The Great Conjunction: Jupiter and Saturn are moving from one zodiac sign to another simultaneously on December 21 the longest night of the year, which happens once in 800 years, and the last time such an event happened Henry IV was on the English Throne.

For astrologers like Dawn Anne of Astrology answers, the next few days mark an event of almost unique significance and rarity. Jupiter and Saturn are moving from one zodiac sign to another almost simultaneously, which is a momentous occasion. On Friday, Saturn moves from Capricorn into Aquarius, and Jupiter follows two days later, and when both planets meet in the sky, the two will look like one conjoined star dubbed the Christmas star by some astronomers and the Solstice Star by others. The last Great Conjunction in Aquarius happened in  1405, and the last time Jupiter and Saturn lined up in this same part of the sky, in exactly this way, was 800 years ago.

Astrologers are looking at the direct implications for us down on Earth as the planets travel through different zodiac signs, their energy changes and so too does their influence on our lives. Jupiter and Saturn the lucky planet and the hard work planet respectively are especially powerful in terms of our relationships whether they are affecting our love lives finances or careers and we’ll feel the power of renewed hope and optimism in the world.

The two planets have differing influences, as Jupiter is the planet of joy, freedom, and adventure, Saturn is stern, restrictive, and less compassionate in general.

The two planets will conjoin in air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) for the next 200 years, signaling a new astrological era, which is named the new Age of Aquarius.
