination.
Just to get an idea of how important Saturn-Pluto conjunctions are for humanity, let’s go back in time: World War One and World War Two, as well as the Great Depression and the AIDS epidemic, all happened during a Saturn-Pluto conjunction. And once we let this historical, astronomical, and astrological fact sink in, we become aware of not only the importance of what we are currently living, we know what we are up against. As you can see, Saturn-Pluto transits are life-changing with long-term consequences.
However, there happen to be other players in action, of course. In astrology, there isn’t a formula that fits all—otherwise, we would be living the same thing again and again. And while Saturn and Pluto planted the seed, other planetary aspects and combinations helped create what I call The Perfect Storm.
While the first outbreak of the virus happened in December, back when Saturn was just two degrees away from hitting Pluto, what took this virus to the next level was Mars forming a conjunction with the south node of the moon on February 25—also in Capricorn. Mars is the planet that rules energy, and the south node of the moon is a point of release of energy. Because the aspects that involve the nodes of the moon affect us all, this could only read as a release of energy in the entire planet… by people dying. And as we know, along with Saturn and Pluto, Mars is also considered a “malefic” planet in classical astrology—Mars doesn’t mess around.
Like eloquent Sam Reynold writes in his blog: “Mars in Capricorn, its sign of exaltation (where he is the strongest) next to the south node of the moon, has created fear related to martial law, terror, and challenges to governments.” Think of 9/11, for example, which also happened under this aspect combination.
And then, of course, we had that nebulous, almost unnoticed conjunction between the sun and Neptune in Pisces—Neptune rules pandemics, as well as the dissolution of boundaries, and no one can argue against this pandemic getting completely out of hand exactly during the peak of this year’s sun-Neptune conjunction on March 7. Neptune, also a generational planet, rules Pisces in modern astrology, making its current placement in this sign incredibly strong. By the way, every year, the flu season hits during the time the sun is in Pisces, and although Coronavirus is not a flu, this is how it first started manifesting, exactly during a pretty gnarly Pisces season that included a Mercury (the ruler of the lungs in medical astrology) retrograde in this same sign.
As this article gets published, warrior Mars sits right next to Pluto as it approaches its last degrees in Capricorn to, later on, form a conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius. Things have been very intense in the last few days with a good amount of Martian law being enforced front and center, and as we already know, they will have to get worse before they get better.
As with all Saturn-Pluto conjunctions, we can safely say it’s going to take a long time to fully deal with this pandemic as well as its social consequences and economic and implications—most likely the entire year of 2020.
