Jupiter and Saturn conjunction – Its effect in various zodiacal signs – A Sidereal Research

Background:

Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, these are known as exterior or external planets. In mundane astrology these planets give out several events across the universe based on its conjunctions in various zodiacal signs. Whenever, all these planets or majority of these planets jointly transit in a particular sign, it always gives major events like, storms, floods, earthquakes, major accidents in rail/air/sea, war, military coup, epidemics/pandemics, etc. Presently (as on April 25, 2020), Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Pluto all together are transiting in the sign Capricorn sign. In Brihat Samhita by Sage Varahamihira (which is compendium on mundane astrology) in Volume – I, Chapter 47, under the notes culled out from various Shastras, it is said that when Jupiter and Saturn both together transit in a single zodiac sign, then there will be pestilence, cholera and deaths among the people may occur. In this explanation, it has given occurrence of deaths, which can mean deaths on account of various events as mentioned above. The Indian shastras don’t take into account the planets like Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, its effects as per tropical astrology have great importance in mundane astrology. The planet Pluto for example is cause of deaths on a mass scale and is the main cause of major earthquakes too. Hence, its importance cannot be ignored. Presently, as mentioned earlier, heavy weights planets like Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are all jointly transiting in the sign Capricorn.

On November 8, 2019, both Jupiter and Saturn were together in the sign Sagittarius. These two planets stayed together till January 23, 2020 in the sign Sagittarius. Later, Saturn transited to sign Capricorn on January 24, 2020. Then, Jupiter transited the sign Capricorn on March 30, 2020 thereby joining Saturn. Since then, all the four planets have been together in Capricorn (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto). The planet Mars will move away from Capricorn on May 4, 2020. Then, Jupiter and Pluto together will move back from the sign Capricorn to Sagittarius on June 30, 2020. Then again Jupiter will move away from the sign Sagittarius to Capricorn on November 20, 2020, thereby joining again with Saturn in Capricorn. The planet Pluto will also join Jupiter and Saturn on December 30, 2020. These three planets namely Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will stay together in the sign Capricorn till April 5, 2021 and then move to sign Aquarius on April 6, 2021. Again on September 14, 2021, Jupiter will come back to Capricorn where again Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all will be together in the sign Capricorn. Then, Jupiter will finally leave Capricorn and go to sign Aquarius on November 21, 2021. This will be the last conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. The next conjunction of both Jupiter and Saturn will happen on June 3, 2039. As said earlier, the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in a zodiac sign gives several events of significance. I have studied the patterns of these planets in the past and listed out various events those have occurred. I have gone back till the year 1960.

You have been witnessing the events those have been there from 2019 end and till date. I have not listed those as these are fresh in your memories. I have listed below the date on which both Jupiter and Saturn have stayed together in one zodiac sign and the related events have also been specified. I have given links from Wikipedia. These events given are for all over the world and events occurred in India are highlighted. I have listed separately major events of significance. If you wish to know the other events you can go through the weblink provided above of Wikipedia. The period till November 21, 2021 is the period to be watched for.
