Conjunction and opposition
Two planetary alignments often appear in these Skywatch reports: the conjunction and the opposition. A conjunction is powerful as two planets meet and exchange energy in the heavens. Some combinations will be pleasant, while others will be oil and vinegar. It’s the same idea with oppositions. Often we will observe a couple of planets lined up opposite each other who like to dance, and next month feel the tension and negativity of two planets, already enemies, who will face off in mortal combat – as was the case on 9/11 when Saturn opposed Pluto in the heavens. So, these connections are a case by case situation – and something you will learn about as you follow the changing planetary patterns in the months ahead.
